The incident took place on the intervening night of Friday-Saturday following which police arrested the child's father, mother and aunt.
The parents of a five-year-old girl allegedly beat her to death while performing 'black magic' on her to drive away evil forces in Maharashtra's Nagpur city, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place on the intervening night of Friday-Saturday following which police arrested the child's father Siddharth Chimne (45), mother Ranjana (42) and aunt Priya Bansod (32), they said.
Chimne, a Subhash Nagar resident who runs a local news channel on YouTube, had gone to a dargah in Takalghat area along with his wife and two daughters - aged 5 and 16 - on Guru Purnima last month, a senior police official said.
Since then, the man suspected behavioural changes in his younger daughter. He believed she was under the influence of some evil forces and decided to perform 'black magic' to drive them away, the official said.
