Unattended bag with money triggers panic at IGIA, restored

An unclaimed bag containing over Rs 2.10 lakh in Indian and foreign currencies sent security officials at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) into a tizzy briefly, hours before a man reclaimed it saying he had "forgotten" it there.
Officials said the incident was reported from the arrival area of the terminal-III last night around 8 o'clock when a CISF jawan detected the unattended bag lying near a pillar.
Soon after, they said, CISF called in the bomb disposal and detection teams for anti-sabotage checks on the bag and assorted currencies worth over Rs 2.10 lakh-- including notes like Indian Rupee, Euro, Thai, Bhutanese, Indonesian, Hong Kong, China, Singaporean and Canada -- were recovered.

Later, a person, identified as W Dorji, came to the airport and claimed the bag, saying he forgot it there after receiving a friend who came to India from Sydney.
The bag was restored to Dorji after due verification, they said.
