Scene DescriptionHari takes Duli to the forest for paid sex, quite unaware that a pair of eyes are watching him from the shadows. It is Lakha, who was wrongfully blamed and beaten up on the accusation of stealth by Hari. Ray shows us the same purse which he carelessly pulls out to lure Duli while Lakha's grudge only increases. He drops it again and this time Duli waves it at him in a teasing manner. But the humour deserts him and he strides off. Lakha gets a chance to ambush him- he strikes him from the back and knocks him unconscious. Once again, the wallet is dislodged and this time Lakha does take it. (12/26)
