What investigators found while reviewing the hospital’s CCTV footage was anything but routine. The cameras showed a dog entering the surgical ward, grabbing the bag and making off with it.

The police then traced the dog through CCTV cameras installed at different points around the hospital. The trail eventually ended at an open area on the hospital premises, where officers found the missing bag.

Much to Latabai’s relief, the jewellery and cash were still inside. After completing the required formalities, police handed the recovered valuables back to her on Monday evening, according to the NDTV report.

‘He was just checking security system’

The story, however, did not end there. The CCTV footage of the dog making its getaway has now gone viral on social media, leaving users amused by the bizarre turn of events.

“Dogesh bhai was just trying to recover black money,” one user joked.

“Who brings that much gold and cash to a hospital?” another asked.

“Ok, a dog in a hospital ward is not a problem, a stealing dog is the problem. He was just checking the security system in place. You folks aced it,” a third user commented.

“Dogs in hospitals…I see we are already a viksit nation..” another person wrote.
