There are five men, let's say Tarun Harish Lavesh, Manoj, and Manish. All of them have a dot mark on their forehead. They can't see the dots on their forehead but can see the ones on others. The owner of WHITE Dot is an honest person and will never lie, while the owner of BLACK Dot always tells the lie.

This is the statement from Tarun Harish Lavesh and Manish:
Tarun: 'I see 3 whites and 1 black'
Harish: 'I see 4 black'
Lavesh: 'I see 3 black and 1 white'
Manish: 'I see 4 white'

What colour is the dot on each of Tarun Harish Lavesh, Manoj, and Manish's forehead?
