The incident took place at Hogolbunia of Batiaghata upazila here on Monday last.
Mom Mollik, the student, said she spotted a bag on the roadside when she was going to take private tuition by van. She got down and collected the bag. Opening it, she saw a huge amount of money inside.
‘’I quickly took the bag and went to Batiaghata Police Station where the owners were found seeking law enforcers’ help in recovering the money,” she said. Later, the money was handed over to its owners after obtaining reliable proof from them.
