Passenger loses laptop worth Rs 2 lakh on train, contract worker helps return

The incident took place over the weekend when the train was in the yard near the Egmore Railway Station in Chennai. 

Chennai: In an act of integrity and honesty, R Sribalu, a contractual supervisor who handled rodent control measures on Southern Railway passenger trains returned an expensive laptop that he found lying below a train seat.

The incident took place over the weekend when the train was in the yard near the Egmore Railway Station in Chennai. The laptop, a high-end Apple MacBook costs about Rs 2 lakh which is almost the annual income of the contractual supervisor who found it and facilitated its return.

Senthilkumar, an iOS developer at a leading Indian tech company was traveling from his native to Chennai by train, when he mistakenly carried another passenger’s bag, while alighting at the destination. On realizing his folly, almost an hour after getting off the train, he managed to ring up the owner of the bag and managed to return it within a few hours. However, when asked about his own bag which was left back on the train, the other passenger said he hadn’t noticed it.
