Chennai: Police raided a house and arrested six people in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai following a complaint of human sacrifice. Five members of the family and the sorcerer were arrested who had been performing puja after closing their house for three days. The Tehsildar and the police entered the house using JCB machines after threatening to sacrifice themselves if the puja was disturbed.
For the past three days, the puja was being held at the house of Taramani, who lives in Arani SV Nagar in the Tiruvannamalai district. Neighbors heard crying from the house in the morning and informed the police and tehsildar. Then Tehsildar and police reached the spot and asked to open the door but the family refused to open it. Those inside shouted that if he tried to open the door, he would kill himself by slitting his throat and not disturb the puja. With this, all the villagers gathered outside the human sacrifice became angry. When the family did not cooperate, the police sought the help of the fire brigade. After that, the police and fire brigade officers broke the door of the house with JCB and entered and arrested the people who practiced witchcraft.
