Boy's Death Linked to Black Magic Rituals
16 Jun
Summary
- Child found dead with alleged burn and head injuries.
- Relatives accuse aunt and grandmother of black magic.
- Boy was reportedly blamed for parents' marital issues.

A six-year-old boy named Mugilan was discovered deceased in Tamil Nadu's Vellore district, under circumstances that have raised serious concerns among relatives. The child was reportedly found with burn marks and a head injury, prompting immediate police involvement and a post-mortem examination. Relatives have come forward with allegations suggesting the involvement of black magic rituals, pointing fingers at the boy's paternal grandmother, Vijaya, and his aunt, Revathi.
According to these allegations, both Vijaya and Revathi purportedly believed that Mugilan was the cause of his parents' marital strife. The parents had reportedly separated for a period due to their discord before reconciling and moving away for work, leaving Mugilan in his grandmother's care. This has fueled speculation within the community regarding a possible human sacrifice during occult practices, especially since the incident occurred near Amavasya (new moon day).
Authorities have detained both Vijaya and Revathi for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation. While police have urged the public to avoid speculation, they are awaiting forensic and post-mortem reports to ascertain the exact cause of the child's death and to confirm or refute the claims of black magic and human sacrifice. Further details are expected to emerge following a thorough scientific examination of the evidence collected from the grandmother's residence.
