Navi Mumbai: A Pune resident, Reshma Pawar (40), found her lost backpack containing gold jewellery and cash from an ST bus.
The ST bus was going from Pimpri-Chinchwad to Khed. The locked backpack had her mangalsutra worth Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 10,000.
Pawar boarded the bus around 7am on Sunday. While alighting at Mahad around noon, she forgot to take the backpack from the luggage rack.
Later, she contacted her relative, Rupesh Pawar, who in turn contacted Poladpur based social activists Pratik Surve and Mahesh Nikam. By the time the activists reached Poladpur ST depot, the bus was nearing Khed depot.
ST officials got in touch with the bus conductor who took possession of the backpack which was sent to the Poladpur ST depot on another ST bus bound towards Poladpur.
