Calcutta, India - Police in India forced a man to eat 50 bananas as a laxative after he was accused of stealing a necklace and then swallowing it.
After the bananas did not work as intended, police fed him rice, chicken and bread, the BBC reported.
The necklace, which had appeared on an X-ray, finally was excreted and retrieved.
He was accused of stealing the $1,100 necklace from a woman as she shopped for toys. He is set to appear in court Monday in Calcutta and could face a prison sentence.
