A man has been arrested for allegedly sacrificing a seven-year-old girl. He wanted a child, police said here on Friday.
The accused Tejram Manjhi (30) allegedly kidnapped the victim, Santoshi, from the tribal-dominated Chirramuda village during a local festival on Thursday and strangulated her in a nearby forest, Raigarh SP Rahul Sharma said.
He later offered the body of the girl to a local deity. Villagers later handed him over to the police, Sharma said.
