Baba had been away from Nainital but returned to Hanumangarh that day. He asked the reason for the doctor's absence, but nobody could tell him. That evening, while walking around with some devotees, Baba stopped near the Empire Hotel and asked, "Where does the doctor live?" When a devotee pointed to the hotel, Baba sent someone inside to call the doctor. He came out, and Baba said to him, "You are ill?" When the doctor said no, he then said, "You have a cold?" The doctor replied, "Just an ordianary cold." Baba immediately called a dandi and told the doctor to get himself admitted into Ramsay Hospital.

During this period Maharaj arrived, and Radhay Shyam asked him to cure the police officer. Baba put his hand on the boy's head, looked at him in a normal way, and did not say anything.
