TIRUNELVELI: In a coordinated effort, the Tirunelveli city and district police units returned jewellery worth Rs 3 lakh to a passenger who accidentally left it in a bus on Monday. The passenger, Sundari of Veeravanallur in rural Tirunelveli, travelled in a private bus from Chennai to Tirunelveli on Sunday night.
On Monday morning, she accidentally left the bag behind with the jewellery in it in the bus and got down at the Tirunelveli bus stand. She realised that she missed the bag only after the bus left. She approached the Tirunelveli city police who coordinated with the district police unit.
The bus was intercepted by the Panagudi police at the Kavalkinaru check post, 61 km away, in about an hour and the police recovered the bag. The bag with valuables was handed over to Sundari.
