Mumbai Police Recovers Lost Purse Of International Traveler, Returns Valuables Safely

The Mumbai Police successfully located and returned the missing purse of a 55-year-old woman who had recently arrived in Mumbai from Addis Ababa. The woman's purse, containing 2200 dollars and 135 Dirhams, went missing at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport last Wednesday.

Upon realising her purse was lost, the woman promptly reported the incident to the Sahar police station. Subsequently, an investigation was launched, leading the police to discover that airport staff had found the purse and promptly turned it in to the missing department of the Sahar police station.
