On Prime Minister Nehru's Seventieth Birthday in 1959 Rustamji gave him a unique present the news of the killing of the notorious nose chopping Bandit Gabbar Singh in full view of hundreds of people. The very same Gabbar Singh who is today a household name after the film Sholay once carried a reward of Rs 50 000 and was known as Gabra. Rustamji averred that the British Intelligence must have had information that Jinnah was critically ill with cancer and would not live long. The British Government was apprehensive that if Jinnah died Pakistan would not come into being and its strategic interest in the subcontinent would suffer.
