At some point in our lives, we have always heard that honesty is the test of a person’s character. While the world is full of selfish, rude and unkind people, this Mumbai cab driver’s act of kindness has melted people’s hearts online.
The post went viral after the passenger was moved by his honesty and posted the heartwarming incident on Twitter.
Ola cab driver, Asif Iqbal Abdul Gaffar Pathan, hardly had any idea that his act of kindness will become an inspiration to many and will restore people’s trust in humanity. This man went the extra mile to return a missing wallet of the passenger. The incident might look simple, but the post by a Twitter user @DarthSierra has a strong message to people who have prejudices against cab drivers.
The entire incident is described beautifully in a Twitter thread where the passenger mentions the driver’s behavior and also what took him by surprise in the end.
Here is the heart-melting story:

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
