Hathras Police Arrest Five in Alleged Black Magic Murder of 11-Year-Old Boy at DL Public School
Hathras, Uttar Pradesh – On September 28, Hathras Basic Siksha Adhikari (BSA), Swati Bharti, ordered the closure of DL Public School after an 11-year-old boy was allegedly murdered as part of a ‘black magic ritual’. The school was operating illegally up to class 8, despite only being recognized up to class 5.
Bharti has filed a case against the school manager for the alleged murder of the student to benefit the school. The boy was reportedly murdered on September 23 at the school’s hostel. The police have arrested five individuals: Ramprakash Solanki, Dinesh Baghel, Jashodhan Singh alias Bhagat ji, Laxman Singh, and Virpal Singh alias Viru. They have been charged under section 103(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and are in judicial custody.
Hathras Additional Superintendent of Police, Ashok Kumar Singh, stated, “On 23rd September, a student was murdered at the hostel of DL Public School under Sahpau PS. A case was registered under relevant sections based on the complainant’s statement. Five accused, including the owner of the school, have been arrested and sent to judicial custody. Police will investigate all angles.”
The parents of the deceased are demanding justice. The boy’s father, Shrikishan Kushwaha, said, “My son was strangled; he was brutally murdered; his neck’s bone was broken, his lips turned blue; I want them to be at least hanged to death. I want justice.” The boy’s mother, Kamlesh, added, “Bulldozer should be run on the school. There should be a CBI inquiry in the case. The culprits should be hanged.”
Shrikishan Kushwaha recounted the events leading up to the discovery of his son’s body, stating that the school manager misled him about his son’s condition and location. He found his son’s body with Dinesh Baghel, who was intoxicated. Kushwaha does not believe any ritual was performed, stating, “My son was studying there for 4 years. I don’t think there was any ritual performed there. He wasn’t sacrificed. He was brutally murdered. I want an SIT team to investigate the matter.”
