The incident occurred last evening at Shastri Park Metro Station here when CISF Sub-Inspector Ajay Kumar found an unattended bag containing the cash and a bank passbook near the baggage x-ray machine.
After sometime, according to a CISF official, one Vikash Kumar Jain, a resident of Rohini, came to claim the bag saying he had forgotten to collect it after scanning.
"The bag was handed over to Jain after it was ascertained that he was its rightful owner," a senior official said.
