After the horrific case of Kerala that shocked the entire country, a man from Gujarat’s small village killed his 14-year-old daughter while performing black magic on her on the suspicion that the latter is possessed by a ghost.
As per police investigating the matter, the incident took place in Dhawa village of Gir Somnath district. The man has been identified as Bhavesh Akbari, who believed that his daughter was possessed by a ghost and thus performed exorcism leading to her death.
The district SP Manohar Singh Jadeja said, Bhavesh Akbari, came to this village six months back from Surat, along with his brother Dilip, performed rituals on the teen and made her wear torn clothes before finally taking her to Chaklidhar village.
In the horrific incident, the duo made the slain teen stand on the bonfire for two hours later burnt her clothes and bashed her. Police later said they made the girl stand between two chairs by tying a stick to her hair.
The murderers kept the teen hungry and thirsty for hours finally leading to her death after she couldn’t bear the torture anymore.
Police further while disclosing the matter said the teen’s body was kept wrapped in plastic and blankets for a while before being burnt at the crematorium. The duo also destroyed all evidence.
The girl’s family was detained after conducting a preliminary investigation into the matter. Villagers told the investigating party that Akbari (teen) mostly remained alone and didn’t interact much with others in the village.
The horrific incident came a couple of days after two women were allegedly sacrificed as a part of a ritual in remote Kerala by three people which included the couple to gain wealth. The body parts of the victims, Padma and Rosaline were mutilated and buried in the backyard.
