Indian boy is stripped, hung upside down and beaten to death in front of his parents at Indian village 'court' for stealing a packet of buscuits

A 12 year old Indian boy was stripped, hanged upside down and beaten to death in front of his parents after he admitted stealing a packet of biscuits at a hurriedly convened village court.

Chhotu Kumar was one of two youngsters accused of stealing from a shop in Thadi village.

According to Gulf News, reports said their parents begged the court to forgive them when their children's condition had deteriorated.

But the court refused to stop unless they paid a fine of 10,000 Rupees (£100) immediately which the parents said they were unable to do for two days because they were so poor.
