Mangalore, Mar 24, 2013: Worried about thefts when you carry a cash bag ? Here’s the solution. Mangalorean Prashanth Nayak has invented a bag which can be considered the most secure bag for those who carry large amounts of cash.

The bag is fitted  with wireless facility and  is controlled through RF(communicated remote control).  A 6 volt 4.5 Ah rechargeable lead acid battery and a receiver with all control sections will be fitted inside the briefcase while the person will have  to carry a transmitter and a key chain with him. The bag should be looped to the handle of a chair or a vehicle and whenever it is moved, there will be a built-in siren which alerts the owner of the bag. Even in case the thief manages to escape with the bag, the owner only need to press the panic button the remote and the thief will get a shock as a high voltage current will pass through the bag. Nayak says the remote is effective upto a distance of 100 meters  till the bag is in sight. He says the  electric shock is harmless as  the current is minimum with high pulsating voltage.

 

Nayak, who though studied commerce, has a great interest in electronics and points out how he had to choose commerce after he scored less in science in his SSLC exams. Nayak says though the special cash bag which he invented last year, he feels  people are not convinced about its performance as it is an unbranded product.
