A Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) conductor returned Rs 3 lakh in cash that a Haj-bound couple accidentally left behind on a bus in Hyderabad, setting an example of honesty. The incident took place on Saturday, September 5, when Shadnagar-based businessman Jahangir was travelling to Hyderabad with his wife. The couple were preparing to leave for the Haj pilgrimage and were carrying Rs 3 lakh in cash.
The incident drew appreciation for the two TGSRTC employees. Telangana Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar praised conductor Sarita for safely returning the money without any selfish motive. “It is commendable to perform duties at a public transport corporation while demonstrating such honesty and responsibility.
