Hyderabad: Two men chopped off the right leg of a self-proclaimed holy man believing that it had magical power. The holy man claimed that his leg has magical power and whoever touches it will be cured of whatever illness or have their wishes granted.
The two men posed as appreciative followers who offered him drinks in appreciation of his help with the magic touch. Once he passed out, they chopped of his right leg.
Currently, police is looking for the two men and the ‘magical’ right leg. The chances of finding the leg is slim in this superstitious country. Superstitions and belief in magic is widespread in rural India.

I am speechless. I thought only Aesop can thinking of ‘Goose that lays the golden eggs’ fable. Now, in India, you have the holy man with magical leg. I rest my case. Only in India can you find this sort of news.
