Hyderabad, Feb 16: The Hyderabad Police on Thursday arrested a couple for beheading a baby girl as part of a human sacrifice ritual during the 'super blue blood moon' on January 31.

Kerukonda Rajasekhar, a cab driver, performed the rituals along with his wife Srilatha on the advice of a 'tantrik'.

As per Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M. Bhagwat, the couple was not keeping well for some time and on the advice of some black magician, took this drastic step.

The matter came to light when the head of the baby girl was found on the terrace of the cab driver's house in Hyderabad's Uppal area on February 1.

"On February 1, 2018, we received a complaint about recovered of a head of a baby from dial-100, following which a team of police immediately reached the spot.

An FIR was registered and the investigation was initiated in the matter," Bhagwat said.

As per the Commissioner of Police during the course of the investigation, the accused tried to mislead the police by narrating different stories, but the DNA test revealed the truth.

The accused had allegedly abducted the baby girl while she was asleep beside her parents on a footpath. He also took the feeding bottle with nipple along with the baby for using it in black magic rituals.

Rajasekhar took the abducted baby to Musi river near Prathapsingaram and beheaded her. He dumped the torso into the river and carried the head in a polythene bag to home to perform the "kshudra pooja" (black magic).

Both husband and wife performed the rituals in the living room of their residence, keeping the severed head at the altar.

After completing the rituals, the accused carried the severed head to the terrace and kept it in the south-west corner under the lunar eclipse moonlight and the rising sun.

New Delhi, Mar 15: The new rules for debit and credit cards to increase security and reduce frauds kick in from Monday. In January, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had issued new rules to improve user convenience and increase the security of card transactions. These rules will help in curbing the misuse of debit and credit cards.

RBI has directed banks to allow only domestic card transactions at ATMs and PoS terminals in India at the time of issuance/reissuance of card. For international transactions, online transactions, card-not-present transactions and contactless transactions, customers will have to separately set up services on their card.

These rules will be applicable for new cards from March 16. Those with old cards can decide whether to disable any of these features.

As per the existing rules, these services used to come automatically with the card, but now it will start at the request of the customer.

Debit or credit card customers who have not yet done any online transaction, contactless transaction or international transaction with the card, then these services on the card will automatically stop from March 16.

The Reserve Bank has asked all banks to provide mobile banking, net banking option to enable limit and enable and disable service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If the customer makes any change in the status of the card, the bank will alert the customer through SMS/email and send the information.

Issuers shall provide to all cardholders facility to switch on/off and set/modify transaction limits (within the overall card limit, if any, set by the issuer) for all types of transactions -- domestic and international, at PoS/ATMs/online transactions/contactless transactions, etc.,

The provisions, however, are not mandatory for prepaid gift cards and those used at mass transit systems.

The latest instructions come in the wake of rising instances of cyber frauds and the huge increase in the use of cards.
