Kundapur, Aug 15: An auto rickshaw driver in Kundapur has shown his honesty by returning a bag to the passenger that contained cash, jewellery and a mobile phone.

Vignesh Nayak from Kharvikeri, a rickshaw driver operating from new bus stand here is the person who did the noble act.

Noor, his wife and children were proceeding to Basrur and took Vignesh’s auto rickshaw from Kundapur Junior College on Saturday, August 13. They left the bag containing valuables in the auto while they got down at Basrur.

Vignesh came back without knowing that the bag was left there. When he was looking for a rope to tie the flag for the Independence Day, he saw the bag lying behind. He immediately told his brother-in-law Raviraj Kharvi and then they together informed the police about it. Meanwhile the Noor family came back to the rickshaw stand and enquired about the whereabouts of auto of Vignesh and subsequently complained to the police as they did not get sufficient information.

Police arranged to handover the bag to the rightful owner. Noor family was happy to receive the bag intact. They also appreciated the honesty showed by Vignesh.

The bag contained expensive mobile, 5 sovereigns of gold chain and Rs 2,000.
