In a horrific incident reported from Rajasthan, a 16-year-old girl reportedly beheaded her 7-year-old niece with a sword in an occult ritual and claimed that she was possessed by a spirit. The incident was reported from Dungarpur district’s Jhinjhwafala village and occurred sometime around the wee hours of Monday.

According to reports, the incident happened when a statue of a certain deity was installed in the residence of the victim and abused. The two minor girls were involved in occult-like ceremony. As the deity was being worshipped, the minor accused started claiming that she will kill everyone as her actions would be under the influence of the deity.

She then picked up a sword and started to attack people around her. The accused minor ended up injuring her father and her uncle, who tried to overpower and control her mania. She then barged into the room of the victim who was sleeping alone.

Dragging the victim into another room, the accused minor beheaded her with a sword. The statue of the deity was installed to celebrate “dashamata vrat” which is observed every year between “amavasya” and “teej”.

Earlier in June, a 4-year-old girl was forced to battle for her life in Nellore, after her father stuffed her mouth with “haldi” and “sindoor” during an occult ritual.

The Facts of the Matter

Centuries ago, when a person committed a heinous crime in a mentally distorted state, people often pushed the instance under the rug, and claimed that the actions were committed in the guise of a ritual. Due to lack of awareness regarding mental health, people leaned towards superstition more than critical-reasoning.

It’s 2022, the medical world has progressed leaps and bounds, and yet crimes continue getting committed under the guise of superstition. A similar instance was reported from Rajasthan, where a 16-year-old girl beheaded her own 7-year-old niece during an occult ritual.
