25 Year Old Lady Shrinks to 2 Feet Tall Due To Rare Health Condition That Leaves Limbs Bent

Kunti Kumari, a 25 year old Indian woman with a rare condition has shrunk to about 2 feet as a result of a disease that makes her limbs shrink and bend. She spends her day lying on a cot, chatting with her mother and staring at the ceiling. She has been bedridden for the past 8 years.

Her mother Tilakwa Devi, 60, can't stop weeping seeing her youngest daughter's condition that she says makes her look like a 'corpse'.

"She was a normal girl with healthy limbs but when she turned a teenager, her bones started weakening and she struggled to walk. She would limp a little but gradually she lost all strength and started shrinking," said Devi.

Indian Girl Dies After Rape, Being Set on Fire

An Indian girl reportedly died in a hospital on Wednesday after being raped by three men the night before, then set on fire, according to several news reports.

The girl, aged 13 or 14 and from a village in the northern state Uttar Pradesh, had sustained burns covering 80% of her body, the Times of India reports.

The girl’s family told police she was returning from a farm with her older sister when three villagers dragged her away and raped her. When she said she would tell others in the village, her attackers set her on fire. By the time the girl’s sister had returned with help, the girl was severely burned.

Indian College Student Kidnapped & Raped For 17 MONTHS

An Indian student says she was kidnapped, tortured and repeatedly raped by a canteen owner for 17 months after he drugged her food at college. The 20-year-old disappeared from her home in Hyderabad in April, 2012, and only managed to escape this month. 

News of the kidnap has sparked protests on the streets of Hyderabad and more than 15,000 people have joined an online campaign in support of the girl. Satyaprakash Singh, owner of a canteen at TRR College, has been arrested.

The case will be heard under the stricter laws of the Nirbhaya act, which was introduced this year following the gang rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi.

Six-Year-Old Indian Rape Victim Forced To MARRY 8-Year-Old Son Of Alleged Attacker

A six-year-old Indian girl who was locked in a room and raped is being forced to marry the eight-year-old son of her alleged attacker. The 40-year-old attacked the victim, who lives in the village of Keshavpura, in Rajasthan, around two weeks ago, it is claimed. Instead of going to police, her family complained to council elders who held a meeting to decide what should happen to the alleged rapist.

Astonishingly, they then told the girl's parents that their daughter must marry her attacker's eight-year-old son. Meanwhile, the girl is believed to have been raped by the same man again on Wednesday, according to NDTV.

The victim's family has refused to accept the elders' decision. The case is the latest in a string of horrific sexual assaults on women and young girls in India, including a fatal attack on a 23-year-old medical student in Delhi late last year and the rape of a photojournalist in Mumbai last month.

Indian doctors declared Wednesday that a pair of formerly conjoined twins, born in Nigeria, were healthy and happy after they were successfully separated in a marathon “nerve-wracking” operation in India by a team of 40 specialists.

The one-year-old girls, sporting matching bright pink dresses, sat patiently on their parents’ laps as doctors explained the separation last month during an 18-hour operation at a New Delhi hospital.

“They were fused at their back when they came to us which is very rare,” paediatric surgeon Prashant Jain told AFP.

“Usually the twins are joined in the head or the upper body. It posed a huge challenge to our team of doctors,” Jain said.

PHOTO: Indian Man Shows Off His Swag In N34m GOLD Shirt!

An Indian businessman, Datta Phuge has paid £162,000 for a shirt made out of gold. The monster weighs in at 3kg (7 lbs), and could hardly be called understated. Best part - Whenever Phuge wears his £162,000 gold shirt, he has to be accompanied by a security guard!!

Phuge, nicknamed 'the gold man',  has a passion for gold. And he also wears chunky necklaces, rings and bracelets of his favourite metal along with the shirt - which must hamper his ability to do just-about anything. 

Traditionally in India wearing gold is a sign of wealth, so each time his property and money-lending company makes a profit Phuge buys himself some more gold. He says a gold mobile phone and shoes are next on his wish list.
