Sundari Planibel’s employer gave her vada pav in a packet, asking her to give it to some poor person. Planibel kept it in the bag in which she had carried her jewellery
On leaving her employer’s house, Planibel spotted a beggar sitting with her children. She handed over her bag to the woman, forgetting about the jewellery in it
As the pav was stale and hard, the beggar woman who was going somewhere in a rickshaw, threw the bag onto a pile of garbage on the road
At the bank, Planibel realised she did not have the bag of gold jewellery. She wanted to mortgage the jewellery to repay loans taken for her daughter’s wedding
She went to Dindoshi police who located the beggar, and after her claim, spent over four hours on CCTV footage at the garbage pile to find the bag that rats dragged to a gutter
The police gave the bag to Planibel. She was full of gratitude for them. Somnath Gharge, DCP, Zone XII said they worked hard to find it
