Chhattisgarh Man Dies After Swallowing Live Chick; Bird Survives

In a strange incident, a 35-year-old man from Chhattisgarh suffocated to death after allegedly swallowing a live chicken chick. Villagers believe the act was linked to ‘tantra-mantra’ (occult practices) aimed at fulfilling his desire to become a father.

The incident, reported from Ambikapur, shocked doctors during the post-mortem, as they discovered the chick still alive inside the man’s body.

The man, identified as Anand Yadav, a resident of Chhindkalo village, was brought to the Medical College Hospital in Ambikapur after he collapsed at home. Family members stated that he felt dizzy and fainted after returning from a bath.

When doctors performed the autopsy, the cause of death initially remained unclear. However, upon making an incision near his throat, they discovered a fully alive chick lodged within.

Chhattisgarh Man’s Death Linked to Occult Practices

Dr Santu Bag, who conducted the post-mortem, revealed that the chick, approximately 20 cm in length, was stuck in such a manner that it obstructed both the airway and the food passage, likely causing asphyxiation.

“This is the first time I have encountered such a case in my career, having conducted over 15,000 post-mortems. The findings shocked us all,” Bag said.

Villagers have speculated that Anand’s actions might have been influenced by superstitious beliefs as he was in touch with a local ‘tantrik’ (Occultist). According to some residents, Anand was struggling with infertility and may have swallowed the live chick as part of a ritual linked to occult practices in hopes of becoming a father.

Local police have been informed about the incident, and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to the tragedy.
