Meanwhile, Health Minister Veena George said that they will take strict action against the people for doing such things on children. She also called on to build public awareness against black magic.
On October 14, three persons including a couple, Bhagaval Singh and Laila, were arrested for murdering, dismembering and burying women as 'sacrifices' for black magic in Kerala. The three persons plotted against the two women with the belief that black magic will bring them wellness.
The accused Muhammed Shafi who was already accused of rape posed as a godman and was instrumental for the murders.
Later, the couple buried the body in their home. The godman had also taken money from the couple for organising the sacrifice.
