The story of the woman with 32 fingers: Neighbors Believe I Am a Witch

Kumar Nayak, 63, was born with the genetic defect known as “poldaticly”, but local residents do not understand and think he is a witch.

She rarely leaves her home in Ganjam, Odishi for this reason. To solve this problem, she might have had surgery several years ago, but her family had no money.

For this reason, Kumar has learned to live by listening to negative comments, but mostly stays inside to avoid them.

I am born with this defect and cannot be treated because I have a poor family. It's been 63 years, and neighbors believe I'm a witch and stay away from me. But sometimes visitors come to see my case. I'm forced to stay inside because I'm treated differently”, she said.

Polydacityly affects one in 700 or 1,000 births worldwide, but Kumar is an extreme case.
