On Diwali, Man with Rs. 3 in Pocket Returns Rs. 40,000 Found At Bus Stop

Pune, Nov 4: Money may make the world go round but it still can't tempt a 54-year-old man from Satara in Maharashtra to let go of his honesty. Dhanaji Jagdale, who makes ends meet by doing odd jobs, is earning praise from all quarters after he returned Rs. 40,000 cash lying at a bus stop on Diwali to its rightful owner.

While the grateful man who got united with his money wanted to give Rs. 1,000 as a reward, Dhanaji Jagdale only accepted Rs. 7 for bus fare to get to his native Pingali village in Satara's Maan taluka, as he only had Rs. 3 in his pocket at the time.

"I had gone to Dahiwadi for Diwali for some work and returned to the bus stop. I found a bundle of notes nearby. I asked people around and finally found a man distressed and looking for something. I soon found out the cash bundle belonged to him," Dhanaji Jagdale said.

"He told me the bundle contained Rs. 40,000. He had collected it for his wife's surgery. He wanted to give me Rs. 1,000 but I took only Rs. 7 as the bus fare to my village is Rs. 10 and I only had Rs. 3 in my pocket," Dhanaji Jagdale said.

Dhanaji Jagdale has so far been felicitated by Satara BJP MLA Shivendraraje Bhosale, former MP Udayanraje Bhosale, and several other organisations, though he refused to accept any cash award.

Rahul Barge, hailing from Koregaon tehsil in the district and currently living in America, made an offer of Rs. 5 lakh, which too was refused by Dhanaji Jagdale.

"I think by taking someone's money, one would not get satisfaction. The only message I want to spread is that people should live honestly," he said.

"There were four fresh landslides in Digdol and Panthiyal belts on the highway in Ramban district. The traffic on the highway remained closed for the third day today", a police officer told PTI.

On Monday, heavy rains triggered shooting of stones in Moumpassi, Digdole and Panthiyal areas, forcing a suspension of the traffic, the official said.

Snowfall in Kashmir side of the highway, including Jawahar Tunnel, since Sunday has resulted in blockade of the highway.
