19 year old college student Aarti Dubey had a dream.

A dream to cut off her tongue and offer it to Goddess Kali.

In exchange, she dreamt, the goddess would give her anything she wanted. And that’s exactly what the TRS Colleg undergrad student did.

Her brother Sachin told Mail Online that he never thought Aarti would actually cut her tongue off. "I have heard about incidents of illiterate and superstitious people offering their body parts to appease the gods. I never thought that my own college-going sister could be so superstitious."

Aarti visited the local Kali temple in Reeva, Madhya Pradesh, and when she cut off her tongue, the temple priest and devotees didn’t have the common sense to rush her to a doctor. Instead, they prayed for her. Then, the girl got up, completed her rituals, all with a smile on her face.

Which sounds exactly like something the Joker would do to his victims - use a knife to put a smile on someone's face.

"I was right there when the girl cut off her tongue and offered it to the deity. The goddess is the almighty and she always protects her devotees," said priest Devi Prasad Sharma.
