Indian business tycoon Harsh Goenka shared the video of the autorickshaw on Twitter which has since garnered nearly 60,000 views and over 3,300 likes. In the video, one can see an autorickshaw parked near a road and when a passenger approaches, the driver points towards the tap and requests him to wash his hands before boarding. The man then washes his hands with liquid soap and water and then boards the rickshaw.
