Shanti Devi, a 60-year-old woman from Kanpur, is said to be suffering form a mysterious disease which has shrunk her height from 5 feet to 2 feet.

The condition started affecting Shanti after she delivered her third child. It has not only shrunk her but has also made her bones rigid, making it impossible for her to move. Several doctors have failed to diagnose the disease but the local physician suspects it to be brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta).
