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.

In the end, it took more than 50 bananas….

Long story short: The necklace was rescued: “A sweeper was paid to retrieve the exhibit from the toilet. Mr Mohsin was asked to wash it.”
“Sweeper” is a euphemism for “Untouchable”, but that word has been outlawed for several years now, in favour of Dalit so all the shit diggers and the shit carriers have been promoted to Sweepers. They have to provide their own brooms, naturally…

Here’s a link to the Kolkata Police Incident files, which is, suspiciously in my view, not currently showing any reports of banana force feeding being used by Kolkata’s finest. Perhaps the story is still in the, er, pipeline?

It might just be that it’s the best meal the poor bastard has had in months.
