Udupi : A family from Padi Kudal in Thrissur  which had arrived in Padubidri to attend a religious function has lost its bag of jewels containing gold weighing nearly 25 sovereigns.

The family of Venugopal and Ratna was being escorted from the railway station to their place of stay by Haridas Bhat of Pangala village, when the bag kept in the luggage carrier of the Tata Sumo vehicle suddenly fell on the road  near the Mahalakshmi Temple at Uchila. But by the time those in the car realised that their  bag had fallen on the road, they  could not take a U-turn and had to proceed up to the bus stop and take a turn. However, the bag was missing by then and on enquiry with nearby people it came to light that a bike rider had left with the bag.

A complaint has been lodged with Padubidri police.

The owners have said they would suitably reward those who give any information regarding the missing gold bag. The following numbers can be contacted Padubidri police station (08202555452) or Haridas Bhat (9448445496).
