In a rare display of humility, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma personally reached out to a co-passenger to return a borrowed mobile charger after an international flight.
The incident took place on an Emirates flight from Delhi to Dubai when Deepak Kapoor (34), a resident of Noida’s Sector 12, lent the Chief Minister an international plug and charging cable. However, as Kapoor deboarded in Dubai while CM Sarma was asleep, he was unable to retrieve his belongings. The oversight came to light when the CM reached Amsterdam.
Determined to return the borrowed items, Sarma turned to social media, informing that Assam Police was assisting in identifying Kapoor. In no time, the police successfully traced him.
Following a personal conversation, CM Sarma expressed his sincere apologies and offered to return the charger, though Kapoor graciously declined. The Chief Minister also lauded Assam Police for their swift action.
Sharing the update on X, he wrote, “I spoke with Mr. Deepak Kapoor, ( 34) my co-passenger on yesterday’s flight to Dubai, who resides in Sector 12, Noida, Gautam Buddha Nagar. I expressed my sincere apology for inadvertently retaining the mobile charger he kindly lent me during our journey. I assured him that I would send the charger to his Noida residence. Demonstrating his graciousness, he insisted that such an effort was not necessary. I extend my gratitude to the @assampolicefor their assistance in helping to trace Mr. Kapoor.”
