	A few days later, Nikunj Babu's cousin brother Ratan ~~([[Kharaj Mukherjee]]) comes to visit~~ Nikunj Babu at his home. He is surprised to see that his brother had bought a robot.

	In a different visit to his cousin brother's house, Ratan tells Nikunj Babu that he had become ~~a millionaire~~ by inheriting wealth from a recently deceased relative.

The doctor, who examines Ratan, claims that he died from a heart attack.
