प्रश्न
Will a thief appear in a court on his own? Why does this Thief dare to do so?

उत्तर
No, a thief will never appear in court alone. This robber is willing to do so since he is a native of Andher Nagari, controlled by a foolish monarch. He understands that Andher Nagari is a single kingdom where he can appear as a complainant in search of justice.
