An 11-year-old boy was allegedly murdered as part of a human sacrifice ritual by authorities of a school in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras. Reports say the owner of the school and his accomplices killed the class 2 student on September 22, thinking it would bring prosperity to the DL Public School at Rasgawan, Police said. Five people, including the owner of the school, Jasodhan Singh have been arrested for the crime.
Others include his son and director of the school, Dinesh Baghel and three teachers who wanted 'prosperity' for the financially-strained school. According to NDTV, the culprits attempted to sacrifice Kritarth near a tubewell outside the school hostel while he was asleep. But the boy woke up and put up a fight, which led the men to kill him.
Medical examination of the body revealed that the kid was killed by strangulation.

"I received a call from my son’s school saying, 'Your child's condition is very serious.
Please come immediately," his father said per India Today. "While I was on my way, they called again and said, 'The child's condition has worsened, and we are taking him to Sadabad.' We followed them towards Agra, but they didn’t stop the car," he further said adding that he found his son's body after chasing them down.
Shockingly enough, this was the.
