Cops go Bananas over Jewel thief but Chicken & Rice help

Here is a thief from Kolkata city in West Bengal state of India who snatched a gold necklace worth US $11,00 from a woman as she shopped for toys & when cornered by police, he swallowed the necklace.

Police then thought of an ingenious way to retrieve the gold necklace swallowed by the thief - by making him gorge on bananas till he emitted it the natural way.

Mohsin alias Jainal has been made to swallow 36 bananas but the police had not been able to recover the precious piece of jewellery. Not willing to give up, they placed orders for more bananas. But when bananas could not do their job, police fed Mohsin rice, chicken and local bread, reported the BBC.

Finally the necklace, which appeared on an X-ray taken on the suspect, was excreted and retrieved.

Mohsin had snatched the gold chain worth Indian Rs.45,000 (US $11,00) from Kiran Bahari, a resident of Lower Rawdon Street in central Kolkata. But he was caught by residents and handed over to the police.

A trader in the vicinity said he had seen Mohsin popping the chain into his mouth.
