Bhopal, February 27: A 25-year-old pregnant woman and her six-year-old daughter's beheaded bodies were found in the servant quarter of a government farmhouse in Raisen district on Saturday night.

Under a cot beside the beheaded bodies, police found a 'puja thali' with incense sticks, vermillion, sweets and other offerings. Vermillion was smeared on the foreheads of the victims. It is being suspected that the incident could be a case of human sacrifice.

"We cannot pinpoint the motive at this point. But we are sure the double murders had nothing to do with the purpose of looting or rape. The crime scene is a small 7X7 feet room with a television set, mobile phone and other consumer durables. No one touched them or the small amount of money that was in the room," Raisen superintendent of police I P Kulshreshta told TOI.

The incident occurred in Begumgunj, about 80 km from Raisen town. Gomati Bai, wife of the farmhouse watchman Ram Singh Gaur, was six months pregnant and was alone with her daughter Sapna since Wednesday morning. Her husband Ram Singh Gaur had come to Bhopalfor some personal work. "She last spoke to her husband at 6pm on Saturday," Kulshreshta said.

After spending three days in Bhopal, watchman Ram Singh Gaur returned to Begumgunj at 9pm. "He returned at 9 pm, saw the bodies of his wife and daughter and reported the matter to the local police station at midnight," the SP said. The three hour gap between his arrival in Raisen and reporting the matter to the police has made Ram Singh the prime suspect in the killings.

Police are interrogating the watchman about his recent trip to Bhopal, the purpose of that visit and the time of the murders.
