A man ate 40 knives in two months in Amritsar in Punjab because "he felt like eating them".
The matter came to light when he went to the doctor complaining of low appetite, weight loss and stomach pains.
A 5-member team conducted a 5-hour surgery on Sunday to remove the metal from his body. The man is now stable.
