Having your belongings stolen on your last day in a foreign country isn’t something that will make you sing praises of the country. But that’s exactly what 26-year-old Bora Kim, a Thai national, is doing.

Kim, whose jacket was stolen on the train from Udaipur to Mumbai, on her last day in India, is impressed with the government railway police for their kind treatment of her.

The Bandra GRP not only took her complaint promptly, but also gave her with food, water and saw her off for her flight on Wednesday night. "She came to the office around 4pm with a complaint of her jacket being stolen. The jacket had her last few Indian currency notes. She seemed quite worked up and hungry, so we asked a female constable to calm her down and make her feel at home," said Vijay Dhopavkar, senior inspector of Bandra GRP.

A harrowed Kim was overwhelmed with the treatment she got at the Bandra GRP office. She said she was touched when the female constable offered to take her to a nearby restaurant at her own expense before dropping her off at Santa Cruz.

"She said she would go all the way to Churchgate to eat something and then take a cab to the airport. We explained to her that it would be very expensive. As it is she had little money left on her. So we offered to drop her at Santa Cruz station by train from where she could get an autorickshaw to go to the airport," said constable Anupama Modekar who is said to have become friends with Kim during this short encounter.

Modekar added that she was floored with Kim’s innocence. "She looked so innocent that I was afraid of leaving her alone. She was reluctant in letting me buy food for her but her hunger was apparent. Even two cups of tea, a masala dosa and two glasses of lassi didn’t seem to satiate it," Modekar laughed.

Having travelled across Rajasthan, Odisha and Maharashtra, Kim said her last day was her most memorable. "The GRP transformed my nightmarish day into the most pleasant memory of my trip. I just can’t thank them enough. But I would like to say to them dhanyawad," she said.
