Anil Yadav swallowed a stolen 2.5 tola (about 30
gram) gold mangalsutra, with a large pendant in Mumbai in order to try and
avoid arrest.
On Monday afternoon, Rajeshri Mayekar (52), a resident of Pratiksha Nagar in
Sion was walking back home. She was wearing a 2.5-tola (about 25 gram) gold
mangalsutra, with a large pendant attached to it, worth Rs. 63,000
When she was close to GTB Nagar station,Yadav, a resident of the Vashi Naka
area, snatched the mangalsutra and ran. Mayekar screamed for help and locals
gave chase.
The Antop Hill beat chowkie was also alerted and API Rahul Pawar and his team
also began chasing the accused. Yadav was finally caught after a long chase and
he was beaten up by the locals before being handed over to the cops.
"We searched him thoroughly in the police
station but did not find the mangalsutra. Some of the locals who caught him
told us they had seen him swallowing something, but Yadav refused to reveal
anything.
In the evening, we took him to Sion Hospital, where doctors took X-ray scans.
We were shocked to find the mangalsutra stuck inside his food pipe in the chest
area. It was clearly visible," said API Pawar.
Doctors gave Yadav a lot of liquids and fed him several bananas, making the
mangalsutra move from the oesophagus (food pipe) to the stomach, where it is
now stuck. "The mangalsutra has a huge pendant, which is causing
problems," said an official.
Pawar said, "I had arrested the same accused in 2013, when I was posted at
the RCF police station. He is a history-sheeter and a convicted felon.
Swallowing a mangalsutra, however, is a rare thing."
The doctors are still giving him special liquids and bananas. If the mangalsutra
does not come out the natural way by Wednesday morning, they will perform a
surgery on him to remove it
