Passenger takes bag full of diamonds to Bangladesh, Dubai Police bring it back
  Bangla Press Desk: Dubai Police have recovered and returned a jewellery bag that had been mistakenly taken by a passenger to Bangladesh. The incident began when the jeweller, who lives in Dubai, travelled to a GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) 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. Realising the gravity of the situation, 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, and 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. The jeweller expressed heartfelt thanks to Dubai Police, saying, “I truly don’t know how to find the words to express my appreciation. Your remarkable attention to detail and sincere commitment to making people happy are beyond commendable.” Dubai Police have extended their appreciation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Abdulla Ali Abdulla Al Hamoudi, UAE ambassador to Bangladesh, and his dedicated team for their instrumental role in facilitating all necessary procedures to retrieve the bag and ensure its safe return to the rightful owner.
Dubai Police also praised the excellent collaboration with Bangladeshi authorities, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to strengthening international partnerships in policing and law enforcement. Such efforts, Dubai Police noted, play a vital role in ensuring justice, restoring rights, and promoting safety and happiness across the community—citizens, residents, and visitors alike—in alignment with Dubai Police’s strategic objectives.
