40 knives? I don't know how could somebody even think of this. Is the man having some supernatural powers or what? This is no less than a wonder. 

A knife or even its smallest tip can hurt us when touched externally. Imagine what it would do when swallowed. 

Read this story to know the whole incident.

Doctors carried out a surgery for removing these knives

“We were so nervous… a small mistake could have taken the patient’s life. In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it.”

The knives were foldable. When extended they measured 7 inches.

The man belongs to Amritsar, India

He had been swallowing knives since 2 months. He is aged 42 and a father of 2 children.

This sounds scary (Victim's x-ray)

Imagine the courage gathered on doctors’ part.

The man had a strange habit of consuming metals says Dr. Jatinder Malhotra

“He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening.”

Doctors took 2 days to plan the diagnosis and surgery. The operation lasted for 5 hours.

Patient says

“I don’t know why I used to swallow knives, I just enjoyed its taste and I was addicted. How people get addicted to alcohol and other things, my situation was similar.” 

Shocking isn’t it?
