His father, Subodh, the postmaster gets terribly angry with Paltan's behaviour and constantly chastises him and warns his family that Paltan will grow up to become a criminal.
On one occasion, Paltan accompanies a group of boys around his age as they try to gain the attention of a group of pretty young girls. Paltan follows the girls, aims at the centre of a clip one of the girls wears on her head and shoots it to the ground.
