SELFLESS Mannan Mondal, known as the 'melted man' of
Delhi, has turned down radical reconstructive surgery - so he can continue
begging to pay for his beloved daughter's wedding.
The 50-year-old, who suffers
from a type of neurofibromatosis, relies on his shocking appearance to make a
living. And despite Indian surgeons offering him the hope of a new face, he has
turned it down so he can fund 20-year-old Rasheeda's big day. Mannan, who has
no formal education, was born in Kolkata, West Bengal. He was born with severe
facial deformities and is missing an eye socket, an ear and most of his teeth -
and has been shunned his entire life. He has been out on the streets most of
his life and takes home the equivalent of £5 a day. At 18 he found love and now
has four children. He travels India attending holy sites to beg at before
returning home with his funds to give to his family. Despite his shocking
appearance, the tumours growing on his face are not cancerous or painful.
