Here was a man who had been mistaken for a beggar, but in reality, was someone who had achieved greatness and given back to society selflessly.

Mr. Kumar turned to address the entire bank, “Let this be a lesson to all of us. Respect is not something that should be granted based on appearance. It is a fundamental right that every individual deserves, regardless of their attire or outward appearance.”

He then turned to Ramprasadji and said, “I apologize for the treatment you received. It was unjust and unworthy of our establishment.”
