Strange Murder Of Student Takes On Ramifications Of Sinister Oriental Mystery
Three Hindu men were held by Solano county authorities as the murder of Sant Ram Pande, UC student, sparked fears of an oriental cult. Pande’s headless body was found chained to a tractor wheel in the Sacramento River near Rio Vista. Ultham Singh, Shajga Singh, and Nagahar Singh were arrested at a Rio Vista ranch barn, where officers found a barrow weighted to match the grisly scene. The investigation links to Kali worship and Thuggees lore, with state records reportedly under armed guard due to Hindu surveillance concerns.
