Dubai: They were people in need of money, but when they found Dh2,100,000 in the food court of the shopping centre they worked for, they never thought twice before handing it over to the police.Twenty-one-year-old Reddolla Das and 24-year-old Hamid Raza Abbasi have been working with Ajman City Centre for 11 and four months respectively, but they never had a day quite like April 16. Reddolla came across a bag while cleaning tables at the mall’s food court. Without a second thought, he handed it over to Hamid, the security guard on duty, who then opened the bag and discovered the money: Dh400,000 in cash and Dh1,700,000 worth of blank cheques. Hamid, as advised by the mall management, passed the bag on to the police who returned it to its relieved owner, a Pakistani national. “We are all incredibly proud and grateful for Reddolla and Hamid’s honesty and humility,” said Jassim Al Khaja, General Manager, Ajman City Centre. “We at Ajman City Centre endeavour to return every lost item found on our premises. The amount discovered is huge and some people might have been tempted by this.” Redolla and Hamid’s sincere act was recognised by the Ajman City Centre management, which rewarded them each with Dh1,500 in CityCash vouchers.
