The police said in a statement: “The investigation led the police to a juvenile.

"He revealed he had kidnapped the victim on December 29, 2022, from Sayli village and murdered him as a human sacrifice with the help of his accomplice.”

The paper says the BJP Scheduled Tribe (ST) Morcha in the UT has submitted a memorandum to the Superintendent of Police, seeking strict punishment for the accused persons.

"The deceased child belonged to the tribal Warli community," the memo said.

"His family has no enmity with anyone. It is learnt that the innocent child was sacrificed by some culprit and a tantrik.

"This incident is disgusting and inhuman and a very serious crime.

"We demand a fair investigation and action by arresting all those involved in the crime. Police should take appropriate and quick action in all ways so that the accused persons get the harshest punishment."
