MUMBAI: A woman who lost her gold bangle and cash after she forgot in an auto-rickshaw applauded the city police efforts to get it back to her within few hours on February 25. Amboli police recovered the valuables worth Rs 75,000 after tracking the rickshaw with the help of closed-circuit television (CCTV) and called the driver to the police station with the valuables.
Ayesha Khan (25) lost the valuables — gold bangle worth Rs 50,000, cash Rs 25,000 and identity cards — while she took a rickshaw to go to her relatives home at Hill Rock Society in Jogeshwari (West) at around 5 pm on February 25. “On reaching her destination, Khan paid the rickshaw fare and headed towards her relative’s home before she realised about the valuables she left behind,” said Amboli police senior inspector Someshwar Kamte.
Realising that the valuables have been left in the rickshaw, Khan approached the Amboli police and complained about the incident. “Immediately on receiving the complaint, constable Kedekar from the detection team first managed to get hold of the rickshaw number through the CCTV from the locality. He then got the driver’s details from the regional transport office (RTO) and tracked him,” said the police.
Kamte said they have handed over the gold bangle, cash and other important documents to Khan.
