Indian girl cries tears of blood

A girl has become a holy shrine in India where worshippers watch her cry blood instead of tears.

Doctors in Patna, north-east India, have been stumped by Rashida Khatoon's condition, which causes her to shed tears of blood several times a day. But local Hindu holy men have declared her a miracle.



And followers now flock to her home, showering her and her family with gifts as holy offerings.

Rashida said: "I do not feel any pain when it happens but it's a shock to see blood instead of water."
