During the search on Wednesday, we found Yug’s body hidden in a haystack behind Bankar’s residence. On questioning, they spilt the beans. We have arrested them." The worst is Meshrams didn't suspect anything foul about their neighbours and found them to be extremely good.

They had the belief that the since the child had three whirls in his hair and was born with his feet coming out first, he was ideal for sacrifices. They killed the boy on August 23 after performing black magic and thought of disposing of the body in the nearby river, but due to people moving around in the area, they decided to hide the child's body in a stack of hay. The accused have been booked under the relevant sections of the IPC.
