The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) staff on Tuesday returned a pouch filled with foreign currency worth Rs5 million to a passenger who had left it on a flight from Dammam to Sialkot.

According to a PIA spokesperson, the passenger left his purse in the aircraft and left for immigration, which was later discovered by the cabin crew.
