The 56-year-old railway employee has 75 stationery pins embedded deep under the skin of his neck, forearms and legs, a case doctors are finding it hard to pin down.

There are no visible marks to suggest the inch-long pins were pierced into his skin; either by him or someone else.

And the man from Barda village in Bundi district doesn’t know how he got them.

Meena’s condition was detected at a private hospital in Kota this April when he went there to treat his aching right foot and diabetes.
