He does this every day before leaving the home and again before going to bed. Due to this habit, he has faced many troubles like being late for work and disturbed sleep as he gets up to check everything (a number of times). The psychologist questioned him about what is the reason behind doing this several times. Rahul said that he could not stop thinking that if he has not locked the door, a robber could enter the home or electrical appliances may short circuit and the home may catch fire.
