When Rahul asked who was calling, the caller refused to tell about him and kept on asking his parents’ whereabouts. When Rahul refused to answer, the line was disconnected.

After some time, the doorbell rang. As Rahul peeped through the keyhole, he found a tall man with a beard, outside the door. Rahul got scared and quickly ran towards the phone and called up his father’s friend who lived in their colony and told him about the incident. His uncle asked him not to worry as he would reach soon. He quickly collected some other men from the neighbourhood, and with his pet dog, reached Rahul’s home. The tall man was looking for a way to get into the house when the dog of Rahul’s uncle held his leg with its teeth the man panicked and tried to run away but was overpowered by all the men of the colony.
