A daily wager in Barishal has won accolades and hearts for his honesty after returning to its owner Tk 1.90 lakh he recently found in the BSCIC area of the town.
Shankar Kumar Saha, the owner of Sugandha Flower Mill located in the BSCIC area, was overwhelmed after getting back his hard-earned money on Tuesday night and thanked the daily wager for his honesty.
However, the daily wager refused to reveal his identity, said councilor AKM Martuza Abedin of ward no 2.

On August 6, Shankar received the money from one of his clients in the BSCIC area. Later, he left that place taking the money in a shopping bag.
As he was riding his bike at that time and the road in the area was full of potholes, the money fell out of the shopping bag.
The footage of all the shops that have CCTV cameras on his way was subsequently checked but to no avail.

Later, the daily wager informed the councillor about the money and handed it over to him.
Councilor Martuza said the money was handed over to its owner at his office on Tuesday night.
