Agra: Two men said to be `tantriks` have been arrested here after they dug out the body of a young girl buried after death in order to do occult rituals in search of gold, police said Sunday.
The headless body of the 12-year-old girl was recovered from the cremation ground along the Yamuna river in the morning, a police officer said.
The two men, one each from Agra and Etah district, told police they wanted to carry out "some tantrik rituals" with girl`s head.
The girl had died two days ago and was buried at the cremation ground. One of the accused is the ground`s caretaker and is believed to have passed on the information to the man from Etah.
