CISF returns 'lost' bag with Rs 1.80 lakh to Metro commuter

CISF security personnel returned a bag containing Rs 1.80 lakh cash to a commuter who forgot it at a Delhi Metro station.
Officials said the incident occurred yesterday at the Rajendra Place station when a person identified as R Venkatesh approached on-duty CISF officials stating his bag containing a laptop and few documents was missing after he 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.
The bag contained Rs 1.80 lakh cash and belonged to a person from Panipat and he had picked Venkatesh's bag by mistake, thinking it to be his own, they said.

The person was called back to the station and the two bags were restored after due verification, they added.
