A man has miraculously survived despite being shot three times near his heart with a bow and arrow. Mansiya Marai 24, was allegedly shot with the tribal bow and arrow by his older brother Tala Marai during an argument over property on Friday. One of the spears pierced his abdomen injuring his intestines, another pierced his chest narrowly missing his heart and ended up in his stomach and the third went through his hand. He was forced to travel 155 miles across India to a hospital where he underwent four-and-a-half hours in surgery. Mansiya, who is part of a tribal community, is recovering in hospital and local sources say police plan to arrest his brother for attempted murder. Dr Manish Kaushal, who operated on Mansiya at Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital, said: ‘We were shocked to see the patient when he arrived at the hospital with arrows lodged in his chest and abdomen. ‘Luckily, the patient or their relatives didn’t try to pull out the two arrows that had gone deep inside his body. Any attempt of pulling out the arrows would have ruptured the intestines or injured other vital organs. ‘We are happy to inform that operation has been successful and the patient’s life is out of danger.’ Locals claim he was shot in the village of Alirajpur where the pair allegedly had a drunken fall out over a long-running property dispute. He was initially taken to a local hospital in a three-wheeler rickshaw, and then on to a hospital in Indore via ambulance. Mansiya pulled the arrow out of his hand while doctors were preparing for the operation. Tala has reportedly had a criminal case filed against him for attempt to murder but no arrests have been made as of yet. | Metro News
