The Malad police helped recover a jeweller’s bag containing silver ornaments worth nearly Rs 1 lakh that had been accidentally left behind in an autorickshaw. According to police, Rahul Jain, a resident of Jankalyan Nagar, Malad, and owner of Shree Sai Jewellery at Malwani Gate No. 1, was travelling to Zaveri Bazaar with a bag full of silver ornaments when the incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon.

Speaking with mid-day, Jain said, “I took an auto from Malwani No. 1 and got down at Malad Station. I had kept the jewellery bag on the seat beside me, but in a hurry, I forgot to take it along. When I realised my mistake, I immediately went back, but the auto driver had already left. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find him.” Jain then approached the Malad police station for help. On-duty officer PSI Manisha Kagalkar promptly informed Senior Inspector Dushyant Chauhan, who alerted Detection Officer API Deepak Raiwade. Head Constable John Fernandes began scanning CCTV footage from cameras near the station.
