In today's world, the word honesty holds little or no value. But this Delhi driver's selfless act is a breath of fresh air.

According to reports, Kapri picked up his passenger, Mubisher Wani, from Delhi's domestic airport and dropped him at central Delhi's Paharganj area.

On his way back, he noticed that Wani had left his bag in the car. Without a second thought, Kapri drove all the way back and dropped the bag at the police station quartered in the airport.

According to reports the bag had gold jewellery, laptop, an i-Phone, camera and US currency worth Rs 8 lakh and other important documents like his passport and visa papers, said DCP (Airport) Sanjay Bhatia.
