A man from India's Uttar Pradesh risked his life by swallowing various metal objects, all in a bid to get married.

The mystic ordered Dwivedi to religiously follow his instructions, to which he agreed. As a part of 'treatment', the 'tantric' ordered Dwivedi to eat his mobile phone and battery, keys, sharp wires, glass, and other such objects.
