Mangalore, Jan21,2013 : Basavaraj(44) hailing from Badami, who has been an autorickshaw driver in Mangalore since the past 25 years,  has  won the appreciation of his fellow drivers as well as the society through his sincerity and honesty in returning  a gold bracelet which a customer had left behind in his autorickshaw.

Jacintha D’Silva, a resident of Pinto Lane, who  had hired Basavaraj’s auto to travel to Kadri from  Pinto Lane,  was unaware that her golden bracelet  worth nearly  50,000 had fallen inside the vehicle.

But, the matter came to the notice of Basavaraj when another passenger who travelled in the auto after Jacintha alighted at Kadri, brought the same to the attention of Basavaraj.

Basavaraj with his presence of mind returned to Pinto Lane and waited for Jacintha  and when she finally arrived, Basavaraj after verifying that she had lost her bracelet  returned it to a highly thankful Jacintha.
