Coach attendant returns passenger's bag containing cash, jewellery at New Delhi Railway Station
New Delhi, Apr 10 (PTI): Displaying remarkable integrity, a coach attendant of Sampoorna Kranti Express train found and returned a bag containing cash and jewellery to a passenger, who had mistakenly left it on his seat, the Railway Ministry on Thursday said.
“When the train, which runs between Rajendra Nagar (Bihar) and New Delhi, reached the New Delhi Station, coach attendant Randhir Kumar Singh found a bag full of cash and jewellery,” said Dilip Kumar, Executive Director, Information and Publicity, Railway Board.
Without compromising with his integrity, Singh immediately informed the train ticket examiner (TTE) about the unclaimed bag, he added.
The railway officials said the TTE also acted promptly and searching through the coach chart found out the names and number of passengers, who were sitting near seat number 17/18 in B-4 coach where the bag was found.
“One of the passengers who emerged as the claimant of the bag was Rajan Pathak. Pathak said that he boarded the train from Mirzapur and since there were many family members travelling together, they didn't know who carried which bag,” Kumar said.
“In such a scenario, the bag full of valuables was left at the seat. Pathak returned to the station midway and met the station officials to claim his bag,” he added.
According to station officials, they verified Pathak’s claim to be the owner by asking details of the bag and items that it contained.
After satisfying themselves that Pathak is the actual owner, they handed over the bag to him.
“Rajan Pathak is a priest from Vindhyachal Dham. He appreciated the honesty of the coach attendant and thanked the railways for wonderful service,” Kumar said.

Informing Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor was a crime: Rahul Gandhi on Jaishankar's 'admission'
New Delhi, May 17 (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at the government for "informing" Pakistan about targeting terror infrastructure as part of Operation Sindoor, saying it was a crime and asking who had authorised it.
In a post on X, Gandhi questioned External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar for publicly admitting that the government of India (GOI) had informed Pakistan of the action and asked how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost as a result.
"Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that GOI did it. Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our air force lose as a result?" said Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.
He also shared an undated video of Jaishankar saying India had informed Pakistan of the action against terror infrastructure on its soil.
Jaishankar can be heard saying in the video, "At the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan, saying, 'We are striking at terrorist infrastructure and we are not striking at the military.'"
"So the military has the option of standing out and not interfering in this process. They chose not to take that good advice," the minister can be heard saying in the clip.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB), however, has debunked claims that Jaishankar had said India informed Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor. In a post on X, the PIB's Fact Check Unit said the minister had not made any such statement and that he was being misquoted.
Operation Sindoor was the Indian offensive against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime.
