उत्तर
Hari Singh returned the money to Anil because he felt guilty after stealing it. He went to the railway station but couldn’t board the train. His conscience troubled him for betraying Anil’s trust. He remembered the good times he had spent with him and felt lonely. He realized that becoming an honest and respected man was better than stealing money, so he went back.
