Delhi Police announced on Monday that they successfully retrieved around Rs 3 lakh in Indian rupees and US dollars left behind by a South African delegate in a city‑run taxi, and handed the money back to him shortly before his departure from the capital.
The delegate realized the loss on Sunday and approached police officials, prompting an immediate trace of the cab. Officers coordinated with transport and security agencies, located the vehicle, and recovered the cash, delivering it to the delegate only half an hour before his flight was due to depart from Delhi.
The incident highlights the responsiveness of Delhi’s law‑enforcement agencies in assisting foreign visitors and underscores the importance of rapid inter‑agency cooperation in safeguarding the interests of diplomatic delegations visiting India.
