CISF restores bag containing over Rs 50 K lost in Delhi Metro

A commuter forgot a bag containing over Rs 50,000 at a Delhi Metro station but it was promptly restored by CISF personnel.

The incident occurred yesterday noon when a CISF official noticed an unclaimed bag lying at the X-ray scanning machine at the Karol Bagh metro station.

The security team of the force subsequently segregated the bag for a detailed scanning and it was found that the bag contained a total Rs 56,579, a senior official said.

A Tilak Nagar resident, identified as Rajpal Singh, later came back to claim the bag from Metro authorities, who returned it to him after due verification.
 

"Singh said he forgot to collect the bag after he put it on the x-ray scanner. The bag was restored to him after he provided bonafide details about the contents of the bag," the official said.
