Sharp-edged tools extracted from boy’s stomach

Karan, 18, resident of Bhatwa village of Unnao was writhing in pain when he was wheeled into a hospital on Lucknow-Kanpur highway late Saturday. After a scan detected foreign bodies, doctors performed a three-hour marathon surgery only to be left flummoxed by the bizarre weight of sharp-edged iron tools he was carrying in his stomach for two months.
