In a bizarre incident, a woman nurse from Chhattisgarh, who had a wounded in her arm, initially believed that it was just a minor injury from some crackers. However, hours after she first noticed the wound, an X-ray showed that a bullet was lodged in one of her arms.

Reports said that on the New Years eve, the nurse named Jay Laxmi went out for a walk with her husband and suddenly something struck her shoulder. The couple initially thought the strike on her arm may be because of a splinter from the New Year fireworks and she received first aid at her home in Kodagaon.

But on the New Year's day, when she couldn't bear the pain from the wound as it didn't subside during the night, her family took her to a hospital. The doctor conducted an X-ray, and the report shocked her and her attendants. The X-ray showed a bullet was lodged in her arm.

The doctor explained that the bullet had been fired from a very far distance, which is why it had not caused significant harm. The woman is now recovering at the hospital and the police are investigating the incident.
