Guwahati: In a horrifying incident, two men are accused of killing a 6-year-old boy on Saturday night in South Delhi’s Lodhi Colony as a “sacrifice on the orders of God.”
The incident occurred on Saturday night near the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) headquarters’ construction site in the exclusive Lodhi Colony neighbourhood, according to Delhi Police. In the early hours of Sunday, Delhi Police received a PCR call from Lodhi Colony reporting that two males had slit a 6-year-old boy’s throat at a building that was still under construction. Police officers arrived on the scene quickly and detained the two suspects who had already been apprehended by other workers and CRPF officers who were on duty.
The fatality was revealed to be the son of one of the construction workers on the job site. They were born and raised in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
According to the police, Vijay Kumar and Aman Kumar, the two accused, are both from Bihar and worked as cement cutters at the construction site.
The accused allegedly cut the child’s throat while high on narcotics, according to the police.
According to the police, the accused knew the youngster as well, and there was no animosity between the two families.
On Saturday night at about 10:30 pm, the accused called the kid as he was leaving for his shed. According to investigators, they took the youngster to their kitchen where they committed the crime. One of the suspects reportedly told Delhi Police that he saw Bhole Baba telling them to cut a child’s throat.
The investigation is in progress.
