A brief moment near Chennai’s Madhya Kailash junction turned into a quiet reminder that honesty still shows up on busy streets, a moment that has since featured in Latest News in India. Aishwarya Lakshmi, 25, spotted a bag on the road with cash inside, around ₹1.8 lakh, and chose not to walk away. She passed it to a traffic policeman, who alerted the control room. Soon after, Kotturpuram police traced the owner and handed the money back after checking the details. It sounds ordinary, but it is not that common.
Cash Bag, Quick Police Trail, Owner Gets It Back
Police said the owner, Ajithkumar (48) of Kottur, had unknowingly dropped the bag while riding home after work, then filed a complaint at Kotturpuram police station. The recovery moved fast because the bag reached the system before anyone could slip it away. Officers coordinated the claim, checked identity points, and returned the cash after verification. A small decision at the road edge saved hours of worry for one family, and paperwork for many others.
A Small Act, Big Reach Online
Stories like this travel fast because many people expect the opposite. In recent days, Chennai also saw other honest headlines around misplaced valuables, shared widely by news handles on X, including India Today.
