Eight-Year-Old Girl Murdered in Ritual Sacrifice in India

A tragic and shocking incident has unfolded in **Bihar, India**, where an eight-year-old girl was brutally murdered in what authorities describe as a ritual sacrifice. The child’s mutilated body was discovered on **August 9, 2023**, leading to the prompt arrest of four individuals suspected of her abduction and murder.
According to police reports, the main suspect, **Dilip Kumar**, sought the guidance of a self-proclaimed **sorcerer**, **Pervez Alam**, after experiencing years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive with his wife. Alam allegedly advised the couple that to ensure the safe delivery of their child, the mother should wear an amulet created from the blood and eyes of a virgin girl.
The police investigation revealed that Kumar, along with two accomplices, **Tanveer Alam** and an individual identified only as **Dasarath**, kidnapped the young girl from her village in the **Munger district**. She was returning home after delivering lunch to her father, a fisherman, when the suspects seized her.
The abductors took the girl to their chicken farm in **Padham village**, where they reportedly conducted rituals before murdering her and removing her eyes. These gruesome remains were fashioned into a necklace intended for the pregnant woman.
Police Superintendent **J. J. Reddy** stated, “Dilip’s wife had conceived after many unsuccessful years of pregnancy. Hence, he acted on the suggestion of the Tantrik from neighbouring Khagaria district, which led to the gruesome killing of the minor girl.”
In light of the evidence collected at the scene, law enforcement has charged the suspects with murder and suspected rape, as certain injuries were found on the girl’s body. The authorities are determined to expedite the judicial process, with indications that the charge sheet will be submitted promptly.
This horrifying case resonates with a separate incident that occurred in the **United States**, where **Ashley Parmeley**, a 36-year-old mother from **Festus, Missouri**, is accused of attempting to kill her two children in an alleged sacrifice. On **May 28, 2022**, Parmeley walked into the local police department and confessed to the murders of her son, **Isaac**, and daughter. Reports indicate she initially tried to kill Isaac in **St. Francois County** before taking him to a resort where she drowned him in a water fountain.
While the motives behind these acts remain complex, the cases highlight a disturbing trend of ritualistic violence linked to misguided beliefs in both regions. Local and international communities are calling for deeper investigations into the societal factors that contribute to such tragic incidents.
