Future Shock

"A Hindu priest is hopping mad after thieves drugged him and used a sickle to chop off his right leg, which he claimed had magical powers.

Police are still hunting for the thieves – and the severed leg - in southern India as the 80-year-old priest recovers in hospital from the bizarre assault.

Holy man Yanadi Kondaiah had a reputation around his local village, near the town of Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh State, for using the leg to call on mystical powers which he said allowed him to see into the future."
