In 2014, CNN reported the story of an Indian child who was kidnapped and buried alive by her two neighbours, who had told the unnamed six-year-old that her mother had asked them to take her to a fair in a local village.

As they took the girl away from her home, the neighbours - a married couple - came to a sugar cane field, where they tried to strangle their young victim. Fortunately, a handful of villagers had seen the trio enter the sugar cane field, and when they spotted the neighbours emerging without the little girl, they decided to investigate.

Here, the villagers were met with an awful sight: the girl was buried in a small pit in the middle of the field. Thankfully, she was alive, and she was rushed to a nearby hospital where she eventually regained consciousness.

Exactly why the neighbours did this is not clear, and to add to the confusion, the girl did not even remember being buried. However, she did identify the neighbours as suspects after viewing their photographs.
