The Vakola police came to the rescue of a woman on Raksha Bandhan day, when she forgot her gold jewellery weighing about 10 tolas and worth Rs 3,80,000 in an auto rickshaw. The 30-year-old woman, Priti Patil, from Jogeshwari, had gone to Vakola on Thursday to celebrate the festival. She got what must have been the best gift for raksha bandhan, as the police traced her jewellery in 24 hours.

On August 15, Patil told Vakola police she had forgotten her bag containing the jewellery in an rickshaw she hired from Jogeshwari. She said she was excited to meet her brother and got down near Vijay Sales at Vakola. By the time she realised what had happened, the driver had left.
