An auto-rickshaw driver named Sakib from Borhanuddin upazila in Bhola set an example of honesty by returning a lost bag containing three lakh taka and important documents to its rightful owner. The incident occurred on April 21, 2026, when Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, a resident of Ward 6 of the municipality, accidentally left his bag in an auto-rickshaw after dropping his son at an exam center. Despite extensive searching, he could not find it and later posted on Facebook offering a reward for its return.

Sakib, who is also a student retaking his SSC exams, found the bag in his vehicle and, after failing to locate the owner, handed it to his parents for safekeeping. Upon seeing the Facebook post, he contacted Rafiqul Islam and returned the money and documents at Borhan Ganj Bazar. Rafiqul Islam offered him a 10,000 taka reward, which Sakib declined. Local teachers, journalists, and residents praised Sakib’s integrity, calling his act a shining example of honesty in society.

The incident has sparked widespread admiration in the community, reinforcing the value of ethical conduct among youth in Borhanuddin.
