Dubai police recover Dh1.1 million jewellery bag with help of Bangladesh
Dubai Police have returned a bag containing around Dh1.1 million jewellery to a resident after he lost it. The incident took place when the Dubai resident, a jeweller, travelled to a GCC country to participate in a jewellery exhibition. He carried four bags containing precious diamond pieces worth around Dh1.1 million. Upon arrival at his destination, the jeweller was shocked to discover that one of the bags in his possession did not belong to him. The jeweller returned to the UAE the same day and filed a report with the General Department of Airport Security. A specialised investigation team was immediately formed, which discovered that a Bangladeshi traveller had mistakenly taken the jeweller's bag during security checks, believing it to be his own due to their striking similarity. The traveller then flew back to Bangladesh, while the jeweller had unknowingly picked up the other man's similar-looking bag. Dubai Police acted promptly, initiating the required legal and administrative measures. Through direct coordination with the UAE Embassy in Dhaka and the relevant Bangladeshi authorities, the jewellery bag was successfully located and returned to the owner in the UAE.
