Demonstrating honesty and vigilance, Bangladesh Ansar personnel deployed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) retrieved lost diamond jewelry valued at approximately Tk 3.5 lakh and returned it to its rightful owner, a retired army officer.
The incident occurred at around 12:30 pm on Saturday near heavy luggage Gate No. 6, where retired Major Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui accidentally misplaced two diamond rings near a scanning machine after completing routine security checks.
On-duty female Ansar member Runa Akter and Ansar member Md. Nasir Uddin spotted the unattended jewelry and immediately secured it. Following instructions from the Duty Security Officer (DSO), the rings were safely held under Ansar custody.
Upon hearing announcements broadcast by Aviation Security (AVSEC) authorities, Major (Retd) Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui returned to the area. Airport authorities verified his ownership after cross-checking details and descriptions provided by him.
The retrieved diamond rings were subsequently handed over to the owner in the presence of PC Nizam Uddin, PC Alamgir Hossain, and PC Dolon Miah. Expressing gratitude, Major (Retd) Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui commended the Ansar members for their integrity and exemplary dedication to duty.
