A 10-year-old girl from India's lowest Hindu caste had her fingers
chopped off for stealing a few spinach leaves from the field of an
upper-caste farmer, a news report said Monday.

The attack took place in a village in Bhagalpur district of India's
eastern Bihar state last week, the Hindustan Times newspaper reported.

Khushboo's parents had sent her to look for herbs along a railway track
as they had nothing to eat at home. The girl strayed on to the farm
belonging to Pankaj Rai, an upper-caste villager, and picked a few
leaves, Khushboo's father said.
