Baina lads display honesty
VASCO: In an unusual display of honesty, three students of Our Lady of Candelaria High School at Baina-Vasco found a smartphone and promptly handed it over to the Vasco police.
When contacted, Prem Gurkha of Std 8 said as they were playing near their house which is close to the school on Sunday afternoon, his friend Sohaim Gurkha (Std 5) noticed a smartphone in the bushes and picked it up and showed it to him and Vishwesh Chandelkar (Std 5).
The students then took it to their teacher who lives near the school and since he was not at home they took the mobile home where everyone in the locality claimed that the phone belonged to them. The three lads then ran to the Vasco police station and handed it over to a policeman on duty.
The school Headmistress, manager and parents of all three students said they were proud of the honesty displayed by the three boys.
From the contacts on the phone, the Vasco Police managed to locate the owner and handed it to him.
Pleased by the honesty of the three students, Mormugao DySP Sucheta Dessai has planned to felicitate the three students as 'Little Policemen' once the school re-opens after the Diwali vacations.
