A bag containing Rs 1.60 lakh cash was restored to a commuter after CISF personnel halted a running Metro train to nab the man who had stolen it and scampered off.

The train was identified, a senior CISF officer said, and it's driver was contacted over the wireless system to stop the locomotive, after which the suspect who is a resident of Tagore garden in the national capital was apprehended.
Later, the bag containing Rs 1.6 lakh was restored to Tiwari and the suspect identified as Jaspal was handed over to Noida police, the officer said.
