JAIPUR: Four days after a toddler’s charred body was found in a well in Jamwa Ramgarh, cops claimed that all the clues are leading to the possibility that the child was murdered by a family member. Cops also found that the whole family is embedded in tantric traditions and superstition. After the child disappeared, the family did not search for the boy and only informed the police when an acquaintance recommended it.
Two-and-a-half-year-old Ganesh Regar had gone missing on Thursday around 2.30pm. The child was abducted and killed the day before and his body was burnt.
“As the investigation is progressing, we are finding more details which indicate that the child was murdered due to some kind of superstition. This is based on the fact that if someone had to kill the child then there was no need to burn the body. The killer could have just dumped the body in the well,” said an official who is part of the investigation.
Police also have a senior citizen on their radar and the official said, “This person is a distant relative of the victim’s family and it appears to be an inside job. It is strange that the victim’s mother and aunt who were sitting near the gate of the house claimed to have not seen anything. Sources told us that the family did not even search for the missing child. The whole case seems to have its source within the victim’s family.”
Cops also said that the toddler was still learning to speak and the family had taken him to a tantric to speed up the process. “The family members are so deeply involved in tantric and similar things that few of the women claimed to have been possessed by ghosts. However, if one of the family members took the life of the child due to some faith, then we will not spare any of them,” said the official.
