Chicken and rice ends thief's toilet trauma
KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - Dozens of bananas failed to do
the trick but an Indian thief has finally produced a gold
necklace he had snatched and then swallowed after police fed
him a hearty meal of chicken, rice and local bread.
Sheikh Mohsin, 35, grabbed the 45,000-rupee ($1,115)
necklace from a woman in the eastern city of Kolkata Friday and
popped it into his mouth when cornered by police.
Officers then fed him 40 bananas over a few hours believing
they would act as a purgative, and sat back and waited for
results.
Mohsin passed an uncomfortable night in jail, but not the
piece of jewelry.
Police said Sunday he was then given more substantial fare.
