Over 100 passports found from misplaced bag

Ahmedabad:This misplaced bag was in the custody for Delhi customs officials for close to a year. When it was opened recently, the belongings inside sent shock waves that ran from Delhi to Ahmedabad. More than a 100 passports have been recovered from the bag belonging to 23-year-old Savan Rajnikant Trivedi, an Amdavadi. Majority of the passports have names of Gujaratis. Delhi police on Monday evening registered an FIR under Passport Act in the case and has launched a man hunt for Trivedi.
The bag was under the custody of Delhi airport customs officials since February 2, 2011 when Trivedi had travelled in a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Delhi. For months customs officials tried to get in touch with Trivedi but when he couldn't be traced, the bag was opened in November.
"We believe that Trivedi feared being caught and left the bag at the airport. We have recovered 105 passports, out of which 89 are issued from Ahmedabad passport office and 15 are from Jalandhar and one from Chandigarh. We are sending out the details of the seized passports to the centers from where those were issued.
