Retrieving the Evidence

At least he got a meal out of it.

An Indian suspect was forced by police to eat 50 bananas as a laxative, to retrieve a necklace he was accused of stealing and swallowing.

When the bananas failed to produce the desired effect, police fed Sheikh Mohsin rice, chicken and local bread.

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

[...]

A sweeper was paid to retrieve the exhibit from the toilet. Mr Mohsin was asked to wash it.
