In year 2006, a man has lost his wallet which contained Rs 900 in a local train .When the police informed him that they have found his wallet after 14 years he was actually surprised and also police has returned him his part of the amount.
Hemant Padalkar had lost his wallet while travelling in a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus-Panvel local train in 2006, a Govrnment Railway Police (GRP) official said on Sunday.
In April 2020, he received a call from GRP, Vashi, informing that his wallet was found.
Because of this corona-virus lockdown he could not go to collect his wallet.
Padalkar, a resident of Panvel in neighbouring Navi Mumbai township, recently went to the GRP office at Vashi where he was given part of the money that was in the wallet.
“My wallet at that time contained Rs 900, including a Rs 500 note which was later demonetised (in 2016). The Vashi GRP returned Rs 300 to me. They deducted Rs 100 for stamp paper work and said the remaining Rs 500 would be returned after exchanging the scrapped currency note with a new one,” Padalkar told PTI.
A GRP official said those who stole Padalkar’s wallet were arrested sometime back.
“We recovered Padalkar’s wallet containing Rs 900 from the accused. We handed over Rs 300 to Padalkar and the remaining Rs 500 would be returned to him after the currency note is exchanged with a new one,” he added.
