The CAA employee opened up the packet before two other ASF personnel and found out gold items including a gold ring, earrings, and a locket.
The items were handed over to a duty officer, who traced the passenger using CCTV footage at the Peshawar airport. The passenger was approached and later handed over the valuables after a proper verification process.
The passenger lauded the CAA official and other airport staffers for returning his valuables.
