Attackers Chop Off Man's 'Magic' Leg
Indian Police Searching for Attackers Who Chopped Off Holy Man's 'Magical' LegThe Associated Press By

Share Two men attacked an 80-year-old, self-proclaimed holy man in southern India and chopped off his right leg, apparently believing it had magical powers, police said Thursday.

Yanadi Kondaiah, who claimed that those who touched his leg would be cured of illness or have wishes granted, was hospitalized in serious condition after the attack Tuesday, said R. Ravindranath Reddy, a senior police officer.

"We are looking for the miscreants as well as the leg," Reddy told The Associated Press by telephone from the Chittoor district, a remote area 340 miles south of Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.

"This seems to be a case of superstition. The two people might have taken away the leg hoping to benefit from its magical powers," said Pendakanti Dastgiri, the police officer handling the case.

The greed of savages is an illness that cannot be cured.

This is very sad. He must have suffered terribly. In some countries men cut off the body parts of animals for virility, hands of gorillas are used for ashtrays, and a dog's penis is considered to be a powerful aphrodesiac. It's not a complete shock that a man's leg would be amputated so violently. Obviously, they didn't realize that, if he did have healing powers, they were from his soul and spirit as well.

It's a shame what belief systems make people do. Atleast he can still get a job at IHOP.
