Swallowed toothbrush retrieved without surgery successfully at Manipal Hospital Mukundapur
New Delhi, 17th June 2025: In a rare and possibly fatal emergency in the early hours of 24th May, a 37-year-old female was admitted to Manipal Hospital Mukundapur, part of Manipal Hospitals – Eastern India’s one of the largest hospital chains at 2:00 AM with accidental swallowing of a toothbrush. Dr. Sanjoy Basu, Senior Consultant – Gastroenterology, Manipal Hospital – Mukundapur, who performed the emergency procedure timely with his team, extracted the object from the stomach of the patient through a high-risk endoscopic procedure.
She was experiencing breathlessness and chest pain, prompting immediate medical evaluation. Although a chest X-ray was done as per standard emergency protocol, the plastic toothbrush was not visible on the scan. Dr. Basu reached the hospital at 3:00 AM and conducted an emergency upper GI endoscopy, where the toothbrush was found lodged deep in the stomach.
While sharing the details, Dr. Sanjoy Basu said, “This was a high-risk situation. A long foreign object like a toothbrush, if left inside the stomach, can cause serious internal injuries—perforation of the stomach lining, bleeding, or complete obstruction of the digestive tract. Unlike smaller ingested items or cases where objects are stuck in the esophagus, the challenge here was that the toothbrush had traveled all the way down to the stomach. Endoscopically retrieving it from that depth without causing trauma required extreme precision. At one point, while pulling it out, it got stuck again at the upper food pipe. With controlled manual intervention and careful head extension, we managed to bring it out safely. Each step had to be calculated—we were racing against time to prevent the need for surgery.”
Using a snare inserted through the endoscope, the team carefully maneuvered the toothbrush back up the food pipe. With the patient’s head extended and under strict monitoring, the object was finally removed manually through the mouth. The entire procedure took about 45 minutes and was completed by 5:00 AM. The patient was discharged in stable condition later the same day.

Himmat Singh Returns: Special Ops 2 Streams July 11 on JioHotstar
Mumbai, June 16th, 2025 – When the enemy hides behind screens and strikes without a sound, only one man can decode the chaos – Himmat Singh. JioHotstar unveiled the explosive trailer of Special Ops Season 2, reigniting the nation’s love for high-stakes storytelling that blends real-world relevance with blockbuster intensity. With Kay Kay Menon reprising his iconic role as R&AW officer Himmat Singh, the new season promises a deeper, darker, and more urgent mission than ever before.
Set in a volatile geopolitical landscape, Special Ops 2 mirrors the heightened security anxieties of our times where wars are no longer fought solely on battlegrounds, but in the cloud, and the enemy is embedded in everyday life. As coordinated cyber breaches threaten national stability, Himmat and his elite squad are thrust into a silent war, one without warning, smoke, or visible scars, but with consequences that strike at the very soul of the nation.
With his trusted team by his side, Himmat races against time to stop a faceless adversary one who plays by no rules, leaves no trace, and is always one step ahead. Featuring a fresh new antagonist portrayed by Tahir Raj Bhasin, and powered by a global scale, layered intrigue, and razor-sharp performances, Special Ops Season 2 sets the stage for a gripping July 11 release. This time, the battlefield is everywhere!
Alok Jain, Head of Cluster, Entertainment (Colors, Digital Hindi, Niche, Movies and Studio), JioStar, said, “With Special Ops 2, we continue our commitment to delivering sharp, genre-defining storytelling that is bold, disruptive, and deeply meaningful. This season isn’t just the return of an iconic franchise — it’s a timely, cinematic response to cyber threats and the complex digital battleground that surrounds us today. At JioHotstar, we’re focused on bringing impactful narratives that matter — stories that resonate with audiences and reflect the world we live in.”
Creator Neeraj Pandey said, “This season reflects the times we live in, where the enemy doesn’t announce their arrival. We wanted to explore how new-age warfare has altered everything we know about threat, security, and sacrifice. Special Ops 2 is about the war we don’t see, until it hits home. It’s a reminder that in today’s world, the greatest battles are fought without a single bullet fired, but the damage runs just as deep”
“Special Ops 2 is more than just a high-octane thriller, it’s a cultural pulse check. In a time when digital threats feel closer than ever, this story captures the urgency of the moment while delivering edge-of-the-seat entertainment. For us, it’s not just about creating buzz it’s about starting conversations that matter” said, Sushant Sreeram, Head of SVOD Business and CMO, JioStar.
Versatile Actor Kay Kay Menon who is portraying the iconic character of Himmat Singh said, “Himmat Singh has always fought with grit, intellect, and instinct. But this time, the war isn’t visible. The stakes are bigger, the threats more unpredictable and that made this season both relevant and deeply personal to portray. There’s a quiet burden Himmat carries of duty, of sacrifice, of knowing more than he can say. This chapter allowed me to explore not just the strategist, but the man behind the mission, the father, the patriot, the constant protector.
Vinay Pathak, Actor – Abbas Sheikh, “The danger in Special Ops 2 doesn’t come with explosions, it creeps in through the everyday. That’s what makes this season so powerful. It shows us how vulnerable we really are in a hyperconnected world. As an actor, portraying Abbas again felt like coming home but with higher stakes. Balancing his wit with the weight of what’s at risk this time made the journey all the more meaningful.”
Karan Tacker, Farooq Ali, “Farooq has evolved and so has the mission. This season forced us to think beyond guns and disguises. The tension lies in not knowing where the next hit will come from because the enemy is invisible. I’m incredibly proud to be back, and grateful to Neeraj Pandey and JioHotstar for pushing the boundaries of Indian storytelling with such fearless ambition.”
Tahir Raj Bashin, Antagonist” As a fan first, stepping into the world of Special Ops has been both thrilling and humbling. This role pushed me emotionally and physically, and I’m grateful to Neeraj Pandey and JioHotstar for the trust. Speaking of the character, what makes this antagonist terrifying is how believable he is. He doesn’t need guns, he uses code, data, and people’s blind trust. That’s what makes him truly dangerous: he doesn’t belong to fiction, he exists in the world we live in today”.
The war is silent, the danger is real, and the clock is ticking. Watch Special Ops 2 unfold on JioHotstar — streaming from July 11
