A hotel cashier in Tirupati has been commended for her honesty after she returned a handbag containing 300 grams of gold jewellery worth around Rs 45 lakh to its owner.
The incident occurred when Bharath, a resident of Bengaluru, forgot the bag at Hotel Garudadri while returning from a wedding in Tirumala. "We had come to attend a wedding in
Tirumala.
After the wedding, we came down to Tirupati to leave for Bengaluru. We stopped at Hotel Garudadri to eat and, in a hurry, left the bag containing the gold at the hotel," Bharath said.
"I realised the jewellery bag was missing only after reaching Bengaluru and immediately informed the police."
