Leela, the five years old daughter of Mr and Mrs Sivasanker, is the witness here.
After being appointed in Mr Sivsanker's house as a domestic servant, Sidda became a very close friend of little Leela. Leela was very happy with Sidda and she always cherished their friendship. When the police to their house, Leela's parents accused and abused him for sealing the golden chain. At this Leela felt disgusted and told to release him as she wanted to play with him. When everyone accused Sidda of stealing the golden chain, it was only Leela who told them he had not taken it. At this, the Inspector said that she was not a reliable witness as she was very little. But at the end of the story, we find that Leela was right about Sidda.
