her two-year-old daughter’s scalp.

Dablu after he heard her screams .He was
horrified to find sister-in-law Pramila, 40, cutting
the toddler’s head and eating her flesh.He
snatched away the terrified tot and rushed her to
a local hospital where she was treated for her
injuries at a critical care unit.
‘It was around noon and I was resting at
home when I heard loud cries of Bharati,’I
ran to check on her but there the scene I saw
was beyond shockingBharati was bleeding
profusely as Pramila was eating the flesh of
her head. I immediately snatched away
Bharati from Pramila and rushed her to
Malda Medical College and Hospital where
she is admitted to ICU.’
As the news of the grisly attack spread, angry
locals gathered at her house before tying up
Mondal with ropes and beating her. The mother-
of-three, who has an alcohol problem, confessed
to the mob but was unable to explain her
actions.
She was only saved when sister-in-law Mamta
Mandal, 36, called the police who dispersed the
angry mob.
Police inspector Kishna Das said Dablu Mondal,
who lived next door to Pramila, was alerted by
the child’s screams on Wednesday.
‘He there saw Pramila eating the flesh of
Bharati’s head. Soon villagers learnt about
the incident and reached Pramila’s house and
started beating her in anger. ‘We rescued the
woman and sent her to hospital.’
Bharati is being cared for by doctors at the Malda
Medical College and Hospital while arrangements
are made to transfer her to a better equipped
hospital in Kolkata.

work to work as a laborer last year but has not
been seen since. The couple have two other
children Parbati, eight, and son Swarna, two.
