In a heartening display of integrity and swift action, Jaiprakash, a coach attendant at Anand Vihar Railway Station, played a pivotal role in ensuring the safe return of jewellery worth ₹20 lakhs left behind by a Canadian passenger. The incident unfolded on the Ghazipur City-Anand Vihar Suheldev Express, turning a forgetful moment into a testament of responsibility and alertness.
Eventful Journey Back from a Wedding: A Forgetful Mishap Turns Heartwarming Rohit Kumar, a Canadian resident, was returning from a wedding in Ghazipur with his wife Archana Singh and child. Boarding the Ghazipur City-Anand Vihar Suheldev Express and occupying cabin B of the AC coach HA-1, the family disembarked at Anand Vihar around 7:55 AM on Sunday, unknowingly leaving a bag full of jewels behind.
Prompt Action by Rail Staff: A Collaborative Effort to Ensure Safe Return The coach attendant, Jaiprakash, spotted the abandoned bag and promptly handed it over to the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Using the reservation list, RPF identified Rohit Kumar as the owner, despite the challenge of not having his mobile number available online due to the ticket being booked at the Ghazipur City railway station’s counter.
Efforts to Return the Bag: An International Connection Despite Rohit having already left for Canada with his family on Sunday night, the RPF diligently retrieved his contact information and reached out to him on Monday morning. In a commendable act, Rohit instructed his brother, Parameshwar, to retrieve the bag. Sub Inspector Rohit Singh, after verification, handed over the bag to Parameshwar, ensuring the safe return of the valuable possessions.
Recognition for the Coach Attendant: Honoring Honesty and Responsibility Acknowledging Jaiprakash’s honesty and quick action, the RPF has recommended honoring the coach attendant for his integrity in handling the situation. This incident at Anand Vihar Railway Station serves as a shining example of the efficient and responsible system of the Indian Railways, providing reassurance to passengers regarding the safety of their belongings.
