The grave was illegally opened by unknown miscreants who were searching for a valuable Repeater wristwatch that was buried with Thomas Godwin. The disturbance attracted Feluda's attention and set the entire mystery in motion, as the grave robbery suggested someone believed the watch was still in the tomb.

Earlier in the story, Feluda notes that the grave site shows signs of recent tampering, hinting at a calculated theft.

The Repeater wristwatch is a precious timepiece buried with Thomas Godwin that holds significant value. Charlotte's diary reveals the watch was buried with him, making it both a family heirloom and the object of desire for the rival group racing to find it.

Charlotte's diary mentions the watch had a fateful connection to Thomas, suggesting its importance extends beyond mere monetary value.

A rival group possessing a clue letter is also hunting for the Repeater wristwatch. They are in direct competition with Feluda's team, using the letter as a guide to locate the valuable artifact. Feluda must outwit this group throughout the investigation.

The presence of another party actively pursuing the watch is hinted at when Feluda discovers the watch trail has attracted multiple seekers.

Charlotte's diary provides crucial information about the Repeater wristwatch being buried with her father Thomas Godwin. This detail gives Feluda the key to understanding what the grave robbers were searching for and shifts the investigation from a simple grave disturbance to a hunt for a valuable family artifact.

Feluda's decision to examine personal effects rather than dismiss the case as vandalism leads him to discover the diary's secrets.

Haripodobabu, the chauffeur of Mr. Ganguly, becomes a crucial ally in foiling the rival party's scheme. His assistance helps Feluda thread together disparate clues and tighten the circle around the culprit, providing the extra support needed to outmaneuver the antagonists.

The unexpected introduction of Haripodobabu as an ally comes at a critical moment when Feluda needs additional resources.

Feluda discovers an Anglo-Indian branch of the Godwin family while investigating on Ripon Lane, revealing familial connections that broaden the scope of the investigation. This discovery adds complexity to the motive for protecting or obtaining the wristwatch and shows how historical ties in Calcutta influence the present mystery.

The meeting with a living Godwin family member hints at hidden branches of the family that could be involved.

Old Calcutta serves as more than just scenery, it connects the mystery to the era when Calcutta was the British Raj's capital. The history of British-era families like the Godwins enriches the plot and provides context for the family's standing and the value of their inherited objects.

Feluda's visits to historical locations throughout Calcutta gradually reveal how the city's colonial past directly influences present-day events.

Feluda uses his sharp deductive mind to interpret inscriptions, decipher diaries, and trace the watch's possible routes from the grave to the thief. Combined with Haripodobabu's help, he succeeds in derailing the antagonist's plot and protecting the wristwatch from being seized.

The tension builds as Feluda traces the watch's journey through private letters and family feuds, always staying one step ahead.

Feluda and his companions stumble upon the freshly disturbed grave of Thomas Godwin by chance while in a Christian cemetery. The mysterious digging attracts their attention and pulls the trio into investigating the background of Thomas Godwin and the circumstances surrounding his burial.

The случайное (accidental) discovery establishes early on that this mystery will rely on following clues rather than being led directly to answers.
