Cuddalore (Tamil Nadu), Sep 17: Newly wedded couple K. Prabhu and P. Divya got a surprise and unexpected gift on their wedding reception in this Tamil Nadu town on Sunday.

Prabhu was surprised when his friends numbering about 20 presented him a plastic can containing four litres of petrol. "We were really surprised. I was not told about the gift in advance," Prabhu told IANS over the telephone from Cuddalore, about 175 km from Chennai.

Asked if the petrol will be used to drive his autorickshaw, Prabhu said: "I have decided to keep it. I will not use it to power my vehicle." He said the rising petrol prices was impacting his revenue as he was not able to pass it on to his customers.
