Mr. K. Panduranga, you are not only a good samaritan but a savior. By returning the Rs.5 lakh to Mr. Pavanacharya you saved a life of a sick person. The money was withdrawn from the bank and the passenger left the cash in the auto. God will bless you and your family for your honesty in every way. |
