I later decided to try and contact the owner myself,” Chatterjee said. Porel told Chatterjee he worked at an office near Minto Park. Srinjoy Chatterjee was among the volunteers cleaning the area around Elliott Park when the wallet was spotted. Inside were an Aadhaar card , PAN card , EPIC, and SBI credit and debit cards belonging to Biswajit Porel, a resident of Baidyabati, Hooghly. “I had initially planned to deposit the cards at Maidan police station, but it got late that day and I took them home to Salt Lake. Chatterjee searched for Porel on Facebook. He found two profiles with the same name and, after checking further, identified one that appeared to belong to someone from Baidyabati. Chatterjee offered to visit him and hand over the cards. During the same clean-up drive, he also recovered a Dalhousie Institute membership card and handed it over to a club official that afternoon.
