Mumbai: Auto-rickshaw driver returns bag containing jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh

Exhibiting exemplary honesty, an auto-rickshaw driver in the city handed over a bag containing gold jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh to the police, left behind by a passenger couple, police said today.

A police officer said, Bipinbhai Patel found a bag containing jewellery in his rickshaw yesterday. Realising that a couple who had boarded the rickshaw earlier in the day must have left it behind, he approached the Local Crime Branch of Thane Rural Police at Kashimira.

A police team traced its owners, Zulfikar Lakdawala and Rachna Lakdawala, who are London-based lawyers and are currently visiting India, and returned the bag, the official said.
