Rasmay Babu is a known jeweler in the town. He has a patrimonial necklace whose costs are INR 60,000 (during 1957 and today it would be near INR 48 Lac). For its safety, he tells his daughter in law Uma to keep this necklace intact in its box and pack the box with a cloth and then keep that into the locker but Uma tells that her mother in law was carrying the locker's keys who is out of town, so he tells Uma to pack the necklace box and give that back to him so he will carry this until her wife comes. Uma follows his order but before packing the box he tries the necklace on her neck. She is in love with the necklace and asks her husband to make a similar necklace for her. Husband Manimay promises her to bring a similar necklace for her.
