On Thursday morning, Sanket Dherange, a 32-year-old resident of Kalyan was having tea and breakfast at a stall in Mahatma Phule Chowk. The man misplaced his gold bracelet at the spot left. After some time, Jahida Isar, the roadside vendor, saw the bracelet in a bush outside the stall. She immediately informed the traffic cops.

Senior police inspector of the traffic department, Mahesh Tarde, said, “We were surprised when this poor woman told us about the gold bracelet without picking it up. Our police immediately asked the food stall owner and others nearby if they knew the person who lost it. After some time, through CCTV footage, we got his car number and called him to our police station and returned his bracelet through the woman herself.”
