The Shahibaug police tracked down a lost bag containing gold jewellery and other valuables within just three hours and returned it to its rightful owner.
The incident unfolded on the morning of November 29, when Jijnasaben Nitin Makwana, a resident of Shahibaug’s Rahasya Society, inadvertently left her bag in an auto-rickshaw while travelling with her son from Gandhinagar Pathikashram to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital. The bag, which held precious items including a gold ring, bangles, and clothes, was left behind when the duo alighted at Navinchandra Park Society.
Upon realising her loss, Jijnasaben promptly reported the matter to Shahibaug police around 11 am. Acting swiftly, the police initiated an investigation, leveraging CCTV footage from the area to trace the auto-rickshaw.
Their efforts led them to identify the auto, which belonged to an Asarwa driver. Further examination of the footage revealed that the auto had later moved towards the Kalupur railway station. Head Constable Sanjay Singh and his team swiftly reached the area and successfully located the auto. The bag was found intact on the back seat. The auto driver was reportedly unaware that his passenger had left behind the valuable belongings.
The bag was returned to Jijnasaben’s husband in the presence of police officials. The family expressed immense gratitude to the Shahibaug police for their timely intervention and meticulous efforts.
