Puri: A Railway Protection Force (RPF) staff made the day of an elderly Maharashtra man by returning his lost bag containing Rs 25,000 cash and other important documents at Puri railway station here in the district.

According to reports, on February 21, the RPF staff T K Mohaptra boarded the Puri - Ahmedabad train after it halted at platform number-3 for security check. During inspection, he found a bag lying unattended on seat number-3 of coach 1.
