Unit 6: Expert Detectives

Answer: Nishad finds out the following about Mr. Nath from Ramesh:

• He is not very particular about what he eats. He eats two chapattis, dal and a vegetable.

• He eats in the morning and evening.

• He drinks two cups of tea, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

• He pays in cash and also gives tips to Ramesh.

Answer: Maya thinks that Mr Nath is a crook because he does not have any friends even after spending more than a year at the place. Also, he does not talk to anyone and does not have any visitors at any time except for the visitor who meets him on Sundays.

She says that the Sunday visitor is his partner in crime and visits him on Sundays to give him his share of money.

Answer: No, Nishad does not agree with Maya about Mr Nath. He thinks that Mr Nath is a lonely and poor person who is starving. He thinks that Mr Nath is a kind person who, despite having less money for himself, gives tips to Ramesh.
