eyes were gouged out before he was sacrificed in Orissa to appease
the gods. Sundergarh District Police today arrested Gananath Dehuri

situation. Gananath, 30, who is a distant relative of the deceased,
picked up the child on Sunday when the villagers were busy performing
the Ramayana ballet. The little boy was stripped, his ring finger
was chopped and his eyes taken out before he was killed. Gananath
has confessed to the crime and has handed over the knife that he used
for the murder. Shocked villagers blamed sheer illiteracy for the
crime. "This has happened due to illiteracy and superstition. If it
is removed everything will be solved. People still believe in all
these superstition," said Laxmi Hary, a villager. Bhabagrahi Dehuri,
the victim's father, who was anxiously searching for his son, fainted
when he saw the mutilated body of his son. "His mother and everyone
in the family searched for him. When I went to his school I saw a
crowd gathered and I thought he had come back. But, when I saw him,
I fainted," cried Bhabagrahi. Sundergarh SSP YK Jethwa said that a
campaign would be organised in the villages to educate the people
about the ill effects of superstition. "Investigation is going on,
post-mortem is being conducted and people involved in the crime have
been examined. The accused has been arrested and produced in the court.
The weapon used in the crime has been recovered. We are organising
a campaign against the superstitions, which stemmed out of illiteracy
and will take preventive steps in Sundergarh," said Jethwa.
