An Assamese ice cream vendor was devastated to learn that he had been stolen while he was sleeping in an incident that quickly eroded people's faith in mankind. While another man recorded the seller and described the circumstances, a distressing video showed the man crying. The man reportedly went to rest because of "stomach pain," but when he woke up, he discovered that all of his ice cream supplies and Rs 500 had vanished.
The seller allegedly became concerned about his daily costs and the lack of funds that may impact his "children" at home as a result of the crime. But as the video progressed, the cameraperson was seen assisting the seller out of genuine goodwill. In the video, the camerapist was seen purchasing veggies and meals for the man.
The video quickly gained popularity and generated a lot of responses. While some expressed sympathy for the ice cream salesman, others praised the man with the camera for his kind deed.
