I can give you a general comment. Jagu is a restaurant owner in Mumbai and a friend of Hira Lal. He offers the young boy a place to stay and a job in his restaurant. He is kind although rather reticent and harried. He isn't very compassionate towards his own family though, which is something Hari sees firsthand when Jagu brings the sick boy home one night in a misguided effort to help him.
