Siddaramaiah became the first Chief Minister in around two decades to visit the district as it was believed (and coincidentally borne out by events) that an incumbent CM will lose his post.
The district is not only said to be a hub of black magic and witchcraft, but is also supposedly cursed – but for chief ministers only. “There are other cases too, but they are registered only as murders or unnatural deaths” he claims. However, villagers say that cases where human “ingredients” are used in sacrifice rarely come to light, and that they more prevalent than is believed.įarmer and resident of Amachavadi village in the district, Mahesh says that the black magic aspect of those deaths only came to light because the two men were beheaded. Some days later, after conducting a fact finding study, a Dalit rights group alleged that the men had been “sacrificed”, Hindustan Times reported.
Two Dalit agricultural labourers had been beheaded by their employer, seemingly in a fit of rage, in Santhemarahalli village of the district. In March, a suspected case of human sacrifice emerged. It may have been a harmless – but rather expensive – superstitious belief, except for the fact that human blood is known to have been used, sometimes leaving dead bodies behind. That black magic is practised in Chamarajnagar district of southern Karnataka is an open secret but one that is well guarded – no one knows where and when a spell will be cast.
