Hyderabad Lineman returns Rs. 2 Lakh found on road, proving honesty still prevails

Hyderabad: Yes, honesty is still alive.

Proving this, a youngster in the city didn’t think twice when he came across bundles of currency on the road and promptly handed it over to the cops.

Muddam Satish Yadav, a lineman with the TSSPDCL, was walking down in Lallaguda on Monday morning. As he was crossing the Ayyappa Swamy temple, a two-wheeler, zoomed past him and a distance away, a cover dropped from the vehicle. The motorist didn’t notice this and drove away despite Satish trying to alert by shouting at him.

Satish Yadav then checked the cover which was torn to a side and contained cash totaling to Rs.2 lakh. The honest youngster immediately took it and walked down to the Lallaguda police station, handed it over to the Station House Officer and explained the circumstance.

Speaking to ‘Telangana Today’, Satish said the motorist could have hung the cover containing cash to the hook of the vehicle and with the cover getting torn to a side, it could have slipped from the two-wheeler.

Was he not tempted by the money? Prompt came the reply from Satish, “not for a moment. It’s someone else’s money. Perhaps the motorist could be taking it to meet some medical emergency. Or perhaps, he had saved it for his daughter’s marriage.”
