Cops Honour Labourer Who Returned Bag With Gold Jewels Found on Road

Chennai:The police handed over the handbag they found on the road, containing five gold jewelery and Rs 2,500 cash, to the Selaiyur police station of an honest daily wage labourer. The bag was delivered to its owner.

Murugan (54), a laborer living in Rajaji Nagar in Selaiyur near Tambaram, spotted the bag while walking on Agaram road on Wednesday. He took the bag and gave it to his son Seenivasan (20) at home. Seenivasan found five gold jewellery, Rs 2,500 in cash, an Aadhar card, a few documents and a PAN card inside the bag.

Murugan asked Seenivasan to take the bag to the police station and deliver it as he was very tired. So Seenivasan gave it to the inspector, who in turn informed the Selaiyur deputy commissioner about the incident.

Meanwhile, a woman named Revathi came to the police station with her brother and said that she lost her bag containing jewelery while she was going to Tambaram railway station on a two-wheeler. When the police asked him, the contents matched the contents of the bag and he was asked to come on Thursday.

The police summoned Murugan, Seenivasan and Revathi to the police station on Thursday and returned the bag to its owner. The deputy commissioner honored Murugan by presenting shawls and sandalwood garlands.
