He must have written a letter saying, "Brother, I am coming, I am thinking of coming at this time." And at that time, there was cash, they were Queen's coins. During the British era, there were Queen's coins, right? They were silver coins. So, he made a good earning somewhere and brought his earnings with him.

He thought, "Let me meet my sister and then I will go, go ahead." So, he went to his sister's house and told his sister, "Sister, there is a risk in this, take this and keep it for the night, then I have to go in the morning, so I will take it." His sister's mind changed. "This much?" She instigated her husband. "Let's take this." "But how do we take it?" "Let's finish the brother." And both of them agreed and did it. They killed him, buried him in the courtyard, and took all the money.
