Cash vanishes from passenger’s bag during Jet Airways flight

Mumbai: An airline passenger who arrived in Mumbai from Kuala Lumpur via Chennai, found his luggage tampered with and Rs 5,000 missing. While he was dissuaded from lodging a police complaint, the airline has expressed inability to compensate him or accept responsibility for the incident.
Ronald D’Souza, a finance professional and resident of Borivali, lost cash from a handbag kept in a larger bag and checked in as luggage, while taking a Jet Airways flight to Mumbai from Chennai on September 11.
D’Souza was returning from Kuala Lumpur when he decided to buy liquor and carry it with him. He removed the small bag containing Rs 5,000 and put it in his check-in luggage.
On reaching Mumbai, D’Souza found the lock of his luggage broken, the smaller bag cut open and the cash missing. “I wanted to lodge a complaint, but was dissuaded by Jet staff, so I just lodged a complaint with the airline,” he said.
