Gujarat Man Chops Off Own Fingers To Avoid Working As Computer Operator

Mayur Tarapara (32) had earlier told police a story about finding his fingers missing after falling unconscious by the side of a road, though a probe into the chain of events revealed that the harm was self-inflicted, the officials added.

In a bizarre incident, a man chopped off four fingers of his left hand with a sharp knife to make himself unfit for his job as a computer operator at his relative's diamond firm, police in Gujarat's Surat city said on Saturday.

Mayur Tarapara (32) had earlier told police a story about finding his fingers missing after falling unconscious by the side of a road, though a probe into the chain of events revealed that the harm was self-inflicted, the officials added.

In a statement, Surat Crime Branch said Tarapara took this step as he did not have courage to tell his relative that he no longer wanted work at his firm Anabh Gems, located in Varachha Mini Bazaar.
