However, many were disappointed to find that the diamonds they had located were, in fact, American diamonds, commonly used in imitation jewellery and saree work.

In a separate incident, a man was rescued after he entered an African lion’s enclosure at a zoo in India’s Hyderabad.

The incident took place at the Nehru Zoological Park on November 23. A viral video shows the man, identified as 31-year-old G Sai Kumae, sitting on a rock a few metres away from the lion. Horrified visitors, on spotting him, yelled and urged him not to jump inside.

On getting information, zoo authorities rushed to the spot and rescued him. They turned him over to the police and lodged a complaint against him.

“G Sai Kumar had jumped inside the lion enclosure, which is off-limits to the public,” the Nehru Zoological Park said in a statement.
