A Maharashtra bus conductor reunited a 75-year-old woman with Rs 24,000 she had left on his bus in April 2024, more than a year later, after spotting her name on an Aadhaar card during an age check. Times Now reports that conductor Raju found the cash and a prescription in a bag left behind by Kasabai Gaikwad after her journey to Malegaon. He waited an hour, alerted the enquiry counter, and tried calling the number on the prescription, but no one claimed the money. In 2026, Kasabai boarded his bus again. Recognising the name, Raju verified her identity and returned the savings. She gave him Rs 1,100 as thanks.
