LOCAL SELLER FROM ASSAM PURCHASES A TWO-WHEELER USING HIS COIN SAVINGS

A local trader from Assam's Karimganj area made headlines when he brought a bike in return for a bag of cash that he had been saving for a while.

Small businessman and Ramkrishna Nagar resident Suranjan Roy finally achieved his ambition after purchasing his ideal motorcycle.

On Saturday night, Suranjan visited the Abhi TVS dealership nearby his home and spoke with the staff there about his wish to get his ideal motorcycle. 

“He came to our showroom on Saturday evening. As per his wish, we showed him Apache 160 4V bike. After seeing the bike, the man told us that, he had Rs 50,000 of coins and he wants to buy the bike in finance by depositing the amount as a downpayment,” Barnali Paul, staff of the showroom said. “Firstly we were shocked after having seen the sack full of coins but later, we discussed with our owner and decided to deliver the bike to the man,” Paul added.

A daily wager from Assam showed it otherwise when he really fulfilled his desire of purchasing a two-wheeler with his meagre earnings. In the era of bitcoins, saving a few cents every day may seem like a minor drop in the ocean to most people, but he proved it otherwise.
