The two men have not responded to the charges or commented on their public humiliation, which has caused hilarity on social media.

Photos and a video of the father and son, dressed in silver space suits, being escorted by officials have gone viral.

Police told reporters that they had passed off the metal plate as a "rare piece of copper", which was "struck by thunderbolt" and therefore had the power to pull rice towards it.

They had further assured the businessman that the plate, which they called the "Rice Puller", could be sold to Nasa for around $5.5bn (4.1bn).

They're a special kind of stupid. I wonder where they stole the heat reflective suits from. Is their a foundry near by? Probably missing a couple.

Why do they keep calling it a "space suit?"  It's a radiant heat protecting suit, like what a volcanologist would wear near a pool of lava.

Was that a scam, or a joke?  I wouldn't want anyone to know if I fell for something like that.

Police told Indian media that a "rice puller" is a "non-existent thing"...

It sounds like they had some sort of fake demonstration, the article mentions the copper plate was rigged with a magnetic coating. They probably had some doctored up rice to go with it. Still extremely stupid though

If i was going to run a scam saying I had some super secret tech it would do something way cooler than attract rice

India is a prime example why the Prime Directive should never be violated. India has nuclear weapons, a space program, and yet, not enough toilets for 80% of its population.

I remember a short while ago when India banned its cash and go cashless, forcing many to go to the bank to deposit it before it became worthless.  There was a tax collector skimming off rupees from people.  It failed and they reissued new rupees.

Don't know why they should be humiliated when they actually convinced somebody that their rare copper plate could attract rice
