Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Bag Sewania police on Saturday arrested a 58-year-old railway mechanic for murdering 50-year-old tea stall worker from Nepal.

The accused Omprakash Sharma who lived alone in the railway colony near Habibganj station was known to practise sorcery at his residence.

Police officials said body of Kamal was found at Bag Sewania railway colony. The deceased was later identified as Kamal, a Nepali national who worked at a tea stall near Sanchi Dairy.

Investigations revealed that Sharma, employed in the Railway AC Electrical Department at Habibganj, frequently visited Kamal’s workplace for tea. He often gave the victim money for liquor and insisted that Kamal become his personal attendant.

As per eye witnesses, Sharma forcibly took Kamal, who was drunk, from Habibganj Naka to his residence in the evening on Wednesday.

Police investigations revealed that later that night, Sharma brutally tortured Kamal, even pressing his leg against the victim’s neck and beating him with a wooden stick. Sharma killed Kamal and later moved the body to the porch to avoid suspicion. He then cleaned the crime scene to erase traces of blood.

Police officials said primary questioning indicates that murder took place under influence of alcohol as the accused wanted Kamal Nepali to work as his domestic help for which he was reluctant. However, further investigation is underway to determine whether his occult practices were linked to the crime.

Victim tortured, practised voodoo

Police recovered disturbing photographs from Sharma’s mobile phone showing him assaulting and torturing Kamal. Investigators also found cloth dolls and ritual items at Sharma’s house, confirming his involvement in occult practices like voodoo.
