But for his bad luck, the cloth touched the vehicle chain, dragged into it, decided two fingers of his right hand.
However, thanks to timely action, one finger can be saved after an eight-hour operation by a team of doctors at Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road.

He said high rpm (revolution / rotation per minute) from his new bicycle engine and lack of casing around the chain caused the accident.
“I’ll clean my old bike in the same way, which, however, has a casing around the chain.
After I bought a new bike, during the first service, I was told the chain had to be cleaned.
On that day, I saw a chain rotating faster and wanted to Clean it with a toothbrush.
But when I was late, I decided to clean it with a cloth wrapped around my finger, “Rahul said.

“I want them to cut even my index finger, which is partially disconnected, and let it get well,” he said, adding that his family members and doctors assured him to undergo installation surgery.
Rahul underwent plastic and microvascular surgery – starting at 12:30 a.m.
to 9pm – where arteries, veins, and nerves join using stitches thinner than human hair under the enlarged microscope along with bone fixation, tendons, soft tissue and skin.
However, after two days, the middle finger, which was connected back, began to spin black because of blood supply blockage and in the end it must be removed.
Dr.
Kartik Shrinivas Tallam, Consultant – Plastic Surgery Department, Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road said Rahul was dismissed with plaster and was followed up to dress weekly.
After physiotherapy, he has even started writing now, the doctor added.
