A surgery was performed on Sunday to remove the objects.

Dr Amit Kumar, who headed the team of doctors who performed the surgery, said, "The youth was undergoing psychiatric treatment. X-ray reports revealed the presence of metal objects in his stomach.

"Initially, a key ring was removed during the surgery. Later, we extracted two keys, a four-inch-long knife, and two nail cutters from his stomach. When we asked the youth, he said he recently started swallowing metal objects. Now the youth is alright and his condition is improving," the doctor said.

The youth has some mental health issues for which he is on medication, he said.
