A junior scientist of Defense Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) here escaped an alleged attempt of human sacrifice by two of his seniors, scientist's wife has alleged in a police complaint here.

My husband escaped unhurt after two of his seniors amid chanting of "mantras" allegedly made a futile bid to "sacrifice" him three days ago, junior scientist Sushil Kumar Mishra's wife Shridha Sharma told police in her complaint lodged yesterday, a top official said today.

Shridha told police that senior scientist of DRDE, M Kameshwar Rao rang up her husband and called him to his place at the DRDE's Raksha Vihar colony in the late of October 6 night saying he was not feeling well, additional superintendent of police (West Region) Manohar Verma told PTI.

When Sharma reached Rao's residence, he saw another senior scientist Dr ASSV Bhaskar doing some puja, the complaint stated, adding that Bhaskar asked Sharma to wait for a while as he has some work with him, Verma said.

While waiting, Sharma dozed off and woke up when some water was sprinkled over him. My husband turned panicky when two of his seniors holding sharped-edged weapons drew closer to him reciting some "mantras", Shridha's complaint siad, the ASP said.   

When Sharma tried to flee, the two senior scientists got hold of him and a scuffle ensued. In the meantime, Sharma raised an alarm, following which the colony's watchman appeared on the spot and taking advantage of this, my husband escaped, the complaint said.

Shridha's complain stated that VN Bhardwaj, Santosh, Keshav Soni and other occupants of the colony had seen her husband escaping.

When the police asked Shridha about the delay in approaching them, she told them that the two scientists had threatened her of dire consequences if she informs police about it, sources said. Police have begun investigations into the complaint, Varma said, adding that they will go by the book.
