Vijay Chauhan, a resident of Bopara village in Muzaffarnagar went to see a doctor for his abdominal pain. Speaking on the case, surgeon Dr. Rakesh Khurana said, ¡°During inspection, we suspected the presence of some foreign material in his stomach and recommended surgery," Hindustan Times reported.

The doctor added, ¡°When the patient returned to the hospital with severe pain, a re-examination confirmed the presence of a spoon-like material. On Sunday, we took out 63 headless spoons from his stomach and one from his intestine. It is the first such case I have come across.¡±

Doctors also informed that Vijay is a drug addict and he was undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation centre in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh for the past seven months. The reason for swallowing spoons has been unclear so far because, according to doctors, the patient has been giving uncertain and different answers when asked about it many times. " He once told us that the staffers at the rehabilitation centre forced him to swallow spoons. The other time, he confessed to swallowing spoons at his own will," the doctor said.

Making this already bizarre case, more bizarre, it is noticed that all the heads of all the spoons were removed before consumption. According to reports, as of now, no police complaint has been filed in the matter. The doctors said they cannot say with certainty when the patient had consumed these spoons.

The team of doctors from Meerut also highlighted that the patient is now stable and will be released from the hospital in a couple of days.
