Frank toilet cleaner who goes to Australia from Sri Lanka

Frank toilet cleaner who goes to Australia from Sri Lanka

A small brat comes to clean the channel 9 building under renovation in 2011 in Melbourne and the fellow's name is Chamindu ... a boy who came for studies from Sri Lanka. The brat then gets down to cleaning the toilets as usual and cleans up the bins. Tears well up in the eyes of Chamindu who tries to clean up the garbage bin in the toilet allocated for the invalid and notices
something just incredible. 50, 100 dollars are stuck inside the commode. 

Dumbfounded Chamindu initially begins to wonder that this was somebody's prank; but when he handles the money ... it is all genuine! Now what to do? Should I pull out the money and take the stuff home? Is this my fortune? Or after taking all that home, will I get caught and have to go to jail? ... thousands of such thoughts begin to rotate in his head. But amidst all that Chamindu comes into a decision. This money is not mine after all. I'll speak to my supervisor. Chamindu who thinks like this then rings up his boss. The boss who gets scared on hearing this immediately phones police. Police take the cash into their hands. Police who begins counting the money are perplexed. Converted to Sri Lankan currency, it happens to be something over 100,000 dollars in Aussie currency. Who dumped this in the toilet? 

Days ... weeks ... months pass into years. Later, Chamindu goes to New Zealand from Australia. After 3 years Chamindu receives a call from Australia police. "Chamindu ... there is some news for you. We still couldn't trace an owner for the money you found. Today courts decided in one shout that the owner of that cash is you. According to Australian law ... 23 lakhs would be scrapped off as income tax from that money and Victoria provincial court bestows eighty thousand dollars or in other words Rs. ten million for Chamindu's integrity. Not only that ... Chamindu will be the recipient of Australia's permanent residency status. Today incidentally Chamindu lives in the city of Melbourne as a computer engineer. In fact, as a result of Chamindu's honesty he spends his time now in happiness. 

On the other hand this almost fantastic story finds its way into the x-files or unsolved crimes in Australia. What police suspect is that it was 'black money' of a narcotics dealer which was found in this manner.
