Melbourne: An honest Sikh taxi driver in Australia, who returned 110,000 dollars left behind by its owners, has been honoured by the City Council here for his integrity.
Lakhwinder Singh Dhillon, 47, found the money in bundles of 10,000 Australian dollars after dropping off a group of people at Crown Casino last month.
Singh said the seven men and two women, whom he picked up from Chinatown in his cab, seemed quite drunk.
“When I saw all that money, I thought, what is happening, it is something amazing, what should I do,” he said.
Singh decided to inform the police, but soon received a call asking him to return the money to the passengers who were at the casino, the Herald Sun reported.
