How many of you will vouch for the fact that whenever you have left
your phone, wallet or basically anything in auto-rickshaws it’s as good
as gone? Now I’m not calling rickshaw drivers dishonest, but it is
practically impossible for them to locate you back and return your
belongings.
But one rickshaw driver from Pune, Dilip Raising decided to go
against this odd and travelled for 32 km, only to return a laptop to its
rightful owner – software engineer M Narendra Chaudhari.
Dilip Raising drove all the way from Baner area in Pune to the
Railway station to search for his passenger, Chaudhari. Unable to find
him there, Raising went to the Magarpatta police chowkey and handed them
the bag.
Chaudhari had boarded Dilip Raising’s auto-rickshaw from Magarpatta
area to go to Baner on Sunday, 8:30 AM and in a hurry forgot to collect
the laptop.
It is only after getting off from the rickshaw that he realised he
had left his laptop. Raising himself discovered the bag when he went to
the Railway station and let another passenger board the rickshaw.
Assistant inspector of the Hadapsar police station Salim Nadaf, felicitated Raising, as this was a one-of-its-kind story.
Narendra Chaudhari had lodged a complaint in the same police station and was more than happy to find his laptop safe.
We hope that Dilip Raising’s honest story is heard by millions and it acts as a reminder to all that humanity still exists.
