Assam Human Sacrifice

Five persons, two of them from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, were arrested for allegedly beheading a woman for human sacrifice at Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati a few days before the Ambubachi Mela about four years ago, police said on Tuesday.

The body of a 5-year-old girl, reported missing since Sunday, was recovered last night from the Singlu river in Assam's Charaideo district, the police said.

The Assam police has detained two brothers, who were taken to the police station by locals on suspicion of attempting to sacrifice their own children in search of a hidden treasure.

A school teacher and his family allegedly tried to sacrifice a three-year-old in their house in Udalguri district of Assam on Saturday, but locals intervened and immediately informed the police and the media.

The discovery of a man's severed head on a road leading to the ancient Kamakhya temple created quite a sensation in this Assam's major city on Friday, and police said it could be a case of human sacrifice.
