Officials said the incident occurred yesterday at the Netaji Subhash Place station when the woman from Rajasthan approached on-duty CISF officials that her bag containing the said cash, a mobile phone and documents, was missing after she left it for X-ray scanning.
The security team of the force, at the same time, found a similar looking unattended bag and subsequently segregated it for detailed scanning.
It was found the bag belonged to a person from Ballia in Uttar Pradesh and he had picked the woman's bag by mistake, thinking it to be his own, they said.
