Losing your personal belongings in a public space is probably the worst thing as there is very little chance that you will get it back. But in an exemplary act of honesty, a team of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel found and returned a bag containing over Rs 50,000 in cash to its rightful owner.
A senior citizen, Kanta, thanked the security personnel at the metro station for returning her bag and keeping it safe. The incident took place at the Green Park metro station, Delhi when Kanta forgot to collect her bag from the X-BIS (X-Ray Baggage Inspection System).
