This International exhibition had started on the 4th of this month. It is one that is patronised by local and foreign buyers, by the Gem and Jewellery Authority. The incident of swallowing the diamond had been very luckily seen by the workers of the exhibition. When he was questioned he had totally denied. However when he was handed over to the Police this was proved via security cameras. The Chinese National was taken to the National General Hospital from where the swallowed diamond was recovered.
As the rest of this gang had vanished, the Police had made complaints to the Bandaranaike Airport authorities to be cautious about them leaving the country. It is learnt that all of them had stayed in a hotel at Bambalapitiya and it is learnt that they are a group who are in a field, indulging in stealing of diamonds.
The accused Chinese National has had in his possession some imitation and very cheap diamonds and his intention had been to exchange them for more expensive diamonds.
