Mangaluru: Granite World, Adyar owner Yakub has earned appreciation for his honesty after handing over a cash bag he found on the road to the police.
Cash bag lost while being taken to bank
The cash bag belonged to the Uppinangady branch of Mandovi Motors and was reportedly lost on August 21 while employees were carrying the branch’s cash to a local bank for deposit.
