DALIT GIRL'S FINGERS CUT-OFF

HER CRIME - STEALING SPINACH

No, this didn't happen under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan but in very democratic Bihar where attrocities are on the rise . What can be more painful than this news from Bhagalpur.....a five year old girl Khusbu Kumari was simply plucking spinach at Bhavnathpur-Baijar village when the farmer caught her, assaulted her and then cut her four fingers and thumb.
Khushbu has been taken to Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Hospital but her life will never be the same again.
A case has been registered with the Akbar Nagar police station but so far no arrests and the farmer Pankaj Rai is absconding.
