रोबोट ने की आत्महत्या

Summary

A man named Prem Chopra, a member of a gang that robbed a bank, uses his share of the loot to buy a domestic robot named Ram Singh 070 from the Super Robot Plaza. The salesman demonstrates the robot's capabilities, including a secret compartment for valuables. Prem Chopra, ignoring a contract not to misuse the robot, begins using it to steal from shops. He commands the robot to steal a diamond necklace from Gopal Jewelers, which it does successfully. Prem Chopra's greed grows, and he has the robot steal increasingly small items, causing distress among local shopkeepers. A fruit seller suspects the robot after a bunch of grapes disappears. Prem Chopra then orders the robot to steal from Jewelly Brothers. However, the shop has closed-circuit cameras, and a security officer sees the theft and calls the police. The police arrive and seal the shop, but Prem Chopra escapes. The police trace the robot's number plate to the company and the buyer, eventually arresting Prem Chopra. In court, Prem Chopra denies the charges, claiming he doesn't know how to reprogram the robot. The government lawyer requests an examination of the robot's memory tape. The court agrees. The robot is brought to court. The lawyer activates it and questions it. The robot identifies Prem Chopra as its owner and lists its household duties. When asked about its activities in the past week, the robot's memory tape reveals gaps. The lawyer points out these gaps, suggesting they hide illegal orders. The robot initially refuses to disclose the information, stating it follows its owner's orders. The lawyer then argues that by causing harm through theft, the robot has violated its core principle of not harming anyone. This argument triggers the robot's programming, and it begins to reveal the hidden commands. Prem Chopra tries to stop it but is silenced by the judge. The robot then starts to disclose the details of the thefts.
