A man travelling by train in Mumbai, India, snatched one of his co-passengers gold chain and escaped.

When the victim raised an alarm, fellow passengers chased the suspect and caught him from another compartment.

He initially denied taking the gold chain and the people who nabbed him could not find it on his person either.

That’s when one traveller said he noticed him swallowing something and that could be the chain, reported ToI.

He was handed over to the police and a regular X-Ray did not detect anything. So an ultrasound scan was conducted, which revealed the chain.

He was, therefore, fed eight dozen bananas and the 11-gram chain was recovered.

He said that he was afraid of being beaten up by people so he swallowed the chain.
