Setting a rare example of honesty, Kuldeep (22), a carpenter, returned 180 gram of gold jewellery to its owner today. He found it in an old almirah he had purchased from a Sector 13 resident in Hisar.

The youth purchased the old furniture and a washing machine from Dinesh Thakral who was shifting to Chandigarh and was disposing of his household items. Kuldeep picked up the almirah and washing machine from the owner today and took it home to Harikot village of the district.

However, when he found one of the lockers in the almirah locked, he broke it open. Much to his surprise, he found gold jewellery sets, silver jewellery sets and some documents from inside the locker. He immediately contacted the owner and called him to visit his house to collect the valuables. Dinesh Thakral stated that there was about 180 gram of gold jewellery besides some silver jewellery and documents inside the almirah.

He said they had no idea about the items and had forgotten that the jewellery was lying inside the locker.

Kuldeep who works as a carpenter and deals in old household items and furniture stated that he was taken aback to find the jewellery. “I did not think twice before calling the owners. I am feeling relieved on returning the jewellery to the family”, he said.

Thakral tried to give some reward to Kuldeep but he refused to accept any cash reward while stating that it was his duty to return the valuables to its real owner.
