Kasargod, Aug 24: A bag in which Rajesh, a teacher of Pakam higher secondary school, was carrying Rs 9.75 lac in cash drawn from the government treasury for disbursing salary to teachers of the school, and in which certain documents had also been kept, had gone missing when Rajesh was travelling between Chattanchal and Kuni in the district in his motor bike on Friday. The police have succeeded in finding out this bag and entrusting cash and documents therein to the person who lost them.
After Rajesh filed a case about the missing bag in Bekal police station, police sub-inspector of the station, Adam Khan, and his team got into the act and succeeded in their aim.
As soon as the bag went missing, Rajesh had conveyed information to school teachers and officials of the government treasury. One of the staff members of the treasury had passed on this information to several of his acquaintances including Anil Kumar from Thalassery, who is employed with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. Anil Kumar had seen that the driver of a tanker carrying LPG had collected a bag that was found fallen on the highway. He gave this information to the concerned. Luckily, Anil Kumar also had noted down the registration number of this vehicle.
When police sub-inspector, Adam Khan, visited the point in Mangaluru where LPG gets loaded on to the tankers and approached the driver, it is said that the driver initially feigned ignorance about the bag. However, after coming to know that there was a witness to what he did, he agreed that he had picked up the bag. He handed it over to the police sub-inspector.
The teachers, police personnel and treasury staff have thanked Anil Kumar for helping them to get back the bag and relieving them of a grave tension. The bag, it is gathered, contained Rs 9,74,424 being salary of 35 staff members, Onam festival allowance, and Onam festival advance.

35 years back, it was against the law to carry such an amount of cash belongs to the government without police escort. I don't know the limit at present.

Mon, Aug 24 2015This is unbelievable that Mr Anil Kumar, who was walking along the road noted down the lorry number when lorry driver picked up the bag on the Highway. We have seen people noting down the numbers of vehicles if any accident or hit& run happens in the roads.It is true that they have recovered the bag afterwards. But, some foul-play has been occurred with the involvement of Rajesh or Anil kumar or Lorry driver or somebody else to nab the money with prior planning about the sequences but unfortunately went wrong that is what I feel.

Mon, Aug 24 2015Can we believe in Rajesh's story? How he can be so careless when carrying such an huge amount? Even if the cash was kept in the side box, that should have locked properly. They are mastermind.

Mon, Aug 24 2015These teachers are living in which age when banking is so well advanced. Now it is right time to transfer salaries to teachers individual account. Can we blame Rajesh for the carelessness? Or dumb teachers.
