Honest woman finds jewellery worth Rs 1.7 lakh on road, returns to its owner

February 18, 2016

Mangaluru, Feb 18: It was nothing but honesty that motivated Pushpavathi, a middle class woman from Mavinakatte village near Sullia town on the outskirts of the city to return a gold chain worth Rs 1.7 lakh she found on road to its owner Zarina Begum.

Pushpavathi found the expensive and attractive jewellery lying on the road when she was walking towards a shop on Wednesday. She forgot her work and took it to a nearby jewellery to confirm whether it was indeed gold.

The jeweller told her that it was a pure gold chain weighing 8 sovereigns and worth Rs 1.7 lakh. This confirmation was enough for Pushpavathi to rush to jurisdictional police station and hand it over to the police.

Prior to this Zarina, who has lost the gold chain on her way to a function, had approached the same police station to lodge a complaint. The gold chain in the hands of Pushpavathi was a surprise for the cops, who immediately called Zarina to the police station.

The honesty of Pushpavathi brought tears in the eyes of Zarina. “I am grateful to you forever and I do not know how to thank you,” the Muslim woman told her new Hindu friend.
