The imposter was actually his brother who was after the 'priceless' stone. There is an imaginative sub plot wherein the story on the origin of the stone is told to Feluda. Mr. Choudhury had discovered it from a statue in an ancient templein the dense forest of Panna. In reality it was a purchased in Rajasthan and had commercial value of fifty rupees.

The side characters in this story are Mr. Choudhury's simpleton nephew (Amal Babu) who is obsessed with his philatelic collection and hopes to make big money by selling off his collection.Actually he provides the vital clues to Feluda in solving the case. Yes, the clue on Dettol and his uncle's behavior since the past 3 days. Then there is Mr. Choudhury's lunatic father whose piercing gaze made Topshe feel really uncomfortable when he looked at Mr. Choudhury's twin brother.
