A newlywed bride who forgot a bag containing gold jewellery and cash amounting to around Rs 6 lakh in an auto-rickshaw got a pleasant surprise when her belongings were returned. Bitty, 28, got married to Eric, 30, at the Malvani church on Sunday.

The couple was travelling from Bitty’s in-law’s house in Malvani to her maternal home in Jankalyan Nagar in an auto-rickshaw on Monday when she stopped along the way to buy a cake and kept the bag containing the jewellery and cash in the space behind the seat. When the couple reached their destination, they alighted with their luggage and the cake but forgot to pick up the bag. Bitty realised this after some time and rushed to the Malvani police, seeking help.
