A man suffering from a rare medical condition has an arm weighing a mammoth 44lbs - more than the double its normal size. The 25-year-old from Allahabad in India suffers from gigantism , a disease that causes excessive growth of body tissue.
It means he can only walk for 10 minutes without taking a break because his 3st 1lb arm is so heavy - twice the weight of a dachshund.
As a young man Bablu faced severe abuse in his home town and was cruelly dubbed a “devil child” by his neighbours.
He moved to Mumbai to seek proper treatment, but has struggled to find work in the city and continues to face prejudice on a daily basis. The cost of the surgery could be as much as £15,000 - far beyond Bablu’s scope, as he is currently forced to live on the streets as a beggar.
