Family of a nine-month-old boy in Tajikistan was horrified when X-ray of the boy revealed ten needles were stuck in his skull, nose, legs, neck, and chest. The infant who is fighting for his life, was rushed to hospital by his mother after she first discovered a needle in his gums, according to Daily Mail report.
Doctors said the baby boy, Mudassir Karimov, could not have ingested the needles by accident, and the family fear relatives or a carer to be behind the horrifying act. The family said that the needles might have been inserted in the boy's body to 'ward off evil spirits'.
Surgeons at the Karabolo Hospital in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe who operated upon the boy were able to remove six of the needles. "The needles were not new. They had been inside the body for sometime and have already rusted," said head doctor Shukhrat Choriev. The surgeon added, "We have not touched the needles in the skull and stomach, as the surgery would have taken too long."
The needles included two sewing machine needles while the child's grandmother, Makhfirat Khasanova, said the needle pulled from the boy's gums 'did not have a sharp end but had an eye'. Dr Choriev added that last year a boy in neighbouring Uzbekistandied after 16 needles were found embedded in his body. "Our job is to remove the needles. The police will decide how it happened," a hospital source said.
