The liver was taken for treating a childless couple

According to police, a childless couple from the girl's village believed that if the wife ate the liver of the girl, as per some black magic rituals, she would be blessed with a baby. The childless couple had been married since 1999. The couple reportedly paid some money to the two accused for kidnapping the girl and bringing her liver to them so that the occult rituals could be performed.
