There he discovers that the previous owner of the apartment had left behind a pair of beautiful ivory handled dressing table. He decides to retain it since he was in a confusion as to whom he should give it to. After 3 days, the previous owners of the dressing table got to know this and registered an FIR against Kabir for stealing their property.
