Feluda had already solved the case by the time they reached Haridwar. He had recovered the ring from Bonobihari Sarkar and kept it in his matchbox to protect it. When Topshe noticed the glint while Feluda was lighting a cigar, he finally realized Feluda had been holding the ring all along.

Foreshadowing: Earlier in Lucknow, Feluda's investigation already pointed toward Bonobihari as the culprit.

Bonobihari wanted to steal the valuable Ring of Aurangzeb (Badshahi Angti) for himself. Pyarilaal Seth was the original owner of the ring, and Bonobihari murdered him to take possession of the priceless artifact, then orchestrated the elaborate theft attempt to recover it after it passed to Dr. Shrivastav.

Foreshadowing: Mahabir, Pyarilaal's son, mentioned he believed foul play was involved in his father's death.

Mahabir, a film actor and son of late Pyarilaal Seth, suspected murder because he knew his father possessed the valuable Ring of Aurangzeb. His instinct that someone killed Pyarilaal Seth for the ring proved correct when Bonobihari Sarkar was exposed as the murderer.
