Bengaluru: A man has claimed that he chopped off his left hand's little finger and offered it at Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh as a "token of gratitude" after Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were granted bail in the National Herald case.

Suresh said he had been to Tirupati on December 25 last year and "chopped off" his little finger and dropped it in the temple's hundi (donation box).
