Odisha: Woman born with 20 toes, 12 fingers, branded a witch, forced to stay indoors

Kumari says that her neighbours believe her to be a witch but there is nothing she can do to change her appearance as she lacks the money to do so. "I was born with this defect and could not be treated because I belong to a poor family. The superstitious residents nearby believe I am a witch and keep away from me," the woman said.
