A tragic incident occurred in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, where a woman allegedly beheaded her three-year-old stepdaughter using a sharp axe. The event took place late on Tuesday night, between 11 PM and midnight. While the exact motives behind the act remain unclear, local law enforcement has indicated a possible connection to witchcraft, as the area where the crime was committed reportedly contained images of deities and items associated with occult practices.

Suspicion and Discovery

Triveni Maurya, the father of the victim, recounted the events leading to the discovery of the crime. He noticed his wife, Pooja Maurya, leaving their home shortly after 11 PM, which he found unusual as she typically did not go out at that hour. This sparked his concern, prompting him to follow her, and he raised an alarm that brought other villagers to his aid. After a short time, Triveni returned home to find his daughter brutally murdered.

Possible Occult Angle Under Probe

The young girl had suffered a fatal blow from the axe, resulting in her head being severed from her body. Once the villagers became aware of the situation, they contacted the police who arrived promptly on the scene. Authorities apprehended the accused and secured the murder weapon for further investigation.

Accused Arrested, Investigation Ongoing

Ratneshwar Singh, a senior police officer, informed that the investigation is ongoing to uncover the underlying motives behind this heinous crime. He confirmed that the accused was in custody and assured that the police would conduct a thorough inquiry.

Family Background

According to details that emerged, Triveni and Pooja had married in January of this year following the death of Triveni’s first wife. Triveni had taken this step to provide stability and support for his young daughter. The complexities of the familial dynamics and the circumstances surrounding the incident are likely to play a significant role in the ongoing investigation.
