The referee will remove the striker for returning it to the player it belongs to, the displacement of the carrom-men while doing so is to be accepted by the players.
Thanks. This really feels like the spirit of the game, I will do this if it ever happens again, which I highly doubt.
If that player's turn is over they should retrieve their striker, and reposition the piece on its edge. That's how I'd play it anyway.
If I placed it in the same position, directly underneath, after removing the Striker the piece fell in. So we opted to lay it down.
