During a scan, doctors found a ball-like object in her stomach and then, the doctor decided to remove it by endoscopy, hospital chairman V G Mohanprasad said.

But when the Surgeon Gokul Kripashankar along with his team failed to remove the foreign particles via endoscopy, they decided to conduct the surgery and successfully extracted the hair and the empty shampoo packets from her stomach.

The girl had reportedly started to consume the objects after being upset due to the death of a close relative, which accumulated in the stomach and caused frequent pain.
