The disturbance occurred overnight during Mahashivratri celebrations in the Gundardehi thana area under Haldi chowki jurisdiction. Early morning patrols spotted the tampered grave on the path to Mukti Dham, prompting immediate alerts. By sunrise, hundreds of villagers had converged, their faces etched with anger and dread.

Eyewitnesses described the scene: loose earth piled aside, clear signs of nocturnal excavation, and the eerie placement of tantric symbols. ‘We buried her with love, and now this monstrosity,’ lamented the bereaved family. The October 9, 2025, tragedy that took the child’s life was compounded by this profane act.

Senior police officials arrived promptly, cordoning off the area. The investigation points to possible tantra-mantra involvement, a persistent issue in some tribal belts. Teams are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas, interrogating suspects, and appealing for public tips.

Community leaders have called for heightened vigilance against occult threats. This case underscores the need for awareness campaigns against blind faith. As forensic analysis begins, Balod police vow to crack the case soon, bringing justice to the innocent victim and solace to her shaken kin.

Diverging from the dance-filled Chaitra or Sharad Navratri, Gupta Navratri demands solitude and introspection. Ada’s video weaves a timeless legend: In an era dominated by demonic forces and arrogance, gods implored Shiva, immersed in samadhi on Kailash. A celestial proclamation urged action. Parvati concealed her divine presence, embarking on profound sadhana without parades or music.

Through this secretive tapas, she unlocked the Dasha Mahavidyas’ occult teachings, reserved for the pure-hearted. Her awakened Shakti eroded evil’s foundations, as adversaries lacked the faith to counter it. Victorious, Parvati proclaimed her accessibility in stillness, not clamor—echoing the festival’s core: an internal odyssey uniting divine masculine and feminine energies.

In her caption, Ada reflects on how Gupta Navratri teaches that authentic strength blooms in quiet devotion, not ostentation. Practitioners engage in silent pujas, japa, and dhyan, harnessing this period for mantra sadhana, inner elevation, and invoking subtle powers. Ada’s poignant narration serves as a modern beacon, encouraging a shift from outward revelry to profound self-discovery amid this mystical nine nights.

Police inquiries at Golmuri police station have revealed the sensational details of the murder of 22-year-old Ajay Basa alias Jhattu, which occurred on Monday. The reason behind this incident has shaken the entire city. Police have arrested Ajay’s neighbor and friend Sandeep Prasad, along with his brother, mother, brother-in-law, and Bharat, a resident of Kewaltown, who were involved in this heinous crime.

During police interrogation, a shocking revelation came to light. The accused, Sandeep, had been practicing tantra-mantra for a long time and had been planning to sacrifice his own friend Ajay to obtain “Siddhi” for the past three years. The arrested accused, Bharat, revealed that he knew Sandeep was going to sacrifice Ajay, but he could not speak out due to fear.

According to the investigation, on Monday, Sandeep and Bharat bought a large iron box from the market and kept it in a rented room in Kewaltown. Later, Sandeep called Ajay there on the pretext of giving him a “party”. During the party, after Ajay became unconscious from the alcohol, his hands and feet were tied, and he was locked in the box.

At night, Sandeep brought Ajay, who was locked in the box, to his house and started performing tantra-mantra rituals. Around midnight, he slit Ajay’s throat with a sharp weapon and sacrificed him. According to the police, the blood that came out of Ajay’s body during the sacrifice was offered in the puja. When Ajay started writhing, he was thrown into the lane next to the house.

Upon receiving the information, Golmuri police station in-charge Sanjay Suman arrived with his team and sent the injured Ajay to the hospital, but he died on the way.

During police interrogation, Sandeep revealed a shocking fact. He admitted that a year ago, he had also caused the death of Ajay’s father, Jagdish Basa, through tantra-mantra. After that, he bought their hotel. Sandeep claimed that he had brought Ajay under his control with the power of tantra-mantra and had been preparing for his sacrifice for a long time.

Not only this, but the father and sister of the accused have also died mysteriously. It is said that the father hanged himself five years ago, while the sister died in suspicious circumstances.

The police have seized the box, knife, and puja material from the crime scene.
