On the night of September 22, 2024, an intriguing incident occurred on a local train traveling towards Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). Around 9:57 PM, as the train approached Asangaon railway station, a vigilant passenger alerted the Government Railway Police (GRP) about a suspicious abandoned bag.
The bag, a striking sky blue Reebok, was located in the middle compartment of the train.

Following protocol, the police promptly inspected its contents and were taken aback to discover an astonishing ₹20,00,000 in cash.
