________________ of you to request the C.P.O. not to take further action in this case. In case he refuses to comply, then we should see that no one appears as a witness against Adharchandra. I have still not given my testimony. I will hold that I was hurt due to a fall.” People were shocked when they heard this. Some people were congratulating Ramatanubabu in their minds and others were blaming him for setting a wrong precedence fearing that the crime-rate would go up. Ramatanubabu had tears of compassion in his eyes. Amongst the villagers, there was a wise old man named Shri Haripad. He praised Ramatanubabu and tried to make the villagers understand the situation. Some of the villagers had a change of heart. The doctor who arrived in the meantime also knew about Ramatanubabu's gentlemanliness and had immense respect for him. Ramatanaubabu requested the doctor to give Adharchandra a favourable report but the doctor was not convinced. He agreed not to make the report immediately. He said, “If the C.P.O. accepts your request, I will not need to write the report.” After the doctor left, Ramatanubabu and a few respected old men from the village went to see the police officer. They tried explaining Ramatanababu's thought process and pleaded with the C.P.O. to release Adharchandra without fighting the case. The C.P.O. was impressed by Ramatanubabu's compassionate nature. Coincidentally, the Circle Inspector of Police, Pramathbabu was also present. He was deeply affected by Ramatanubabu's wonderful deportment. The C.P.O. went aside and discussed the situation. 131
