Two construction workers from Pudupatti near Natham in Dindigul district have been widely praised for handing over gold jewellery they found on a road to the police.
Sathya (45) and Sasikala (44) were travelling to Samuthirapatti for construction work when they noticed an unattended purse on the roadside near the Samuthirapatti lake bund. On checking it, they found about 5.25 sovereign of gold jewellery inside.
The duo immediately went to the Natham police station and submitted the jewellery. During the inquiry, police found that the purse had been accidentally dropped by Sivakumar (30) and Sneha (23) of Thandalkaaranpatti, Dindigul, while they were travelling by bike to a family function at Sekkipatti.
