Ahmedabad, September 28: A man has cut-off the tip of his tongue and offered it to appease Goddess Amba in a temple in Meghaninagar area of the city, police said today.
The incident took place yesterday, where 35-year-old Ranveer Singh Baghel, a staunch devotee of Goddess Amba cut off the tip off his tongue and offered it at a temple, they said.
“It was the Goddess who wanted me to offer her my tongue and so I did it, nothing will happen to me,” Baghel, who migrated to the city from Madhya Pradesh 20 years ago told PTI.
When asked about his health, Baghel said that he was fine. He has a firm belief that his tongue would grow back with the grace of the Goddess.
His nephew Suresh said that Baghel had not visited any doctor or taken any medical treatment after chopping off his tongue.
“He had done it at the instance of the Goddess so he is fine. We are having prayers at the temple for him,” Suresh who lives with his uncle at Kismatnagar here said.
No police complaint has been filed against Baghel for his act as it does not fall under cognizable offence, police said.
