| Mumbai police force-feed thief dozens of bananas |
| 2016-01-12 |
| [CHANNELNEWSASIA] Indian police successfully deployed an unusual technique to retrieve a gold chain that a thief had swallowed while officers were in hot pursuit - they force-fed him more than 40 bananas. The man denied snatching the chain from a woman in the street in Mumbai and swallowed it in a desperate bid to conceal his crime last week, but hospital X-rays suggested otherwise. Police in the western Indian city administered an enema which failed to yield the desired result. Doctors said an operation would be the best way forward, but coppers decided it would be too expensive and opted instead for the bananas. "He was fed more than 40 bananas throughout the day," Mumbai police Senior Inspector Shankar Dhanavade told AFP. "Eventually the chain was found. We made him wash and disinfect it," the policeman added. The 25-year-old man appeared in court on Friday and is in police custody, said Dhanavade. According to reports, it was not the first time Mumbai police had turned to the fruit in order to recover a stolen item. In July last year a chain was retrieved after a thief was made to eat two dozen bananas and drink several litres of milk laced with laxatives, the Hindustan Times reported. Months earlier in April, a thief was fed five dozen bananas after swallowing a gold chain with a large pendant. The thief successfully excreted the loot. But the disgusted victim refused to touch it and instead took it to a jeweller in a plastic bag, the newspaper said. |

| #5 Not too sharp lately... maybe a slightly topical orphan or two? The strange case of Stubblefield, Anna: "He's too straight and white, yet I wanna Have sex and get married. Our backgrounds are varied, But still, I am fruit for Banana!" At L'Osservatore Romano The staff are all singing soprano, So: "Viene, Befana, Bring eggs and banana! Our bosses are down at the bagno." And totally OT, but I was kinda proud of it... Were all of us Milo Yiannopoulos The world might not be quite as populous, And rather than Twitter, We'd gather and titter On top of Obama's Acropolis. |

| #3 Who coughs it up quickest? The heavers! And surgeons aren't slouches with cleavers; But patient old Hindoos Just forcefeed their dindus A buttload of golden retrievers. |
