Why did Hari Singh decide to return the stolen money? What light does it throw on his character?

Answer – After stealing the money when Hari Singh reached the station, he could not board the Lucknow Express though he could easily get on it. He stood alone on the deserted platform and thought about Anil who he knew would feel only sadness for the loss of trust when he discovered the theft. He felt that he should go back to Anil if only to read and write. So he decided to return to Anil feeling very nervous. The thief was very grateful to Anil and quite liked working for him. Since Anil was the most trusting man he had met. Anil's confidence had awakened his conscience. He wanted to become a good man. Anil could only make him a good man. So, he decided to come back to Anil and return the money that he had stolen.
