We often hear stories of how drivers of app-based cab aggregators misbehaving with passengers and vice-versa, but this time a Mumbai cab driver’s honesty is the talk of the town.
A Twitter user who goes by the handle ‘@DarthSierra’ shared his wonderful experience with his cabbie.
He started a Twitter string exclaiming his encounter with an Ola cab driver, named Asif Iqbal Abdul Gaffar Pathan.
He narrated the incident about how Pathan went out of his way to return a lost wallet.
Here’s the full string:
Me & my wife booked a cab from our residence to Hiranandani Powai on 10th June 2019 in the evening. We were headed to a pub to bring in my birthday. It started raining quite heavily on our way there.

And we overheard him talking to his wife telling her to not let the kids out in the rain. We also chatted a bit about how 1st rains are bad for bikes & that people should ride safely. Patiently negotiating with traffic we reached our destination

He immediately mentioned he has it safely with him & will had it to me on his way back home. And around 12:30 am on the 11th June 2019 he arrived. I was like cool my birthday isn’t ruined considering all the hassle of reporting lost cards, licence, pan card & stuff

He then told me his family is waiting for him at home to cut a cake. What a day it was!!
