In a spine-chilling incident, a priest allegedly convinced a 7-year-old girl and her parents to sacrifice her by making her sit on a pyre in Belgaum, Karnataka. The police reached the spot of the sacrifice in time and rescued the girl. The priest was arrested.

The incident occurred on Tuesday night in Belgaum, 500 kms from Bangalore. A 35-year-old man, who claims to be a saint, attempted to burn a 7-year-old alive. He allegedly promised the girl that with his powers he would ensure her rebirth on Shiv Ratri.

Based on a tip-off, the police raided the place - Jumjarawada - in Belgaum, just in time to see the pyre ready to sacrifice the girl.

The saint Appaiah admitted to have set the funeral pyre with the help of his 30-year-old devotee to perform the religious proceedings by setting her ablaze and giving her a new birth.

The victim had no knowledge of what was happening to her.

"My parents got me to this ashram. I was in that place for 20 days. I don't know anything," she said.

Police are investigating the case.

It wasn't religion that wanted to burn the girl alive, but someone insane. It's like a chemical reaction between two substances.

So when a Republican says something crazy that is a person not a Republican saying that right?

So I intended for the word 'attempted' to be in the title but I guess this is what happens when you post from a 'handphone'.

Really.

This says the burning event was staged. She was put in a pyre earlier, then before it was set on fire, she was secretly taken away and put in a dungeon for a while. She was smeared with black body paint to look like she was in the char, and was supposed to be "reborn" today in another elaborate hoax.

So, endangering a minor, keeping a kid locked up, all very bad, but still not as sensational as "about to be burned at the stake when cops busted in and rescued her."

I thought god was the guy that kidnapped Elizabeth Smart.

I think some people owe the Hindu religion an apology.
