Blood-drinking robber nabbed

Paging Inspector LeGrasse. Inspector LeGrasse to the white courtesy phone please. From Mid-day.com of Mumbai, India:

He didn’t just loot homes, but also drank blood. Depending on his booty, the robber sacrificed animals before a deity, drank its blood and even feasted on its meat. This, he believes, keeps the gods happy. This is what 33-year-old Suresh alias Surya Baburao Shinde, leader of a robber gang, said in his confession to the anti-robbery cell police of Mumbai’s crime branch. snip The police have filed nearly 30 cases of against Shinde, including robbery and attempt to murder. Shinde was released from Arthur Road jail in 1997, after serving a five-year term for the murder of two constables and a watchman during a robbery in Santacruz.

I'm no crime expert, but a five-year term for the murder of two constables and a watchman does not seem like a long enough sentence.
