Mangalore, Jul 26: Jabalpur (MP) resident Vivek Lakhanpal is a happy man now, after finally getting his missing bag back. The bag contained his original marks cards and other valuable documents, including a laptop. That is why he is ever grateful to the media for having helped him in getting his bag back. Daijiworld.com was the first from the media world to highlight this matter.

His bag got exchanged with that of a person named Alwyn, while he was travelling from Mumbai to Harihar. Alwyn, working in Bairut in Lebanon, was in a hurry to meet his father in Mangalore. He got down at Hubli at about 5.30 am and proceeded towards Mangalore.

In fact, Alwyn did not notice that the bag got exchanged, as the KSRTC bus conductor had not tied any tag to the bag. This mistake resulted in the exchange of the bag. Alwyn had not noticed that the bag in his possession did not belong to him for many days, as he was busy taking care of his father. His father is down with paralysis and was admitted to a hospital in the city.

Meanwhile, Vivek’s father was busy searching for Alwyn in city and the local media helped him in his efforts, by publishing details of his ordeal. Finally a person named Richard, residing in the city informed Alwyn that his photo had been published in the media. So when Alwyn opened the bag, he got the phone numbers of Vivek Lakhanpal and contacted him. Alwyn and Vivek Lakhanpal came face to face, with the help of local BJP leader Franklin Monteiro in the city.
 
Alwyn handed over the bag to Vivek Lakhanpal at SP's office on Saturday July 26. Meanwhile Vivek Lakhanpal and his father Mahendra Lakhanpal did not forget to thank the entire media for standing by them and helping them in getting Vivek's certificates back. Vivek also expressed his gratitude to Franklin Monteiro and priests of the local churches who extended their helping hands.

SP Sateeshkumar also did his best to help this family by handing over this case to the district crime intelligence bureau. Now Vivek Lakhanpal and his father Mahendra Lakhanpal are on their way back to Jabalpur with beaming faces. Meanwhile, Alwyn is busy searching for his bag which is in the custody of KSRTC.

    Hi I am vivek's sister, I am very happy to hear that he got his bag back . The 24 days fight has finished with a happy ending. But what about my brothers' ? he got his bag back but his future is spoilt. The whole one year is totally wasted & there is no guarantee that next year he'll get a good college.

    I must say that it was allwin's mistake he should have returned the bag that time only when he noticed that it was not his one.What he did was wrong may be god will forgive him but I'll never forgive him.

    Great work 'Daijiworld'. Vivek is a happy person now. What about Alwyn? BJP leader Franklin Monteiro could have easily pulled some strings to get the bag out of KSRTC holding area. With the snail pace KSRTC personnel known to work, it would be a wonder if Alwyn sees his bag anytime soon.

    Thanks and welldone Daijiworld. If this story was not published by you and the photo of alwyn was not published, Lakhanpal would not have got his bag. It is strange that somebody opens his bag after 20 days and finds the address of the person to whom the bag belongs to. Probably Lakhanpals bag had more valuables than Alwyn's !!!!!

    Good Work Daijiworld...carry on... Also try to unlock some mysteries that would help common man to get justice from various Government depts, and this type of Mystery shopping will alert Govt Depts and keep them vigilant and they might treat every person in good manner.

    Hearty congratulations to Vivek and his Family and Kudos to Daijiworld who were instrumental in getting the lost baggage restored to the rightful owner. The only thing I cannot fathom is how could a person not open his baggage for over a span of 20 days (6th July to 26th July) that too coming from Saudi? Anyway thank Almighty God and Special Thanks to St. Antony who has answered our prayers.
