As many as 263 coins, shaving blades and iron nails were removed from man's stomach in a rare surgery in Madhya Pradesh.
The 32-year-old Mohammed Maqsood was admitted to Sanjay Gandhi Medical College and Hospital in Rewa on November 18 after he complained of a stomach ache.
However, after conducting tests, the cause behind Maqsood's stomachache was identified.
Maqsood is currently under the observation. According to ANI, doctors say that he will also be given psychiatric help.
"A team of six doctors surgically removed 10-12 shaving blades, four big needles, a chain, 263 coins, besides pieces of glasses," Dr Priyank Sharma told PTI.
"The patient was not in a good frame of mind and it seems he swallowed these objects secretly," Sharma said.
