    Arrest all those mantriks who undertake these barbaric sins. The poor section of our society are still the victims. The government of the day should hunt for such mantriks and prosecute them.

    'Amrita, who was sleeping with her mother on Monday night, went missing all of a sudden when Lakshmi woke up at around 3 am."

    Can any believe!
    Even if she was kidnapped by a stranger, the kid would have made some noise.
    What a tragedy.
    The culprits should be caught and punished for this act.

    v sad incident. the little innocent angel became victim of false power and greed.

    All these witches and black magicians are followers of satans and cults, they have cheat ignorant people in name of power and greed for wealth. People should keen close eye on such cult people and stop their activities. mostly they target small children

    The baby was sleeping with her mother, her grandfather suspects it to be witchcraft, then who did the sacrificing ritual ? Her father ???

    Do we want riches at the cost of our children's life ? If so, couldn't his father have offered him as sacrifice instead of raising him ?
