Commuters often end up forgetting their belongings in autos, buses, and cabs. In most cases, those valuables are forever lost as someone or the other steals them. However, a woman in Mumbai was lucky enough to get her Apple iPad worth Rs 25,000 back, all thanks to the Mumbai police.
Notably, the woman left the gadget inside an Ola cab in a rush. She claimed that the driver took the iPad with him and had not answered her calls since evening. With no other option left, she lodged a complaint at a local police station. Springing into action, cops tracked down the driver and got the iPad back within one hour.
Thankful for the prompt action, she shared a message of gratitude for the Mumbai Police on her Instagram Stories. She also shared a picture with the retrieved device alongside the officers at the Govandi police station. Later, her friend Dushyant Hatti shared the story's screenshot on Twitter.
''This was with my friend.@MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice always in service and thank you,'' read the tweet.
