An other drama under influence.

Then the owner must be arrested for exhibiting fake diamonds. It cannot be that a genuine diamond would have become fake with the interaction of stomach juices upon it.

Chinese thief tried to exchange the fake one with an original which was exhibited, in the melee he swallowed what he brought, end of the story

Here we go again. Somebody has replaced the original diamond with a fake.

Who displays fake diamonds in an International Gems and Jewellery shows? Something fishy?

They do. Gem merchant is the culprit. Release the innocent Chinese guy immediately. Investigate the gem merchant and fine for lying and faking.

The Chinese has brought in several fake diamonds and swallowed one of them. ( And a pig started to fly)

Why can't anyone figure this out? This man had fake diamonds on his person when he was arrested. He stole the real diamond and gave it to his friend who ran away. Then he swallowed a fake diamond he had knowing that the attention would be up on him and letting his friend get away with the real one. Once the diamond is got out of his system he knows that no charges could be filed against him. Ironically it is the gem trader who is in trouble now for displaying fake diamonds or trying to sell them as real, when in fact he has lost a real diamond.

Really.... Joke of the Day..

The plot thickens for sure.

One rupee or 100 million rupees theft it theft.

When he swallow, he does not know it is fake and so intention is clear.

Chinese are smart to make fake things...may be he swallowed the original and some thing in his body made a fake one and put it out :D

-0+3 # Ishan 2012-09-11 16:23

Well, i guess it all depends on who was around when it came out...

Full marks to Mewan for the excellent analysis, just like a detective. For all what we know, the genuine original diamond is already smuggled out of the country and this Chinese man will go scot-free. An excellent plot for a Hollywood movie like "Thomas Crown Affairs", "Topkapi" etc.

We should have known this was a ploy to divert to attention..

Looks like an episode out of the television series hustle

I already commented on this that he must have swallowed fake one. If it was real one, then he would have died within few hours after swallowing.
