The
D.I.G. (deputy inspector general) of police came to Aligarh for an
inspection. He was unhappy with the local police because a gang of wire
thieves had not been caught. He told them to make an arrest soon. Baba
arrived in Aligarh the same day. The D.I.G., who was a devotee of
Baba's, sent Durga Prasad Tewari in a jeep to get Baba. While escorting
him, Tewari was thinking of how to arrest the wire thieves, for it was
weighing heavily on his mind. Baba unexpectedly spoke out, "The
order to make an arrest has caused you anxiety."
Tewari did not understand what Baba was talking about. When Baba
repeated his words, he understood that it concerned him. He replied,
"Maharaj, being in service, I have got to worry about my job." Baba
said, "Don't worry. Everything will be set right within
three days," and repeated, "Everything
will be set right within three days."
The
next day a head constable and two constables woke Tewari up. They had
the three thieves who had cut the wire with them. The police got
information about the other wire thieves from them and recovered about
fifty kilograms of wire. On the third day the man who had bought the
stolen wire was also arrested. Everything was set right in three days.
