Arun Vernekar, a young man from Sonarwada in Karwar in Uttara Kannada district in Karnataka accidentally cut off his finger, when trying to collect blood to offer to Goddess Kali as he was offering prayers to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister for a third consecutive third time.

He lost the front portion of his fore finger of his left hand, when he tried to cut its base with a machete. “I wanted to collect some blood, but the force was stronger than I thought and I chopped off a part of my finger. Now, I will consider it as an offering to the Goddess,’‘ he told reporters in Karwar.

After the injury, the finger was still hanging from his hand. He managed to collect the blood and use it to write “Ma Kali Ma Modi Baba Ka Raksha Karo [Ma Kali protect our Modi].
