A 10-year-old innocent Kanhaiya Kumar was sacrificed on the night of Diwali by his uncle Shivnandan Ravidas (40) after he was lured from his house at Vinoba Tola under Pirpainti police station area in Bhagalpur district on the pretext of providing him firecrackers on Sunday evening, TOI reports .
The accused slit Kanhaiya’s throat with a sharp edged weapon as a sacrifice after performing the puja in the presence of the tantric, Vilas Mandal.
After sacrificing the kid, the two accused dumped his body in a bamboo orchard on the village outskirts on Monday.

They were produced before a local court, which remanded them to 14-day judicial custody,” Bhagalpur SSP Ashish Bharti said on Monday.
