Four schoolboys from Nelpettai in Madurai demonstrated exceptional honesty recently by returning a bag of cash amounting to Rs 33,710 that they found on a road. The incident occurred on Friday evening when the students, R Mohamed Thoufik, M Mohammed Asharaf, S Mohammed Aajith, and M Mohamed Aslam, were on their way to purchase jerseys.
They discovered the bag near the Old Sokkanadhar temple in Simmakkal. Initially, a flower vendor suggested they split the money, but the boys refused, insisting on turning it over to the authorities. Following some intervention from bystanders, the vendor returned the money, and the boys then gave it to traffic police officer Pandiyarajan.
City Police Commissioner S Rajendiran commended their integrity by awarding them certificates of appreciation and gifting them books. The Thilagar Thidal police are now working to locate the owner of the substantial sum of money.
