Parents beat 5-yr-old girl to death while conducting ‘black magic removing ritual’

A ‘BLACK magic removing practice’ on a five-year-old girl went horribly wrong and led to the kid’s death in Subhash Nagar, on Saturday. Three persons including parents of the girl were arrested by Rana Pratap Nagar police on murder charges.

The incident took place in the wee hours of Saturday when the parents and aunt of the girl tried some ‘black magic removing rituals’ at their home on the girl. She was allegedly tortured by the three during the practice to ‘drive away evil forces’ from the girl, police officials said.

The arrested accused have been identified as Siddharth Chimne (45), his wife Ranjana (42) and sister-in-law Priya Bansod (32), all residents of Subhash Nagar, according to DCP (Detection) Chinmay Pandit. Siddharth is vice-president of ‘Gaon Maajha’ you tube channel.

Shockingly, the accused even filmed the video of the girl when they tortured her mercilessly for the entire night. She was badly beaten, slapped and hit by the accused. The girl was crying loudly when the accused were performing the rituals, said a police official after watching the video.

The accused Siddharth is father of two girls -- five and 16-year-olds. The family had gone to some Dargah in Takalghat on Guru Pournima. Since then, Siddharth was allegedly suspecting change in behaviour of the younger daughter. He came to the conclusion that the girl was possessed by some evil forces and decided to perform ‘black magic’ to drive away the evil.

According to information, the accused started ‘occult practice’ late on Friday night. They kept asking the girl some questions which were clearly beyond her comprehension. As a result, the girl was unable to answer properly. During the process, the accused kept thrashing the girl mercilessly. After some time, the girl collapsed on the ground and fell unconscious, officials said.

As the kid was not responding, the accused took her to Tajbagh Dargah in the morning hours and later shifted her to Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC&H). The accused ran away after admitting her to hospital. However, a security guard grew suspicious of them and captured a photo of their car. Police were immediately informed by the hospital authorities.

The accused were identified on the basis of vehicle registration number captured in the photo. Rana Pratap Nagar police reached the house of the accused in Subhash Nagar slums and arrested them. An offence under provisions of Indian Penal Code and The Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act was registered by the police. The accused will be produced in the court on Sunday.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
