great work,must salute for that particular officer who gave the pride to that department.
There are many people who make noises when some thing bad happens from Police. It is very rare to see even a news report of many good things Police officers do. This is one of those rare ones.
Great job, well done, to all those who are involved in the full episode of picking, securing, tracking and handing back the money.
You have been an honour to our country which is being mud-slinged by so many loosers around the world.
Let the brave and valiant actions of the Security Personnel be highlighted as these.We shall enjoy a free breath.May the good Officers be blessed!
