In a horrifying incident which came to light today, the police arrested five people, including the owner of the school, his son, the principal and two teachers, in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras for killing a class 2 boy, Kritarth, as a tantrik asked them to sacrifice a child to bring more fame and prosperity to DL Public School school.
The accused believed that offering a human sacrifice would lead to the school’s success.
The arrested principal, director and teachers of the school have been identified as Dinesh Baghel, Jashodhan Singh Laxman Singh, Ramprakash Solanki and Veerpal Singh.
The accused had earlier tried to carry out ‘human sacrifice’ on another class 9 student on September 6 but had failed, as the boy shouted and ran away.
During the investigation, items related to “black magic” were found by the police near the school.
