A man has been left blind after an angry mob of villagers caught him stealing a cow and injected acid into his eyeball as punishment.

The known animal thief is now completely without sight after a his other eye was injured in an identical incident five years ago.

The incident took place at a remote village in the north-east Indian state of Bihar last week.


Symbolic: Cows are regarded sacred by Hindus, who make up about 80 percent of India’s 960 million people, because they represent motherhood

According to local reports, Mohammad Shahid, 46 from Balchanda-Haripur village in the largely Muslim Araria district, broke into the cowshed of another villager Gosai Mandal.

He untied the animal and was fleeing the scene when the house owner woke up and raised an alarm.

After being woke by the disturbance, local villagers chased Shahid and found him with the cow nearby.

It is alleged the crowd beat him while a syringe full of acid was fetched and injected it into his right eyeball.

After the attack, he was handed over to the local police who admitted him to a local government hospital for treatment.

Local police inspector Vivekanand Singh said his officers are now investigating the villagers who are accused of ‘inflicting inhumane treatment’.

Speaking of the victim, Singh added: ‘For similar charges, he was sent to jail in the past but he did not quit his old habit even after coming out of jail’
