Indian actor Darshan Jariwala was recently travelling on the Gujarat Mail from Mumbai to Ahmedabad when he realised he had forgotten his wallet on the train. He immediately lodged a complaint on the Rail Madad helpline. After swift action was taken, Darshan recorded a video message for DRM Ahmedabad, expressing gratitude to the Railway Protection Force.
Darshan shared a video on social media saying, “Today on 21st April, very early in the morning, while travelling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, I forgot my bag in the train. I forgot my wallet in the train.” He also praised the 139 Railway enquiry helpline, adding that passengers can report lost-and-found items through the same number.
After filing the complaint, the actor was assured by the railway team that his issue had been registered and would be resolved. Darshan said the matter was resolved within minutes. He added, “Within a few minutes, I got a call from ASI Arun Singh. He told me that he has found my wallet, which had very valuable documents and cash.” He appreciated the Railway Protection Force for their quick response, saying, “It is very important for us to understand that our Railway Protection Police is very efficient and effective. I would like to once again thank ASI Arun Singh.”
DRM Ahmedabad reshared the video with the caption, “During the journey on train number 12901, Shri Darshan Jariwala had forgotten his wallet. As soon as the complaint was received on the Rail Madad helpline number 139, the RPF Ahmedabad team promptly took action and safely recovered the wallet (sic).”
Soon after, social media users began reacting to the post. One user wrote, “The actor got everything so quickly, where does anyone do anything for the common man?” However, others praised the police’s prompt action, while also sharing their own grievances. One comment read, “Good acts must be appreciated. However, recently I travelled to Ahmedabad, there were some issues related to availability of drinking water supply in the Ashram Express. Complained to Rail Madad, DRM Ahmedabad was also in X cc. No action taken.”
