Channel 6 News » Sri Lankan caught smuggling over 2,000 diamonds in swallowed condoms: "Mohammed Shakif, 43, of Galle, Sri Lanka, was smuggling the precious stones in 42 condoms and had just arrived in Chennai, located in the southern region of India, when a team of suburban police acting on a tip off inquired him. According to the police the precious stones were worth between Rs. 1.5 crore ($337,357 dollars) and Rs. 3 crore ($674,715 dollars).
Shakif initially refused to answer, but he was taken to the police station and later to Chromepet Government Hospital at Guindy where an x-ray of his stomach was taken. The results forced Shakif to confess that he had been hired to smuggle the stones.
'Even during questioning, he could not sit comfortably and when questioned, he told the police that he was suffering from piles,' said Suburban Police commissioner, SR Jangid.
Security officials proceeded by giving Shakif bananas. The diamonds were then collected."
