Mumbai cops have chalked up another success for their preferred method of retrieving swallowed stolen goods: obliging the thief to eat bananas until the booty is expelled.
According to the Hindustan Times, one Gopi R Ghaware was cuffed last Wednesday after snatching a 25g gold chain from a woman in a fish market in the east of city.
The 25-year-old required medical treatment after locals gave chase, apprehended the perp and "hammered" him, as the paper nicely describes it. A police patrol intervened and whisked Ghaware to hospital, where two X-rays showed he'd scoffed the chain.
