In a peculiar coincidence, a man who was rescued during the recent floods in Vasai, helped the relatives of his rescuer, to retrieve a gold crown that was accidently lost when their Ganesh idol was immersed. The strange happenings were set into motion on Saturday, and later that day the crown worth Rs 3 lakh was retrieved by the man who is a swimmer and professional diver.

In 2 hours, he brought up over 95 idols that had been immersed in a lake in Vasai, in search of the ornament.
