In the first incident on July 21, Constable (General Duty) Sanjay Gond spotted an unattended bag around 1.25 pm near a counter at Dwarka Sector 21 Metro Station. The bag was immediately secured and subjected to a security inspection.

Upon examination, CISF personnel discovered Rs 5 lakh in cash, along with important documents and some medicines. An announcement was made through the station control room regarding the lost bag. Within 30 to 35 minutes, a commuter approached to claim the bag. After a thorough verification process, the individual was confirmed as the rightful owner. He informed officials that he had accidentally left the bag behind in a rush.

The bag and its contents were safely returned, and the passenger expressed his deep gratitude for the CISF’s prompt and honest response.

Later the same day, in a separate incident at Lal Quila Metro Station, another CISF personnel helped return a lost bag containing Rs 42,000 in cash and other valuables to its owner, who had forgotten it at the station.
