According to the doctor, he said that it looks like the man secretly kept swallowing these items. He further said that the patient is not in a good frame of mind and hence he might have enjoyed consuming coins, shaving blades, needles and other objects. However, the coins and blades did not damage any internal organ and hence the patient is completely safe. Khan promised the doctors that he would never do this again.

Almost 6 expert doctors were engaged in removing these objects from Mohammed Maqsood's stomach. The team of doctors removed items weighing close of 5 kg. The items surgically removed from the patients' stomach included 4 big needles, a chain, 263 coins, 10-12 shaving blades and some pieces of glass. The doctor said that this case was shocking and it was the first time when he has seen something like this in his career. One of the doctors said, "The operation was done in the nick of the time as some of the nails lodged had pierced his stomach, caused bleeding and resulting in loss of hemoglobin."

Mohammad Maqsood is currently fine and is under doctor's observation. Reports suggest that Mohammad was earlier treated for 6 months in Satna before he was brought to Rewa for the treatment. News also suggests that the items recovered from his stomach were almost 6 months old, which means the man has been swallowing these objects for a long period of time.
