BHOPAL: A youth in Madhya Pradesh, who had swallowed 263 coins, nails, needles and broken iron chains, was recovering on Sunday after doctors carried out a major surgery on him to remove the objects from his body.

The doctors at a government hospital in Rewa took nearly three hours to remove the foreign objects from his body.

He reportedly had swallowed the objects some six months ago.

“We have removed 263 coins of Rs two, five and 10 denominations as well as nails and broken iron chains from the stomach,” a media report quoted one of the doctors, who operated on him, as saying.

“The coins valued Rs 790. It seems he is mentally deranged. He was in a serious condition when he was admitted to the hospital. He was now showing sign of improvement,” he added.
