I love Indian English, but I had no idea that a once-famous American tabloid figure from the Nineties had entered the language in the sub-continent. This is from The Times of India (a much better-read than its NY namesake):
BANGALORE: When Mir Arshad Ali, 33, jilted his lover of nine years and married another woman six months ago, he did not think it would cost him more than his happiness. He almost lost his life when the furious woman lured him and bobbitised him neatly.
Ali should have known better than to scorn a woman, though she also took him to hospital and left him to his fate.
