In a rather unusual incident, cops found 10 tolas of gold valued at Rs 5 lakh in the possession of a rat in a gutter near Gokuldham Colony in Mumbai.
The gold belonged to a woman named Sundari who was on her way to the bank to pledge the gold and raise money to settle their daughter’s marriage loan.
Reportedly, Sundari had mistakenly given the bag with the valuables to a boy on the street thinking that it only had vadapav. She realized her mistake only after reaching the bank when she looked into the bag in her possession. She rushed back to the spot where the boy had been but could not find him. Later she went to the police.
