This reminds me of a Ripley's Believe it or Not show here in the USA I recently watched with my son.

In it, an investigative reporter exposed a cult/tribe within Hinduism wherein they eat the flesh of the dead. Apparently, certain Hindus burn their dead on the shore of a river (I forgot the name of the river). And this cult/tribe is situated right on this shore/village. Every so often, male members of this cult/tribe sneek up to the burning corpse and remove portions of it when no one is looking (usually at night). They take these pieces of burning human flesh a distance to some spot they like and then eat the flesh in some ritual. Apparently younger men become drunk before doing this.

The video footage showed these flesheaters bowing down without using their hands to bite pieces of the flesh. They are painted and wearing some colored ceremonial robe.

The report said locals in the area are afraid of this cult/tribe because they are known to cast spells on those who stop them.

Just wanted to share that tidbit morsel of info from Ripley's Believe it or Not!
