No mention of whether Kali was involved

India: A woman has been arrested in Haveli for allegedly sacrificing a five-year-old child. The accused, who has apparently confessed to garotting the young girl, has been unable to conceive a child of her own and thought that killing the child would help her do so:

The police said that they decided to question Laxmi after they found her movements suspicious. Laxmi later confessed that she had committed the crime as she believed that Mayuri would take rebirth in her residence.
