A 70-year-old auto-rickshaw driver has been felicitated by the Bengaluru Police Commissioner, T Suneel Kumar, for returning the wallet of the owner of an information technology firm who had taken a ride in his three-wheeler on Wednesday.

Sudheer B M hailed the auto-rickshaw from his home in Yelahanka New Town to Jayanagar and forgot the wallet. But he didn't realise the folly until the driver, Farhad S G, called him up.

Farhad called him to the police commissioner's office on Thursday and handed over the wallet. The commissioner praised Farhad's honesty and took a photograph with him.

Farhad, a resident of Goripalya, JJ Nagar, recounted the incident: "After dropping off Sudheer, I found the wallet in the back seat. I headed home and told my daughter about it. The wallet contained cash and some documents. Luckily, I found Sudheer's contact number and informed him."
