A video is viral on social media where people in saffron clothes are dancing with human skulls. The police have filed cases against 10 people on the allegations that they have eaten human flesh during a religious festival and are dancing with the display of skulls.
A case was registered against 10 ‘samiyaadis’ for carrying a human skull and allegedly eating human flesh during a festival in a temple in Kallurani village of Tamilnadu.
The ‘samiyaadis’ were booked based on a complaint filed by Village Administrative Officer after a video clip went viral on social media.
The police detained a few ‘samiyaadis’ of Sakthi Pothi Sudalai Madasamy Temple (Kaattu Kovil) to know whose body they had exhumed to eat.
“However, the police are clueless about when and where the body was exhumed as the samiyaadis keep on saying that they went into trance and were possessed by the temple deity when the incident took place.
The police are also inquiring if the half-burnt human body was brought from any village crematorium,” they said.
