why was the postmaster bewildered when lakshmi dastold him that ali had died three months before?

Answer 1

When Laxmi Das told the postmaster that Ali had died three months before, the postmaster was bewildered. It was because earlier that morning he had seen All come to him. At that time he did not know that he was dead and after listening to Laxmi Das, he was sure that he must have seen All's ghost, which was still waiting for his daughter's letter.
