A 50-year-old businessman mistakenly left his 25 tola (292.5 gm) gold jewellery in an autorickshaw on Tuesday afternoon which was recovered by Pant Nagar police within five hours.

Cops said the businessman’s son had got married recently and he was on his way to the bank to keep all the jewellery in the locker. However, he got out of the autorickshaw without collecting the bag.
