The story titled "The Curious Case of My 'Illegal Assets' & 'CBI' Raid" begins with Dr. Shirish Kashikar being interrupted at home by a persistent doorbell. He rushes to answer the door, only to find three female CBI officers standing there with a search warrant. The senior officer, Mrs. Khanuja Khandwala, along with her colleagues, resembles his family members, which leaves him in shock. They begin to ask him a series of seemingly irrelevant personal questions, such as his height, weight, and waist size. Despite his protests, they insist on gathering this information. The officers are particularly interested in any unhealthy habits, to which Dr. Kashikar responds that he drinks tea regularly and occasionally has a "hard drink," which he humorously clarifies as just a soft drink for him. The officer misinterprets this as a serious concern in Gujarat and continues probing him. As the questioning unfolds, Dr. Kashikar is bewildered by the nature of the investigation and the odd similarities between the officers and his own family. The story captures a mix of humor and absurdity in the situation.
