Thanks to the duffer Manav, who blurts out about the hidden treasure, because when Kabir catches the four, Boman lies nad tells him the wrong place where the treasure is hidden but Manav blurts out the truth because he thinks they cheated him becfause during the accident, he went to fetch some water.
