Sadashiva Prabhu from Narsi Kumer near Punjalkatte is the honest auto driver. The amount he found on the road was Rs 1.5 lacs, a big amount for an auto rickshaw driver by any standards.
As per details, Prabhu was proceeding to a shop from the auto park on Wednesday, May 5 in Punjalkatte. He saw a plastic packet on the road. Upon opening it, he came to know that it contained cash of Rs 1. 5 lacs. There was also a passbook in the packet.
