The video that Das shared shows the man, a shopkeeper, entering the showroom with a heavy sack. Soon it is revealed that it contains coins. The video also documents the employees of the store separating the coins in small baskets and counting them. The video ends with the man getting his dream vehicle.
“On the particular day I received a call from one of the employees that a person has come in with coins to buy a scooter. My first reaction was of shock but then we decided to go forward. It took five of us about three hours to count the coins. And after we finished, the amount came to ₹22,000,” Kankan Das, the manager of the store from where the scooter was purchased, said while talking to Hindustan Times. He also added that the man paid for the vehicle’s down payment with the money. Das also expressed how this transaction made him and the other employees of the store very happy.
