Various media outlets are reporting the discovery of the body of a beheaded male in a temple in West Bengal in India. Reporting on the grisly discovery, THAINDIAN NEWS states:
The detached head which was lying beside the body appeared severely injured. Police Superintendent Rabindranath Mukherjee speaking on behalf of the police authorities of the district reported today that the severed head was also marked with vermilion. Keeping in mind the fact that the temple was of the Hindu goddess Kali, authorities have raised the claim that the man was not murdered but was killed as a token of sacrifice to god.
Other sources in the article dispute the claim of human sacrifice believing it was a murder staged to appear as a ritual act. At any rate, while this event is disturbing I think I would be more concerned if the victim’s heart had been removed and authorities made a connection to the crime and missing Sankara stones tied to the cult of Mola Ram.
