Bengaluru, Jan11: A businessman cut off one of his fingers as a gesture of thanks to the gods after India’s opposition leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi were granted bail in a court case.
A report said on Sunday that Induvalu Suresh, 35, hacked off his little finger last month before wrapping it in a rupee note and dropping it in a Hindu temple donation box in the country’s south.
The owner of a granite business, from Ramanagara near the southern city of Bangalore, said he had vowed to make the unusual gesture of gratitude if the mother-son duo of the famed Gandhi dynasty were given bail.
