Doctors at Gandhi Hospital performed a successful operation on a prisoner named Mohd Shaker who is aged 32, who was experiencing severe stomach pain.
Mohd Shaker, who had been placed in judicial remand following a recent case, alerted jail officials to his discomfort.
After an initial examination at the prison hospital, he was transferred to Gandhi Hospital.
Medical scans had revealed the presence of nine nails lodged in his abdomen, a startling discovery for the doctors.
Employing endoscopic techniques the medical team skillfully extracted all the nails from Shaker's stomach.
Authorities at the prison suspect that Shaker may have ingested the nails in an attempt to take his own life.
The reasons behind this are yet to be known officially but so far the prisoner is safe.
