15 year old sacrificed at dera - Body exhumed
The body of 15-year-old Amandeep Singh of Mandi Ahmedgarh in district Sangrur was then exhumed in the presence of his parents, the police and other people at Dera Bharion Nath in village Paheri near Amloh in district Fatehgarh Sahib.
Fatehgarh Sahib Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dr Kaustabh Sharma and Amloh's Naib Tehsildar Jaswinder Singh supervised the task. The team took the body to the civil hospital at Amloh for autopsy.
Briefing newsmen at the hospital, the SSP said the child had been putting up at the dera for at least a month-and-a-half and the managers claimed he had died of snakebite.
The dera management claim having put the child in grave after performing his last rites as per their rituals, say the police.
Child's father Kuldip refuted the claim of the dera managers.
After receiving the complaint, the police quickly moved into action and dug up the grave.
People claimed witnessing chopping marks on the body. The SSP said the autopsy report would lay the course for further action.
Amandeep's maternal uncle Preetpal Singh also said the child had been sacrificed, as occult arts were practiced in the dera.
"When the relatives received the news of Amandeep's death yesterday, they reached the dera to claim his body, but the dera managers began threatening them instead," said Preetpal.
Amandeep was a student at Gandhi School in Mandi Ahmedgarh and had not returned there after passing Class VI examinations, the results of which were declared on March 31.
Since that day, he had become a sworn disciple of the dera
