1. Bideswar Saw was heading to Vidyasagar Setu when a man boarded his taxi. The man got down at Rajabazaar bridge and forgot his bag that contained money in the backseat.

2. The cabbie noticed the bag after the passenger left and therefore, waited for 10 minutes in that area, hoping he would come back to get his bag.

3. When he didn’t return, Saw checked the bag. Seeing so much money in it, he went to the police station to submit the bag.

 

Did the passenger get back his money? Yes.

He had lodged a complaint in Narkeldanga police station. He was called over and was given the money in front of Bideswar Saw.

Isn’t that amazing? I salute his honesty.

Well done, Bideswar Saw!
