Bhopal: A chilling case of suspected human sacrifice has sent shockwaves through Tikamgarh district in Madhya Pradesh after the decapitated body of a 32-year-old man was discovered near a religious site in Vijaypur village on Sunday.
The victim, identified as Akhilesh Kushwaha, was found with his head and torso placed separately near the “Godbaba Chabutra” (platform), a local place of worship.
The heinous crime occurred under the jurisdiction of Chandera police station. According to police officials, the body was discovered around 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.
Senior officers from Jatara, who are leading the investigation, confirmed that ritualistic items – including a flag, lemon, coconut, incense sticks, and a chillum – were found near the severed head. These findings have led authorities to suspect that the killing may have been an act of human sacrifice.
“The matter is under investigation,” a senior police official said, declining to elaborate further.
Kushwaha, a resident of Satguwa village, reportedly lived in a farmhouse near Vijaypur. His body was found just a short distance from his residence. Police sources said he had left home on Saturday afternoon to collect milk but never returned.
His father, Gola Kushwaha, had passed away earlier that same day, adding a tragic dimension to the incident.
Police have registered a case of murder against unknown persons and called in a forensic science laboratory (FSL) team to examine the scene.
A dog squad was also deployed to assist in the investigation, and statements are being recorded from villagers and family members.
