Indian boy rescued from life in chains
KOLKATA: Authorities in Indian state of West Bengal rescued a 15-year-old boy tied to a tree for nine years because he used to bite dogs and goats besides gnawing on the feet of relatives and neighbours, officials said on Wednesday.
Rahul Amin Dhali was just six when he first bit a dog in Biramnagar village, 60 kilometres north of Kolkata, the state capital, they said. A few days later he tasted the flesh of a family member.
“We chose to ignore the issue since he was just a child but it turned worse with every passing day,” Rahman Dhali, the boy’s father, told Reuters. Rahul later wandered off in the village and bit a goat grazing in a field before nibbling at the paws of the neighbour’s pet dog, leaving Rahman, a poor farmer, flummoxed. reuters
What could cause this kind of reaction from a 6-years-old? Could he be a vampire?
