Bag with gold jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh recovered from rats in a Mumbai drain

<p>
In a bizarre incident in Mumbai, a bag containing gold jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh was recovered from rats holed up in a drain in the city, the police said.</p>
<p>
Police said the jewellery belonged to Sundari Planibel who works as a domestic help in a colony in Mumbai’s Goregaon area.</p>
<p>
While on her way to the bank to deposit her jewellery, 45-year-old Sundari gave a bag containing vada pav to two poor children on the street.</p>
<p>
However,  when she reached the bank she suddenly realised that she had absent-mindedly left her jewellery in the bag that she had handed to the kids, said sub inspector Chandrakant Gharge of the Mumbai police.</p>
<p>
The police then traced the children and their mother, who told them that they had thrown the bag on a garbage heap as they did not want to eat vada pav.</p>
<p>
Police checked the CCTV footage of the area which showed some rats carrying the bag with the gold from the garbage dump to a drain nearby. The bag was then recovered by the police and handed back to Sundari, sub inspector Gharge said. </p>
