An old woman accused of being a witch is fighting for her life after her tongue was allegedly cut out by angry villagers. The 70-year-old was said to have been beaten with blunt instruments, leaving her with severe injuries.
The incident reportedly occurred in the village of Rediya in Rohtas District in India’s Bihar State.
According to local media, the woman was sleeping with her granddaughter when she was allegedly attacked by villagers and held at gunpoint.
Reports said that part of her tongue was chopped off and was rushed to hospital.
