In a colony, several people purchased mosquito killing rackets from a company. The majority of rackets turned useless within a period of three months.

The price of the racket was ₹500. Meanwhile one of the friends of Rishant who was a journalist, reported about the incident in a daily newspaper. When the company learnt about the situation, it decided to take a milestone step. The company decided to take back and repair all the faulty rackets from the residents of the society. The whole story took a twist when a technician from the company told the management that in the instruction book provided with the racket, it was written to clean the racket with special care after every one month.
