Much ado about nothing; unwitting comedy of errors or then misplaced hysteria and utterly avoidable paranoia you can call it by any name or nomenclature you desire.......
An unclaimed; nondescript; stereotypical though seemingly expensive and suave leather satchel or executive bag innocently lying on a footpath opposite a nationalised bank's branch in Allahabad city's Civil Lines area on a typically barmy Thursday December afternoon literally and figuratively sent the police sleuths into a tizzy and frenzy that lasted the best part of some three odd hours.......
This object of curiosity; trepidation; and last but not the least morbid and inexplicable fear was discovered or unearthed by a gent who was making his way into the said bank premises and he promptly proceeded to inform the local police sleuths who rushed over to the spot within a matter of minutes and subsequently proceeded to "cordon" of the area......
They firstly proceeded to disdainfully order all the concerned bank officials/staff/personnel; customers and other bystanders who had by then gathered there wondering what the hulabaloo was all about and asked them to observe proceedings from a supposedly safe distance of some 500 or so metres away.......
After some mutual discussions and confabulations they then took the supposedly sage and philosophical decision to summon the city's bomb disposal squad and entrust the onerous task and responsibility of unearthing or then unravelling the contents of the "mysterious" and seemingly deathly bag to them......
Bomb disposal squad personnel arrived at the designated spot within some thirty odd minutes of being summoned and as per their pre ordained script and laid down procedures firstly secured the crime scene; meticulously lifted the bag with a pair of pliers/tongs or the like and then cautiously proceeded to open the same only to discover that the same contained nothing more than a few official documents that revealed the identity of the owner of the same; a few toiletries and last but not the least around some five odd thousand rupees in cash........
The gent who owned the bag was summarily summoned to the very spot where he had forgotten his bag in his undue and unseemly haste to wend his way back to his workplace after having withdrawn the much needed Rs. 12;000/- that he required for his immediate and pressing needs and soundly abused with the choicest epithets by both the police personnel as well as bomb disposal squad denizens for having wasted their time and the like.......
All's well that ends well or then a bunch of fools who are better suited to tracing Azam Khan's missing buffaloes every single time they decide to saunter out on their very own; well I will let you draw your very own conclusions........
