While returning to Guntur, bus driver Rao found the bag with cash packed in the clothes and handed it over to the APSRTC officials at Guntur. After finding the lodge receipts and another receipt of chilli market yard containing the address of the farmer, the officials lodged a complaint with the Old Guntur police for taking up inquiry into the matter.
During inquiry, the APSRTC and the police found that the bag belonged to Sathibabu and handed over the same to him on Saturday.
