GUWAHATI: A four-yearold girl was allegedly sacrificed during Kali puja in a village in Sivasagar district. The incident came to light on Monday when locals found severed body parts of a girl child on the bank of a river at Sonari. The puja was allegedly performed in the house of one Hanuman in the village on Saturday night. An irate mob ransacked the houses of two persons, who had performed the puja, and that of Hanuman. Police have arrested the two tantric and the family members of Hanuman. In another incident, two elderly women, Saloni Gour and Sago Gour, were buried alive at Naharbari village in Nagaon district by three brothers on Monday. Police dug out the bodies on Tuesday and arrested two of the accused, Basu and Sanu Gour, while the third, Kumar, fled. The women were allegedly “punished” for practising black magic on the family of the Gour brothers, as a result of which they were suffering from various ailments. That was, however, not the end to superstitious beliefs among villagers in remote areas of Assam. In Kamrup district, the body of a freelance television journalist, who died from snake bite on Monday, was on Tuesday was given a “water burial” at the Brahmaputra with the belief that this would bring him to life.
