Uber driver makes a noble gesture of driving from Pune to Mumbai International Airport to reach passenger’s bag containing his passport and documents, left in the cab, just in time to board his flight
It was indeed a remarkable gesture by Manik Choure, Uber driver (MH12 NX 6146), who took the trouble to drive from Pune to Mumbai International Airport to return his passenger, Mohnish Rajan’s bag containing his passport and documents, on 8th January morning at 7am.
Mohnish had boarded the Uber from his residence at Salisbury Park and alighted at Pimpri to travel alongwith his family by car. He took his two bags but forgot his third bag in the cab.
When he reached Lonavala he received a call from Manik informing him that he had left his bag in the cab. A shocked Mohnish, who was on his way to Mumbai to board an international flight, realized it was the bag containing his passport and other important documents.
Mohnish humbly requested Manik to please immediately leave for Mumbai, to reach his bag in time for his flight, Singapore Airlines, to Melbourne. Without any delay, Manik proceeded to Mumbai, and reached just in time to handover the bag to the owner. Of course, he was duly compensated for his efforts, but it is a rare act of selflessness by the driver! Hats off to Manik!!
