In a bizarre incident at the Madanayakanahalli police station in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, a man named Karthik, also known as Ramu, swallowed a locker key while being interrogated about the disappearance of a minor girl from Gangondanahalli. The police had tracked him down using tower location data after the girl's parents reported her missing. During questioning, Karthik allegedly ingested the key after being warned about potential charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The situation escalated, prompting police to rush him to a private hospital for treatment. Over the next three days, he was fed 10 kilograms of bananas to facilitate the natural passing of the key. Ultimately, police managed to recover the key through excretion, and a further investigation into the case is ongoing.
