BARSAAT KI RAAT

Scene : Bureau

It was a rainy evening in July. Most of the team members had left for their homes. The seniors ACP, Abhijeet and Daya were working on a big case. ACP looked at his watch...it was 10 PM.

ACP: Abhijeet, Daya, 10 baj gaya hai...aaj ke liye itna kaafi hai. Ab ghar chalte hain, kal subah jaldi aakar is report to khatm karte hain.

Daya: Theek hai sir, main neeche jaakar jaadi nikaalta hoon. Tab tak aap dono neeche aa jayiye.

Daya left.

ACP and Abhijeet shut down their computers, switched off the lights and walk towards the corridor. ACP looked out of the balcony.

ACP: bohot tez bearish ho rahi hai. Pata nahi hum sahi salaamat ghar pohonch paayenge ya nahi.

Abhijeet: Sir, Daya gaadi chala raha hai, aapko uske kabiliyat par shak hai?

ACP: Nahin...bas...

ACP couldn't complete his sentence because Daya came up his jeans fully wet, water dripping onto the floor.

Daya: Sir, humare basement parking mein 4 feet tak paani bhar gayi hai. Gaadi nikaalna namumkin hai.

Abhijeet : Aise kaise hua?

Daya: Basement ke drainage mein kachra atak gaya aur ek hafte se kisi ne saaf nahi kiya.

ACP: Watchman ne hume bataya kyon nahi?

Daya: Sir woh bahar gate ke paas baitha tha...uska dhyan basement ki ore nahi gaya...kyonki basement ka entrance building ke peeche ki taraf hai.

ACP: Tum dono ko baaki team ke saath ghar jaana tha. Ab dekho tum log bhi phas gaye mere saath.

Abhijeet: Kya keh rahe hain sir'agar ghar jaane ke baad hume pata chalta ki aap yahan akele phas gaye hain, toh hum waapas nahi aate?

Daya: Sir, main neeche jakar dekhta hoon ki koi taxi milti hai kya.

Scene: Street

Daya walked around with an umbrella looking for vacant taxis, but the rain was too heavy and the vacant taxis were in a hurry to reach home and were refusing to stop. (obviously none of them knew Daya was a cop and Daya wasn't flashing his ID around)

Finally Daya found a vacant auto coming towards him slowly. Daya waved at him' auto came to a halt in front of Daya.

Auto driver(AD): Kahan jaana hai saab?

Daya: Pehle <ACP's house location> jaana hai, uske baad <Abhijeet's house location> aur uske baad <his own house> jaana hai.

AD: Kya saab baarish mein poora sheher ghumayenge kya? Meter ka double rate dena padega.

Daya : Theek hai, pehle humare office ke building chalo, do aur logon aane wale hain.

Daya reached the CID bureau building and phoned ACP.

Daya: Sir mujhe koi taxi nahi mili'main auto lekar aaya hoon.

ACP: Theek hai hum log aate hain.

(to Abhijeet) Abhijeet, Daya auto lekar aaya hai.

ACP and Abhijeet walked down the stairs. (The lift was out of order due to water in the basement)

Meanwhile at the gate, Daya had disconnected his call to ACP.

Auto Driver(AD): Sir, aap CID wale hain?

Daya: Haan.

AD: Sir, maaf kijiye maine aapse meter ka double rate maanga. Main aapko free mein chod doonga.

Daya: Main samajh sakta hoon, baarish ho rahi hai, tumhe bhi ghar jaana hoga. Hume koi free ride nahi chahiye.

Meanwhile ACP and Abhijeet arrived. Daya was already seated inside. ACP entered. Abhijeet was standing outside with his umbrella. There was no space for him in the back seat.

Abhijeet: Main kahan baithoon?

Daya(gives a naughty grin): Tum doosre auto mein aa jaana.

Abhijeet: Hain?

Daya: Arey main mazaak kar raha tha'.tum driver ke saath baitho.

AD: Sir, main sochta tha ki CID officers bohot khatarnaak hote hain'kisi choti baat ko lekar fine bharwate hain.

Abhijeet: Tumhe aisa kyon laga?

AD: Pata nahi sir, sab log police walo se darte hain.

ACP: Police walon se darr unhe lagta hai jinhone kaanoon thoda hai'agar tumne koi kanoon nahi thoda hai, toh tumhe humse darne ki kya zaroorat hai?

AD: Sir, ek baat hai'.pata nahi main aapko bataaon ya nahi'.

ACP: Kya baat hai?

AD: Sir, main koi museebat mein toh nahi phassonga?

ACP: Agar tumne koi galat kaam nahi kiya hai toh tumhe kuch nahi hoga.

AD: Sir, yahan aane se pehle maine ek ladki ko Santosh nagar mein choda tha. Woh ladki bohot tension mein thi'.raste mein usne apne friend ko phone kiya aur bataaya ki main ek bohot badi museebat mein phas gayi hoon.

Abhijeet: Phir?

AD: Phir usne aaine (rear view mirror) mein meri ore dekha aur achanak angrezi mein baat karne lagi. Shaayad use laga ki main uski baatein sun raha hoon'aur use laga ki auto wale anpadh hote hain, isliye angrezi nahin samajh sakte.

Abhijeet: Tum angrezi jaante ho?

AD: Utna toh nahi lekin 'old man', 'gun', 'shoot' aur 'dead' shabd samajhta hoon saab.

ACP: Kya? Tum theek se bataao us ladki ne kya kaha?

AD: Usne apne friend ko phone kiya. Phir usne kaha ki main musseebat mein phas gayi hoon. Aur phir angrezi mein bohot baatein ki'usme se mujhe sirf yeh chaar shabd samajh mein aayi.

ACP: Phir?

AD: Phir hum Santosh Nagar pohonch gaye'.woh ladki ek building ke paas utar gayi'.meter mein 50 rupaye hue the. Usne mujhe 500 ka note diya'.main usse kaha ki mere paas change nahi hai. Lekin usne meri baat nahi suni'.usne kaha 'baaki 50 rupaye rakh lo' aur building ke andar chalo gayi.

Daya: Kya? 500 ka note diya aur kaha ki baaki 50 rupaye rakh lo?

AD: Haan saab, lagta hai usne 100 ka note samajhkar 500 ka note diya.

Abhijeet: Woh ladki itni pareshaan thi ki 100 aur 500 ke note mein fark dikhayi nahi diya?

Daya: Aur usne apne friend ko phone karke 'old man', 'dead', 'shoot' aur 'gun' kyon kaha? In dono baton ko milaya jaaye, toh mujhe kuch gadbad lag rahi hai boss.

Abhijeet: Haan, ho sakta hai usne khoon kiya hai, ya kisi ko khoon karte hue dekha hai.

ACP(smiles): Abhijeet, Daya'tum dono ko har jagah khooni hi dikhayi dete hain?

(though inwardly ACP knows there's something fishy here)

Daya: Kya kare sir'.zindagi mein doston se zyada khooniyon se mulaaqat hoti hai humari.

ACP(to the driver): Tumhara naam kya hai?

AD: Mera nam Sunil hai saab.

ACP: Acha Sunil, tumne us ladki ko kahan se pick up kiya tha?

Sunil: Yashwant nagar se saab.

ACP: main wahan ke police station ko phone karta hoon. Agar koi khoon hua hai, toh unhe pehle pata chalega..

'and called the local police station.

Voice from the other side: Hello

ACP: Main ACP Pradyuman bol raha hoon, CID se. Kaun bol raha hai?

Voice: Hello sir! Main Inspector Harsh bol raha hoon.

ACP: Acha, wahan koi khoon hone ki khabar aayi hai kya?

Insp Harsh: Nahin sir...yahan toh koi khoon ka case nahi aaya hai...kyon pooch rahe hain sir?

ACP: Kuch nahi...bas aise hi...agar koi khoon ka case aaya toh mujhe phone karna.

Insp Harsh: Ji sir.

ACP( to Abhijeet and Daya): Wahan abhi tak koi khoon hone ki khabar nahi aayi hai.

Daya: Toh kya karen sir? Chod de is case ko aise hi?

ACP: Bina koi wajah hum us ladki ko pakadkar poochtach nahi kar sakte. Sunil, tumhe yaad hai tumne us ladki ko kahan choda tha?

Sunil: Haan sir, mujhe woh building yaad hai. Lekin us building mein woh kaunse flat mein rehti hai ' yeh mujhe pata nahi.

ACP: Zaroorat padi toh hum pata kar lenge. Tum apna mobile number hume de do. Agar wakayi koi khoon hua hai, toh hum tumhe bulayenge.

Abhijeet: Sir main aur Daya Yashwant Nagar jaakar dekh sakte hai...Sunil, tumhe yaad hai woh ladki tumhari auto mein kahan se baithi thi?

Sunil: Sir, woh ek colony se bhaag kar aa rahi thi.

Abhijeet: Mujhe lagta hai us colony ka ek chakkar maarna chayiye.

Daya: Kya keh rahe ho Abhijeet...Yashwant nagar ke us colony ke har ghar mein jaakar poochein ki 'bhai aapke ghar mein koi khoon hua hai kya'...?(laughs)

ACP smiles...Abhijeet smiles too, but is unsure.

Sunil, .tum <ACP's house location> Chalo.

The auto dragged on slowly reached ACP's house. ACP got off and went in. Abhijeet got off his uncomfortable seat beside the driver and sat in the passenger's seat at the back. They left towards Abhijeet's house.

Abhijeet: Kabhi socha nahi tha ki ACP saab ko bhi auto mein safar karna padega.

Daya; Lekin ACP saab ke gaadi ko kya hua?

Abhijeet: Unhone apni gaadi servicing ke liye diya hai'AC mein kuch problem tha.

Daya: Bohot bhook lagi hai, boss. Kisi restaurant se parcel le lein?

Abhijeet: is waqt koi...(he couldn't finish because his phone rang)

Abhijeet(Sees ACP's picture on the screen): Haan sir????

ACP: Tum dono isi waqt yahan aa jaao.

Abhijeet: Kya hua sir?

ACP: Mujhe Yashwant Nagar police station se phone aaya hai'.wahan ek khoon hua hai. Us autorickshaw wale ko bhi laao. Woh is case mein ek witness hai.

Abhijeet: Theek hai sir. (cuts)

Daya: Kya hua?

Abhijeet: Khoon hua hai Daya. Sunil'.auto ko ghumao'ACP saab ke ghar chalo aur wahan se Yashwant Nagar chalo'.wahan wakayi ek khoon hua hai.

Sunil(applies sudden break): Kya saab...main is jhanjhat mein phasna nahi chahta tha...

Daya: Kuch nahi hoga tumhe Sunil. Hume pata hai tumne kuch nahi kiya hai. Us ladki ko pakadne mein tumhe humari madad karni hogi.

Abhijeet and Daya reached ACP's house in the same auto within 10 minutes. ACP entered, Abhijeet was back to his front seat. As soon as the auto started, ACP handed each of them a sandwich. He knew they had not had their dinner.

Scene : Murder spot

ACP, Abhijeet and Daya reached the house where the murder had taken place. As soon as they reached the gate, Inspector Harsh approached ACP and saluted him.

Harsh: Sir, yahan Gangaramji ka khoon hua hai. Lekin aapko kaise pata chala ki koi khoon hone wala hai?

ACP: Woh main baad mein batata hoon. Aapko is khoon ke baare mein kisne phone kiya?

Harsh: Sir Gangaram ke bhateeje Gaurav ne.

ACP found Gaurav standing in one corner, crying.

ACP(to Gaurav): Kya hua tha yahan?

Gaurav: Sir, main yahan uncle ke saath rehta hoon. Main aaj office se der se lauta...jab aaya toh ghar mein adhera tha.. Main apna mobile on karke andar aaya toh dekha ki uncle zameen par mare pade hain...(and starts crying)

Abhijeet: Itni baarish mein tum ghar kaise aaye?

Gaurav: Sir main bike se aaya tha.

Abhijeet looks at Gaurav's clothes and found his trousers wet.

ACP: Laash kahan hai?

Harsh: Andar hall mein hai sir.

ACP(to Sunil): Sunil, tum yahin humara intezaar karo. (to Insp Harsh) : Is case ko hum handle karenge...hume shaayad khooni ke baare mein pata hai.

ACP, Abhijeet and Daya entered the hall. They wore their gloves and started their work.

Gangaram's body was on the floor, a bullet wound through his chest, close to where his heart might have been. There was a gun on the floor with a silencer.

Abhijeet(sniffing at the gun): Is gun se goli chali hai.

Daya(checks the dead man's body); Sir, koi exit wound nahi hai...iska matlab goli abhi bhi body ke andar hai.

ACP(picks up his phone and dials Salunkhe's number): Salunkhe, aaj tumhe night duty karni padegi. Ek khoon hua hai...laash ko lab mein bhej raha hoon. Jaldi pohonch jaao.

Daya marked the area where the body was lying. 2 men with stretchers picked up the body and left.

ACP called Abhijeet and Daya for a discussion.

ACP(looks at the gun): Dekho is gun par silencer laga hua hai. Matlab khooni khoon karne ke irade se aaya tha. Agar itna planning kiya tha, toh gun ko laash ke paas chodkar kyon bhaag gaya? Gun ko bhi apne saath le jaata...

(He looked closely at it...and found fingerprints.)

Dekho ispar ungliyon ke nishaan hain! Ise bhi Salunkhe ke paas bhejo.

Daya: Sir shaayad us ladki ne use khoon karte hue dekh liya. Isliye woh dari hui thi.

ACP: Haan...aur khooni us ladki ko dekhkar darr gaya.

Abhijeet: Sir, agar us ladki ne khooni ko dekh liya hai, toh uski jaan khatre mein hai.

ACP: Tum dono us auto driver ke saath jaao aur us ladki ko bureau mein le aao.

Abhijeet and Daya left

ACP went back to Gaurav.

ACP: Gaurav, tumhare chacha ke koi dushman? Kya tumhe kisi par shaq hai?

Gaurav: Sir, jab main bohot chota tha toh mere pitaji guzar gaye. Unke teen bhai hain, jinme se Gangaram uncle sabse bade hain. Mere teeno uncles unke pitaji (matlab mere dada ji )ke jaydaad ko lekar jhagadte the...shaayad unme se kisi ne...

ACP: Dekhi Gaurav, us gun par ungliyon ke nishaan hain. Hume tumhare aur tumhare baaki do uncles ke fingerprints ko gun par paye gaye fingerprints ke saath match kara padega.

Gaurav: Sir, mera bhi?

ACP: Haan tumhara bhi. Apne dono uncles ko phone karo.

Scene : Santosh Nagar - where the auto driver Sunil had dropped off the girl

Sunil: Sir, woh ladki isi building ke andar chali gayi thi.

Abhijeet: Chalo humare saath aur us ladki ko pehchano.

Abhijeet and Daya went into the building, knocked at every house, called out all members in the house and asked Sunil to identify the girl. But Sunil said that the girl wasn't there. None of the residents seemed to know a girl whose description matched that of the girl from the auto.

Daya: Abhijeet, shaayad woh ladki kahin chali gayi ho?

Abhijeet: Itni baarish mein woh kyon baahar jaayegi? Aur hume yeh bhi pata nahi chala hai ki woh ladki kis flat mein rehti thi. Koi use pehchanta bhi nahi...aise kaise ho sakta hai?

Daya(to watchman): Yahan se kisi ladki ko bahar jaate hue dekha tumne?

Watchman: Sir, ek ladki gayi toh thi...aadhe ghante pehle ek kaale rang ka Alto car yahan aaya tha...ek ladki baahar aayi aur us car mein baithkar chali gayi.

Abhijeet: Car ka number note kiya tumne?

Watchman : Nahi saab. Jo cars building ke andar aati hain, unhi ka number register mein likhta hoon. Car building ke andar nahi aayi...isliye maine number nahi likha.

Abhijeet: Kya pehen rakha tha us ladki ne?

Watchman(thinks): Sir jeans aur peele rang ki kurti. Uske kandhe par ek bag bhi tha.

Sunil: Saab, jo ladki mere auto mein baithi thi, usne toh neele rang ka salwar kameez pehna tha.

Abhijeet: Shaayad usne apne kapde badal liye hain.

Daya(to watchman): Tumhe pata hai woh kaun se flat mein rehti hai?

Watchman: Sir 306 flat mein 4 ladkiyan rehti hain. Yeh ladki unki dost hai. Ek-do baar unke saath dekha tha maine use.

Abhijeet: Agar woh ladki 306 ki ladkiyon ko jaanti thi, toh unhone hume bataya kyon nahi?

Daya: Woh ladkiyan zaroor humse kuch chupa rahi hain... Chalo jaakar 306 mein phir se poochtaach karte hain. Shaayad woh neele rang ka salwar kameez hume us flat mein mil jaaye..???

Abhijeet, Daya, the watchman and Sunil went back to 306 and rang the bell. A girl opened the door.

Girl: Aap fir se aa gaye?

Abhijeet: Haan, is watchman ka kehna hai ki kuch der pehle ek ladki is building se baahar gayi thi. Aur woh aap logon ki dost hai.

Girl: Sir, yahan sirf hum char log rehte hain. Aap itni der raat ko hume pareshaan mat kijiye.

Abhijeet: Ma'am, jo ladki yahan se baahar gayi hai, ek khoon ke case main hume uski talaash hai. Agar aap sach ko chupayengi toh aap sab museebat mein pad jaayengi. Aap please humare saath co-operate kijiye. Hume aapke ghar ki talaashi leni hai.

The girl had no answer. She looked helplessly at the other 3 girls. Abhijeet and Daya went straight to the washroom and found what they expected. A blue salwar kameez.

Sunil: Sir, yahi hai woh dress jo us ladki ne pehna tha!

Abhijeet looked at the 4 frightened girls, one of them was already in tears.

Girl 1: Sir...woh humari dost Tina hi thi.

Daya: Toh aapne yeh baat humse chupayi kyon?

Girl 2: Kyonki usne kaha ki woh apne boyfriend ke saath bhaagkar shaadi kar rahi hai aur uske parents ya police humse uske baare mein pooche toh hum unhe kuch na bataayein.

Abhijeet: Shaadi nahi...woh shaayad khoon karke bhaagi hai.

All girls were shocked.

Daya: Uske parents ka address dijiye. Aur uska mobile number bhi...hum mobile se Tina ko track karenge.

Girl 2; Sir...Tina ne apna mobile yahin chod diya hai.

Daya: Abhijeet, yeh ladki gadbad lag rahi hai...usne apna mobile yahin chod diya,...kyonki use pata tha ki mobile se hum use track kar sakte hain. Pata nahin kahan gayi hogi...

Exactly at that moment, there was an SMS ring. It was none other than Tina's mobile giving an sms alert or a cash withdrawal from an ATM in Mumbai airport.

Daya: Tina sheher chodkar bhaagne wali hai...hume use pakadna hoga.

Abhijeet, Daya and Sunil dashed off to the airport. Abhijeet phoned the airport security and asked them to stop a lady wearing yellow kurti and jeans.

Scene : Lab

Salunkhe had finished checking Gangaram's body. The bullet found was fired from the same gun which was found near his body.

Gangaram's 2 brothers and nephew Gaurav had given their fingerprints. None of their fingerprints matched the ones found on the gun.

Abhijeet and Daya phoned ACP and told him about Tina.

Within an hour, Tina was under arrest and brought to the bureau.

Scene : Bureau

Tina sat in the confession chair and explained:

Haan...mere haathon Gangaramji ki maut ho gayi...lekin maine jaan boojhkar nahi maara unhe.

ACP: Jaan boojhkar nahi maara? Matlab?

Tina: Main Lawyer Deshpande ki assistant hoon. Aaj unhone mujhe apne client Gangaram ke ghar jaakar kuch documents laane ko kaha. Main 8 baje Gangaramji ke ghar pohonch gayi. Ghar ka darwaza kula hua tha...

Flashback:

Tina entered the house found no one there. The TV was on and there was a cricket match going on. She assumed that Gangaram might have gone to the washroom and sat for some time on the sofa. When he didn't come for 15 minutes, she got up and went towards the dining area calling for Gangaram.

Suddenly the power went off and the whole house was plunged into darkness. Tina was scared...there was no sound except the rain outside and the occasional thunder. She felt her way around the house and tried locate a torch or candle in one of the cupboards. She touched something cylindrical on a table and thought it could be a pen torch. She tried to locate its switch, but found the other end weirdly slanting into the shape of an 'L'. She felt there was something terribly wrong, when the antique landline phone in the house gave a loud ring which made Tina jump. In the sudden jerk she heard a soft bang sound and a flash of light from her own hands...and realised it was a gun and she had accidentally fired it.

She dropped the gun and stood there in the darkness...after 10 minutes the lights came on and she saw Gangaram dead on the floor about 10 feet away from her. She was scared out of her wits. She picked up her bag and ran out of the house in the rain...till she found an empty auto rickshaw. she phoned her boyfriend and told him about what had happened. He told her he would book her a flight ticket to Delhi where she could stay underground for a few days and then return back once the issue had cooled down. On his suggestion, she avoided going to her own house...she went to her friends' house, borrowed their clothes and left for the airport. But she couldn't escape, thanks to CID.

Back to present:

ACP: Tumne jaan boojhkar khoon nahi kiya, isliye shaayad tumhe maafi mil sakti hai. Phir bhi hume tumhe arrest karna hoga.

Abhijeet, Tina ke fingerprints le lo aur gun par paye gaye fingerprints se match karke dekho.

After a while...

Abhijeet walked into the bureau with Salunkhe's report...the fingerprint had matched. Tina was the person who had fired at Gangaram. She was taken away into custody.

Daya: Sir...jab kisi mujrim ko jail bhejte hain, toh khushi mehsoos hoti hai. Lekin aaj aisa nahi lag raha hai... Aaj agar hum us auto wale se nahi milte toh shaayad Tina par shaq nahi karte.

Abhijeet: Sir, ek baat khatak rahi hai...maan liya Tina ne anjaane mein goli chala di...lekin Gangaram ne apne gun par silencer kyon lagaya tha? Aur us raat ko usne apna gun table par kyon rakha?

ACP: Ab yeh sirf wohi bata sakte the...kyonki woh unka gun tha. Lekin sach toh yehi hai ki usi gun se Tina ne Gangaram ka khoon kiya hai.

Salunkhe (from the bureau entrance): Shaayad yeh sach nahi nahi.

ACP: Kya keh rahe ho Salunkhe?

Salunkhe: Haan boss. Tina ne kaha ki uske haathon ek baar gun fire hua hai.

ACP: Haan...toh?

Salunkhe: Yeh dekho boss...is gun se do goliyan gaayab hai. Yeh doosri goli kisne chalayi?

Abhijeet: Gangaram ne kuch din pehle kahin chalayi hogi...practice ke liye...

Salunkhe: Shaayad...lekin ek baar Gangaram ke ghar jaakar check karne mein koi problem toh nahi hai...

ACP: Salunkhe, wahan table ke neeche sirf ek shell paya gaya tha.

Salunkhe: Dekho boss...Tina ne achanak goli chalayi..ab woh goli kahin bhi lag sakti hai...woh seedha Gangaram ke dil par jaakar lagi - yeh baat kuch hazam nahi ho rahi hai.

Main ek baar check karna chahta hoon. Tina ko lekar Gangaram ke ghar aao.

Scene : Gangaram's house

Salunkhe: Tina, jab light waapas aayi toh tum kahan khadi thi?

Tina : Sir yahan.

...and shows the approximate spot where she was standing when the light came on.

Salunkhe: Agar Tina ne yahan se fire kiya hai toh Gangaram ki laash is taraf gira hua hota...

Lekin Gangaram ki laash aise padi thi.

Iska matlab jo goli Tina ne chalayi woh yahin kahin milni chahiye.

After some searching, Daya found the bullet, stuck inside a window AC in the direction in which Tina had fired.

ACP: Iska matlab, khooni koi aur hai...usne pehle Gangaram ko maara...phir dekha ki Tina aayi hai, isliye andar chup gaya. Phir jab dekha ki Tina ke haathon goli chali hai, toh usne doosra shell gaayab kar diya, taaki hume lage ki sirf ek goli chali hai.

Abhijeet: Tina ek baat bataao...jab tum Gangaram ke ghar aayi, toh baahar kisi ko dekha? Ya kuch aisi baat yaad hai jo tumhe ajeeb lage?

Tina: Sir, gate se thodi door ek bike khadi thi...ghar ke andar aayi toh dining table par ek baarish mein bheega hua helmet bhi tha...mujhe laga shaayad Gangaram ke alava wahan koi aur bhi hai. Lekin bohot baar bulane par bhi koi baahar nahi aaya.

ACP: Bike???

An enlightened smile comes to ACP's face.

Abhijeet, Daya...pata chala khooni kaun hai?

Abhijeet: Haan sir...

Scene : Bureau

Gaurav sat in the confession chair after receiving a hard slap from Daya.

ACP: Bataao...kyon kiya apne chacha ka khoon?

Gaurav: Sir, mujhe paise ki zaroorat thi. Main karz mein dooba hua. Mujhe pata chal gaya tha ki Gangaram ke apni vaseeyat mein apna property mere naam likh diya hai.

Isliye...(breaks down)

ACP: Tumhe zaroor phaansi hogi.

Later...

Abhijeet: Ab tum khush ho?

Daya: Haan boss... Kisi bure aadmi ko sazaa hoti hai toh khushi hoti hai...Tina jaisi seedhi saadhi ladki ko jail bhejte hue bohot bura laga.

ACP: Daya, sab seedhi saadhi lagne wali ladkiyan shareef nahi hoti...yaad hai na tumhe???

Daya: <silent>

Abhijeet: Sir, kyon Daya ko us baat ki yaad dila rahe hain???

Daya(smiles): Sir theek keh rahe hain Abhijeet.

Epilogue:

Sunil got his dues for having driven CID team all around the city and helping them.

Water from the bureau's parking lot was drained out and the Qualis was repaired.

Hi All,

Just attempting to give a different version of the Grand Finale of the Aakhri Chunauti. i just started out and will continue as and when I get time. Do keep watching this thread.

The story so far - all the CID team members were kidnapped by a guy named HD. ACP, Daya and Abhijeet had found the team tied up with bombs attached to their bodies in a deserted house. The bomb was about to blast. Abhijeet had pointed a gun at his own head and forced ACP to go out of the house. Daya had picked up ACP and put him out and closed the door on him after saying a 'sorry sir'. The house had exploded.

CID-Aakhri Chunauti (Last Part)

The blast was deafening. ACP Pradyuman had seen worse blasts in his 35 years of service. He had seen people dying, he had seen dead bodies. He had even lost a dear one - his own son who was on the wrong side of the law and he had shot him down with his own hands. But this one was different. His entire team was inside the building which had exploded. HIS team...which was his biggest strength. They were all dead!!! Abhijeet and Daya were dead - who were with him for the last 12 years. They were more than just obedient subordinates to him. He found it unbelievable that they both too had perished.

They knew they would die...they only wanted to save him. One had emotionally blackmailed him by placing a gun on his head and the other had disobeyed him for the first time in his life by pushing him out of the house and locking himself in. Would he ever overcome his grief? Everything seemed meaningless to him now.

But he was ACP Pradyuman. His duty was above all personal feelings. He had to put it behind him and find the culprit who had destroyed his team. He would grieve for them later.

ACP Pradyuman put the paper on which 'HD' was written into his pocket and slowly walked to the main road. The Qualis was parked. How had it arrived there? Vivek, Sachin and Kajal were freed the previous day. Maybe they had come there in the Qualis looking for the others and got captured by HD. As was his usual practice, he opened the left side front door and sat down. He looked to his right, but there was no Daya to drive him to the bureau. Again feeling a lump in his throat he got off and got into the driver's seat. He drove straight to the bureau.

Scene : Bureau.

Everything seemed dead silent and dark. There was no Freddie talking about his wife and TV serials. There was no Vivek to pull his leg. He had to do everything alone. He walked to his cabin and called DCP.

ACP: Hello sir, main Pradyuman bol raha hoon.

DCP: Hello Pradyuman, kya baat hai, sab theek toh hai?

ACP: (Long pause) Nahin sir, sab theek nahin hai.

DCP: Kya baat hai Pradyuman, bohot upset lag rahe ho.

ACP: Sir, humari poori CID team...sabki maut ho gayi.

DCP: Kya!!! Kya keh rahe ho tum?

ACP: Haan sir...kuch din pehle forensic doctors Sonali aur Tarika shopping gaye the. Tab...(and tells him the whole story)

DCP: Oh my God. Tumne yeh sab pehle kyon nahin bataaya?

ACP: Sir, main socha ki main yeh case handle kar sakta hoon...par is baar main haar gaya.(Felt horrible saying the last words)

DCP: Humein ab ek nayi CID team aur forensic team ki zaroorat hai is case ko solve karne ke liye. Main isi waqt DIG sir se baat karta hoon. Kal subah tak 2 officers aur ek forensic doctor ko tumhare paas bhej deta hoon.

ACP: Theek hai sir.

And disconnected the phone. What next? The usual practice when there was a blast and bodies inside...He needed someone to go inside and bring the 'laashes' to the forensic lab and ask Salunkhe to check them. Oh, wait a minute...there was no Salunkhe. He was dead too...he had to wait for a new forensic doctor.

It was almost early morning. The news had spread like wild fire. There were press reporters knocking the gates of the bureau. He couldn't go home without being noticed. He was in no position to talk to them now. He remembered the number of times he had sent Freddie out to handle the media persons. He decided to remain there till the new CID team arrived.

At around 9AM, 2 guys knocked the door.

ACP: Come in.

Guy 1: Inspector Anil reporting sir.

Guy2: Inspector Ajay reporting sir.

ACP: Tum dono ko pata hai ki kal kua tha?

Anil: Haan sir, DCP sir ne bata diya hai.

ACP: Toh blast ke site mein jaao aur laashon ko forensic lab bhejo.

Scene: Blast site.

Anil and Ajay arrive. There's a huge crowd, fire engine and a few constables. Anil and Ajay enter. They both were fresh recruits, not really experienced, but were eager to prove themselves. They wore gloves and started looking around the remains of the building. They knew there had to be 10-13 bodies ' Abhijeet, Daya, Freddie, Vivek, Tasha, Kajal, Sachin, Salunkhe, Tarika, Sonali and the bodies of the already dead 3 accomplices of HD. Everything was a mess. They could find a burnt arm, a burnt head, a burnt leg and a few such pieces.They called up ACP.

ACP: Hello

Ajay: Sir, main Ajay bol raha hoon.

ACP: Ajay??? (then suddenly remembering). Haan Ajay, bolo, laashein mili?

Ajay: Sir, laashon ke tukde mile sir, lekin pehchaan nahin paa rahe hain ki kiski laashein hai.

ACP: Kitne tukde mile?

Ajay: Sir, kuch 10-12 tukde mile.

ACP: Sirf 10-12??? Wahan 13 log the...tumhe isse zyada tukde milne chahiye...theek se dekho. Main bhi aata hoon.

And got ready to go. He wanted to avoid looking at the bodies of his team members, but these 2 new guys lacked the efficiency of Abhijeet and Daya. He had to spoon-feed them for a few days or maybe years till they became even 10% of Abhijeet and Daya.

Scene: A dark room

Chintu: Sir, maine sab pata kar liya hai. Sab log mar gaye...sirf ACP Pradyuman bach gaya.

HD: Woh toh dikh raha hai TV mein...maine socha use bhi maar doonga, lekin yeh bhi achcha hai. Bohot mazaa aa raha hai mujhe ACP ko is haalat mein dekhkar.

Chintu: Ab kya kare HD? Maar doon use bhi?

HD: Nahin...kuch din dekhte hain kya karta hai ACP apne team ke bina...apne Abhijeet aur Daya ke bina.

Chintu: Lekin HD, yeh batayiye...aapki ACP Pradyuman se kya dushmani hai?

HD explains how he and Pradyuman were once good friends and Sr Inspectors in CID. They worked under another ACP. HD sometimes let criminals get away and evidences vanish for 'favours' in return. Pradyuman wondered how HD was managing such a luxurious life and send his son abroad for studies, while his own son Nakul was studying in a local school.

Pradyuman carried out an unofficial investigation on HD and found the truth out. He had made a complaint to the then ACP and HD was dismissed from services. He was jailed for 10 years. He found it impossible to get another job, the people who were helping him when he was in service had no use for him now and had dumped him. He had no other way out, and joined hands with a Don.

Now was the time to get revenge for all that Pradyuman had done to him.

And he watched the scene on the TV...

(End of part 1)

Scene : Blast site.

ACP arrived in his Innova. He wore his gloves and walked into the dreaded room and started searching for the pieces of his beloved team member's bodies. He found a few which Ajay and Anil had missed. He didn't want to scold them. They were new and inexperienced. He needed their help in finding HD. But first he had to confirm the deaths of his team members. It was a routine duty.

By late afternoon they found some 18 pieces, but they were just not enough to cover 13 people. It was far too less.

Somewhere in a corner of his heart ACP felt that maybe, maybe...they were all not dead.

Exactly at that moment...

Anil : Sir, yeh dekhiye kya mila.

ACP: Kya hai...

Anil: Yeh angoothi hai sir. Khidki ke paas mila.

And ACP saw the ring with the 9 precious stones. It was the same as Daya's. And all his hopes were dashed.

He put the ring into his pocket and continued searching. Everything had burnt. There were some burnt papers, cloth etc. He could have tried identifying the bodies by the clothes but everything was beyond recognition. It was late in the evening by the time they had finished collecting evidences. ACP had not slept the previous night and was physically and emotionally tired. He had to go home. If he had Abhijeet and Daya, he could get a good night's sleep even if there was such an important case on hand. He was not sure how much he could trust Anil and Ajay to be alert during his absence. Anyway, he decided to go home. He asked Anil and Ajay to take everything to the forensic lab and call him if there was anything important.

As ACP drove towards his house, he saw a guy standing near a bus stop. He instantly recognised him as Abhijeet's khabri and stopped the car.

ACP: Hey, tum Abhijeet ko jaante ho na?

Guy: Haan saab. Suna hai unki maut ho gayi.

ACP: Haan, kuch aisa hi lagta hai.

Guy:. Saab, Abhijeet sir ne bomb blast se pehle mujhe HD ke baare mein pata karne ke liye kaha tha. Main wohi khabar unhe dene wala tha. Lekin unki maut ho gayi, isliye socha ki yeh khabar main aapko de doon.

ACP: Achcha? Kya khabar hai?

Guy: Sir yahan se thodi door aapko Star and Moon hotel milega. Suna hai HD wahan kisi se milne aaj raat ko aane wala hai.

ACP: Oh...khabar dene ke liye shukriya. (And hands him a 1000 rupee note)

Scene: Star and Moon Hotel

An elderly man entered the hotel and walked towards the restaurant. He nodded towards the receptionist ' Anil who was in disguise. Once inside he sat at a table. The waiter came towards him and handed him the menu. The elderly man(ACP in disguise) noticed that the waiter's hands were shaking.

ACP(In an angry whisper): Ajay!!! Tumhare haath kyon kaanp rahe hain?

Ajay: Main zindagi mein pehli baar bhes badal raha hoon sir.

ACP: Hey Bhagwaan...tum ek CID officer ho. Aur CID mein yeh sab karna padta hai. Jaao aur mere liye orange juice lekar aao.

Ajay went in and came back with the juice. ACP started sipping the juice with a straw, but the juice would just not come up. He looked into the straw and saw that there was something stuck inside. He took a pen knife and cut open the straw. There was a small paper ball inside the bend of the straw. He opened it and saw that it was written 'Room no 4403' in it.

ACP: Waiter!!!

Ajay: Yes sir?

ACP(in a whisper): Is straw mein yeh paper kahan se aaya?

Ajay: Pata nahin sir.

ACP: Pata nahin!!! Tumne kisi ko dekha mere juice ke paas?

Ajay; Sir main juice laa raha tha toh ek aadmi mujse takraya tha.

ACP: Tumne uska chehra dekha?

Ajay : Nahin sir.

ACP: Main dekhta hoon yeh room no 4403 ka kya chakkar hai. Tum yahin raho. Dekho ki HD ya uske aadmi yahan aate hain kya.

Ajay: Sir lekin hum unhe pehchanenge kaise?

ACP thought 'My God, this guy needs to be given step by step instructions'. He missed Abhijeet and Daya once again.

ACP: Dekho Ajay, main bhi nahin jaanta ki HD kaun hai ya kaise dikhta hai...lekin achche CID officers aise logon ko aasani se pehchan sakte hain. Sab par nazar rakho. Main abhi aata hoon.

And ACP went to the lift and reached the 4^th floor. This would have normally been a dangerous mission. Abhijeet and Daya would never have let him go alone. But somehow his instinct told him that this message was not from an enemy. He trusted his 35 years of experience. The 9 stoned-ring was telling him something too. He kept his gun ready, just in case...and rang the bell.

The door opened and ACP saw him - ALIVE!!! The same boyish grin. He knew the rest of them were alive too, otherwise the grin wouldn't be there. A wave of relief and happiness swept over him and he eyes were filled with tears.

(End of Part 2)

ACP was too stunned to say anything for a few minutes.

Daya: Andar aayiye sir.

ACP(got his voice back, noticed the bandage on Daya wrist): Daya, tum theek ho? Aur baaki sab log theek hain?

Daya: Haan sir, sab theek hain.

ACP: Lekin tum sab us ghar se nikle kaise?

Daya; Sir jab main aapko baahar bhej raha tha, toh Abhijeet ne kisi tarah sab logon ki rassiyan kaat di aur sab log khidki se baahar nikal gaye.

ACP: Par tumne mujhe bataaya kyon nahin ki tum sab zinda ho?

Daya: Sir wahan camera laga hua tha aur HD aapko dekh raha tha. Usse agar pata chal gaya ki hum sab zinda hain, toh woh phir se kidnapping ka silsila shuroo kar deta. Usse ab vishwaas ho gaya hoga ki hum sab mar chuke hain. Ab hum use pakadkar hi rahenge sir.

ACP: Baaki sab log kahan hai?

Daya: Sab log 'National lodge' mein tehre hue hain sir. HD ne hum sab ke gharon par nazar rakha hua hai. Is waqt humme se koi ghar nahin jaa sakta.

ACP: Abhijeet kahan hai?

Daya: Sir, yahan se thodi door par ek paan ki dukaan hain. Abhijeet wahan khabri ke saath khada hai sir...jab HD yahan aayega toh woh mujhe phone karega.

ACP: HD yahan kab aane wala hai?

Daya: Khabri keh raha tha ki HD yahan 11 baje aayega...koi smuggling ki deal hone wali hai.

Scene : Paan shop some distance away from Hotel Star and Moon.

It was dark, very few people on the road. Abhijeet was selling paan to some late night customers. The place was sidey, there were some college students purchasing drugs in the nearby lanes. On another day Abhijeet would have raided the entire area and arrested all of them. But now that will have to wait. He would pay another visit after the HD case.

Abhijeet's khabri was standing beside him. He knew some of HD's men who came to his bar late at night. They would give away details of HD when they were drunk. The khabri had realised that giving some occasional information to CID was a lot beneficial. They often overlooked minor offences like delay in renewing licence etc. He had managed to ask someone how HD looked like and he had shown him a photo on a mobile phone.

A silver Mercedes was coming towards them.

Khabri : Sir, yeh HD ki gaadi hai.

Abhijeet(Phones Daya): Daya, lagta hai woh aa raha hai. Silver Mercedes hai, parking ki taraf jaa raha hai.

Daya: Hum log aate hain...(disconnects). Sir, shaayad HD aa gaya..

ACP: Chalo, chalte hain...is baar woh bachkar nahin jaana chahiye. Main Anil aur Ajay ko bhi batata hoon.

Daya: Yeh dono kaun hai sir?

ACP: Mere naye CID officers. (And gave a smile...Daya gave an understanding nod)

The car crossed Abhijeet and the khabri and went towards the hotel's parking lot. A well dressed man got out and started walking towards he hotel's entrance.

Khabri : SIR!!! Yeh HD nahin hai.

Abhijeet : Kya??? Phir kaun hai?

Khabri : Lagta hai uska koi aadmi hai.

(The guy in the car was HD's right hand Chintu. He had come there to check if everything was ok and whether it was safe for HD to come.)

Abhijeet thought that if they killed or arrested this guy, they would lose one chance of meeting HD and HD would know that they were all alive. They had to let this guy go and follow him. He again called Daya but got an 'out or range' message. (Daya was in the lift)

By then Anil and Ajay were out of the hotel in the parking lot. They were very eager to prove themselves. Abhijeet saw them running towards Chintu.

Abhijeet: Yeh dono kaun hai, hain????

Khabri: Sir yeh CID ke naye inspectors hain. Maine ACP sir ke saath dekha tha inhe.

Abhijeet : Saara plan kharab kar diya.

Anil and Ajay rushed towards Chintu, placed guns on Chintu's head and said 'HD, you are under arrest'. Chintu was smarter. He pushed them aside and ran towards some bushes. Ajay and Anil started shooting. Chintu started shooting and there was some exchange of bullets. Chintu shouted to the driver to get his car. The driver was coming towards them, when a bullet hit him.

Abhijeet thought fast. He had an idea. He had to take a big risk. That was the only way they could catch HD. He was anyway dressed as a paan-wala.

He ran towards Chintu's car. Ajay and Anil were still shooting. He pulled the dead driver out and drove the car towards Chintu. Daya and ACP had arrived by then. Chintu got into the car and Abhijeet drove him off to safety.

ACP: Ajay, Anil, yeh kya kar rahe the? Humare aane tak ruk nahin sakte the tum?

Daya: Sir...Abhijeet us car mein kya kar raha hai? Woh HD ko bachakar le jaa raha hai.

Khabri(came running towards him): ACP saab, woh HD nahin tha. Abhijeet sir ne kaha hai ki woh HD ke gang mein shaamil hone wale hain.

ACP: Kya??? Isme toh bohot khatra hai. Kahin HD ko pata chal gaya toh...

Daya: ...toh woh Abhijeet ko zinda nahin chodega sir!!!

(End of part 3)

Ajay: Sir, kya woh Abhijeet sir the???

Daya: Haan...Abhijeet wahan paan wale ke bhes mein khada tha.

Anil: Sir...mujhse ek bohot badi galti ho gayi.

ACP: Woh pata hai humein...tum logon ne itni jaldbaazi kyon dikhayi? Humare aane tak intezaar nahin kar sakte the?

Anil: Sorry sir...lekin baat kuch aur hai.

ACP: Kya???

Anil: Shaayad Abhijeet sir ke pair mein goli lagi hai.

Daya: KYA!!! Tumne use goli maari?

Anil: Haan sir, galti ho gayi. Maine socha ki woh HD ka aadmi hai.

ACP and Daya were shocked and worried.

Scene : Car.

Abhijeet was driving at full speed. His left leg hurt. The bullet had just gone past his leg...it was not inside. The new CID officers were not that sharp. He was lucky - in more than one way. The wound would help in gaining access to HD. He could win this guy's confidence first.

Abhijeet: Kahan jaaon saab?

Chintu : Tum ho kaun? Aur tumne meri jaan kyon bachayi?

Abhijeet: Saab main ek driver hoon...isse pehle main ek bade Don ka driver reh chuka hoon.Maine dekha ki police wale aapko pakadne wale the, toh maine aapko bacha liya.

Chintu: Lekin kyon? Tum us hotel ke paas kya kar rahe the?

Abhijeet: Kaam ki talaash mein hoon saab. Main isse pehle jis Don ka driver tha, unhe ACP Pradyuman ne pakad liya. Mujhe kahin aur kaam nahin mil raha tha...kisi ko bata nahin sakta na, ki pehle kahan kaam karta tha... Main kisi Don ka hi driver ban sakta hoon. Maine aapko dekhte hi pehchaan liya tha ki aap bhi ek 'underworld' ke aadmi hain.

Chintu: Tumhe aaj meri jaan bachayi...tumhe iska inaam milega. Tumhara naam kya hai?

Abhijeet: Saab, mera naam Pankaj hai.

Chintu: Pankaj, tumhare pair mein toh chot lagi hai.

Pankaj : Haan saab...humara kaam hi kuch aisa hai...hum goli khaane se nahin darte saab. Main jaanta hoon ki kisi Don ke driver banne mein kitna khatra hai. Batayiye, kahan jaaon.

Chintu was impressed. Told him to go to ...

(End of part 4)

Scene : Back at the hotel

Daya had tried Abhijeet's mobile several times, but there was no response. He knew Abhijeet couldn't speak in front of HD's guy, but at least he could let him know that he was ok.

ACP(on phone to Ajay): Jaldi bataao, Abhijeet ka mobile is waqt kahan hai

Ajay(from bureau): Kuch pata nahin chal raha hai sir...Mumbai ka poora map mere saamne hai sir. Abhijeet sir ka number kahin bhi dikhai nahin de raha hai.

ACP: Dekhte raho...jaldi pata karo.

(Angrily cuts the phone)

In dono ko ek mobile ka location pata karna nahin aata hai.

Daya: Sir maine bhi koshish ki..lekin operator bata rahi hai ki Abhijeet ka number switched off hai.

ACP: Is Abhijeet ko bhi kabhi kabhi pata nahin kya ho jaata hai. Nikal pada akele HD ke gang me ghusne. Aur apna mobile phone 'off' kyon kar diya hai? Ab hum kaise pata karenge ki woh hai kahan...

Daya: Sir...pata nahin woh Zinda hai bhi ya nahin...kahin un logon ko pata toh nahin chala hai...

ACP(calls Ajay): Tumne us Mercedes ka number note kiya than a...pata karo ki woh car kiske naam registered hai.

Ajay(calls back after some time): Sir maine RTO se pata kiya hai... woh number nakli hai.

Scene : Car

Abhijeet reached the destination Chintu had told him. He had switched off his mobile as he didn't want to receive calls from Daya and ACP while he was with Chintu. He knew they would call to find out if he was ok .

It was a huge bungalow with several security men in uniforms.

Chintu: Ramesh, doctor ko phone karo. Yeh Pankaj hai...ise humare quarters le jaao.

Abhijeet entered the outhouse with 5-6 rooms meant for servants and drivers. The doctor arrived and bandaged his leg. He was about to close the door and switch on his mobile when a tough looking guy came in.

Guy: humare saath chalo.

Pankaj: Kahan?

Guy: Sawaal mat pooch. Chintu saab ne tumhe kahin aur le jaane ke liye kaha hai. Aur haan...apna mobile phone yahin chod do...jahan tum kaam karne wale ho, wahan mobile phone allowed nahin hai.

Pankaj: Kya? Theek hai...(and for a moment switched on his mobile, erased everything from the memory, switched it off and left it in the room)

Pankaj was blindfolded, and made to sit in a car and taken with 3-4 people to an unknown location.

Scene: Hotel

Daya: Sir!!! Abhijeet ka mobile 10 seconds ke liye on hua. Woh ... address mein hai.

ACP: Chalo chalte hain.

Scene : Chintu's bungalow.

Daya in disguise stays in the Qualis. ACP goes in with Anil and Ajay and rings the bell. A lady opens the door.

Lady: Kahihe...kaun hai aap?

ACP: Main ACP Pradyuman. Ek mobile number hai 9985813011. Yeh number isi ghar mein hai.

Lady: Lekin yeh humara number nahin hai.

ACP: humne mobile company se pata kiya hai, yeh number yahin par hai. Humein ghar ki talaashi leni hogi.

Lady : Lekin yeh number kiska hai?

ACP: Ek chor ka hai. Humein lagta hai ki woh chor isi ghar mein aaya hai.

Lady: Yahan koi chor nahin hai sir...phir bhi, aap talaashi le lijiye.

ACP, Anil and Ajay search the whole house, but find nothing. ACP looks around for other suspicious things, but doesn't find anything. It looked like a normal house with decent people.

ACP: Maaf kijiye...ab yeh phone yahan nahin hai. Waise aapke pati ka naam kya hai aur woh kahan hai?

Lady:Unka naam Sunil Sharma hai aur woh office gaye hain.

ACP: Kaunsa office?

Lady: Humara ek garments ka factory hai...yeh hai address..(and gives a business card).

ACP: Theek hai, thank you.

There was nothing suspicious there. ACP checked the office and everything seemed true.

Back in the Qualis.

ACP: Daya, Abhijeet yahan aaya zaroor tha. Lekin bina kisi saboot ke hum kya kar sakte hain? Anil, tum is ghar par nazar rakho. Aur is baar koi galti nahin honi chahiye.

Scene : An unknown house

Pankaj's blindfold is opened. He found himself in a room.

Pankaj: Main kahan hoon.

Guy: Jab HD sir ko time milega, woh tumhari interview lenge. Tab tak tum yahin rahoge. Aur yahan se bhaagne ki koshish mat karna. Yahan CCTV camera laga hua hai. Bhook lagi ho toh yeh bell baja dena, tumhare liye ek aadmi khaana lekar aayega.

Pankaj: Lekin...

The guy left without answering.

Abhijeet looked around the room. It was a decent room but he could see that there were 4 cameras in the room and he couldn't move a finger without being noticed. The room had no windows, no ventilation, but had an AC, TV and a comfortable bed. He wondered where he was and what was happening. He looked at the bathroom, but that had no ventilators too. He was literally trapped.

2 days passed. Abhijeet was ok, but feeling suffocated/bored inside a closed room. He watched the news, where they were still talking about the death of the entire CID team and how ACP Pradyuman was still struggling to find out the whereabouts of HD.

He himself had not yet met HD and even if he did, he didn't know how he was going to inform his teammates and most importantly - he had no idea where he was. He was cut off from he rest of the world.

(End of part 5)

Scene : Hotel

Daya : Sir 2 din ho gaye..aur hum Abhijeet ya HD ke baare mein kuch pata nahin kar sake. Sir, Aakhir yeh HD hai kaun??

ACP: Daya...yeh baat meri dimaag mein pehle kyon nahin aayi!!!

Daya: Kya sir?

ACP: Abhijeet ka woh khabri...usne HD ka photo dekha hai kisi ke mobile phone mein. Use bureau bhejo aur sketch banvaao. Dekhte hain ki yeh HD dikhta kaise hai. Shaayad humare records mein kisi se match ho jaaye...

The sketch is ready in a few hours.

ACP(Shocked): Yeh???? Yeh HD hai?

Khabri: Haan saab, HD ka ek aadmi mere bar mein aaya tha, usne apne mobile mein mujhe uska photo dikhaya tha.

Daya: Kya hua sir...aap ise pehchante hain?

ACP: Haan...yeh ek purana CID officer hai. Mere saath 20 saal pehle kaam karta tha. (And tells Daya the history) Toh yeh ab don ban gaya hai...

Phone rings...

ACP: Haan Anil, kya hua?

Anil: Sir jo aadmi us din Hotel mein HD ke car mein aaya tha...woh abhi abhi is ghar ke andar gaya hai.

ACP: Achcha...tum wahin raho hum aate hain. Daya. Mujhe pata tha ki us ghar mein kuch toh gadbad hai. Chalo chalte hain.

Scene: Chintu's bungalow.

Qualis arrives, ACP again rings the bell.

Lady: Oh, toh aap phir se aa gaye.

ACP: haan...humein pata hai ki yahan ek mujrim chupa hua hai.

Lady: Kaun mujrim?

ACP: Hum uska naam nahin jaante hain, lekin humein pata hai ki woh ek criminal hai aur ek underworld don ke saath mila hua hai. Usne humare do CID officers par goli chalayi hai.

Lady: Tameez se baat kijiye. Yahan koi underworld ka aadmi nahin hai. Aap chahe toh phir se talaashi le sakte hain.

ACP again does a full search, finds some photographs of her 'husband' Sunil, but it didn't match with the guy who had come to Star and moon Hotel 2 nights ago. ACP is again forced to go out.

Daya: Sir samajh mein nahin aa raha hai ki yeh chakkar kya hai.

ACP: Tum Anil ko phone karo.

Daya: haan sir...(dials Anil's number) Sir, phone baj raha hai, lekin woh nahin utha raha hai.

ACP: Ek minute...ringtone baj rahi hai...

And they follow the sound and reach some bushes on the roadside, where the phone is found, but no sign of Anil.

Daya: Sir yeh dekhiye, khoon...aur ghasitne ke nishaan.

ACP: Toh in logon ne Anil ko bhi kidnap kar kiya!!!

(End of part 6)

Scene : Abhijeet's room

Guy: Pankaj, tumhare liye ek achchi khabar hai.

Pankaj: Kya hai??

Guy: HD saab aaj tumse milenge aur tumhara interview lenge. Woh khush ho gaye, toh tum unke khaas aadmi ban jaaoge.

Pankaj: Bhaisaab...aap kuch bata sakte hain ki interview mein kya poochi jaati hai??? Please...

Guy: Tumhe gun chalana aata hai?

(Abhijeet not sure what to answer)

Pankaj: Kyon? HD ka driver banne ke liye gun chalana zaroori hai?

Guy: Aur nahin toh kya...ek don ke driver ko gun chalana zaroor aana chahiye...tumhe aata hai na????

Pankaj: hmmm...haan haan...koshish karoonga...pata nahin mera nishana kitna achcha hai.

Guy: Bohot achcha...HD tumhe ek target denge...agar goli nishane par lag gayi toh samjho tumhari naukri pakki.

Pankaj : Theek hai...hmmm...bhaisaab...ab der kis baat ki hai?

Guy: Jab HD saab aayenge, tab Chintu saab mujhe phone karenge. Tab main tumhe wahan lekar jaaoonga.

Pankaj : Phone? Maine suna tha ki yahan phone rakhna mana hai?

Guy: Woh rule tumhare jaise naye logon ke liye hai.

Pankaj: Achcha? Toh aapke paas mobile hai?

Guy: Haan...yeh dekho, latest model Iphone hai...isme sab kuch hai email/facebook/twitter/music player/games ' sab hai...cricket match bhi dekh sakte hain isme.

Pankaj: Arey waah...cricket match bhi???? Dikhao zara...

Guy: Dekho...India aur Australia ke beech mein match chal rahi hai.

Pankaj: Waah...kya phone hai...mujhe yahan naukri lag gayi toh main bhi khareedoonga.

Abhijeet had to somehow divert the guy's attention and send an sms...that would be enough.

(End of part 7)

He tried for some time but the guy was observing his every move. After some time,

Abhijeet: bhai saab...ek request hai.

Guy: Kya?

Abhijeet: Dekho main 10 din se ghar nahin gaya hoon...meri biwi pareshaan hogi. Kahin usne mere baare mein police mein report kiya toh museebat ho jaayegi.

Guy: Toh???

Abhijeet: Main apni biwi ko ek sms bhej deta hoon.

Guy: theek hai...lekin mujhe dikhaao kya type kar rahe ho.

Scene: National Lodge

A room where everyone was sitting, waiting for ACP.

ACP: Kaise ho sab log?

Freddie: Hum sab theek hain sir. Sir, suna hai aapne do naye officers ko CID mein le liya hai.

ACP: Haan...main aur kya karta?

Freddie: Toh is case ke baad kya karenge sir? Unhe rakh lenge ya humme se kisi ko transfer kar denge?

Daya: Nahin Freddie, tumhe pata hai ACP sir tumhe kitna miss kar rahe the?

Freddie: Sir, aap mujhe miss kar rahe the?

ACP: Haan... tumhare alava bureau ke gate se media walon ko kaun bhaga sakta hai?

Everyone smiles after a long time...but their worries were not over yet. Abhijeet and Anil were missing.

Suddenly Daya's phone gives an sms tone.

Daya: Ajeeb sms hai sir..."Main abhi theek hoon. Aaj 5 baje interview hone wali hai. Tumse jald mulakat hogi ' Pankaj'.

Freddie: Yeh Pankaj kaun hai sir? Koi khabri?

Daya: Nahin...main kisi Pankaj ko nahin jaanta. Hmmm...ek minute. Sir! Yeh Abhijeet ka message hai...dekhiye kya likha hai 'Main Abhi ...'.

ACP:5 baje interview hone wali hai??? Iska matlab 5 baje woh HD se milne wala hai.

Chalo, is mobile number ko trace karo.

Scene : Abhijeet's room

Abhijeet enjoying playing the game. The guy was sort of dozing off when the phone rings. The guy suddenly wakes up.

Guy: Hello sir...haan sir.

Pankaj...chalo.

Scene : A big hall.

Abhijeet saw fake note printing machines, smuggled goods and a lot of illegal stuff.

Chintu was there. There were 3-4 guys with guns. The guy who was with him in his room went out.

Chintu: Aao Pankaj...aaj tumhara interview hone wala hai. Yeh gun le lo...

...aur hum jo target denge, uspar fire karo.

Pankaj: Sir, HD sir kahan hai?

Chintu: Woh yahin hain...apne kamre mein baithkar tumhe dekh rahe hain.

(And then shouts)Target laao

A guy walked in with a gun placed on another guy whose hands were tied. And to his shock, the guy was none other than Anil.

Pankaj: Yeh kya???

Chintu: Yeh hai tumhara target.

Pankaj: Yeh????

Chintu: Haan...tumne ise pehchaana??? Yeh wohi CID officer hai jisne tumhare pair mein goli maari thi. Chalo ab tum isse badla lo...shoot kar do ise.

Abhijeet had never faced such a big dilemma before. No matter what, one thing he would never do is to shoot another CID officer.

Scene: Outside the garments factory

ACP: Vivek, hum isse pehle yahan aa chuke hain...tumhe yakeen hai woh mobile yahin hai?

Vivek: haan sir, signal bohot strong hai.

ACP: Chalo dekhte hain...

The enter the garments factory and find that the signal is coming from the basement parking lot. Daya calls the number. A loud ringtone booms from a corner. Daya rushes towards the guy.

Daya; Abhijeet kahan hai?

Guy: Kaun Abhijeet?

Daya: Mera matlab Pankaj.

Guy: Kaun Pankaj???? Aur tum kaun ho?

Daya: CID.

The guy pushes Daya away and tries to run...Daya chases him catches him by the collar and...PHAAAT!!!

Guy: HD..yahan...

Suddenly someone fires and he dies...

Daya: Sachin...wahan dekho koi bhaag raha hai...pakdo use!!!!

ACP: Kya hua, kuch bataya isne???

Daya: Nahin sir, usne sirf 'yahan' kaha.

ACP: Toh shaayan HD yahin hai.. SAB LOG PHAIL JAAO...DHOONDO.

After some searching, Daya finds a door which opened into an underground staircase. The CID team sneaked in and reached down to a tiny room which had a window from where they could see the hall.

Scene: Hall.

Abhijeet : Yeh kya? Main ise goli maroon??? Main kisi ka khoon nahi kar sakta.

Chintu; Tum toh bohot bahdur the...keh rahe the ki goli khaane se nahin darte...is aadmi ne tumpar goli chalayi aur tum isse goli marne se dar rahe ho? Theek hai, ise main hi maar deta hoon.

Abhijeet had a gun in hand. As Chintu aimed at Anil, Abhijeet fired at Chintu's hand, but the gun was empty and Anil was killed on the spot.

Abhijeet; Hey...maar diya ise???

Chintu: Bohot takleef ho rahi hai, Sr Insp Abhijeet? Tumne socha ki humein bewakoof banayega? HD ne tumhe dekhte hi pehchaan liya tha. Ab tu bhi marega...

And aimed at Abhijeet's head...Exactly at that moment a bullet hit Chintu and he fell down. Daya rushed in. There was an exchange of fire and HD's men were captured.

ACP: Tum theek ho Abhijeet?

Abhijeet: Haan sir...lekin main ise nahin bacha saka. Sorry sir.

ACP: HD kahan hai?

Abhijeet: Sir Chintu keh raha tha ko woh yahin kahin se hume dekh raha hai.

Suddenly they hear the sound of a car going out of the parking lot.

ACP: Shaayad HD yahan se nikal gaya. Chalo jaldi...

Scene: Road

HD drove away in his Silver Mercedes, CID followed in the Qualis. It was almost 7PM. The traffic was at its peak and on the eve of Dushera, the crowd was even more than usual. The Qualis and HD's Mercedes got stuck in a traffic jam.

Abhijeet: Sir, Vivek aur main paidal jaakar HD ko pakad lete hain... is traffic jam mein woh bhi phas gaya hoga.

Abhijeet and Vivek got off the quails and walked through the heavy traffic which was moving at snail's pace.. They finally reached HD's car and found that there was no HD there. Abhijeet called ACP.

ACP: haan Abhijeet???

Abhijeet: Sir, gaadi mein HD nahin hai...lagta hai nikal gaya.

ACP(Bangs the phone in frustration): HD humare haath aate aate nilkal gaya!!!

Daya: Par woh is traffic mein achanak kahan gaya sir?

...and Daya looked to his right. On the other side of the road, on the footpath there was HD walking fast in the opposite direction. The traffic on this side was heavy and the U turn was very far off. Daya opened the door of the Quails, jumped over the high road divider and crossed over to the other side. HD saw Daya and started running. Daya chased HD through the crowded market filled with people doing last minute shopping on Dushera eve. He couldn't shoot as there was too much of a crowd and there was the danger of hitting someone. Daya called ACP and gave him an idea of where he was.

It was a very long chase for 3-4 kilometers of heavy traffic, narrow bylanes and brightly lit shops.

Finally HD reached a foot overbridge near a railway station and went over it. Daya chased him up. When HD was at the top, he saw Abhijeet coming up from the other end of the overbridge. He was cornered. He caught a girl who was walking past and put a gun on her head.

HD: Ruk jaao, warna goli maar doonga.

Daya: Hey, chod do use...(and points the gun at him)

HD: Main jaanta hoon tum CID wale is ladki ki jaan zaroor bachana chahoge. Apna gun neeche phenk do. Aur mujhe jaane do.

Daya and Abhijeet put their guns down. HD caught the girl and walked towards the other end of the overbridge with Daya and Abhijeet watching helplessly.

Abhijeet (suddenly looked towards behind HD and shouted): ACP sir, aap yahan!!!

HD turned around to see ACP, his attention was diverted away from the girl. Daya jumped forward and gave HD a hard kick. HD fell backwards and Abhijeet pulled out the gun from his hand.

Daya pulled HD up by the collar and ...PHAAAT!!!

ACP: Hemanth...kaise ho??? Tum Sr Inspector Hemanth se Underworld don Harpees Dungaroo kaise bane?

HD explains his story about how he was dumped by all his old friends and the only person who gave him work was an underworld don. For 10 years he worked with the Don. After his death HD became the head of the empire and the first thing he wanted was to get revenge.

HD: Pradyuman...agar tum us din mujhe jail nahin bhejte, toh main shaayad don nahin banta. Main bhi CID mein rehta, shaayad tumhare jaisa koi ACP. Yeh sab tumhari wajah se hua.

ACP(Had no answer to HD's accusation): Daya, le jaao ise.

ACP was silent for a few seconds and pondered at the HD's accusation. What could he have done? He couldn't see a colleague do illegal stuff and keep shut about it. The problem was with the world. Once a criminal always a criminal. Hemanth shouldn't have started accepting bribes in the first place. It was his own fault. Having convinced himself, ACP walked towards the Qualis.

Funny OS for Dare to challenge contest.

Daya walks into the new bureau, late at night after a 15 day trip. He had just arrived from Delhi after attending a high profile meeting related to a big case.As soon as he walks in, someone calls out: Welcome Sr Inspector Daya apna haath scanner ke oopar rakho, tabhi bureau ka darwaza khulega.

Daya: 😕 Kya scanner? Aaj tak main kabhi scanner lagaake nahi aaya. Yeh mera bureau hai...17 saalon se kaam kar raha hoon. (looks around) Aur kaunse darwaze ki baat kar rahe ho? Mujhe koi darwaaza nahi dikh raha hai.

Voice: Yeh ek invisible darwaaza hai.

Daya: Kya invisible daraawza? 😕

(Thinks for some time)

Oh...ab samjha...Abhijeet, tum aur baaki team members mere saath mazaak kar rahe ho. 🤣

Lekin tum sab ho kahan? Baahar niklo

Voice: Sr Inspector Daya, you have 1 minute remaining.

Daya: Abhijeet,bohot ho gaya mazaak. Main aa raha hoon.

...and walks into the bureau...but an invisible door bangs into his face. And he's thrown out into the corridor.

Daya(to himself): Shaayad ACP sir ne koi naya security system install kiya hai.

(aloud): Theek hai boss. bataao, scanner kaha hai?Voice: Invisible darwaaze ke left side mein.

Daya: Lekin yahan koi scanner nahi hai?

Voice: Yeh scanner bhi invisible hai...gestures se kaam karta hai. Bas hawa mein 2 baar haath hilaao jaise tata karte ho. Tumhara haath scan ho jaayega.

Daya does as told. Nothing realy happens.

Voice: User authenticated! Sr Insp Daya can now enter.

Daya enters to find all the furniture missing.

Voice: Confusion detected. Sr Inspector Daya, main aapki koi madad karoon?

Daya: Abhijeet, please...main Delhi se abhi abhi aaya hoon, long weekend ki wajah se flight mein ticket nahi mili. Non-AC , sleeper class mein safar karke aaya hoon...thak gaya hoon. Please mazaak mat karo.

Voice: Main Abhijeet nahi hoon, main ek robot hoon. Is poore bureau ko main hi control karta hoon.

Daya: 😕 (to himself) Lagta hai Salunkhe sir ka koi naya experiment hai.

(aloud): Theek hai, mana ki tum robot ho. Ab mujhe yeh bataao ki mera desk aur computer kahan hai?

Voice: Sab invisible hain. Jahan tumhara seat hona chahiye, wahan baith jaao.

Daya: Aise kaise baith jaaon? Yeh koi school ka punishment hai kya, homework na karne par teacher bachchon ko aise hi bithathi hai.

Voice: Nahi...jahan tum baithoge wahan chair apne aap aa jaayega.

Daya: Achcha??? Dekhta hoon

Daya goes to where his seat is supposed to be and sits'. Automatically Daya feels an invisible chair underneath his legs.

Daya: Theek hai. Ab yeh bataao, mera laptop kahan hai?

Voice: Yahan koi laptop nahi hai. Hawa mein haath hilaao aur socho ki tumhe computer se kya information chahiye, tumhare saamne ek screen aur keyboard apne aap aa jaayega.

Daya does as told...and true to the robot's words, a screen and keyboard appear and he is able to access all his files.

Daya: Robot, yeh toh kamaal ho gaya.

Daya works for 5 minutes, transferring the case details from his pen drive into the laptop-in-air. (An invisible USB port appears, you know...)

Suddenly the lights in the bureau flicker and the power goes off! Daya's laptop vanishes, everything goes dark...and worst of all...Daya's invisible chair too vanishes and he falls down on the floor with a BANG!

Daya(in pain): Hello, Robot...kya ho gaya? Tumhara koi generator nahi hai kya?

No response.

Daya: Hellooo...

Meanwhile Daya's phone rings. He sees DCP Chitroley's number.

Daya: Hello sir

Chitroley: Main 2 ghante se tumhare report ka intezaar kar raha hoon. Kya kar rahe ho?

Daya: Sir main bhejne hi wala tha ki bureau mein light chali gayi.

Chitroley: Mujhe koi excuses nahi chahiye. 15 minute mein report bhejo warna...

Daya: Theek hai sir...main kuch karta hoon.

Daya walks out of the bureau in pitch darkness, using his mobile's flashlight. He meets the security guy

Daya: Humare CID bureau ko kya ho gaya? 15 dino mein sab badal gaya hai.

Security: Haan sir, DCP Chiroley ne bureau ko refurnish kiya hai.

Daya: Lekin humare tables, chairs aur laptops kahan hai?

Security: Darasal DCP sir sab kuch raddi wale ko dena chahte the, lekin Abhijeet sir ko pata tha ki yeh naya bureau zyada din nahi tikega isliye unhone sab cheezon on basement ke store room mein daal diya hai.

Daya: Achcha? Store room ki chaabi de do.

The security guy gives it.

Daya opens and enters the store room - actually quite a large room, which is jampacked with all the old furniture which CID team had used over the years and old records. Daya manages to wade through all the furniture and find a table and a chair placed on top of it. He clears some of the gunny bags containing old unwanted evidences and brings the chair down. He then proceeds to the cupboard looking for his laptop. He fails to find it.

Daya: Ab mera laptop kahan hai!!! 😕 Abhijeet se poochta hoon.

Voice: Abhijeet se kya poochte ho? Mujse poocho...bhool gaye...12 saal pehle tum mujhse poochte the...car ke owner ka naam, sketch se criminal record...ab tumhe meri zaroorat nahi?

Daya: Kaun ho tum?Voice: Main tumhara purana desktop...running windows 98. Bhool gaye? Meri wajah se tum us company ke logo ko dhoond sake, jisme woh ladka Karan band tha!

Daya: Main kaise bhool sakta hoon? bohot achchi tarah yaad hai.

Computer: Uske baad tumhara LCD screen wala computer aa gaya aur tumne mujhe yahan fek diya!

Daya: Dekho...tumara RAM sirf 32MB hai aur hard disk...sirf 2GM. Aajkal ke processing ke liye kaafi nahi hai. Pata hai...aaj kal ke computers mein RAM 4GM hota hai aur hard disk 1TB.

Computer: Haan haan... aur power off hone par sab gaayab...aur purane laptop ko dhoondte dhoondte yahan aa gaye tum. Meri baat suno...mujhe table par rakho...aur on karo...tumhara kaam main bhi kar sakti hoon.

Daya: Lekin yahan power nahi hai. Tum kaise kaam karogi?

Voice: Main hoon na!!!

Daya: Tum kaun?

Voice: Main tumhara purana UPS, jo apne desktop ke saath istemaal karte the, mujhme abhi bhi taakat hai!!!

Daya : Achcha? Theek hai, aazmaake dekhta hoon.

Daya connects the desktop to the UPS and switches on. Luckily there seemed to be some power in left.

The computer starts up with the Windows 98 tone. Daya smiles.

He quickly sends the required files to DCP (through Internet Explorer 4)

Daya: Thank you so much...aaj tum nahi hote toh DCP mujhe suspend kar deta.

Computer: Toh mujhe waapis bureau le jaao na? 😛

Daya: Sorry...tum samajhte nahi ho...tumhara configuration outdated hai.

Computer: Lekin aaj tumhara naya config wala robot kya kiya?

Arey friends...tum log chup kyon ho...sirf main hi boloon kya?

Daya: Kaun friends? 😕

Voice: Main!!! Wohi chair jispar tum baithe ho! Neeche gira nahi diya tumhe! Invisible chair sab bekaar hai. Current chali gayi toh kamar toot jaayegi.

Daya: Baat toh tum sahi keh rahe ho. Shaayad main DCP sir se kehkar tumhe waapis le jaaoonga.

Chair: 😃 Thank you!!!!

Table: Aur mera kya hoga?Lakdi ke chair par baithkar apne invisible computer par kaam karoge? Tumhe yaad hai? Main wohi table hoon jispar tum, Asha aur Abhijeet lunch karte the

Daya: Haan, woh din hi kuch aur the...mujhe woh purana bureau hi achcha lagta tha. ACP sir ka ek cabin hota tha...usme ek table, revolving chair...

TV: Aur Ek TV bhi...mujhe kaise bhool gaye Daya? Maine kitne cases mein tum logon ki madad ki thi?

Daya: Haan...jab ACP sir aur Salukhe ko terrace par hostage banaya tha...toh tumhi ne hume bataaya ki wahan kya ho raha hai.

TV: Aur tumhe yaad hai main yahan kaise aaya? 😉

Daya: 😆 Tab main hospital mein tha. Kisi ne logon ko khabar di thi ki CID team sabko purane eletronic items ke badle mein naye items dene wale hain. 🤣 Aur tumhare andar hi toh hume us 3 ungliyon wale criminal ka fingerprint mila tha!

TV: Haan... Freddie sir ne mujhe theek kar diya. 😊 Actually ACP sir iske khilaaf the, lekin Freddie sir ko office mein cricket dekhna tha isliye unhone ACP sir ko samjha bujhaakar mujhe bureau mein rakh liya. Lekin ab shaayad mera time aa gaya...😭

Daya: Arey yeh kya keh rahe ho? Woh Robot se chalne wala bureau zyaada din tikne wala nahi hai. Isliye Abhijeet ne tum sabko yahan rakha hai. Dekh lo 2 hafte mein tum sab waapas bureau mein aa jaaoge

Whiteboard:Mujhe bhi waapas jaana hai...yaad hai maine kitni madad ki hai CID team ki? Poora Mumbai sheher ko bacha liya tha maine. Mere oopar 571E1115 likha tha? Aur Anushka mere saamne khadi thi jab ACP sir ke dimaag ki batti jali thi.

Daya: Of course...tumhare bina CID bureau ho hi nahi sakta.

Computer: Toh friends...Daya sir hume bureau mein waapas le jaayenge!

All of them: Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!!!

Daya: 😕 Yeh kya...main 10 tables kaise le jaa sakta hoon? Humare bureau mein itni jagah nahi hai.

Table 1:Main sabse senior hoon. Main jaaonga!

Table 2: Nahi, mere paas electric connections hain...isliye laptops mere oopar rakh sakte hain. Main jaaonga

Table 3:. ...

Table 4: ...

...

Old black Landline phone: RRRINNNGGG, main jaaonga. Mobile phones humesha out of charge rehti hain. Mujhe power ki zaroorat nahi hai! Mujhe le jaao

Old nokia cell: Mujhe kaise bhool sakte ho! Maine hi tumhare ghar se Hariya ki aawaaz ACP sir ko sunayi thi. Tumne mujhe thank you tak nahi bola!

Camera phone milte hi Abhijeet ne mujhe fek diya! 😭 Tumne kuch nahi kaha Abhijeet se!!! 😡

All of them together: WE WANT JUSTICE! WE WANT JUSTICE!

Daya: Dekho...main DCP sir se baat karta hoon...mujhe ab nilakna hai!

All of them(louder): WE WANT JUSTICE, WE WANT JUSTICE

Daya (to himself): Yeh kaisi museebbat mein phas gaya! 😕

Daya tries to walk out when the store room's door closes by itself and locks.

Daya: Yeh kya?? 😲 Mujhe jaane do!

Door: Main un saare darwaazon ki taraf se tumse badla lene aaya hoon jinko tumne toda hai! 😡 Main tumhe jaaane nahi doonga!

Daya: 😲 😲

Daya tries to push open the latch, but it's too tight to open. Finally Daya does what he's best at. He raises his leg and gives a hard kick. The door opens.

Amid shouts of WE WANT JUSTICE, WE WANT JUSTICE' Daya runs out, starts his Bullet and drives out at top speed. Suddenly he hears a VROOOMMM' behind him. It's the old CID Qualis.

Qualis: Main tumhe jaane nahi doongi Daya...main tumhare saare sukh dukh mein tumhara saath diya tha. Naye Innova aate hi mujhe bhool gaye! Kam se kam hafte mein ek baar mujhe lekar investigation karne jaate!!! 😭

Daya(driving, shouts): Dekho...yeh mera decision nahi tha. ACP sir ne kaha ki 7 saal se puraane gaadiyan CID mein banned hain.

Qualis: Main tumhare ghar aa rahi hoon. Main tumhe jaane nahi doongi!!!

Daya accelerates to 120kmph. The Qualis too follows at 130 shouting maine tumse training li hai...tum mujhse bachkar jaa hi nahi sakte. VRROOOM'.

Daya turns his head to see if the Qualis is catching up with him when the bike's tyre gets punctured by a nail on the road and goes PHUSSS.

The Qualis catches up with him and the driver's side door opens. Andar aao' The Qualis says.

Daya: Nahi...mujhe jaane do!!!!

The Qualis door pulls Daya towards the driver's seat.

Daya resists saying: NAHIII...mujhe chodo'.

Daya hears his mobile ringing. He tries to pick it up. He feels inside his pocket but doesn't find it. The ringing becomes louder.

Daya: Meri mobile kahan gayi!!!

The Qualis door gets attached to his shoulder and starts pulling him inside.Inside he finds all the old objects sitting in the back seat and the passenger seats shouting WE WANT JUSTICE!'

Daya: AAAHHH, chodo mujhe !!!

The pulling and tugging continues.

Daya shouts: Kis baat ka badla le rahe ho mujhse???? Please mujhe chodo!!!!

Suddenly it starts raining. The Qualis continues to pull him inside.

Daya: Nahiii!!!! please!!!!! Chodo Mujhe!!!!!

Loud Voice: DAYAAA!!!!

Suddenly Daya sees a bright light...his eyes start watering in the sudden brightness. Slowly he looks at the source of the light. And realises that he's in his own bedroom... Abhijeet is shaking his shoulder to awaken him! Daya is in a daze for a couple of minutes and slowly comes back to the real world.

Abhijeet gives him a glass of water and says, kya hua Daya, koi bura sapna dekh rahe the kya'

Daya: Thank God...woh ek sapna tha!

Abhijeet: Kya sapna tha?

Daya: Poocho mat! Lekin tum yahan andar kaise aa gaye?

Abhijeet: Main darwaaze ka bell bajaa raha tha lekin tum darwaaza nahi khol rahe the. Tumhare padosi se pata chala ki raat se is building mein power chali gayi hai. Maine phone kiya toh tumhare chillane ki aawaaz aayi ki meri phone kahan hai, aaahhh chodo mujhe..' wagera. Maine soch tum kisi museebat mein ho. Isliye duplicate chaabi se darwaaza kholke andar aa gaya. Dekha toh tum neend mein chilla rahe the. Isliye muh par paani maara.

Daya: Oh...mujhe laga baarish ho rahi hai.

Abhijeet: Baarish? 😕 Sapne mein baarish ho rahi thi kya? 🤣

Daya: Mat poocho. DCP Chitroley ke naye bureau ne meri raaton ki neend kharab kar di hai! Humara woh puraana bureau hi theek tha. 😒

Abhijeet: 😒 Woh toh hai...

(OS for Abhijeet's contest)

The Birthday Cake

Scene : CID Innova

Daya driving back from bureau, after a hectic day filled with 2 different murder investigations. Abhijeet on the left side passenger seat. Abhijeet looking a bit deflated.

Daya: Kya hua boss, chehra utra hua kyon hai?

Abhijeet: Kuch nahi, bas aise hi.

Daya: 😆 Acha, sorry. Mujhe yaad hai aaj tumhara birthday hai. Kya karen..time hi nahi mila celebrate karne ke liye. Happy Birthday! 😃

Abhijeet: Thanks. Wish karne ke liye time mila yahi bohot badi baat hai.

Daya: Chalo dinner ke liye kahin bahar chalte hain.

Abhijeet: Lekin iss baar bill tumhe dena padega. Pichli baar...yaad hai na?

Daya: Boss...mujhe us Purvi ki yaad mat dilao. 😵

(This Purvi is Daya's ex-GF, not Insp Purvi)

Abhijeet: Theek hai, bill tumhe dena padega. Dekh lo...main apna purse yahin chod raha hoon.

...and leaves it in the car's dashbord.

Bill nahi diya toh tumhe hi bartan dhona pdega.

Daya: Dekh lenge. 😉

Abhijeet and Daya arrive at a restaurant. Daya parks and both of them walk towards the entrance.

Abhijeet: yeh kaunsi jagah hai? Isse pehle main kabhi yahan nahi aaya.

Daya: Naya restaurant hai. Freddie keh raha tha ki yahan ka khaana bohot achcha hai. Wife ke saath aaya tha kuch din pehle. Uske agle din subah se shaam tak is restaurant ki tareef kar raha tha.

Abhijeet: Achcha? Tab toh ek baar try karna padega.

Abhijeet and Daya ask for a table for 2, but since all 2-seaters were occupied they are shown to a 4-seater table in a corner.
Daya: Abhijeet, ek kaam karte hain. Ab 4-seater table mil hi gaya hai toh Freddie aur Sachin ko bhi bula lete hain. Tumhe koi problem toh nahi hai?

Abhijeet: Haan, haan...mujhe kya problem ho sakti hai? Bill toh tum hi de rahe ho na? 😉

Daya phones Freddie and Sachin, they both agree to arrive in 15 minutes.

The waiter arrives and both of them order starters to kill time till Freddie and Sachin arrive.

Abhijeet: Daya, main zara washroom jaake aata hoon. Mere haathon mein gunpowder laga hua hai. 😆

Daya: Maine bureau mein hi haath dho liya 😛

Abhijeet leaves.

The waiter now comes and places a cake on the table on which Happy Birthday Abhijeet' is written.

Daya: Yeh cake? Humne toh order nahi kiya...aapko kisne bataya ki mere dost ka naam Abhijeet hai aur aaj uska birthday hai?

Waiter: Survi madam ne kaha ki is table par yeh cake serve karo.

Daya: Survi? 😲 Woh aapki madam hai?

Waiter: Haan sir, woh is restaurant ki owner hai.

Daya: Achcha? Kahan hai woh?

Waiter: Sir, woh aapki office mein milengi. Office uss taraf hai. (and shows)

Abhijeet returns and is surprised to see the cake.

Abhijeet: Arey waah! Tumne yeh cake order kiya? 😛 Woh bhi mera favourite - black forest?

Daya: Woh...actually...

Abhijeet: Kya? Tumne Freddie aur Sachin ke saath milkar yeh plan kiya na? 😉

Daya(embarrassed grin): Freddie aur Sachin ko aane do. Unke aane ke baad hi cut karna!
Main zara washroom jaake aata hoon.

Abhijeet: Tumne toh bureau mein hi haath dho liya tha na?

Daya: Bas 2 minute mein aata hoon.

Daya walks towards the washroom, makes sure that Abhijeet isn't looking and walks towards the office which the waiter had shown.

Daya knocks.

Survi: Come in.

Daya walks in.

Survi: Oh aap?

Daya: Kaisi ho Survi?

Survi: Achchi hoon.

Daya: Woh toh dikh raha hai...😊 Tumne itna achcha restaurant jo khola hai.

Survi: Achcha hai ya nahi aap dinner karne ke baad batayiye.

Daya: Mujhe yakeen hai ki achcha hi hoga. BTW Pari kaisi hai? Tum log Pune chale gaye the...Mumbai kab aaye?

Survi: Pichle saal mere saas aur sasur - dono ka death ho gaya. Unhone apna saara property Pari ke naam kar diya. Isliye hum yahan chale aaye. Mujhe saalon se ichcha thi ki apne khud ka restaurant kholoon. Ab paise mil gaye toh maine yeh restaurant khol liya.

Daya: That's great 😊

BTW, tumhe Abhijeet ka birthday abhi bhi yaad hai?

Survi: Haan...main unka birthday kaise bhool sakti hoon?

Daya: Aakar ek baar mil lo Abhijeet se...

Survi: Nahi...rehne dijiye. Abhijeet ko mere baare mein kuch bhi yaad nahi. Bohot dard hota hai unse milkar.
Daya: Main samajh sakta hoon.

Survi: Aur main yeh bhi jaanti hoon ki woh mujhse milna nahi chahte.

Daya: Yeh tum kaise keh sakti ho?

Survi: Main unhe bohot achchi tarah jaanti hoon. Isliye unhone in 8 saalon mein ek baar bhi mujhe contact karne ki koshish nahi ki.

Main unhe unka favourite cake khila saki...yehi kaafi hai.

Daya: Hmmm...Anyway...tumhe yahan dekhkar achcha lag raha hai. All the best. Hum log yahan aate rahenge. 😊

Daya went back to the table.

Abhijeet: Kahan chale gaye the Daya? Itni der kyon laga di?

Daya: Main bas washroom gaya tha

Abhijeet: Jhoot mat bolo Daya. Tum doosri taraf se aa rahe the...wahan kyon chale gaye tum?

Daya: Jisne yeh cake deliver kiya - unhe thanks kehne gaya tha.

Abhijeet: Itna special thanks kyon? Woh toh unka kaam hai...

Daya: Yeh cake special hai Abhijeet. Darasal ise maine order nahi kiya.

Abhijeet: Phir kisne order kiya?

Daya: Kisi ne order nahi kiya. Is resaurant ke owner ne tumhare liye complimentary cake diya hai.

Abhijeet: Kyon? Owner mujhe jaanta hai?

Daya: Jaanta nahi, jaanti hai. Is restaurant ki owner Survi hai.

Abhijeet: Survi? Woh ...yahan...kab aayi?

Daya: Ek saal pehle.

Abhijeet: Oh...(looks embarrassed and confused)

Daya: Boss...woh tumse abhi bhi pyar karti hai.

Abhijeet: Toh main kya kar sakta hoon? Mujhe apne zindagi ka woh hissa yaad hi nahi hai.

Abhijeet was silent for some time. He felt guilty that he didn't remember Survi, but at the same time he couldn't suddenly force himself to love her back. He had moved on long ago and was happy that she had moved to Pune. Survi's sudden appearance in Mumbai would complicate matters.

Abhijeet: Daya, mujhe yahan kuch achcha nahi lag raha hai. Kahon aur chalen?

Daya: Come on Abhijeet. Freddie aur Sachin aate honge. Aur humne starters bhi order kiya hai. Ab bina khaye nikal jaana bad manners hai. Come on Abhijeet...cake cut karo...dinner khaao aur uske baad nikal jaao. Tumhe Survi se milne ke liye koi force nahi kar raha hai

Soon Freddie and Sachin arrived and there was no more talk of Survi. Abhijeet cut the cake and the 4 of them had a lovely dinner. Soon it was time to leave.

Daya, Freddie and Sachin moved towards the exit.

Abhijeet: Tum log jaao...main 2 minute mein aata hoon

Daya understood and smiled to himself.

Abhijeet went to the owner's cabin.

Survi(surprised): Aap?

Abhijeet: Cake ke liye thanks.

Survi: Kaise hain aap?

Abhijeet: Theek hoon. 😊 Pari kaisi hai?

Survi: Pari theek hai...woh ab college mein hai.

Abhijeet Aur...Aap kaisi hain?

Survi: 😆 aap'??? (shakes her head at the irony) Main bhi theek hoon.

Abhijeet: Aapne doosri shaadi ki?

Survi: Nahi...(laughs) woh filmon mein kehte hai na...'pyar sirf ek bhi baar hota hai'

Abhijeet: hmm...(embarrassed) .Restaurant bohot achcha hai...khaana bhi badhiya hai.

Survi: Sunkar achcha lag raha hai. 😊

Abhijeet: Main chalta hoon. Take care.

Survi: Aap bhi. Good night...aur Happy Birthday once again.

Abhijeet: Thank you.

Back at the Innova...

Freddie: Abhijeet sir...kahan chale gaye the?

Abhijeet: Bas restaurant manager ko cake ke liye thanks kehne gaya tha

Daya: Dobaara yahan aaoge?

Abhijeet: Khaana toh bohot achcha tha.

Daya: hmmm...😉

Abhijeet: Tum nahi sudhroge. 😆

Scene : Lab

Jaywanti enters.

Salunkhe: Aao Jaywanti.

Jaywanti: Sir, aapne mujhe yahan kyon bulaaya?

Salunkhe: Dekho Jaywanti, jahan par blast hua hai, wahan se hume ek toota hua mobile phone mila hai. Aur us mobile mein ek SD card hai, SD card mein kuch photographs mile hain, jisme tum dikhayi derahi ho.

Jaywanti: Kya??? 😲

Salunkhe: Haan dekho.

(Shows a picture of Jaywanti with a guy in a rather romantic' pose.)

Tumhe iske baare mein kuch kehna hai?

Jaywanti: Sir, woh...

Salunkhe: Tum iss aadmi ko jaanti ho?

Jaywanti: Haan sir. Woh mera dost hai.

Salunkhe: Dost? Dost toh hum sab bhi hai tumhare...humare saath kabhi aisa pose nahi diya!

Jaywanti: (Silent)

Salunkhe: Naam kya hai iska? Kahan rehta hai?

Jaywanti: Sir,yeh Amit hai. Hum ek doosre ko college ke dino se jaante hain.

Salunkhe: Aur?? Ek doosare ke kaafi kareeb lagte ho!

Jaywanti: Haan sir...hum dono March mein shaadi karne wale hain.

Salunkhe: Filhaal shaadi ka khayaal chod do. Ise jail hone wali hai.

Jaywanti: Sir aap aisa nahi kar sakte.

Salunkhe: Main zaroor aisa kar sakta hoon. Aur tumhe bhi is case mein suspect maana jaayega!

Jaywanti: Sir! Aap nahi jaante main kya kar sakti hoon.

Salunkhe: Kar lo jo karna hai.

Jaywanti : 😡

...and walks off angrily.

Scene : Bureau

DCP: Salunkhe, tumhari wajah se saboot gaayab ho gayi!

Salunkhe: Sir, maine iske baare mein kuch nahi jaanta.

DCP: Saboot kahan thi?

Salunkhe: Lab mein

DCP: Lab mein kaun kaun kaam karta hai?

Salunkhe: Main aur Tarika.

DCP: Tarika kahan hai?

Salunkhe: Goa gayi hai chuttiyan manane.

DCP: Toh bacha kaun?

Salunkhe: Sir, Jaywanti bhi lab mein aayi thi...mujhe kuch mila tha us chip mein.

DCP: Mujhe Jaywanti ke khilaaf kuch nahi sunna hai! Yeh chori kab hua tha? Time bataao.

Salunkhe: Shaam 5 aur 5:15 ke beech mein.

DCP: Shaam ko 5 aur 5:15 ke beech mein Jaywanti mere saath phone par baat kar rahi thi...aur maine uske phone ka location bhi track kiya hai...woh apne ghar mein thi. Tumhare lab mein nahi. Ab bacha kaun?

Salunkhe: Sirf main. Lekin maine uss chip ko gaayab nahi kiya! Aap dekh rahe hain, lab ke baahar lagaye gaye CCTV camera ke saath ched-chaad ki gayi hai. Uski tehkikaat karne ke bagair aap mujhe kyon phasaa rahe hain?

DCP: Tum chief forensic doctor ho. Camera par nazar rakhna bhi tumhara kaam hai.

Salunkhe: Sir, main apni naukri ke saath gaddari nahi karta!!!! AAP MERE SAATH AISE BAAT NAHI KAR SAKTE

DCP: Mere saath oonchi aawaaz mein baat karte ho? Main abhi ke abhi tumhe suspend karta hoon.

Salunkhe: Mujhe Pradyuman se baat karni hai.

DCP: Pradyuman ne tumhe bohot choot de rakhi hai...seniors se baat karne ki tameez nahi sikhayi hai! Use bhi dekh loonga! 😡

Salunkhe picks up his phone and dials ACP.

ACP: Haan Salunkhe, itni raat ko??? Kya hua? Mere haath ka bhindi khaana hai kya tumhe?

Salunkhe: Pradyuman, tum isi waqt CID bureau aa jaao.

ACP: Kyon? Kya hua?

Salunkhe: Mujhe DCP sir suspend kar rahe hain.

ACP: Kyon? Phone do unhe.

Salunkhe gives

ACP: Sir, aap mujhe batayie kya baat hai?

DCP: Forensic lab se woh chip jisme terrorists ke naam the -woh gaayab ho gayi hai!

ACP: KYA?

DCP: Haan, aur tum ghode bechke so rahe ho?

ACP: Nahi sir, mujhe pata nahi tha. Main abhi aa raha hoon.

Soon, ACP walks into the bureau.

ACP: Good evening sir. Yeh kaise hua Salunkhe?

Salunkhe: Pata nahi Pradyuman. Main chip ke oopar se fingerprint nikaalne ki koshish kar raha tha. 5 minute ke liye washroom gaya tha aur jab waapas aaya toh chip gaayab.

ACP: Sir, maine poori team ko bulaaya hai. Hum sab chor ko pakad lenge.

DCP: Main tumhe 24 ghante deta hoon. Tab tak Salunkhe suspension mein rahega. Agar chor ko pakad nahi sake toh tum log bhi kal suspend kiye jaaoge.

DCP leaves angrily.

ACP, Salunkhe:

Salunkhe: Pradyuman, yeh us ladki Jaywanti ka kaam hai. (and explains)

ACP: Ohhh! Theek hai. Dekhta hoon use.

(picks up his phone and first dials Abhijeet)

Abhijeet: Hello sir?

ACP: Abhijeet isi waqi tum aur Freddie Jaywanti par nazar rakho...kahan jaati hai, kisse milti hai...poori khabar chahiye hume

Abhijeet: Jaywanti par? Lekin kyon sir?

ACP explains.

Abhijeet: Ok sir

ACP next dials Daya.

Daya: Hello sir

ACP: Tum aur Sachin isi waqt forensic lab mein aa jaao. Lab mein chori hui hai, CCTV camera ko kharaab kar diya gaya hai.

Daya: Yes sir. 15 minute mein aata hoon

Fast forward to next day evening

Scene: Bureau

Salunkhe Pradyuman, tumhare team ne kuch pata nahi kiya. Main toh pehle hi suspend ho gaya hoon. Ab tumhara number bhi aayega.

DCP walks in.

ACP and Salunkhe stand up. (the bureau officially has no chairs but ACP managed to get some plastic Nilkamal chairs to sit)

DCP: Sahi kaha Salunkhe! Kya hua Pradyuman? Chor ka pata chala?

ACP: Nahi sir.

DCP: Mujhe pata tha. Isliye main tuhmara suspension order lekar aaya hoon. Kal raat ko hi type kiya tha maine.

ACP: Theek hai sir...kar lijiye jo karna hai.

Just as ACP was walking out, Abhijeet, Daya, Freddie and Sachin walk in.

Abhijeet : Sir, aap nahi jaa sakte 😭

Daya: 😭 Aapke bina CID adhoori hai.

Freddie: 😭 Sir, mujhe kaun daantega!!!! 😭

Sachin: Ek baat samajh mein nahi aayi. Chip ki chori hui toh aapki kya galti hai? 😭 Suspend toh hume karna chahiye!

ACP: CID ka bhavishya tum logo ke haath mein hai. Main jaa raha hoon. 😭

Abhijeet(rushes in): DCP Chitroley, aap aisa nahi kar sakte.

DCP: Mera naam le rahe ho? Daya, yeh zaroor peeke aaya hai. Muh soongho iska!

Daya: Aap mujhe yeh order nahi de sakte! Main Abhijeet ka muh soonghoonga toh sirf ACP ke orders par!

DCP: Tum dono mere orders ko nahi maanoge! Main tum dono bhi isi waqt suspend kar raha hoon

Abhijeet: Aap kya suspend kar rahe hain sir...main khud resignation de raha hoon

(tears a paper, writes a quick resignation and throws it on DCP's face)

DCP: Jaao jaao...mujhe tumhara chehra bureau ke aas paas bhi dikna nahi chahiye!

Abhijeet walks out

Daya: DCP Chitroley, aapne mere bhai ko nikaal diya? 😡 Yey lijiye mera resignation!

DCP: Kahan hai?

Daya: Whatsapp dekhiye...aa jaayega! (walks out)

Freddie: Main bhi jaa raha hoon sir! 😭

Sachin : Ek baat samajh mein nahi aayi...mujhe samjhaane wale sab chale gaye...main yahan kya karoonga? Main bhi jaata hoon sir!

Salunkhe: Sab chale gaye...ab CID mein koi nahi hai. Ab investigation kaun karega?

DCP: CID ki nayi ACP

Salunkhe: Nayi??? Yeh kaun hai?

DCP: Please welcome ACP Jaywanti.

Salunkhe: KYA! YEH???

DCP: Haan!

Salunkhe : Nahi! Yeh meri boss nahi bann sakti!

Jaywanti: Aapse kisi ne permission nahi li hai Dr Salunkhe! Main ACP hoon, aur yahan ke decisions main loongi.

DCP: All the best ACP Jaywanti.

(DCP leaves)

Salunkhe: Mujhe pata hai ki tumhi ne woh chip gaayab kar diya hai.

Jaywanti: Sabse pehle tum mujhe aap' kahoge. Main tumharii boss hoon.

Salunkhe: Main tumhare saath kaam nahi karoonga. Main bhi resign kar raha hoon

Jaywanti : Nahi. Tumhe DCP sir ne suspend kiya hai. Enquiry khatam hone tak tum bureau ke lock up mein rahoge!

Salunkhe: LOCK UP? Maine koi khoon nahi kiya hai lock up mein daalne ke liye.

Jaywanti: Lekin tumne saboot gaayab kiya hai...ho sakta hai tumhara kisi terrorists ke saath link ho. Isliye main tumhe lock up mein daal doongi.

Nik, Pankaj, Purvi and Shreya walk in.

Purvi: Jaywanti, yeh kya kar rahi ho?

Jaywanti: Oye! Mujhe tum' mat kaho. Main tum sab logo ki boss hoon. Mujhe ACP ma'am kaho!

Purvi: Achcha ACP ma'am' (sarcastically) aap Dr Salunkhe ko lock up mein nahi daal sakti, woh CID ke wafadaar forensic doctor hain.

Jaywantii: Oye Salunkhe ki chamchi, chup rehti hai ya tumhe bhi andar kar doon!

Purvi: 😡

Jaywanti: Aur haan, maine ek naya officer appoint kiya hai tum sabopar nazar rakhne ke liye..

Nikhil: Ma'am, CID team waise bhi ek battalion se kam nahi hai. Mujhe toh yaad bhi nahi hai ki kaun mera senior hai aur kaun junior aur kaun kab aaya aur kaun kab gaya. Aur confusion hua toh mera dimaag phat jaayega! Aap mujhe Sr Inspector kar dijiye na...maine Daya sir se training li hai!

Jaywanti: Hey, chu raho. Main Daya ke kisi shishya ko apna right hand nahi bana sakti. Sab log swagat karo...humare naye Sr Inspector Amit ko

(Amit is the same guy whom Jaywanti is going to marry)

Salunkhe: Amit!! Nahi! Yeh ek gunehgaar hai. Purvi, Nikhil, Shreya, Pankaj! Us blast ke site se jo chip mila, usme isi aadmi ka photo hai. Aur yeh Jaywanti ka boyfriend hai.

Jaywanti: Jhoot mat bolo. Saboot kahan hai tumhare paas

Salunkhe: Saboot ko tumne gaayab kiya hai, apne is atankwaadi boyfriend ke saath! 😡

Jaywanti: SALUNKHEEE!!!!!

Nikhil, Purvi, Shreya, Pankaj: 😲

Salunkhe: Tum ek CID officer hone ke kaabil nahi ho. Nikhil, Purvi, Shreya, Pankaj...tum iski baaton mein mat aana. Tum lab ke baahar jaao aur dekho ki CCTV camera ke saath kisne chedchaad ki hai. Finger print uthao aur Tarika ko de do,. Zaroor is ACP aur uske Sr Inspector ka hi hoga!

Nikhil: Yes sir!

Amit: Kya yes sir yes sir laga rakha hai. Tumhara boss main hoon. Tum mere orders ke bina koi invesatigation nahi karoge! 😡

Nikhil: Oye...main Daya sir aur Abhijeet sir ke alaava kisi aur ko Sr Inspector nahi maanta.

Amit(takes out his gun): Agar mere orders ke khilaaf gaya toh main tumhe goli maar doonga. 😡

Nikhil: Main bhi Daya sir ka shishya hoon...main goli khaakar bhi zinda waapas laut aaonga! 😡

Purvi: Nikhil, sambhaalke...Amit ke haath mein gun hai.

While Purvi and Nikhil engage Amit in a conversation, Shreya and Pankaj stealthily walk towards him from behind and capture Amit. Pankaj points Amit's arm towards the ceiling.

Amit fires BANG BANG' onto the ceiling,.

Jaywanti( takes out her gun.): Chod do Amit ko...warna main Dr Salunkhe ko zinda nahi chodoongi!

No one hears her in the confusion.

Jaywanti: EK!!! DO!!!! (all 4 of them continue to wrestle with Amit) TEEN!!! BANG!

The bullet hits Salunkhe straight near the heart. Purvi, Nikhil, Shreya and Pankaj are shell shocked. They rush towards the fallen Salunkhe.

Nikhil: Purvi, ambulance bolaao!

Pankaj: Aankhein khuli rakhiye Salunkhe sir!

Salunkhe: Mere paas waqt nahi hai. Pradyuman se kaho...ki mere death anniversary ke din 100 logon ko apne haath ka banaaya bhindi bhaaji khilayen.

(and goes silent...)

Purvi: touches salunkhe's neck and goes ...😭

Nikhil, Pankaj, Shreya...:😭

Purvi: Jaywanti, tumne Salunkhe sir ka khoon kiya hai!

Jaywanti: Maine ek mujrim ko goli maari hai. 😡

...and Jaywanti walks out with Amit.

Scene: Jaywanti's house

Amit: Jaywanti, mujhe pata nahi tha ki DCP Chitroley itna jaldi maan jayega mujhe Sr Inspecot banane ke liye

Jaywanti: Use toh main apne baaye haath se nachati hoon!

Amit: Tumne kamaal kiya hai. Ab us ACP Prayuman aur uske right aur left hands ko khatam karna hai.

Jaywanti: Trace karo unke mobiles ko.

Amit: 😕 Trace? Yeh kya hota hai?

Jaywanti: Tumhe mobile tracing ke baare mein pata nahi hai?

Amit: Mujhe toh sirf gun chalaana aata hai...CID ke baaki bakwaas kaamon ke baare mein mujhe kuch pata nahi hai

Jaywanti: CID mein naye naye aaye ho na...isliye ...Main Nikhil se yeh kaam karvati hoon. Use observe karke tum kaam sekh lo.

Amit: Lekin hume kahan CID mein tikey rehna hai? Humara plan toh kuch aur hai...😉

Jaywanti: 😈 Haan...lekin kaam hone tak media walon ke saamne thoda shareef banna padega. 😳

Amit: Yeh bhi sahi hai.

Scene : Bureau

Shreya: 😭 Bohot bura lag raha hai, Salunkhe sir bohot yaad aa rahe hain,.

Nikhil: 😭 😭 Main Daya sir ko bohot miss kar raha hoon. 😭

Pankaj: Main bhi Freddie sir ko miss kar raha hoon. 😭

Purvi: Main sabko miss kar rahi hoon. ACP sir, Abhijeet sir, Daya sir, Freddie sir ke bina CID nahi chal sakti.

Nikhil: Toh hum yahan kyon aaye hain? Hum bhi chale jaate hain.

Purvi: Nahi, hume yahin rehkar Jaywanti ko pakadwaana hai.

Shreya: Lekin DCP sir uske saath hain.

Purvi: Hum Jaywanti lo mujrim saabit karenge.

Amit and Jaywanti walk in.

Jaywanti: Hey...tum log...Pradyuman ko toh sab log uthkar good morning bolte the...mujhe Good morning wish kyon nahi kiya?

Purvi(mutters): Kyonki tumhara morning good nahi karna chahte hain

Jaywanti: Kya kaha tumne?

Purvi: Kuch nahi. Good morning Ma'am'.

Jaywanti: That's good! Oye Nikhil. Pradyuman ka number trace karo.

Nikhil : ACP Pradyuman.

Jaywanti: Nahi! Sirf Pradyuman.

Aur Amit...Nikhil par nazar rakho...dekho ko woh kaam theek se kar raha hai ya nahi.

Nikhil tries to trace ACP's number but fails

Amit (shouts): Tum jaan boojhkar theek se pata nahi kar rahe ho! Main jaanta hoon tum logon ko! Pata karo...warna...(shows gun) tumhe bhi seedhe Salunkhe ke paas bhej doonga.

Jaywanti: Amit...chodo use...hume iski zaroorat hai. 😉

Amit: Haan, theek kaha tumne.

Scene: Late night, bureau

Jaywanti(phones Nikhil, Purvi, Shreya and Pankaj): Isi waqt bureau aa jaao.

All 4 of them enter.

Jaywanti: Amit tumhe ek secret mission par bhejna chahta hai. Iske orders ko follow karo.

Amit: CID ke gaadi mein mere kuch khaas dost baithe hue hain. Inhe tum log airport mein drop karoge...aur security check cross karvaoge!

Purvi: KYA? Yeh kaunse dost hain? Aur security check se paar karvana hai? Kyon?

Amit: Sawaal poochna tumhara kaam nahi hai. Agar kuch gadbad ki...toh main...(pulls Pankaj towards himself) ise goli maar doonga.

Purvi: Nahii...tum jaisa kehte ho...hum waisa hi karenge. Lekin Pankaj ko goli mat maarna!

Amit: Jaise hi mere dost flight mein baithenge, mujhe phone karenge. Tab main Pankaj ko chod doonga.

Purvi: Theek hai. Chalo, Shreya, Nikhil.

Nikhil drives the CID innova to the airport. Shreya and Purvi find huge suitcases, obviously containing something dangerous.

They reach the airport, escort the 5 guys through the security check. The 5 of them sit in 5 different flights...and the 5 flights take off.

Scene : bureau

Amit: Hahaha...ab machegi tabaahii!!! Jaywanti...news on karo!

Jaywanti switches on the news. The newsreader reads out: Abhi abhi khabar mili hai ki Mumbai se Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore aur Hyderabad jaane wale flights mein blast hui hai aur sab log maare jaa chuke hain!

Amit: HAHAHAHA!!!!! Main boss ko phone karke batata hoon.!!!

(calls his boss)

Boss, aapne news dekha hoga...humara kaam ho gaya!

Boss: Abey kahan hua? Mujhe koi news dikhayi nahi de rahi hai! 😡

Amit: Sir, aap News Now Channel on kijiye!

Boss: Main bhi wohi dekh raha hoon! Yahan sirf Obama ke Republic day visit ke baare mein bata rahe hain! 😡

Amit: Aise kaise ho sakta hai? Jaywanti...yeh new channel...

Salunkhe: Maine yeh nakli news banaya hai.

Amit: tum zinda ho?

Salunkhe: Haan! Yeh sab ek plan tha! Asli mastermind ko pakadne ke liye.

Amit: Jaywanti!!!

Jaywanti(points the gun at him): Haan, hume pehle se pata tha ki tum koi blast karvane jaa rahe ho...;lekin yeh nahi pata tha ki kab aur kahan.

Salunkhe: Jab Purvi, Shreya aur Nikhil yahan se airport se nikle the...tabhi humne ACP sir ko bata diya tha...ki airport mein kuch hone wala hai. Tumhare paancho doston ko unhone Security check corss karvaya lekin flights mein ACP sir, Abhijeet sir, Daya sir, Freddie sir aur Sachin sir unka intezaar kar rahe the! Unhe flight ke andar arrest kar liya!

Jaywanti: Uske baad bas tumhare boss ka pata lagaana tha...ab tumne use phone kar diya...aur maine woh number Purvi, Shreya aur Nikhil ko de diya hai. Woh use thodi hi der mein arrest karenge!

Amit: Jaywanti, yeh tumne achcha nahi koya mere saath!

Jaywanti gives him a hard slap in Daya style!

Gaayab duo ka raaz

Scene : ACP's house late in the night

The bell rings at 10PM, just as ACP was about to go to bed with a book. He opened it to see none other than Salunkhe at the door.

ACP: Arey Salunkhe! Tum is waqt? Andar aao.

Salunkhe: Chalo Pradyuman, dinner ke liye kahin baahar chalte hain.

ACP: Maine dinner kha liya.

Salunkhe: Ufooo. Actually mera cook Balwant apne gaaon gaya hai, isliye main dinner baahar karne wala tha, toh socha company ke liye tumhe bhi bula loon. Akele restaurant jaane mein mazaa nahi aata.

ACP: Koi baat nahi, main tumhare saath chalta hoon. Tum kha lena, main juice pee leta hoon.

Salunkhe: Aise kaise ho sakta hai? Main bakasur ke tarah khata rahoonga aur tum paas mein baithkar juice piyoge! Tumhe bhi khaana padega.

ACP: Main tumhare liye 2 baar dinner kaise kar sakta hoon? Mujhe fit rehna hai.

Salunkhe: Theek hai mat aao. Main ghar jaake fruits kha loonga. 😔

ACP: Arey naraaz kyon hote ho? Ek kaam karo. Tum yahan baithkar TV dekho. Main 15 minute mein tumhare liye mere haath ka special bhindi bhaaji banaata hoon.

Salunkhe: 😲 Tumhara bhindi bhaaji! Nahiii.

ACP: 😡

Salunkhe: Arey bura bat maanna Pradyuman, tum bhaaji mein namak, tel, mirchi -kuch nahi daalte ho.

ACP: Isliye is umar mein bhi Daya aur Abhijeet ke saath bhaag-daud kar paa raha hoon! Tum apne aap ko dekh!

Salunkhe: Theek hai baba! Khilaao apna bhindi bhaaji. Main kuch madad karoon?

ACP: Koi zaroorat nahi hai. Mujhe pata hai tumhe khaana toh kya, ek chai bhi theek se banana nahi aata.

Salunkhe: Dekh lena Pradyuman! Main 2 mahine ke andat poore team ko apne haath ka banaya dinner nahi khilaaya toh mera naam Salunkhe nahin!

ACP(goes towards the kitchen): Haan haan...yahan baithkar apne liye naya naam soch lena. 😆

ACP cuts the bhindi, onion and starts frying them when his mobile rings.

ACP (lifts his phone): Haan Freddie, is waqt? Koi aatma mili hai kya?

Freddie: Nn..nahi sir...ek laash mili hai. <abcd> road par.

ACP: Achcha? Main aata hoon. (cuts the call)

ACP rushes out of the kitchen.

Salunkhe: Arey Pradyuman, kya hua?

ACP: Salunkhe, Freddie ka phone tha, ek laash mili hai. Tumhe bhi chalna hai, post mortem karne.

Salunkhe: Kya boss...main khaali pet ke saath koi post mortem kar sakta hoon.

ACP: Theek hai, tuek kaam kar...bhindi ko low flame mein rakha hai. 10 minute ke baad off karke kha lena.

Salunkhe: Bhindi bhaaji ke saath kya khaaun? Roti ya chaawal nahi hai?

ACP: Salunkhe, roti banane ko time nahi mila. Fridge mein bacha hua chaawal hai...main roz bacha hua khaana mere bai do deta hoon. Tum us chaawal ko microwave karne kha lena.

Salunkhe: Boss, maine socha tumhare sath kisi 5 star restaurant mein dinner khaa loonga, lekin tum mujhe subahka bacha hua chawal khila rahe ho.

ACP: Sorry, Salunkhe...agli baar main tumhe fresh khaana khilaaonga. Ab main nikalta hoon. Tum dinner karke seedha lab mein pohonch jaao. Tumhare liye fresh laash tayyar rahega. 😈

...and ACP rushes out.

Scene : A bungalow on a deserted street

ACP arrives. Freddie is waiting outside.

ACP: Kahan hai laash?

Freddie: Sir!!1 😭 Sorry sir!

ACP: Kya hua?

Freddie: Sir, maine aapko ghar ke andar se phone karne ki koshish ki thi lekin signal nahi lag raha tha!

ACP: Haan toh?

Freddie: Main baahar aake aapko phone kiya...aur phone karne ke baad jab andar gaya toh laash gaayab!

ACP: Kya!!! Yeh kaise ho sakta hai Freddie? Tumne laash ko theek se check kiya? Woh lash hi thi ya koi zinda aadmi so raha tha?

Freddie: Sir woh zinda nahi tha sir...maine pulse check kiya...jaise Abhijeet sir karte hain.

ACP: Tumhe is laash ke baare mein kaise pata chala?

Freddie: Mujhe ek phone aaya sir.

ACP: Achcha? Log seedha tumhare mobile par phone karne lage?

Freddie: Haan sir, main bhi ek achcha detective hoon! Log mujhe bhi pehchaante hain

ACP: Achcha detective! Woh woh dikh hi raha hai. Naak ke neeche se laash gaayab!

Freddie: Sorry sir!

ACP: Woh aadmi kahan hai jisne tumhe phone kiya?

Freddie: Pata nahi sir..jab main aaya toh yahan koi nahi tha. Sirf laash thi.

ACP: Uska number trace karo! Waise...Abhijeet, Daya aur baaki log kahan hai?

Freddie: Sir, un sab logon ke phones switched off aa rahe hain!

ACP: Kya! Landline par try kiya?

Freddie: Haan sir, lekin koi phone nahi utha raha hai.

ACPs phone rings.It's Salunkhe

Salunkhe: Pradyuman, main lab mein hoon. Tumne fresh laash laane ka waada kiya lekin yahan toh koi laash nahi hai.

ACP: Main jaanta hoon Salunkhe! Laash gaayab hai. Tum thodi dee intezaar karo. Waise laash ke aane tak tumhe koi aur kaam nahi hai isliye ho sake toh Abhijeet aur Daya ke ghar jaao aur unhe yahan bhejo. Woh dono phone nahi utha rahe hain!

Salunkhe: Main kya tumhara messenger boy hoon?

ACP: That's an order Salunkhe! 20 minute mein mujhe Abhijeet aur Daya mere saamne dikhne chahiye!

Salunkhe: Achcha theek hai 😡

Freddie: Sir, mujhe us number ka pata chal gaya.

ACP: Kahan hai woh?

Freddie: Sir woh is waqt Taj Hotel mein hai.

ACP: Achcha? Theek hai. Tum yahin raho, ghar ka kona kona chaan maaro. Main Taj Hotel jaata hoon us caller ko pakadne.

(to himself) Kya zamaana aa gaya. Itne honhaar juniors ke hote hue mujhe caller ko pakadne mujhe akele jaana pad raha hai.

Scene : Taj hotel

ACP(to the security man): Main CID se ACP Pradyuman. Mujhe ek aadmi ki talaash hai. Yahan se kisi ko baahar mat jaane dena.

ACP tries calling the number, but there's no response. He calls Freddie and says Main jaldi mein woh number tracker laana bhool gaya. Woh phone abhi bhi yahin hai na?'

Freddie: Haan sir...woh is waqt Taj hotel mein hi hai.

ACP: Theek hai. Agar woh yahan se baahar nikla toh mujhe phone karo.

Freddie: Yes sir!

ACP goes from one floor to the other, continuously calling the unknown number(which was registered in the name of one Sanjay, as per Freddie)

After going through 7-8 floors, finally ACP heard the phone ringing inside a room. He knocked, and as expected there was no response. He called the manager and asked him to open the door with a master key.

When he entered the room he found the room empty and the phone on the bed. It showed 20 missed calls but the phone was locked by a password, so ACP couldn't unlock it to see what more was in it.

ACP(to the manager): Manager, yeh room kisne book kiya?

Manager: Sir, main thodi der mein bataata hoon.

ACP: Theek hai jaldi kijiye...tab tak main is room ki talaashi leta hoon

The manager leaves, ACP starts searching for clues, fingerprints...but finds nothing. He finds a dustbin in which there's a paper with tea stains on it. He picks it up and flattens it. It's scribbled - Plot no 30, Nityanand Villa, Madh.

He tried calling Abhijeet and Daya once again...there was no response. He called Sachin, Purvi, Shreya, Pankaj and Nikhil, even their phones seemed to be switched off. No one from his team was available. ACP found that a bit odd.

ACP missed his batallion brigate now. There was one house where the body was found, Freddie was standing guard. Here there was a room in Taj Hotel where the caller was probably present a few hours back. There was no one to stand guard and he had to go to Madh to investigate.

ACP called up Salunkhe.

Salunkhe: Pradyuman, main Abhijeet ke ghar mein hoon.

ACP: Kya hua? Abhijeet mila?

Salunkhe: Nahi boss, Abhijeet gaayab hai. Uska phone switched off hai.

ACP: Yeh kya ho raha hai? Sab log gaayab kaise ho rahe hain? Pehle laash, phir laash ke baare mein phone karne wala aadmi, aur ab Abhijeet! Daya ko contact karne ki koshish ki?

Salunkhe: Main ab Daya ke ghar hi jaa raha hoon.

ACP: Aur main Madh Island jaa raha hoon.

Meanwhile the manager arrived with the guest list. He showed ACP the details of the man who had checked into that room. It was written as Ronald Potter, 23 Privet Drive, London'..

ACP: Tum log apni aankhen band karke logon ko kamra de dete ho? Naam se hi pata chal raha hai ki yeh nakli naam aur address hai. Tumne koi ID proof liya?

Manager: Haan sir. Us aadmi ne passport dikhaya tha. Xerox bhi hai humare paas.

(and shows the xerox)

ACP looks at it and then looks back at the manager with disgust and says yeh Indian passport hai, aur UK ka address diya hai'. 😡 Koi 10 saal ba bachcha bhi bata sakta hai ki isme gadbad hai!

Mujhe is corridor ke CCTV camera ka footage chahiye.

Manager: Yes sir...(and rushes out)

In a few minutes he comes back and says sir is corridor ka camera kaam nahi kar raha hai'

ACP: Mujhe lag hi raha tha.😡

Manager: 😕

ACP: Is room ko seal kar do. Main 1-2 ghante mein waapas aaoonga. Agar koi andar gaya, ya saboot mitane ki koshish ki toh main tumhe 10 saal ke liye andar kar doonga!

Manager: Yes sir!

ACP's phone rings. It's Salunkhe again

Salunkhe: Boss, bohot badi gadbad ho gayi hai.

ACP: Kya hua?

Salunkhe: Main Daya ke ghar mein hoon. Yahan Daya toh nahi hai, lekin uske answering machine mein mujhe Abhijeet ka message mila hai.

ACP: Kya?

Salunkhe: Abhijeet kisi museebat mein hai aur Daya ko bulaaya hai!

ACP: Kahan?

Salunkhe: Madh island mein. Pradyuman, mujhe kuch theek nahi lag raha hai. Pata nahi Abhijeet ke saath kya hua hai!

ACP: Madh Island!! Main bhi wahin jaa raha hoon. Tum bhi pohonch jaao. Lagta koi badi chaal hai!

Scene: Madh Island Bungalow

ACP and Salunkhe break the door and enter, pointing guns.

ACP: Salunkhe, dekho Abhijeet aur Daya yahan hai kya!

Salunkhe: Abhijeet!! Daya!!!

ACP: Abhijeet!!!! Daya!!!

Salunkhe: Pradyuman, yahan toh andhera hai! Lights nahi jal rahi hai.

ACP: Lagta hai main switch kisi ne off kiya hai. Main dekhta hoon.

Salunkhe: Nahi...mujhe andhere se darr lagta hai. Main bhi aata hoon.

ACP feels around the wall and finally finds the main switch. He turns on the switch to reveal a beautifully decorated hall with a huge cake and dinner for everyone!

Everyone shouts: SURPRISEEE!!!!

ACP: 😲 Yeh kya?

Daya: Sir, aapka birthday hai isliye humne midnight party organise kiya.

ACP: Thank you so much. 😃 Sach much...main hairaan hoon...itna planning kiya aap logo ne! Freddie, tum ne bhi bohot achchi acting ki. Woh unkown call, Taj Hotel mein room, wahan woh paper...yeh sab kiska plan tha?

Freddie: Yeh sab Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir ne plan kiya sir.

ACP: 😃 Tum dono ne mujhe poora city ghumaaya. Itna tension diya...Salunkhe tum dono ke ghar pohonch gaya aur itna pareshaan tha! Kyon kiya tum logon ne yeh sab? 😛

Abhijeet: Sir, mujhe pata hai aap 10 baje se pehle dinner kar lete hain. Ab raat ko 12 baje cake aur humare saath dinner khana ho toh aapko bhook bhi lagni chahiye, isliye thoda bhagaaya. 😉

ACP: Main apna fitness maintain karna chahta hoon aur tum log...

Salunkhe: Arey Pradyuman, ek din thoda zyada khaane se kuch nahi hota. Kal subah 1 ghanta extra exercise kar lena. Bachche itne pyar se khila rahe hain, kha lo!

ACP: 😃

ACP cuts the cake and everyone sings Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to ACP sir, Happy Birthday to you!!'

ACP: Thank you so much. Agle saal tum mujhe aise bewakoof nahi bana sakte! Dekh lena. 😈

Scene: Next day...in the bureau

ACP walks in.

Everyone: Good morning sir. 😃

ACP: Good morning. 😊

Abhijeet, mere cabin mein aao.

ACP walks to his cabin.

Abhijeet: Daya, subah subah kya class lene wale hain?

Daya: Shayad kal raat unhe bewakoof banane ke liye class milne wali hai.

Abhijeet: Yeh akele mera plan nahi tha. Tum, Freddie, sab mile hue ho...aur class mujhe milne wali hai?!!!

Daya: 😈

Abhijeet:

Daya: Good luck. 😊

Abhijeet knocks the cabin and says sir, may I come in'

ACP: Aao Abhijeet, baitho.

Abhijeet: Thank you sir.

ACP: Abhijeet, main jaanta hoon tum ek bohot achche detective ho...lekin..

Abhijeet: Lekin kya sir?

ACP: Kabhi kabhi tum choti choti galtiyan karte ho.

Abhijeet: 😕 Kya hua sir?

ACP: Kuch nahi...jab bhi tum handwriting badalna chahte ho toh yeh dhyaan mein rakhna ki tumhara handwriting completely badal jaaye...choti si choti bat ka bhi dhyaan rakhna. Jaise dotting an i, dashing a T...tumhara unique style kahin bhi dikhayi nahi deni chahiye.

Abhijeet: Kya keh rahe hain sir aap?

ACP: Yeh note dekho...yeh tumhi ne likha na?

..shows the tea-stained note he had found in the hotel the previous night.

Abhijeet: Haan sir...😛

ACP: Tumhare T ka dash humesha slant rehta hai aur agle letter ke saath join hota hai. Is note mein bhi aisa hi hai. Iss baar tum mere saath mazaak kar rahe the isliye koi problem nahi hai, lekin agar koi khatarnaak case mein undercover kaam karna pade toh aisi laparwahi mehengi pad sakti hai

Abhijeet: Haan sir.😳..aage se dhyaan rakhoonga.

ACP: Jaao, us Mr X case ka file laao, Chitroley mere peeche pada hai.

Abhijeet: Ok sir.

Abhijeet goes out.

Daya: Kya hua? Sir ne daanta?

Abhijeet: Nahi...bas...

Daya: Kya soch rahe ho?

Abhijeet: Daya, tumhe lagta hai sir ko kal raat ko pehle se pata tha ki humne unke liye surprise party arrange kiya hai?

Daya: Nahi toh...tumne dekha na Salunkhe sir aur ACP sir guns lekar andar aaye the...aur criminals ko dhoond rahe the.

Abhijeet: Hmmm..🤔.shaayad tum theek keh rahe ho. 😊 Bas thoda doubt aaya.

****

Flashback:

Previous night:

ACP arrives in his innova and waits for some time. Salunkhe too arrives in his car and rushes towards ACP.

ACP: Salunkhe, yehi who bungalow hai. 😊
Salunkhe: Chalo andar chalke dhoondte hain Abhijeet aur Daya ko.
ACP: 😆

Salunkhe: Yeh kya, Pradyuman, tum has rahe ho!

ACP: Kuch nahi Salunkhe...sab log theek hain. Bachche mujhe surprise dena chahte hain.

Salunkhe: Kaun bacche?

ACP: Humari team!

Salunkhe: KYA?

ACP: Haan. Tumhe mere ghar aane ka idea kisne diya?

Salunkhe: Balwant ne! Achanak uski behen ki tabiyat kharaab ho gayi aur woh shaam ko apne gaaon chala gaya...jaate jaate usne kaha ki aap ACP sir ke saath dinner karo.

ACP: Hahaha! Shaayad use Abhijeet ya Daya ne yeh idea di hai!

Salunkhe: Lekin kyon?

ACP: Kal mera birthday hai.

Salunkhe: Haan, mujhe yaad hai. Maine tumhare liye ek naya tie bhi khareedke rakha hai.

ACP: Humare team members mujhe aadhi raat ko surprise dena chahte the, isliye unhone yeh drama kiya.

Salunkhe: Aise kaise keh sakte ho?

ACP: Yeh dekho. Yeh note mujhe Taj hotel ke room se mila. Isme likha hai Nityanand Villa, Madh'.

Salunkhe: Haan, lekin yeh handwriting bohot kharab hai.

ACP: Haan kharab hai, lekin phir bhi main is handwriting ko pehchanta hoon.

Salunkhe: Kiska handwriting hai?

ACP: Abhijeet ka. Yeh dekho yeh T ka dash slant hai aur Y ek saath joined hain. Yeh Abhijeet ka style hai.

Salunkhe: 😃 Haha..Abhijeet tumhe bewakoof banana chahta tha, lekin tumne use pakad liya. Is Abhijeet ko bhi pata chale ki tum buddhe zaroor ho lekin usse 10 guna smart ho! 😉 Chalo ab hum unhe surprise, nahi shock dete hain.

ACP: Hmmm, nahi Salunkhe. Andar jaakar tum unhe yeh nahi bataana ki hume pehle se maloom hai.

Salunkhe: Kyon? Unhone hum dono ko ullu banane ki koshish ki aur tum unke saamne ullu banne ka naatak karoge? Us Abhijeet ko main nahi chodoonga. Kal raat ko Balwant usi se phus phus kar raha tha. 😡

ACP: Dekho yaar...humare team ne mujhe khush karne ke liye itna bada plan banaya...agar main surprised hua toh unhe khushi milegi. 😊

Salunkhe: Tum bhi na...Theek hai, boss aaj tumhara birthday hai isliye tumhari baat maan raha hoon. Abhijeet ko main kal lab mein dekh loonga. 😈

ACP: Tum Abhijeet par itna naraaz ho toh jab tumhe pata chala ki who museebat mein hai toh pareshaan kyon hue the?

Salunkhe: Tum jaante ho na...main chaahe jo bhi kahoon...Abhijeet se nok jhok kiye bina lab mein kaam karne mein maza nahi aata. 😉

Kal main use liver temperature lena sikhaonga. Us din band kamre mein sab gadbad kar diya 😈

ACP: Achcha, chalo ab andar. Thoda serious expression bana lena.

Salunkhe: Hmm...theek hai.

ACP: Ab chalo andar chalte hain!

*** THE END ***

Author's note: The T and Y link is actually seen in Aditya sir's handwriting. Check his autographs. 😉 That's where I got the idea from.

FLASHBACK - 2(non investigative)

Scene : Restaurant

The whole team minus ACP were out for dinner on New Year's eve. They were waiting for ACP to arrive.

Freddie: Abhijeet sir, ACP sir ke aane mein itni der kyon ho rahi hai?

Abhijeet: Main phone karta hoon. (phones ACP) Ok sir...Nahi sir, koi baat nahi...hum intezaar karenge.

Freddie gives a frustrated look.

Abhijeet(disconnects): ACP sir ko Chitroley saab ne rok liya hai. Agar is waqt ACP saab niklenge to Chitroley saab bhi saath mein aayenge. Kya tum Chitroley saab ke saath dinner karna chahtey ho?

Freddie: Nahi sir!!!!!

Abhijeet: Toh intezaar karo.

Daya: Jab tak ACP saab nahi aate hum kuch starters order kar lein?

Abhijeet: Seedha kaho na tumhe bhi bhook lagi hai.

Daya: Haan boss, mujhe bhook lagi hai. Chalo starters order karte hain.

Abhijeet: Theek hai order kar lo.

Abhijeet and Sachin started looking at one menu card and started deciding what to order.

Daya: Freddie, menu card dikhao.

Freddie didn't seem to hear. He looked too serious. He was looking at a couple seated some distance away.

Purvi who was seated beside Freddie shook him. 'sir, kya hua?'

Freddie only looked at Daya and pointed towards the couple with his eyes. Daya followed Freddie's eyes and saw the couple. He too seemed uncomfortable. He looked at Abhijeet, who was busy discussing the menu with Sachin. He had not noticed the couple, especially the guy. Daya signalled to Freddie not to mention anything. He knew that if Abhijeet and the guy there saw each other, there would be fireworks and the evening would turn into an unpleasant one.

Purvi, Shreya and Nikhil noticed the silent communication between Daya and Freddie.

Nikhil finally asked 'kya hua sir, aap unhe jaante hain?'

Abhijeet and Sachin looked up. Daya almost slapped his head in frustration.

Abhijeet: Kise jaante hain Nikhil?

Nikhil: kuch nahi sir. Daya sir aur Freddie sir us table par baithe couple ki ore dekh rahe the jaise unhe jaante hain.

Abhijeet turned back and saw the couple. He didn't know the lady. But he remembered having seen the man long ago - 14 years back. Abhijeet had come a long way after the accident which destroyed his memory but there were a few raw wounds remaining. Daya and Freddie noticed it.

Abhijeet: Daya, tum log dinner karo, main ghar chalta hoon. Sorry and good night.

Daya: Lekin ACP saab...

Abhijeet: ACP saab ko meri ore se sorry kehna. Bye.

Abhijeet got up and walked out of the restaurant. Once outside, he didn't immediately go to catch a taxi. (They all had come in the CID vehicle. He alone couldn't take it and go home since the others needed to be dropped off at their homes)

There was a small garden and a fountain in front of the restaurant. He went towards the fountain and sat on its edge, recollecting the last time he had met Anirudh.

Back at the table...

Purvi: Daya sir, Abhijeet sir ko achanak kya hua? Aur woh kaun hai?

Daya: Woh...Abhijeet ka bhai Anirudh hai.

Everyone was shocked.

Nikhil: Abhijeeet sir ke koi bhai bhi hain? Unhone kabhi unka zikr nahi kiya...

Daya: Haan...un dono ka jhagda hua tha. 14 saal pehle.

Shreya: Kis baat par sir?

Daya: Batata hoon.

At the fountain, the same scene was going through Abhijeet's mind's eye.

Flashback (1997):

Abhijeet was brought into the room where an elderly lady was waiting. She was in tears and Daya was telling her maaji, hum log hai na, aap royiye mat'.

As soon as she saw him, she rushed towards him and said Abhijeet, tu theek hai? bhagwaan ka lakh lakh shukr hai tu bach gaya'. But Abhijeet didn't remember her. He didn't remember anyone in the room. Everyone seemed like a stranger. The man who called himself ACP Pradyuman tried showing him photos of his past but trying to remember gave Abhijeet a severe headache. Finally the doctor asked everyone to leave Abhijeet alone and allow time to take its course.

That evening the tall guy who called himself Sub-Inspector Daya brought him to a house. The old lady who was at the hospital was waiting for him at the door.

Abhijeet: Yeh kiska ghar hai?

Daya: Sir yeh aapka ghar hai.

Abhijeet; Aap mujhe sir kyon keh rahe hain?

Daya: Sir, main CID mein aapka junior hoon. Aap mujhe aap' mat kahiye.

Abhijeet: Hmmm...(thinks for 2 seconds)...Daya...yehi tumhara naam hai na.

Daya: Sir, aapko yaad hai?

Abhijeet: Haan, hospital mein woh...ACP (thinks again) Pradyuman...tumhe isi naam se pukar rahe the.

Daya; Ohhh...

Abhijeet: Anyway... Thanks Daya.

Daya: Thanks kisliye sir...yeh sab meri wajah se hui hai...

Abhijeet's mom(comes in with a cup of tea and offers it to Daya): Chai piyo bete.

Daya: Nahi maaji, main chalta hoon. ACP saab ne ek case ke silsile mein mujhe bulaya hai.

...and walks off, feeling guilty about his own role in the whole incident.

Several weeks passed, Abhijeet couldn't recollect the old lady. She kept showing him pictures of him with her, mostly childhood photos. Unfortunately there was no recent picture of Abhijeet and his mother, which might have helped Abhijeet remember her better. Abhijeet had left home after 12th. He stayed in a hostel during college days and then had gone into police training. He had visited home once a year, but it never occurred to anyone to take a photo together.

Abhijeet started getting frustrated. He started going out, trying to remember the places he might have visited and people he might have met in the recent past. His mother's' presence at home was actually depressing him. He respected her and appreciated her for being nice to him, but he wanted to find his bearings on his own. She seemed to be in tears most of the time. He didn't have the heart to ask her to leave, so he started staying out of home most of the time.

One day when he returned home, there was another guy standing at the door - Abhijeet's brother Anirudh. He was studying in the US. His mother had initially avoided telling him about Abhijeet's accident. Finally one day Anirudh phoned her and found something amiss. He pressed her to tell what was wrong and his mother told him everything - about Abhijeet's accident and memory loss. He hopped on to the next flight and reached Mumbai.

Anirudh: Aa gaye aap?

Abhijeet: Aap kaun hain?

Anirudh: Main aapka bhai Anirudh.

Abhijeet: Dekho Anirudh, mujhe kuch yaad nahi aa raha hai. Dimaag par zyada zor diya toh sar dard hone lagta hai. Meri baat mano...maa ji ko yahan se le jaao. Main kuch din akele rehna chahta hoon.

Anirudh: bhaiya main US mein padhai kar raha hoon. maa ko nahi le jaa sakta.

Hearing the conversation, Abhijeet's mother comes out with her suitcase.

Anirudh: Maa, aap kahan jaa rahi hain?

Mother: Abhijeet nahi chahta ki main yahan rahoon. mujhe gaaon mein Kishan mama ke ghar chod do.

Anirudh: Lekin...

Mother: Tum apni padhayi poori karo. Uske baad mujhe le jaana.

Abhijeet, bhagwaan tumhe khush rakhein.

And she left towards the gate. Anirudh gave Abhijeet an angry glare and followed her.

Abhijeet was not sure how to react. In a way he was happy to be free. He thought if he was left alone for a few days, he might be able to remember something...and maybe bring her back if she was indeed his mom. At the same time, he was sad to see her go. Mother or not, she was a very affectionate lady.

A year passed. Abhijeet couldn't remember anything about his past, but he enjoyed the company of ACP Pradyuman, Daya, Asha, Fredricks and Sudhakar. They often came over to his house. Instead of trying to make him remember his past, they chatted about various crime cases and how they solved them. Abhijeet found this discussion interesting. It gave him happiness and peace of mind.

One day he had gone out for dinner with Daya and when he came back, he saw a furious Anirudh standing at his doorstep.

Abhijeet: Hello Anirudh...kaise ho? US se kab aaye?

Anirudh: Pichle hafte.

Abhijeet: Aur...maa ji kaisi hai?

Anirudh: Woh ab is duniya mein nahi hai!

Abhijeet: Kya!! Yeh kaise hua?

Anirudh: Woh har pal aapke baare mein sochti thi...aapne unhe na phone kiya, na gaaon mein Kishan mama ke ghar jaakar unse milne ki koshish ki! Kaise bete hain aap!

Abhijeet felt a pang of guilt...he really hadn't tried to contact her. he was living in his own world, trying to discover himself.

Anirudh continued: sharm aat hai aapko apna bhai kehte hue.. Aaj ke baad mera aapse koi sambandh nahi. Main jaa raha hoon!

...and walked off angrily.

Abhijeet stared blankly after him. Daya who was witness to the whole scene said, sir, aap theek hain?'

Abhijeet; Daya, is waqt mujhe akele chod do. bye.

...and walked into his house.

Later Abhijeet joined CID and made a successful career for himself. ACP taught him not to waste time thinking about his past...and this worked well for him. Abhijeet pushed Anirudh away from his mind and moved on in life.

Back to present:

Daya concluded the story. Everyone was silent.

Freddie: Daya sir, mujhe lagta hai Abhijeet sir ko ek baar Anirudh se mil leni chahiye.

Daya: Tum jaante ho na Abhijeet ko...woh kisi ki baat nahi maanta...uska bhai bhi waisa hi ziddi hai.

By then Anirudh and his wife had finished dinner. They got up and left.

Freddie: sir, aap jaakar Anirudh ka phone number lijiye...kisi tarah Abhijeet sir ko manaakar phone karvate hain.

Daya: Theek hai...

Daya gets up and goes out hoping that Anirudh had not gone too far off. When he reached the entrance, he was surprised to see Anirudh walking towards Abhijeet who was seated near the fountain. Abhijeet had wanted to talk to Anirudh after all!

Anirudh shook hands with him and gave him a card. He then got into an airport cab and left.

Daya walked towards Abhijeet and asked, kya boss, tum ghar nahi gaye?'

Abhijeet: Nahi, main...

Daya (smiled understandingly): Kya kaha Anirudh ne?

Abhijeet: Kuch khas nahi...woh waapas US jaa raha hai. Usne apna phone number diya aur kaha ki touch mein rehna.

Daya: Chalo ab mood theek karo aur andar aa jaao dinner karne. ACP saab aate hi honge.

Abhijeet smiled and went back into the restaurant with Daya.

*** THE END ***

PS: Abhijeet mentioned his brother in 'Case of the Missing Father'. So the existence of the brother is not my own creation/imagination. His name is of course given by me. 😆

ATM Chor ka raaz

Flashback...1999 August.

Daya, Asha, Fredricks and Sudhakar are having a light chat.

Asha: Daya, ACP sir kitne din chutti par gaye hain?

Daya: Shayad 3-4 hafton ke liye

Freddie: Koi mushkil case aa gaya toh aapko hi sambhalna padega.

Daya: Main kaise? Abhijeet sir hai na?

Sudhakar: Aapko lagta hai woh humare team ko lead kar sakte hain?

Daya: Kyon nahi...main unke saath pehle kaam kar chuka hoon.

Sudhakar: Tab ki baat aur thi, sir.

Daya makes a serious face.

Freddie: Kya hua sir...achanak itne erious? Aapko bhi Abhijeet sir ka asar pad gaya kya?

Asha(suddenly smiles): Hello Abhijeet sir, good morning.

Abhijeet: Good morning.

Daya: Good morning sir.

Freddie: 😲

Sudhakar: 😕

Abhijeet walks towards them, expressionless.

Abhijeet: Daya, ek case haath mein aaya hai...ACP sir ke cabin mein milte hain...10 minute mein.

Daya: ok sir.

Abhijeet goes inside.

Freddie: Kahin Abhijeet sir ne humari baat sun toh nahi liya!

Asha: Lagta hai sunn liya...kaafi der se khade the wahan.

Sudhakar: Mujhe lagta hai agli baar promotion mein kuch gadbad kar denge.

Suddenly Abhijeet comes in.

Abhijeet: Aisa kuch nahi hoga Sudhakar. Tumne jo kaha, bilkul theek kaha. Main tumhari jagah hota toh aisa hi sochta.

Sudhakar: Sorry sir.

Abhijeet(expressionless): Koi baat nahi. Daya, chalo.

Daya goes inside.

Abhijeet: Daya, hume ek aadmi ko pakadna hai jo ATM se paise chori karta hai aur paintings kahreedta hai.

Daya: Aapko pata hai woh agli baar kahan aane wala hai?

Abhijeet: Haan, mere khabri ne bataya ki woh kal Central court hotel mein hone wale painting exhibition mein painting khareedne zaroor aayega.

Daya: Theek hai sir, hum sab uske liye tayyar rahenge

Abhijeet: Daya, mere paas ek aur plan hai.

Daya: Kya sir?

Abhijeet: Tum aur Asha husband -wife ke bhes mein us exhibition mein ghus jaao.

Daya: 🤣

Abhijeet: 😕 Isme hasne wali baat kya hai?

Daya: Kuch nahi sir, bas aise hi. 😳

Abhijeet: Theek hai...kal subah 7 baje tum aur Asha tayyar hoke Central Court aa jaao.

Daya: Sir...

Abhijeet: Kya?

Daya: Sir...aap khud agar Asha ko bata denge toh achcha hoga.😳

Abhijeet: Kyon?

Daya: kuch nahi sir, aap senior hain...aap hi orders dijiye.

Abhijeet: 😕 Theek hai. Asha!!!

Asha (walks in) : Yes sir?

Abhijeet; Central court hotel mein kal ek painting exhibition hone wali hai, usme woh ATM chor aane wala hai, apne chori ki kamayi se painting kareedne. Hume unhe pakadna hai aur iske liye Daya aur tum pati patni bankar logo ke beech mein ghus jaao. Main, Fredricks aur Sudhakar CCTV se tumpar nazar rakhenge.

Asha looks at Daya and goes 🤣 showing all her 32 teeth in style.

Abhijeet: kya hua, tum bhi hasne lagi?

Daya : 😆

Asha: Trying to control her laughter. 😆 😳 Sir, hum actors thodi hain?

Abhijeet; CID mein yeh sab karna padta hai. Apne hasee par kaaboo rakho, warna logon ko pata chalega. Main chalta hoon. Kal milte hain.

Abhijeet walks out of ACP's cabin(1999 wala). Asha and Daya follow him, giggling.

Freddie : kya hua sir, aap dono aise kyon has rahe hain

Sudhakar: Abhijeet sir ne joke suna diya kya?

Daya: kuch aisa hi samajh lo. 😆

Sudhakar: 😲 Abhijeet sir, aur joke!

Daya: Aisa mat kaho Sudhakar, itne bhi serious nahi hai Abhijeet sir...

Sudhakar: kuch bhi kahiye sir, humne unhe kabhi haste hue nahi dekha.

Freddie: lekin hume bhi toh batayiye, kya hua.

Daya: Freddie, kal Asha aur main pati patni hone ki acting karne wale hain.😆

Asha: 🤣 Daya tum aur acting!

Daya: Dekh lena...😉

Next day at the exhibition:

Abhijeet, Freddie and Sudhakar in the security room watching the CCTV footage.

Daya and Asha enter with microphones hidden in their clothes. Daya dressed in suit boot and Asha in jeans and shirt.

Abhijeet(to Sudhakar and Freddie): Yeh kya...yeh dono husband wife jaise dikh hi nahi rahe hain. 😕

Freddie: Haan sir, Asha ko saree pehenna chahiye tha.

Abhijeet: Main jaakar bolta hoon Asha ko

Abhijeet walks into the main hall where the exhibition was on and looks at Asha and asks her to come out.

One outside...

Abhijeet: Yeh kya Asha. tumhe saree pehenna chahiye tha. Tum Daya ki wife nahi dikh rahi ho.

Asha: 😕 lekin sir maine Daya sir se poocha tha ki unhe kaisi ladki chahiye toh unhone kaha ki unhe modern ladki pasand hai...isliye maine jeans pehen liya.

Abhijeet: Asha, tum yahan Daya ki wife nahi bann rahi ho...logon ko vishwaas hona chahiye ki tum Daya ki wife ho. Ab jaldi ghar jaao aur saree pehenkar thoda traditional bankar aao...aur haan, sindoor aur Mangal sutra bhi pehen lena.

Asha : 😕 theek hai sir...main aadhe ghante mein waapas aati hoon.

Asha rushes away. Meanwhile Daya comes out and asks kua hua sir, Asha kahan jaa rahi hai?'

Abhijeet: Asha kapde badalne jaa rahi hai. Woh jeans aur shirt mein tumhari wife jaisi nahi dikh rahi thi.

Daya: kyon sir? Aur aapko kaise pata ki meri wife kaisi dikhegi?

Abhijeet: Mujhe woh sab nahi pata...bas maine usse kaha ki saree pehenkar aaye.

Daya: Theek hai sir, main zara andar jaake dekhta hoon ki woh ATM chor aaya hai kya.

Abhijeet: Dayaaa...tumhe yeh sab samjhaana padta hai, tumhari wife ghar gayi hai...toh tumhe bhi jaana padega. Warna logon ko shaq ho jaayega. Jaao tum bhi...aur ho sake toh thoda traditional dress pehen lo. Is suit men tum ACP sir jaise lag rahe ho.

Daya: 😕 Toh kya pehenkar aaon sir?

Abhijeet: Asha saree pehen rahi hai...toh uske saath match karne wala koi kurta pehen lo.

Daya: kurta???

Abhijeet: Haan...ab jaao aur jaldi waapas aao.

Back in CCTV room.

Abhijeet: maine dono ko ghar bhej diya hai. Dress change karke aa jaayenge waapas.

After an hour, Daya and Asha make another entry.

Asha in heavy silk saree with lots of gold jewellery, big sindoor on her forehead. Daya in a white plain kurta.

Sudhakar: Sir, Daya sir ka kurta kuch zyada hi plain nahi lag raha hai?

Freddie: 🤣

Abhijeet: Haso mat Fredricks, humare paas waqt nahi hai. In dono ko sab kuch samjahana padta hai.

Abhijeet once again enters the hall and gives an angry look to Daya. Daya comes out.

Daya: Kya hua sir, jaisa aapne kaha maine kurta pehen liya.

Abhijeet: Haan lekin yeh kya kurta hai, lagta hai tum kisi ki maut ka function attend karke aa rahe ho.

Daya: Sir mere paas yehi ek kurta hai...pichle mahine mere neighbour ki aunty ki maut ho gayi thi toh 10th day function ke liye yehi pehena tha.

Abhijeet: Ek kaam karta hoon, Fredericks ki shaadi 3 mahine pehle hui thi...uske paas achcha kurta hoga. Tum uske saath jaao aur kurta pehenkar aao.

Freddie and Daya leave. Suddenly Abhijeet remembers that Asha is alone in the gallery.

Abhijeet enters the hall to send her with Daya but it was too late. She was already in a major discussion with an salesman. Abhijeet decides to leave her there and go to the CCTV room to watch the proceedings.

After an hour Daya walks in wearing a bright blue kurta which was a little short for him, but it was not a total mismatch with Asha's attire.

Asha who was in conversation with the salesman looks up and smiles at Daya.

Asha: Aa gaye aap? Yeh dekhiye kitna achcha painting hai.

Daya: 😕 Yeh kya hai? Kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha hai.

Asha: 😳 (looks at the salesman) Actually mere husband ko in cheezon mein zyada dilchaspi nahi hai.

(to Daya) Yeh dekhiye, yeh ek ladki ka aadha chehra hai...aur yeh hain bohot saree phool.

Daya: 😕 Achcha? Kitna accha painting hai?

Asha: Mujhe yeh painting chahiye.pleaseee 😳

Daya; theek hai, (turns to the salesman) iski keemat kya hai

Salesman: Sir, only 85000 rupees. 😃

Daya: 😲 Sonia, yeh toh bohot zyada hai...koi aur painting dekhte hai.

Asha : Achcha? Theek hai.

In the CCTV room...

Freddie: Abhijeet sir, yeh dono bilkul husband-wife jaise nahi lag rahe hain.

Abhijeet: Kyon? Theek hi toh hain...

Freddie: Nahi sir...main neeche jaakar dono ko samjhata hoon.

Freddie runs down to the hall. By now, there was quite a huge crowd in the hall. Freddie stands near the entrance and calls Daya and Asha towards him by his expression. Daya and Asha follow Freddie who walks into a deserted corridor some distance away from the hall.

Daya: Freddie, hume yahan kyon bulaya tumne? Jaante ho? Woh painting chor kabhi bhi aa sakta hai.

Freddie: Sorry sir...lekin aap dono ko acting karna aata hi nahi. 😒

Daya, Asha: 😲

Asha: Freddie, pata hai hum dono ne kitni mehnat ki raat bhar husband-wife ki acting karne ke liye? Hum dono baithkar cable TV mein jo bhi serials aate hain, sab dekhe, dialogues bhi yaad kar liye taaki hum real dikhe.

Daya: Aur nahi toh kya...jante ho mujhe kitni neend aa rahi hai! Aur tum keh rahe ho ki hume acting karna nahi aata 😡

Freddie: Sir, aap dono ne apna poora time barbaad kar diya. TV serials dekhne se koi acting nahi seekh sakta. Aapko kal mere ghar aana chahiye tha. Tab Asha ko pata chalta ki wife kaise behave karti hai.

Asha: 😕 Kya matlab hai tumhara Freddie!

Freddie: Thodi der pehle tumne Daya sir 85000 ka painting kareedne ko kaha tha...hai na?

Asha: Haan.

Freddie: Aur Daya sir ne mana kar diya.

Daya: Haan...85000 rupees, us painting ke liye...mujhe laga ki woh kisi nursery student ka crayon work hai.

Freddie: Theek hai sir...aapne mana kar diya...lekin Asha ne kya kiya? Sati Savitri ki tarah aapke haan mein haan mila diya!

Asha: Haan...toh? Mujhe laga ki Daya sir theek keh rahe hain.

Freddie: Yahin toh maar kha gaye aap log! Asha, tumhe Daya sir ke saath jhagda karna chahiye! Asli wife aisi hoti hai. Meri wife ki tarah!

Wahan sab logon ko already shak ho gaya hoga ki aap log husband wife nahi hain

Daya, Asha: 😕 Achcha????? Hume toh pata nahi tha.

Daya: Lekin maine uss serial mein dekha ki...

Freddie: Serial ko maariye goli...aur asli husband wife bann jaayiye.Asha, Daya sir ne dobara koi painting khareedne se mana kiya toh turant chiilana shuru karna...emotional blackmail karna...aur maike chale jaane ki dhamki dena. Tab lagogi asli wife! 😃

Back in the CCTV room Abhijeet who was drinking a cup of tea heard Freddie's words through the hidden mic in Daya's dress and suddenly choked on the tea and he burst out laughing 🤣 🤣

He hadn't even smiled after his mom had passed away. He was himself surprised that he could laugh like that.

Sudhakar who was watching him was amused. Since Abhijeet was wearing headphones, he didn't know what made the serious, brooding Abhijeet burst out laughing.

Abhijeet looked at Sudhakar and decided to compose himself.

After 10 minutes...

Freddie was back in the CCTV room.

Sudhakar(whispers to freddie): Jaante ho, aaj kamaal ho gaya. Abhijeet sir ko hasee aa gayi! 😲

Freddie: Achcha???

Sudhakar: Aisa kya keh diya tumne?

Freddie: Kuch nahi, bas Daya sir aur Asha ko samjha raha tha ki husband-wife kaise behave karte hain.

Sudhakar: 😕

Down in the hall, Daya and Asha were back in action.

Asha: Suno darling, yeh painting dekho kitna sundar hai.

Daya: Yeh??? 🤢

Asha: KYA EXPRESSION HAI!

Daya: Dekho, Sunita, log dekh rahe hai, chilla kyon rahi ho?

Asha: MUJHE LAGTA HAI MERE PASAND KA PAINTING TUMHE ACHCHA NAHI LAGA! 😡

Daya looks left and right, people were looking at them.

Daya: Sunita, please aawaz neeche karo (and gives Asha a begging expression)

Asha: Theek hai...mujhe yeh painting chahiye.

Daya: Aisa kya khaas hai is painting mein?

Asha: 😡

Daya: Mera matlab...main toh in mamlon mein buddhu hoon. Tum mujhe samjhaao na ki is painting se tumhe kya samajh mein aaya.

Asha: dekho, yeh painting...hmmm...😕 (suddenly Asha realises that even she doesn't understand the painting)

Daya: Kya hua? Tumhe bhi samajh mein nahi aaya? 😉

Asha: MERA MAZAAK UDA RAHE HO!!! MUJHE ISI WAQT YEH PAINTING CHAHIYE, WARNA..

Daya: Warna kya?

Asha(to herself): Freddie ne kya kaha?? Main bhool gayiyi..😕...

MAIN KHAANA PEENA CHOD DUNGI,, TUMPAR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE KA CASE KAR DOONGI

Daya: 😲

By then a whole crowd had collected around them.

One man: Bhaisaab, yeh kya ho raha hai? Aap apni biwi par haath uthate hain? Sharm aani chahiye aapko.

Daya(sensing danger): Dekhiye, aap apna kaam kijiye...Sunita, ab chup ho jaao. Kaunsa painting chahiye?

Asha: Yeh wali.

Daya: (to salesman): Is painting ki keemat kya hai?

Salesman : Only15 lakh sir. 😃

Daya: 😲

Salesman: Kya main pack kar doon?

Daya(looks at Asha, decides it's best to avoid another shouting game): theek hai

Salesman: Sir iss taraf aayiye.

Daya leaves.

Meanwhile Asha notices a lady in the crowd trying to sneak out with 2 paintings. Asha remembers that the lady had come in with a huge bag and that was missing now. Asha realises that the bag was probably full of stolen cash and the lady had purchased the painting with the cash.

She tells Abhijeet through her mic sir, woh chor toh nahi aaya, par yahan se ek ladki abhi abhi nikli hai. Mujhe lagta hai woh uski saathi hai'

Abhijeet: Achcha?? Hum aate hain, tum uska peecha karo.

Abhijeet, Freddie and Sudhakar rush out.

Asha sees the lady running away with the painting. She gives chase, but the lady gets into a car and speeds off.

Abhijeet, Freddie and Sudhakar come with the CID qualis, Asha gets into it and they follow the car.

After some chase, they overtake the car and the ATM thief who purchased paintings to get rid of his stolen cash and his accomplice are caught, Asha and Abhijeet give the trademark slaps and the confession finishes.

Abhijeet: Sudhakar, in dono ko bureau le jaao.

Sudhakar: Yes sir.

Asha tries Daya's mobile number but there's no response.

Abhijeet: Kya hua?

Asha: Pata nahi sir.

Abhijeet: Chalo jaakar dekhte hain.

Asha and Abhijeet soon reached the painting exhibition. There was a police van and 2 constables.

Abhijeet: Kya hua?

Constable: Sir, koi chor hai sir. Haath mein ek paisa nahi tha aur painting kharedne aa gaya. Aur keh raha tha ki woh CID officer hai.

Asha: 😲 and rushes in.

Abhijeet: 😆 Tum log jaao. Woh sachmuch CID officer hai.

Asha and Abhijeet enter to see Daya tied up to a chair, mouth gagged with a kerchief and 4 hefty men holding him tightly.

Abhijeet: Yeh kya ho raha hai, hain? Inhe baandhkar kyon rakha hai?

Manager of the painting exhibition: Aap kaun?

Abhijeet: Main CID se Insp Abhijeet (and flashes his badge)

Manager: Achcha hua aap aa gaye. Maine hi phone kiya tha police ko. Sir yeh aadmi chor hai.

Iske paas ek paisa bhi nahi hai. Aur 15 lakh ka painting khareedna tha ise.

(He suddenly notices Asha)

Oh, iski wife bhi aa gayi! Sir, inhe bhi arrest kar lijiye. Mujhe pehle se inpar shaqq tha..😡

Abhijeet: Dekhiye, aap pehle inki rassiyan khol dijiye.

Manager: Kyon sir...yeh keh raha tha ki yeh CID officer hai aur jab ID poocha toh ID iske paas hai hi nahi. Tab mujhe pata chala ki yeh koi behrupiya chor hai.

Abhijeet: Yeh humare team ka hissa hai. Yeh Sub Insp Daya hain aur yeh hai Sub Insp Asha. Hum yahan ek chor ko pakadne aaye the.

Manager: 😲 Toh aap logo ne pehle kyon nahi bataaya, hum aapke liye chai naashte ka bandobast karte. 😳

Abhijeet: Filhaal aap hume jaane dijiye.

Daya is untied...The manager apologises.

Daya walks out relieved.

Back in the Qualis Abhijeet was driving back to the bureau as Daya was still in a state of shock.

Asha: Kya hua Daya, bohot dard ho raha hai kya?

Daya: Tumse yeh ummeed nahi thi Asha.

Asha: Maine kya kiya?

Daya: Freddie ne kaha aur tum mujhpar chillane lagi? Aur achanak kahan gaayab ho gayi? Jab maine manager se kaha ki main CID officer hoon aur woh nahi maana toh maine usse kaha hi baahar Asha khadi hai woh bhi CID officer hai. Woh check karne ke liye baahar aaya toh tum gaayab thi...aur logon ko mujhpar shaq ho gaya.

Asha: Sorry sir. Actually hum log choron ka peecha kar rahe the.

Abhijeet : Toh tumhara badge kahan hai? Rules ke hisaab se tumhe badge apne paas rakhna chahiye tha na???

Daya: Sir, woh mere subah wale pant mein tha sir...achanak aapne mujhe kurta pyjama pehenne Freddie ke ghar bhej diya. Mera badge usi pant mein reh gaya.

Abhijeet: 🤣 🤣 🤣

Asha, Daya: 😲

Asha: Abhijeet sir, bohot achcha lag raha hai aapko haste dekhkar. 😳

Abhijeet: Mujhe bhi lag raha hai ki bohot saalon ke baad is tarah has raha hoon. 😊 Tum dono ko kisi comedy show mein hona chahiye. Aur Freddie ko bhi. 😆

Asha and Daya remembered the previous night when they had watched a marathon of TV serials and shout NAHIII'!

Clinching evidence - 2

Scene : Bureau

Daya and Abhijeet walk in with the culprit Rajesh.

Daya slaps Rajesh and he lands on the confession chair.

Abhijeet: Bataao, Ravi ka khoon kyon kiya?

Rajesh: Maine Ravi ka khoon nahi kiya. Tum log mujhe bina saboot phasa rahe ho. Mujhe apne vakil se baat karni hai.

Abhijeet: Hum log bina wajah kisi ko arrest nahi karte! Humare paas forensic department ka saboot hai.

Rajesh: Sab jhoot! Tum logon ne forensic ka report manipulate kiya hai. Asli khooni ko nahi pakad sake toh kisi par jhoota ilzaam lagaakar yeh saabit karna chahte ho ki case kitna jaldi solve kiya! Media ki shabaashi chahte ho tum log!

Abhijeet: Daya, lock up mein daal do ise. Hum kal subah ise court mein pesh karenge.

ACP walks in.

ACP: Abhijeet, Daya, kya hua? Kuch bataya isne?

Abhijeet: Nahi sir, kehta hai ki bekasoor hai.

Rajesh: Toh aap hain ACP Pradyuman. Mujhe apne vakil se baat karni hai. Aaap mujhe is tarah lock up mein nahi daal sakte!

ACP(looks at duo with an expression saying he's right, we have to allow that'): Theek hai. Lekin jo karna hai jaldi karo. Tumhare khilaaf humare paas saboot hai aur hum un sabooton ko court mein subah pesh karenge.

Rajesh is left alone in an interrogation room while trio walk out.

ACP: Forensic report kya kehta hai?

Daya: Sir, main isko arrest karne se pehle Salunkhe sir se mila tha. Unka kehna hai ki murder spot kar jo 2 daru ke glasses mile the - ek par mare hue Ravi ka saliva hai. Aur doosre par is Rajesh ka saliva hai. .

ACP: Aur CCTV footage?

Abhijeet: Sir woh bhi mil gaya hai building ke entrance se. Theek 9 baje Rajesh Sterling apartments mein ghusa aur 11:45 ko baahar aaya.

Daya: Salunkhe sir ka kehna hai ki khoon lagbhag 11 baje ke aas paas hua hai.

ACP: Building ke register mein isne apna naam enter kiya hai?

Abhijeet: Haan sir. Register bhi humare evidence list mein hai. Aur watchman ko bhi humne court mein bulaya hai kal, gavah ke taur par.

Daya: Sir, lekin sir itne saboot uske khilaaf hone ke bawajood yeh keh raha hai ki isne khoon nahi kiya. Kehta hai ki apne vakil se baat karega.

ACP: Hmm...kuch zyada hi confident lag raha hai. Humare sare saboot pakke hain na?

Daya: Haan sir, Salunke sir ne kaha ki ek-do tests aur baaki hai. uske baad woh report ka copy hume denge jo hum humare report ke saath court mein submit kar sakte hain.

ACP: Chalo, lab mein chalkar dekhte hain.

Daya; haan sir, chaliye.

ACP leaves the bureau, Daya follows. when Daya reaches the exit, he realises that Abhijeet isn't following. He comes back towards Abhijeet.

Daya: Kya hua boss, lab nahi chal rahe ho?

Abhijeet (expression serious): Nahi Daya, tum jaao.

Daya: Achanak kya ho gaya tumhe?

Abhijeet: kuch nahi, mujhe is case ka report tayyar karna hai. (turns away)

Daya: Oh, tum Salunkhe sir ko avoid kar rahe ho?

Abhijeet: Nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Tum jaao, main yahin rukta hoon.

Flashback:

Scene: Lab

Salunkhe: Yeh pant tumhe kahan se mili?

Tarika: sir, Abhi..Abhijeet ne diya

Salunkhe: Abhijeet, Abhijeet, CID mein jo bhi galat kaam hota hai, usme is aadmi ka naam kyon juda jaata hai!

usne yeh pant mujhe kyon nahi di?

Tarika: Pata nahi

Salunkhe: Yeh pant kiski ha - pata nahi. Pant par laga khoon kiska hai - pata nahi, yeh pant Salukhe ke paas kyon nahi hai - pata nahi! toh tumhe kya pata hai Dr, Tarika! 😡

A couple of days later

Scene : Lab

Salunkhe: Kallu par goli chalayi Abhijeet ne!

ACP is shocked.

Salunkhe: Ab main woh bataane jaa raha hoon, jiske wajah se main in sab ko baahar bhejna chahta tha

ACP's phone rings

ACP: Abhijeet, kahan ho? Isi waqt lab mein chale aao. It's an order

Abhijeet: Sir, jab tak yeh pata nahi chalta ki uss raat ko kya hua tha, main nahi aaoonga.

ACP: Mere khilaf jaaoge Abhijeet?

Abhijeet: Main aapke khilaaf nahi jaa raha hoon sir, jab tak sach ka pata nahi chalta main waapas nahi aa saktaa

(cuts the call)

ACP is shocked.

Salunkhe: Mana kar diya na?

Aapke honest, brilliant, intelligent officer ne aapka order manne se mana kar diya, ACP saab?

Main jaanta tha Pradyuman, yeh Abhijeet ek na ek dinn poori CID ke liye woh machli saabit hoga jo poore taalab ko ganda kar deti hai.

Is Abhijeet ki wajah se CID team badnaam ho rahi hai!

Kalank hai. Yeh Abhijeet poore CID team par ek dhabba hai!

Tarika: Bas kijiye sir! Kita bura kahenge aap!

Salunkhe: Main toh bas kar doonga Tarika, lekin yeh report? iska kya karogi?

Jaante ho Pradyuman iss report mein kya hai?

ACP: Kya hai Salukhe?

Salunkhe: Daya par goli tumhare honest, brilliant, intelligent officer Abhijeet na chalayi hai.

ACP: Kya? 😲

Salunkhe: Daya Abhijeet ke goli ka shikaaar hua hai Pradyuman!

(the story is set around the time Giraftaar series was aired)

Back to present:

Daya: Boss, main samajh sakta hoon, lekin us waqt shayad woh gusse mein the kyonki tum gaayab the!

Abhijeet: Haan, tum toh yahi kahoge. Tumhare liye pareshaan the woh. Ek baar yeh nahi socha ki report mein jo dikh raha hai, woh galat bhi ho sakta hai...itne saal mere saath kaam karne ke baad bhi yeh khayal unke mann mein nahi aaya ki Abhijeet kabhi Daya par goli chala sakta hai kya? (voice chokes)

Daya: Dekho Abhijeet, main samajh sakta hoon ki Salunkhe sir ko tumpar shaq nahi karna chahiye tha. Lekin hum sab ek family ki tarah hain... Aapas mein baat karke suljhana chahiye.

Abhijeet: Sirf shaq kiya? Pata hai? Unhone mujhe CID ka kalank kaha.

Daya: Lekin tumhe yeh baat kisne bataayi?

Abhijeet: Maine Nikhil aur Pankaj ki baatein chupkar sun liya.

Daya:

(he had asked Nikhil and Pankaj to keep quiet about it)

Gusse mein keh diya hoga...ACP sir bhi bohot baar gussa karte hain na? Unki baaton ka kabhi bura nahi maante ho tum! Main Salunkhe sir se baat karta hoon. Unhe apne galti ka ehsaas dilaoonga.

Abhijeet: Rehne do Daya. Tumhare baat karne se kya hoga? Yeh baat khud unki samajh mein aana chahiye. Ab yeh sab chodo. ACP saab intezaar kar rahe honge. Lab mein jaao aur DNA report le aao.

Aur haan, kisi se iss baat ka zikr mat karna.

Daya: theek hai boss, jaisi tumhari marzi.

Scene : Lab

ACP and Daya walk in.

Salunkhe: Aao Pradyuman, report tayyar hai.

(looks behind ACP and Daya)

ACP: Kya hua Salunkhe, kise dhoond rahe ho?

Salunkhe: Kuch nahi...humesha poore team ke saath aate ho...aaj sirf tum dono?

Daya: Bas sir aise hi...sirf report leni thi, uske liye poori team ki kya zaroorat hai?

Salunkhe: Haan...main toh...yuh hi pooch raha tha.

ACP: Report mein kya hai Salunkhe?

Salunkhe: Rajesh ke ghar se tumne jo jala hua kapda laaye ho, woh darasal gloves ka tukda hai. Aur us gloves ke tukde par usii drinks ke boonde mile jo Ravi ke ghar par mile glasses mein hain.

ACP: Iska matlab Rajesh ne wohi gloves pehenkar drinks piya tha?

Salunkhe: Haan.

ACP: Gloves par koi fingerprints ya khoon nahi mila?

Salunkhe: Nahi boss, gloves ka woh hissa jal gaya.

Daya: Rajesh ne hi jalaane ki koshish ki hai. Usi ke ghar se toh mile yeh gloves. Yeh khoon usi ne kiya hai sir.

ACP: Koi aur pakka saboot nahi mila, Salunkhe?

Salunkhe: Aur kya chahiye Pradyuman? Mare hue aadmi ke ghar mein do glasses - dono mein saliva hai - ek hai Ravi ka aur doosra Rajesh ka. Ek glass par Ravi ke fingerprints hain, aur doosre par kisi ka bhi nahi. Isse saaf hota hai ki jo doosre glass se drinks pee raha tha, usne gloves pehen rakhi thi.

Murder weapon bhi humaare pass hai...uspar bhi fingerprints nahi. Matlab jisne gloves pehna tha - wohi khoon bhi kiya.

Rajesh ke ghar mein jale hue gloves mile - jinpar wohi drinks ke boonde hain jo yeh dono murder spot baithkar pee rahe the.

Tarika walks in.

Tarika: Sir, woh fibre bhi match hua hai.

Salunkhe: Lo, aur ek saboot. Chaku ke oopar kuch cotton fibres mile the, khoon ke saath. Woh bhi isi gloves ke fibres hain. Matlab isi glove ko pehenkar khoon kiya gaya tha.

ACP: Hmm...theek hai. Aur woh CCTV footage? Use bhi certify karvana hai ki usse koi ched chaad nahi hui hai.

Salunkhe: Haan boss...woh bhi aadhe ghante mein ho jaayega.

Daya's phone rings.

Daya: Haan Abhijeet...?
...
...

KYA?😲 Oh...tab toh hume aur savdhaan rehna chahiye.

...

...
Kal subah? Theek hai, 7 baje main bhi aata hoon tumhare saath.

(cuts)

Daya: Sir, ek problem hai.

ACP: Kya?

Daya: Aap jaante hain is Rajesh ka defence lawyer kaun hai?

ACP: Kaun?

Daya: KD Pathak.

ACP: 😲 KD? Lekin woh kabhi kisi khooni ko bachane ki koshish nahi karta. Humesha sachhayi ka hi saath deta hai.

Daya: Haan sir.

ACP: Pata nahi kyon, mujhe is case mein kuch gadbad lag rahi hai. Pehle us Rajesh ka confidence...aur ab KD ka is case mein ghusna...kahin humse koi galti toh nahi hui hai?

Daya: Sir humne bohot achchi tarah se investigate kiya hai. Aapki tasalli ke liye phir se murder spot chalein?

ACP: Ghar jaane se pehle ek baar tum aur Abhijeet jaakar dekh lo.

Salunkhe: Daya, aadhi raat ko koi saboot mila toh mujhe phone zaroor karna. Main aa jaaonga. Main Ravi ke khooni ko andar karke hi chodoonga. 😡

Daya: Kyon sir? Is case ko itna personally kyon le rahe hain aap?

Salunkhe: Woh...bas aise hi...

ACP and Daya leave.

Scene : Court (Next day)

Abhijeet and Daya were in a serious discussion with Jaiswal.

Abhijeet: Jaiswal saab, aap aur ek baar reports dekhna chahte hain?

Jaiswal: 10 baar dekh chuka hoon...aap fikar mat kijiye...10 minute mein case khatam ho jayega aur Rajesh ko phaansi hogi. relax!

..and goes in.

Abhijeet(to Daya): Yeh Jaiswal bhi na...report theek se dekha bhi nahi! Chala gaya andar.

Daya: Ab kya kar sakte hain...yeh aadmi hai hi aisa.

Abhijeet: Lekin defence lawyer KD hai. Woh kabhi koi case haarta nahi.

Daya: Tum kuch nervous lag rahe ho...

Abhijeet: Pata nahi...mujhe kuch theek nahi lag raha hai iss case ke baare mein. KD aise hi kisi gunehgaar ko defend karne ke liye aage nahi aayega.

Daya(a little smile): Kal ACP sir bhi yehi keh rahe the.

KD comes towards them and shakes hands.

KD: Good morning. Iss baar hum pratipaksh mein hain, isliye good luck nahi keh sakta.😊

Abhijeet: KD, tum yeh case kyon lad rahe ho? Humare paas pakka saboot hai ki Rajesh khooni hai.

KD: Main sadaiv sachhayi ke paksh mein hoon. Main dono - Rajesh aur Ravi ko jaanta hoon. Woh dono mere paas kanooni paramarsh ke liye aate the. Mujhe vishwaas hai ki Rajesh kisi ki bhi hatya nahi kar sakta.

Daya: Lekin iss baar tum dhokha kha gaye, KD.

KD: Court mein is baat ka nischay hoga ki kise dhokha hua hai.

KD walks towards the court room...stops a minute and comes back.

KD: Main apne client ko bachane ke liye kuch aise pramaan prastut karoonga jisse aapko pareshaani ho sakti hai...kintu kisi bhi baat ko personally mat lena. 😊 It's only professional.

...and walks off with a smile.

Daya: Yeh KD kya keh raha hai? Kya pramaan...matlab...saboot mila hai use jo humare paas nahi hai?

The case begins.

Rajesh in the accused box, KD takes the place of the defence lawyer, Jaiswal the prosecutor. Abhijeet and Daya in the audience. Salunkhe joins them.

Judge: Case ki sunvai shuroo kijiye.

Jaiswal: Your honour, yeh ek seedha murder case hai. Iske liye sirf 5 minute ki zaroorat hai.

Rajesh, jo ek bohot hi successful businessman hai - apne dost Ravi ke ghar Jan 18 raat 9 baje gaye. Dono baithkar drinks piye. Uske baad dono ke beech mein jhagda hua, aur Rajesh ne paas pade chaku se Ravi ka khoon kar diya. Uske baad chaku ko apne ghar le gaya aur dustbin mein phenk diya. Phir gloves ko bhi jalane ki koshish ki.

Agle din Rajesh ne ek flight ka ticket book kiya aur airport gaya. Sheher chodkar bhaagne hi wala tha, lekin humare kaabil CID officers ne use airport mein hi arrest kar liya.

Main ab is case ke saare saboot pesh karta hoon. Sabse pehla witness hai Sterling apartments ka watchman.

Watchman comes and stands in witness box.

Jaiswal: Ramu, 18 January ke raat ko 9 baje tum hi Sterling apartments mein duty par the?

Ramu: Haan sir.

Jaiswal(shows a register): Your honour, yeh register dekhiye. Isme theek 9 baje ek entry hai. Visitor ka naam Rajesh hai.

(Hands it over to the judge)

Your honour, Ab main Sterling apartments ke gate mein lage CCTV ka footage dikhata hoon.

(The CCTV footage is played and it shows Rajesh going in at 9PM and coming out at 11:45PM.)

Your honour, data forensic department ne certify kiya hai ki is footage ke saath koi ched-chaad nahi hui hai.

Ab main forensic expert Dr Salunkhe ko witness box mein bulata hoon.

(Salunkhe comes)

Jaiswal: Dr Salunkhe, Ravi ka post mortem aap hi ne kiya?

Salunkhe: Ji haan.

Jaiswal: Ravi ki maut kab hui thi?

Salunkhe: Lagbhag raat ko 11 baje.

Dr Salunkhe, kya yeh glass (shows the glass) wohi glass hai jo aapko Ravi ke ghar se mila?

Salunkhe: Yes your honour.

Jaiswal: Iska DNA test aapne kiya?

Salunkhe: Ji haan

Jaiswal: Is glass par aapko kya mila?

Salunkhe: Ispar mujhe saliva ka sample mila jo Rajesh ke DNA ke saath match hua hai.

Jaiswal: Your honour iska matlab saaf hai. Rajesh Sterling apartments ke andar ghusa aur Ravi ke flat mein hi gaya tha.

CCTV footage se hume pata chalta hai ki Ravi 11:45 ko baahar aaya tha.

9 or 11:45 ke beech mein sirf do aur visitors aaye the jo flat no 305 aur no 111 mein gaye the. Lekin Ravi flat no 807 mein rehta tha. Aur 807 mein sirf ek visitor aaya tha - Rajesh. Iska matlab hai ki. Jab Ravi ki maut hui thi, uske flat mein yeh Rajesh hi tha, aur Rajesh ne hi Ravi ka khoon kiya hai.

KD: Objection your honour. Jaiswal saab keval paristhitijanya sakshyon .(circumstantial evidence) ke aadhar par mere muvakkil par hatya ka aarop laga rahe hain.

Judge: Sustained, aapke paas koi aur saboot hain Mr Jaiswal?

Jaiswal: Hai na your honour. Yeh dekhiye...(shows the knife)

Sir yeh chaku Sr Insp Abhijeet ne Rajesh ke ghar mein kachre ke dibbe se baramat kiya tha. Iske oopar khoon laga hua hai, jiska DNA report bhi Dr Salunkhe ne hi certify kiya.

Dr Salunkhe: Kya aap bata sakte hain ki is chaku par kiska DNA hai?

Salunkhe: Your honour, is chaku par lage hue khoon ka DNA mare hue Ravi ke DNA se match karta hai.

Jaiswal: Ravi par isi chaku se vaar kiya gaya tha?

Salunkhe: Yes your honour, is chaku par 5 cm tak khoon laga hua hai. Ravi ke chaati par ghaav bhi 5 cm gehra hai. Chaku aur ghaav ke measurements match kar rahe hain sir.

Jaiswal: Iska matlab saaf hai your honour. Khoon isi chaku se kiya gaya tha.

(Next he also presents the burnt glove and the fibre found on the handle of the knife.

And then concludes...)

Jaiswal: In sabooton se saabit hota hai ki Rajesh ne pehle khoon kiya, uske baat chaku uthakar bhaag gaya. Padke jaane ke darr se chaku ko kachre ke dibbe mein daal diya aur sheher se faraar hone ki koshish ki.

Ise IPC Sec 302 ke mutaabik phaasi ki sazaa di jaaye.

That's all your honour.

Jaiswal gives a big smile and sits down.

Judge: Defence, aapke koi witnesses?

KD: Ji haan your honour. Mujhe lagta hai ki prosecution aur CID ko is case ko sheeghr samapt karne ki jaldi hai. Isliye unhone poori tarah se is case ki tehkikaat nahi ki. Isliye unhe woh cheezein nahi dikhayi di jo hai aur woh dikhayi di jo nahi hai. 😉

Daya (agitated): Yeh kya keh rahe ho KD! 😡

Judge : Order, order!

Abhijeet: Baith jaao Daya, suspend hone ka shauk hai kya?

Daya: Woh keh raha hai ki humne investigation theek se nahi kiya.😡

Salunkhe: Mujhe pehle se pata tha ki yeh KD CID ko neecha dikhane ki koshish karega.

Abhijeet(not looking at Salunkhe directly): Unhe CID se koi dushmani nahi hai. Pehle hum sunn toh lein ki woh kya keh raha hai.

KD continues: Sir, sabse pehle main watchman Ramu ko katgare mein bulana chahta hoon

Ramu comes. KD nods at his assistant Varun who rushes out and returns with two men, head covered.

KD asks for the CCTV footage to be played.

KD (asks Ramu): Jab yeh aadmi Sterling apts ke andar gaya tha, tab tum duty par the?

Ramu: Ji haan sir.

KD: Kya tum tum us aadmi ko pehchaan sakte ho jo is footage mein dikhayi de raha hai?

Ramu: Sir yeh toh wohi aadmi hain sir jo uss katgare mein khade hain.

KD: Tumhe poora vishwaas hai?

Ramu: haan sir.

KD: Phir se dekh lo, kahin in dono mein se koi toh nahi?

(And points towards 2 other men who looked identical to Rajesh)

Ramu looks confused, and so are Abhijeet and Daya and so is Salunkhe.

KD: Your honour, jaisa aap dekh rahe hain, is court mein do aur log hain jinki shakal Rajesh se milti hai. Yeh humne ek professional makeup artist ki sahayata se kiya. Jo CCTV footage hume prapt hua hai uska resolution kam hai. Usme Rajesh ka chehra spasth dikhayi nahi de raha hai. Isliye iss CCTV footage se hum yeh nahi maan sakte ki jo vyakti andar gaya tha woh Rajesh hi hai.

Jaiswal: Lekin woh DNA?

KD: Maan lijiye aap apne dost ke ghar gaye aur drinks li.

Uske baad yadi Varun aapke dost ghar mein ghuskar woh glass uthakar mere ghar mein rakh diya, toh kya iska matlab yeh hai aapne mere saath bathkar drinks liya tha.

Jaiswal: Aapke saath drinks? Kabhi nahi. 😡

KD: Mujhe maloom tha, aap samajhdaar hain.😉

Jaiswal: 😕

KD: Your honour, keval Rajesh ka drinks glass Ravi ke ghar mein hone se yeh saabit nahi hota ki Rajesh ne Ravi ke saath baithkar drinks pi hai. Ho sakta hai Rajesh ne kahin aur drinks liya ho aur kisi ne woh glass uthakar Ravi ke ghar rakh diya. (looks at Jaiswal) Ho sakta hai na?

Jaiswal: Silent

KD(looks at CID team): Kyon Abhijeet, Daya, Dr Salunkhe??

Salunkhe: KD, hume Rajesh ke ghar mein murder weapon mila hai.

Judge:Order, order

KD: Woh bhi is glass ke tarah unke ghar mein rakha jaa sakta hai Dr Salunkhe.

Your honour, kisi ki hatya karne ke liye majboot kaaran ka hona avashyak hai(motive). Rajesh ke paas Ravi ka khoon karne ke liye koi kaaran nahi hai.Woh dono business partners the aur jahan tak mera jyaan hai unke beech mein koi tanaav nahi hai.

Jo saboot CID aur prosecution ne pesh kiya hai woh keval paristhithijanya hain.

Prosecution ne us register mein aur do logon ke naam bataaye the jinhone uss raat Sterling apartments mein aaye the. Main watchman Ramu se ek prashna karna chahta hoon - kya tumne un dono ka peecha karke yeh dekha ki woh dono kis flat mein jaa rahe hain? Kya tum har visitor ka peecha karte ho?

Ramu: Main sabka peecha kaise kar sakta hoon sir? Meri duty toh sirf gate ke paas hoti hai.

KD: Your honour, ho sakta hai hatyara register mein flat no 111 likh diya ho aur building mein ghusne ke baad flat no 807 mein jakar Ravi ki hatya kar diya ho. CID team ne iss case ko samapt karne ki jaldbaazi dikhayi hai.

Main is case mein ek mahatvapoorna saboot pesh karne ki anumati chahta hoon.

Judge: You may proceed.

KD brings a CD and plays it.

The video shows Rajesh walking out of Delhi airport.

KD: Sir yeh CCTV footage mujhe Delhi airport security se prapt hua hai. (thank you Abhijeet 😉)
Isme spasth dikhayi de raha hai ki Rajesh Delhi airport mein luggage belt no 2 se apna bag uthakar airport se baahar aa rahe hain. Yeh January 18 subah 9 baje ka footage hai.

Daya: Abhijeet, KD tumhe thanks kyon keh raha hai?

Abhijeet: Maine use kal yeh bataya...

Before he could finish, Jaiswal jumped up

Jaiswal: Objection your honour, jaise KD Pathak ne prosecution ke CCTV ko low resolution kaha tha, yeh footage bhi low resolution ka hai.

KD: Your honour, mujhe pata tha ki Jaiswal saab yeh avashya kahenge. Isliye maine kuch aur saboot prapt kiya hai. Rajesh shaam ko 7 baje Delhi ke Nuclear science centre ke andar gaye the. Andar jaane se pehle unhone entrance mein apna finger prints aur iris image diya tha. Delhi ke forensic scientist Dr Akash ne Rajesh ke Aadhar card data se uss finger prints aur Iris ko match kiya hai.

(refer http://uidai.gov.in/auth.html. Aadhar data stores iris and finger prints of all citizens of India)

Isse yeh saabit hota hai ki January 18 ke raat ko 7 baje Rajesh Delhi mein the aur meeting lagbhag 10 baje tak chali thi.

Rajesh ek ghante mein Delhi ke nuclear lab se Mumbai mein Ravi ke ghar jaakar unki hatya kar hi nahi sakte, your honour.

CID team : 😕

Daya: Yeh kaise ho sakta hai?

KD: Main Ravi ke personal assistant Ms Sophiya ko bulana chahta hoon.

Sophiya arrives.

KD: Ms Sophiya, kya aap Mr Salunkhe ko jaante hain?

Sophiya: Ji haa sir. Ravi ke pita aur Dr Salunkhe bohot achche dost the.

KD: Thank you Ms Sophiya.

Your honour, Ms Sophiya ke bayaan se hume yeh pata chalta hai ki Dr Salunkhe ko iss case mein personal interest hai. Unkhe dost ke bete ke hatyare ko jald se jald dhoond nikaalna chahte the, isliye unhone jaldbaazi dikhayi hai. Main court se nivedan karta hoon ki Dr Salunkhe ko iss case se baahar kiya jaaye aur kisi aur forensic doctor ko ye case diya jaaye.

Judge: Is case mein pesh kiye gaye gavah aur sabooton se hum is nateeje par pohonche hain ki iss case ki investigation theek se nahi hui hai.

CID team ko is case ko theek se investigate karne ke liye 1 hafte ka waqt diya jaata hai . Dr Salunkhe ko iss case se baahar kiya jaata hai,

Salunkhe storms out of the court. Daya runs after him.

Daya: Sir, please aap ruk jayiye

Salunkhe: Uss KD ne meri izzat mitti mein mila diya hai. Ab kya muh dikhaaonga kisi ko. Aur Abhijeet...uss Abhijeet ne hi yeh sab kiya hai. Dekha nah tumne...KD use thanks keh raha tha. 😡 Badla le raha hai mujhse. Main usse sorry kehna chahta tha, lekin usne...

Daya: Sir aap Abhijeet ko galat samajh rahe hain.

Salunkhe: Mujhe ab kuch nahi sunna hai. Chod do mujhe akele..

...and gets into his car and drives off.

PART 2

Scene : Court

Abhijeet watches Salunkhe leave in a huff. Daya follows him. Everyone leaves. He ponders over how it could be possible was Rajesh was in Delhi at the time of murder.

Flashback:

Scene : Murder spot(Ravi's flat)

All the neighbours had gathered in the corridor and CID team was investigating.

ACP: Sabse pehle laash kisne dekhi?

Milkman: Sir, maine. Main har roz doodh ka packet ek plastic cover mein daalkar jaata hoon jo darwaze ke handle par bandha hota hai. Aaj woh plastic cover nahi tha. Darwaze ko gaur se dekha toh dekha ki darawaza khula hai. Isliye maine socha ki doodha ka packet andar shoe rack ke paas rakh deta hoon. Andar aaya toh dekha ki Ravi saab zameen par pade hain.

ACP: Toh tumne kya kiya?

Milkman: Maine unhe uthane ki koshish ki par unka shareer thanda pad gaya tha...toh mujhe pata chala ki woh mar chuke hain. Maine watchman aur building secretary ko bulaya.

Daya: Sir, kahin yeh heart attack se toh nahi mara hai?

ACP: Yeh toh Salunkhe hi bata sakta hai.

Abhijeet(comes with 2 glasses): Sir! Yahan sharaab ke 2 glasses hain.

ACP: Iska matlab yahan koi aur tha.

Abhijeet: Doodh wala keh raha hai ki darwaza khula tha.

ACP: Matlab yahan jo bhi aaya tha...shayad Ravi ke marne ke baad baahar gaya. Agar uske jaane se samay Ravi zinda hota toh kum se kum darwaze tak aakar darwaza band toh karta..hai na?

ACP(to the lady who stays in the opposite flat): Kal raat aapne yahan kisi ko dekha?

Lady: Nahi sir. Maine kuch nahi dekha.

ACP: Daya, neeche security room mein guest register dekho ki kal raat is building mein kaun kaun aaya tha.

One maid comes forward.

Maid: Saab, main kuch kehna chahto hoon.

ACP: Tumne kuch dekha?

Maid: Haan saab...main oopar wale floor mein kaam karti hoon. Main kal raat ko 10 baje kaam khatam karke ghar jaa rahi thi...toh maine dekha ki yeh darwaza khula hai aur iss saab ke saath ek aur saab sofe par baithe hue the.

ACP: Achcha? Tumhe us doosre aadmi ka shakal yaad hai?

Maid: Theek se toh nahi...woh thode mote the, neele rang ke shirt pehne hue the aur...

ACP: Tum ek kaam karo...uske baare mein jo bhi yaad hai humare sketch artist ko bataao.

Scene: Bureau

Sketch is ready...a plump fair guy with french beard and black framed glasses.

Daya: Sir, kal raat ko 9 baje Rajesh flat #807 mein aaya tha. register mein entry hai (shows) Aur 11:45 ko baahar gaya tha.

Maine CCTV footage bhi mangwayi hai. Yeh dekhiye. Chehra zyada clear nahi hai, lekin jaise kaamwali ne bataaya. Iska bhi french beard hai...isne bhi neeli shirt pehen rakhi hai aur kaale rang ka chasma bhi hai.

ACP: Aadmi toh wohi hai. Is Rajesh ka pata lagaao.

After a while...

Daya: Sir, maine pata lagaya. Kal raat ko 8 baje Ravi ne Rajesh ko phone kiya tha. Kal raat 9 aur 11:45 ke beech Rajesh ke phone ka location bhi Ravi ke ghar mein hi tha.

Maine Rajesh ka number trace kiya hai. Iss waqt woh airport ki taraf jaa raha hai.

ACP: Shaayad sheher chodkar bhaagne ki koshish kar raha hai. Jaldi jaake arrest karo use.

Scene: Airport

CID Qualis rushes in and brakes hard. Duo run out.

Abhijeet: Kahan hai woh?

Daya(looks at the app): Boss woh toh parking mein hai. Abhi tak airport ke andar nahi gaya.

Abhijeet: Chalo jaldi

Abhijeet and Daya reach the parking lot to see Rajesh standing with a bag. Duo rush and arrest him.

Rajesh: Yeh kya kar rahe ho?! Kaun ho tum log???

Abhijeet: Khoon karke bhaag rahe ho, hain? You are under arrest.

Rajesh: Khoon! Maine koi khoon nahi kiya, tum log mujhe phasa rahe ho!

Daya: Sach sach bataao. Tum iss aadmi ko jaante ho?

Rajesh: Haan, yeh Ravi hai. Mera business partner.

Abhijeet: Kyon maara Ravi ko!

Rajesh: Ravi mar gaya?

Abhijeet: Wah! kya acting hai! Daya, yeh aisa nahi maanega. Bureau le chalte hain.

Flashback ends...back to present.

The judge leaves and Jaiswal is about to leave when Abhijeet runs towards him.

Abhijeet: Kya Jaiswal saab...kaise prosecutor hain aap? Aapne us kaamwali ko witness box mein kyon nahi bulaya jisne sketch banaya tha? Aur Rajesh ka mobile phone? Woh number Rajesh ke maan registered hai aur woh number kal raat Mumbai mein hi tha. Yeh point aapne nahi bataaya! Aise hi KD jo jeetne diya aapne.

Jaiswal: Wohh...main...mujhe pata hai...KD algi sunvayi mein koi aur point lekar aayega...main yeh dono points uss waqt bataaonga.

Abhijeet: Mujhe lagta hai aap yeh sab bhool gaye the. Main jaanta hoon. KD ko dekhkar nervous ho jaate hain aap. 😡

Jaiswal: Dekhiye Abhijeet saab, case kaise ladna hai, mujhe aapse sunne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Aap apna investigation kijiye...aur agli sunvayi ke ek dinn pehle mujhse miliye. Mujhe aur bhi cases ladne hai...main chalta hoon.

Jaiswal walks off. Abhijeet wonders how can a prosecutor be so dumb.

KD approaches Abhijeet.

Abhijeet: Kaafi khush lag rahe ho. CID team aur Salunkhe saab ko is tarah beizzat karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

KD: Sorry Abhijeet, maine pehli hi kaha tha...nothing personal. Mere client ko bachane ke liye yeh karna zaroori tha.

Abhijeet: KD, 19 saal se CID mein hoon. Khooni ko ek hi nazar se pehchaan sakta hoon. Rajesh ek khooni hai. Woh jhoot bol raha hai. Uska phone Mumbai mein hi tha. Woh Delhi mein ho hi nahi sakta. Woh Jaiswal yeh sab court mein bataana bhool gaya. Tum jaante ho na use.

KD: Abhijeet, Main Rajesh ko achchi tarah se jaanta hoon. Isliye mujhe jab pata chala ki woh khoon ke case mein phas gaya hai toh main Bangalore se bhaagte chala aaya. Airport se seedha court aa gaya.

Both of them see Rajesh walking out, getting into his car and leaving.

KD looks surprised and looks at Varun who had joined them.

Abhijeet: Kya hua?

KD: Kuch nahi...bas (and smiles)

Varun: Kamaal hai, ek thanks bhi nahi bola Rajesh ne!

Abhijeet is surprised as well.

Abhijeet moves away and calls Sachin.

Sachin: Hello sir.

Abhijeet: Rajesh abhi abhi court se nikla hai. Tum 24 ghante uspar nazar rakho. Khoon usi ne kiya hai. Sheher chodkar bhaagna nahi chahiye.

Scene: Bureau

ACP(disconnects the phone): Phone bhi switched off hai.

Daya: Sir, main Salunkhe sir ke ghar jaakar dekhta hoon.

ACP: Rehne do Daya. Kuch dinn use ghar mein hi baithne do. Yeh sab use dekha nahi jaayega.

CID team looks at the papers in front of them with the news Salunkhe suspended from CID' screaming at them.

Abhijeet(enters): Sir, maine Delhi nuclear lab se pata kiya. Unka kehna hai ki Rajesh Delhi mein hi tha.

ACP: Hmm...kuch toh gadbad hai Abhijeet. Ek aadmi dono jagah kaise ho sakta hai? Hume investigation phir se shuru karna padega.

Abhijeet: Theek hai sir...

...and is about to leave when he notices the papers. He looks at the articles which had written horrible things about Salunkhe.

Daya: Abhijeet...

Abhijeet(looks up from the papers): Haan, Daya???

Daya: mujhe tumse ek baat poochni hai.

Abhijeet: Kya?

Daya: Tumne KD ko aisa kya bataaya jiske liye usne tumse thanks kaha?

Abhijeet: Wohh

(...tries to recollect. )

Darasal mujhe bhi theek se yaad nahi hai...jab aap log lab gaye the, tab KD ne mujhe phone kiya. Mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki woh Rajesh ka case lene wala hai. Usne achanak Rajesh ke case ke baare mein details poocha toh maine bata diya.

ACP: Kya bata diya tumne? Ki Salunkhe Ravi ke pita ka dost hai?

Abhijeet: Sir, yeh kya keh rahe hain aap...mujhe khud yeh baat court mein hi pata chala.

Daya: Toh KD ne tumhe thanks kyon kaha? Aisa kya bata diya tumne jisse use humare khilaf itna bada saboot mil gaya?

Abhijeet: Arey yaar, maine use wohi bataaya jo hum sabko iss case ke baare mein pata tha.

ACP: Abhijeet, main jaanta hoon tum Salunkhe se naraaz ho aur kuch dino se use avoid kar rahe ho...lab mein nahi aa rahe ho...kahin tum...???

Abhijeet: Sir, aapko lagta hai main aisa kar sakta hoon?

ACP: Nahi...phir bhi...

Abhijeet : Main jaa raha hoon sir.

Daya: Abhijeet, ruko...

...and runs after him, but finds Abhijeet driving off at full speed.

Scene : Bureau (next day)

ACP: Daya, Abhijeet nahi aaya?

Daya: Nahi sir...usne mujhe SMS bheja hai ki aaj nahi aayega.

ACP: 😡 Naya forensic doctor aaya kya?

Daya: Aaya nahi aayi hai sir. Dr, Niyati ko yahan temporarily appoint kiya gaya hai.

ACP: Achcha hai...koi naya aadmi aa gaya toh bohot mushkil ho jaata.

Scene : Bureau (2 days later)

ACP: Daya, Abhijeet ka kuch pata chala?

Daya: Sir woh parson Delhi gaya tha...shaayan us nuclear lab se kuch pata karne. Lekin uske baad uska phone band aa raha hai.

ACP: Aaj shaam tak kuch pata na chale toh tum Delhi chale jaao. Sirf 4 din hai agli sunvayi ke liye...aur abhi tak humare paas koi saboot nahi hai. Pata nahi Abhijeet ne apna phone band kyon rakha hai! Koi bhi naarazgi duty ke beech mein nahi aani chahiye.

Daya: Sir, main aur Purvi aaj hi Delhi chale jaate hain.

Scene : Hotel in Delhi

Receptionist: Sir, yeh lijiye room key. Aapka kamra hai room no 307. Aur ma'am aapka kamra hai room no 310.

Daya: Ma'am kya parson yeh aadmi (shows Abhijeet) yahan aaya tha?

Receptionist: Sir mujhe sab logon ke chehre yaad nahi, lekin unka naam batayiye main check kari hoon.

Daya: Inka naam Abhijeet hai.

Receptionist(Checks the computer): Haan sir, inhone parson 4 baje check in kiya tha aur ab tak check out nahi kiya hai.

Daya: Kya? Kaunsa kamre mein hain yeh?

Receptionist: Sir room no 501.

Daya reaches room no 501 where there's a Do not Disturb' board on the latch. Daya knocks but there's no response. He calls the manager.

Manager: Ji sir kya baat hai?

Daya: Is kamre ko master key se kholiye

Manager: Sir, yahan toh Do not disturb' board laga hua hai. Hum nahi khol sakte sir...humare guests ke privacy sawaal hai...Aap samajh rahe hain na.😉

Daya: Main ek CID officer hoon...(shows the badge) aur jo aadmi iss kamre mein thehra hua hai, woh bhi ek CID officer hai. Aisa kuch nahi hai jo aap soch rahe hain. Bas aap kamra kholiye.

The manager hesitates for a few minutes and then opens the door. The room is completely dark and there's no power. The manager puts the access card in the slot and the power comes on.

They find Abhijeet's clothes and stuff scattered around the room.

Daya: Manager, aap log bahar jaayiye.

Purvi: Sir, yahan zaroor kuch gadbad hui hai. Yeh dekhiye...Abhijeet sir ka phone!

Daya goes to the washroom and switches on the light and finds Abhijeet unconscious. Daya pulls him out and sprinkles water on his face. Abhijeet slowly wakes up.

Abhijeet: Woh, nuclear lab...laash...

Daya: Abhijeet! Hosh mein aao...kya hua tha yahan?

Abhijeet: Daya, tum...yahan? Purvi???? Woh laash ko thikaane lagane se roko.

Daya: 😕 Purvi, lagta hai ise koi nashe ka injection diya hai...hospital le chalte hain.

Abhijeet: Nahi...main theek hoon. Paani...

A few minutes later Abhijeet had some strong coffee and was out of his delirium.

Daya: Ab bataao kya hua.

Abhijeet: Main parson Delhi aaya aur yahan check in karne ke baar nuclear lab chala gaya. KD ke mutabik Rajesh 7 baje nuclear lab ke andar gaya tha aur 10 baje baahar aaya. Maine records aur CCTV footage check kiya. Rajesh sachmuch yahan aaya tha.

Daya: Aise kaise ho sakta hai.

Abhijeet: Mujhe bhi hairaani hui. Maine nuclear lab ke scientist Dr. Sharma se poocha ki meeting ke baad yahan se kahan gaye the. Dr Sharma ne kaha ki nuclear lab ne unke liye taxi ka intezaam kiya tha. Maine taxi wale ko dhoondne ki koshish ki.

Tab mujhe pata chala ki taxi wala usi raat se gaayab hai.

Maine taxi wale ka number trace kiya toh pata chala ki woh Dwarka - sector 22 mein kisi bungalow mein hai. Main wahan chala gaya. Maine khidki se jhaankkar dekha toh taxi wala kamre mein ghayal pada hua tha. Main bungalow mein ghusa toh dekha ki ice ke slab par ek laash rakha hua tha aur woh taxi driver mar chuka tha.

Daya: Laash? Ice par? Taaki laash sad na jaaye!

Abhijeet: Haan.

Daya: Lekin laash kiski thi?

Abhijeet: Rajesh ki.

Daya: Kya? Rajesh ki maut ho gayi? Lekin Rajesh toh Mumbai mein hai. Sachin ko kaha tha ki uspar nazar rakhe!

Abhijeet: Sachin ko phone karke poocho.

Daya phones Sachin.

Daya: Abhijeet, Sachin Rajesh ke bungalow ke baahar hai. Woh toh wahin hai.

Purvi: Iska matlab 2 Rajesh hain?

Abhijeet: Mujhe bhi yahi lagta hai. Ek khoon karta hai aur doosra yahan alibi de raha hai.

Daya: Lekin tum yahan kaise pohonch gaye?

Abhijeet: Laash ko dekhte hi, mere sar par kisi ne waar kiya. Ek aurat thi...mujhe sirf itna sunayi diya ki do laashon ko thikaane lagana mushkil hai.

Daya: Do laash? Rajesh ki laash ko ice par rakha gaya tha taaki woh sade nahi...iska matlab woh aurat yeh keh rahi thi ki taxi wale aur tumhare laash - dono ki thikane lagana mushkil hai, isliye tumhe behosh karke yahan chod diya kisi ne.

Abhijeet: Haan, mujhe bhi yahi lagta hai. Agar tum log nahi aate toh main 2-3 din mein apne aap mar jaata.

Daya: Purvi, yahan ka CCTV footage check karo...aur dekho ki Abhijeet ko yahan kisne choda.

Purvi checks the footage. She sees a lady walking in with her husband (disguised with beard and moustache) telling the receptionist that her husband had too much of a drink and is feeling drowsy. The receptionist offers help but she declines. She takes him to room no 501, opens Abhijeet's room and goes in. She comes out with the access card, so that the room has no ventilation or AC, puts the Do not disturb' sign so that no one enters for a few days and walks off.

Purvi is shocked to see the face of the woman. It's none other than Sophiya the lady who had said in court about Salunkhe and Ravi's connection.

She comes to Abhijeet's room and tells duo about this.

Daya: Ise hum baad mein dhoondte hain. Pehle hume Rajesh ki laash ko Dwarka ka bungalow se haasil karna hoga, Abhijeet, tum chal sakte ho?

Abhijeet: Haan, main theek hoon.

Scene : Bungalow in Dwarka

Abhijeet, Daya and Purvi barge in and take control of the preserved dead body of Rajesh.

Sophiya tries to escape but Purvi catches her and gives a hard slap.

Abhijeet phones ACP.

ACP: Abhijeet, kaise ho...Daya ne bataaya ki tum...

Abhijeet: Main theek hoon sir. Hum ek laash ko lekar seedha forensic lab aa rahe hain. Dr Salunkhe tayyar rehne ko kahiye.

ACP: Salunkhe toh nahi aayega, Dr Niyati duty par hai. Lekin laash kiski hai?

Abhijeet: Yeh toh DNA test karne ke baad hi pata chalega sir.

ACP: 😕.

Abhijeet (calls KD): KD, tum shaam ko 5 baje forensic lab mein aa jaao.

KD: Lekin kyon?

Abhijeet: Tum aa jao...sab pata chalega.

Abhijeet(calls Sachin): Sachin, Rajesh ko arrest karo.

Sachin: Theek hai sir.

Scene : Lab

Abhijeet walks into the lab and almost bumps into Niyati. (He was away in Delhi when Niyati arrived, so he wasn't aware that she was here)

Abhijeet(blushes): Hi, aap yahan?

Niyati: Haan, aakhir meri zaroorat pad hi gayi CID team ko.

Abhijeet(looks around): Waise... lagta hai lab ka design hi badal gaya hai.

Niyati: Haan, mere kaam karne ka style alag hai. Mere computer ke liye koi jagah nahi chodi Salukhe sir ne. Isliye unke acid ke bottles ko maine hata diya.

Abhijeet: Achcha kiya aapne...mujhe bhi acids ke smells achche nahi lagte! 😉

ACP: Abhijeet, kaam ki baate karen?

Abhijeet: : Haan sir. Sachin Rajesh ...matlab zinda Rajesh ko laa raha hai. Aur Purvi bureau mein Sophiya se poochtach kar rahi hai.

ACP: Daya, Dr Salunkhe nahi aaye?

Daya: Nahi sir, maine unhe 2 baar bulaya lekin unhone aane se mana kiya.

KD walks in.

Abhijeet: Aao KD.

KD: Kya baat hai? Mujhe is prakaar lab mein kyon bulaya aapne?

Abhijeet: KD, zindagi mein pehli baar tumhe haar maanna padega.

KD: Kisi nirdosh vyakti ko kabhi dand nahi milni chahiye. Aur main bhi wohi case leta hoon jahan mujhe vishwaas hai ki mera muwakil nirdosh hai.

Abhijeet: Lekin iss baar tum haar gaye KD. Pehle iss laash ko dekho.

(and lifts the sheet off the dead Rajesh's face)

KD: 😲

Yeh toh Rajesh hai. Inki mrutyu kab hui?

Abhijeet: Yeh toh Dr Niyati hi bata sakti hai.

Niyati: Iski maut lagbhag 5 dinn pehle hui hai. Iska gardan toot gaya hai...isi wajah se iski maut ho gayi.

KD: Parantu 4 dinn pehle yeh court mein humare samaksh jeevit khade the.

Abhijeet: Woh isliye...kyonki humne iss Rajesh ko nahi balki uss Rajesh ko court mein dekha tha.

(and points to the door where Sachin was standing with the alive Rajesh)

KD: 😲 😲

Niyati: Sir maine inn dono ka DNA test kiya hai. Darasal yeh dono judwe bhai hain. Identical twins. Isliye inn dono ke DNA bhi identical hain.

(http://www.wired.com/2014/12/genetic-test-distinguishes-identical-twins-may-used-court-first-time/ - Scientists have now discovered a way to find differences in DNA of identical twins but it was first found in 2014. We can assume that the method was not in use in India at the time of this story)

Dr Salunkhe ne koi galti nahi ki. Drinks ke bottle par jo saliva mila hai, woh inn dono me se kisi ek ka hai. Aur kyonki hum nahi jaante the ki Rajesh ka ek judwa bhai hai Salunkhe sir ne report mein iss zinda Rajesh ko hi khooni declare kar diya.

Lekin identical twins ke fingerprints ek jaise nahi hote hain. Isliye Delhi ke nuclear lab mein jo fingerprints mile hain, woh iss mare hue Rajesh ke hain. Zinda Rajesh ke nahi. Isliye hum daave ke saath keh sakte hain ki Ravi ke ghar mein yeh zinda Rajesh hi tha.

Daya walks towards the alive Rajesh menacingly and gives him a hard slap. Bata...yeh chakkar kya hai'.

Rajesh: Mujhe phasaya jaa raha hai. KD...tum yahan tamaasha dekh rahe ho???

ACP: KD, Rajesh saalon se tumhara client hai...tum nahi jaante the ki Rajesh ka ek judwa bhai hai?

KD: Nahi ACP saab, main swayam ashcharya-chakit (hairaan) hoon. Rajesh ne kabhi mujhe apne kisi bhai ke baare mein nahi bataaya.

ACP: Toh ab pata kaise chalega ki kaun alsi Rajesh hai aur kaun uska judwa bhai?

KD thinks for a while, walks over to the dead body and looks at his fingers.

ACP: Kya dekh rahe ho. KD?

KD: Yehi hai asli Rajesh, jo mera client hua karta tha.

ACP: Itne yakeen ke saath kaisse keh sakte ho, KD?

KD: Kuch dinn pehle yahan elections hue the. Mujhe achchi tarah se yaad hai ki maine jab Rajesh se subah baat ki toh usne kaha ki woh polling booth mein khada hai. Uske baad woh mujhse milne aaya tha. Aur mujhe bohot achchi tarah se pata hai ko vyakti uss dinn jo mujhse milne aaya tha, woh asli Rajesh hai.

Yeh jo vyakti yahan khada hai, woh jaanta tha ki yadi mujhse 5 minute baat kiya toh mujhe pata chal jayega ki woh asli Rajesh nahi hai. Isliye jab woh arrest hua toh mujhse adhik samay tak baat nahi ki. Isliye mujhe Abhijeet ko phone karke poochna pada ki aakhir hua kya tha.

Aur keval itna hi nahi...court mein hearing ke pashchaat bhi mujhse mile bina hi chala gaya. Jiss Rajesh ko main jaanta tha, woh avashya mujhe dhanyavaad kehta. Main use pehchaan na loon, isliye court se bhaag gaya.

ACP sir, asli Rajesh ki mrutyu ho chuki hai. Aur yeh ko jeevit hai, yeh koi aur hai.

Daya(catches the (live) Rajesh by the collar and gives a hard slap): Bata... kaun hai tu aur Rajesh bankar yahan kab aur kyon aaya!

Rajesh: Nahi bataaoonga. Kar lo jo karna hai. 😡

Purvi comes in with Sophiya.

Purvi: Sir, isne mujhe sach bata diya.

ACP: Achcha, toh hume bhi sunao.

Rajesh: Sophiya...yeh kya kar rahi ho!

Sophiya is silent. Purvi lands another slap on Sophiya's face and she starts talking.

Sophiya: Inka (pointing to the live Rajesh) naam Jaggu hai...Jagdish. Hum dono Gurgaon mein drugs bechne ka business karte the. Ek dinn TV par humne Rajesh ko ek high profile meeting mein dekha. Hum hairan ho gaye, kyonki Jaggu ki shakal Rajesh se bilkul milti hai.

Hume pata chala ki Rajesh nuclear research ke liye components develop kar raha hai. Hum use dhoondte Mumbai aa gaye. Humne kisi tarah Rajesh ka ek baal haasil kiya aur DNA test kiya. Tab pata chala ki Rajesh Jaggu ka judwa bhai hai. Jaggu ke baap ne hume bataya ki uske 2 bete the aur paison ke liye usne ek - matlab Rajesh ko bech diya tha.

Humne plan banaya ki kisi tarah Jaggu Rajesh ki jagah le lega aur Rajesh ke saare paise bank se withdraw kar lega. Phir hum Rajesh ko maarkar faraar ho jayenge aur kisi ko kuch pata nahi chalega. Main 2 mahine pehle Ravi ke office mein aakar uski secretary baan gayi taki Ravi aur Rajesh par nazar rakh sakoon. Rajesh ke bohot saare videos nikaale maine, Jaggu ko Rajesh ke mannerisms seekhne ke liye.

Humara plan theek se chal raha tha, lekin hume pata chala ki Rajesh ke accounts joint names mein hai - Ravi ke saath. Isliye Rajesh Ravi se signature maangne ke liye uske ghar gaya. Ravi ne sign toh kar diya lekin pata nahi kyon - use shaq ho gaya. Isliye Ravi ko maarna pada. Jaggu ne socha ki DNA test se police ko lagega ki Rajesh ne khoon kiya hai. Hum agle din bank se amount withdraw karne hi wale the par hume pata chala ki police Rajesh ke peeche hai. Isliye Jaggu Delhi jaane ke liye airport gaya, lekin CID team ne use pakad li.

Agar Jaggu faraar hone me kaamyaab hota toh 3-4 dinn ke baad hum Rajesh ki laash ko Mumbai laakar yahin kahin fenk dete aur aap logon ko pata bhi nahi chalta ki Jaggu naam ka koi hai.

ACP: Wah, kya plan banaaya! Lekin CID se koi bhi bachkar nahi jaa sakta. Tum dono ko iski sazaa zaroor milegi. Sachin, Purvi le jaao inn dono ko.

KD(sighs): Pehli baar main ek case haar raha hoon.

ACP: Tum case haare nahi KD. Apna case waapas le lo.

KD: Haan, lekin main soch raha hoon ki mujhse yeh galti kaise ho gayi.

Abhijeet: Hum sab insaan hain...galtiyan zaroor hoti hai.

Waise mujhe ek baat poochni thi tumse.

KD: Kya?

Abhijeet: Tumne court mein mujhse thanks kyon kaha? Aisa kya bataaya maine?

KD: Kuch nahi...jaisa maine bataaya, Rajesh...matlab Jaggu ne mujhse theek se baat nahi ki. Tab maine tumhe phone kiya. Socha ki Rajesh pareshaan hai isliye kuch bol nahi paa raha hai.

Baaton baaton mein tumne mujhe bataya ki Rajesh keh raha hai ki woh kahin jaa nahi raha hai balki Delhi se aa raha hai jab tum logon ne use arrest kiya.

Abhijeet: Haan, jab humne use pakda toh yehi kaha usne! Lekin woh departure terminal ke baahar khada tha. Jhoot bol raha tha.

KD: Haan, lekin mujhe ek baat yaad aa gayi thi. Maine hatya ke dinn subah Rajesh ko phone kiya tha. Normally jab Mumbai mein kisi ka phone off hota hai toh Marathi mein message aati hi. Lekin uss din switch off message sirf English aur Hindi mein aaya. Toh mujhe yakeen ho gaya ki Rajesh Mumbai se baahar zaroor gaya hai. Isliye maine Delhi airport se footage mangwayi.

Abhijeet(to Daya and ACP): Sunn liya aapne? Maine Salunkhe sir ke khilaaf KD ko kuch nahi bataaya.

Daya: Abhijeet, humne aisa kab kaha?

Abhijeet: Rehne do, Daya. 😔

...and walks out of the lab.

Scene : Abhijeet's house - late evening

The bell rings and Abhijeet opens the door. It's none other than Salunkhe.

Salunkhe: Kya hua Abhijeet, main koi aatma nahi hoon. Salunkhe hoon. Andar aane ke liye nahi kahoge?

Abhijeet: Ayiye...

Salunkhe: Kaise ho Abhijeet, maine suna ki tum Delhi mein ghayal ho gaye, behosh ho gaye the.

Abhijeet: Yeh sab chalta hai Dr saab...humari duty hi aisi hai.

Salunkhe(awkward silence): Kuch chai-wai nahi pilaoge...adrak wali...???

Abhijeet: Haan, kyon nahi.

..and walks to the kitchen.

Abhijeet returns after a few minutes with a cup of tea and some snacks.

Salunkhe: Abhijeet...main jaanta hoon tum mujhse naraaz ho.

Abhijeet: (silent)

Salunkhe: Mujhe tumhare baare mein aisi baatein nahi kehni chahiye thi.

Abhijeet: Kaisi baatein?

Salunkhe: Woh...kuch nahi...(Salunkhe didnt know that Abhijeet had overheard Nikhil and Pankaj's conversation)

Salunkhe: Actually, Daya gaayab tha aur tumhare pant par Daya ka khoon mila.

Abhijeet: Haan toh?

Salunkhe: Tum bhi gaayab the.

Abhijeet: Toh aapko laga ki maine Daya ko goli maar di?

Salunkhe: Nahi, lekin hum sab gusse mein the ki aisi waqt mein tum kahan chale gaye.

Abhijeet: Dr saab, aapko lagta hai ki main kabhi Daya par goli chala sakta hoon?

Salunkhe: Nahi...

Abhijeet: Phir mujhe CID ki kalank kehne ki kya zaroorat thi?

Salunkhe: 😲 Tumhe kisne bataya?

Abhijeet: Sir, main ek CID officer hoon, kahin se pata laga leta hoon. Aap mujhse itni nafrat kyon karte hain? Isliye ki lab mein aapki taang kheenchta hoon, ya isliye ki Tarika ke saath thoda mazaak kar leta hoon.

Salunkhe: Nahi Abhijeet, aisi koi baat nahi hai...tum jaante ho pichle kuch dino se tumhe lab mein kitna miss kar raha tha?

Abhijeet: Toh kya baat hai Dr saab jiski wajah se aapne mujhe CID ka kalank kaha?

Salunkhe: Sorry Abhijeet...mujhe maaf kar do... bas thoda stressed out tha...aur naraaz tha ki tumne mujhe bataye bina Tarika ko pant par tests karne ke liye kaha.

Bas, apna gussa nikaal raha tha...aur koi baat nahi hai.

Abhijeet: (silent)

Salunkhe: Please Abhijeet, maaf kar do mujhe.

Abhijeet: Theek hai Dr saab...bhool jayiye iss kisse ko.

Salunkhe: Main jaanta tha...tum zaroor mujhe maaf kar doge. Daya ne bhi yehi kaha...

Abhijeet: Daya ne??? Maine use kaha tha ki iss bare mein aapse kuch na kahe...

Salunkhe: Arey yaar...main mazaak kar raha tha.😉 Ab Daya ko beech mein mat laao.

Abhijeet: 😒

Salunkhe: Chalo ab main chalta hoon. Waise,,,chai mein shakkar kum tha. 😉 Apna gussa bhi nikaal liya tumne mujhpar.

Abhijeet: Oh...Aapne mujhe bataya kyon nahi...?

Salunkhe: Rehne do...iss umar mein shakkar kam hi theek hai. 😛

Aur haan, maine suna ki tumhe Niyati ka arrangement zyada pasand hai. Mere acid ke bottles pasand nahi hai tumhe???? Main kal lab mein dekhta hoon tumhe. 😈

Abhijeet : 😆 😛

*** THE END ***

This story has been written in response to Angeliceye's request to write an OS of Salunkhe apologising to Abhijeet.

I wanted to write a story after a long time, so decided to incorporate it in the story.

I hope you are ok with this Angel. 😳

I wrote this story in a huge hurry as I am attending a course and not finding time. The next couple of months will be very hectic for me so I decided to fulfil my commitment somehow today.

Not sure when I'll write a story again. Hope it's not far off. 😊

Author's note: I got this idea from Adi sir bday contest. Somehow it didn't come as per the plot, so I couldn't submit. I thought I'll post it as a separate story as I have some time today and tomorrow and I just felt like writing...as it's Aditya sir's bday too.

The search for Abhijeet

PART - 1

Scene : A remote village

Abhijeet heard voices...'pata nahi kaun hai'...'sheher se lagta hai'...'iski kismat achi thi ki zinda bach gaya'...

He opened his eyes, but everything was dark. He could see a tiny kerosene lamp in the corner of the room and hear the sound of heavy rain and thunder. He struggled to get up but there was a shooting pain in his back and he fell back on what looked like a bed. Aah' he shouted.

The men standing outside walked in.

Elderly man: Baid ji (village doc, usually Ayurvedic) ne kaha hai ki haddi tooti hai. Tumhe lete rehna hai.

Abhijeet: main kahan hoon...aap log kaun hai?

Man: Main yahan ka mukhiya (senior villager, respected by everyone) Shankar Dikshit hoon. Yeh Mandangad gaon hai. Tum kaun ho?

Abhijeet: M..mera naam Abhijeet hai. Main...(decided not to say that he's a cop) Mumbai se hoon. Main...yahan kaise pohoncha?

Shankar: humare gaon ka machwara Pandu macchi pakadke waapas laut raha tha toh dekha ki tumhari gaadi khai mein giri padi hai. Phir hum sab ne badi mushkil se tumhe gaadi se nikaala aur yahan le aaye.

Abhijeet: Shukriya...(deep breath) aapke paas koi phone hai? M..Mujhe apne t..team ko bataana hai ki main yahan hoon.

Shankar: Post office mein ek phone hai lekin baarish ki wajah se 3-4 dinn se woh bandh padi hai.

Abhijeet:Nahi...mm...mera matlab koi m..mobile phone nahi hai aapke paas?

Shankar: Haha...woh toh sirf TV mein dikhate hai..humare gaon mein aaj tak kisi bhi mobile company ne tower nahi lagaaya. Bhushan ka beta bohot pyar se apne maa-baap ke liye khareedkar laya tha, lekin woh yahan se 15 km door Akola gaon mein hi kaam karta hai.

Abhijeet: Toh main apne team ko kaise bataaonga ki main yahan hoon? Woh pareshaan ho rae honge.

Shankar: filhaal kuch nahi ho sakta. Tum pehle theek ho jaao, tab tak post office ka phone bhi theek ho ayega.

Abhijeet: Post office ka phone? Matlab aap logon ke paas koi phone nahi hai?

Shankar: Yeh ek chota gaon hai, beta. Yahan sab log usi phone se kaam chala lete hain. Hume kisi aur phone ki zaroorat nahi padi.

2 men walk in.

Shankar: Chalo, baid ji waapas aa gaye. Woh tumhare kamar ka ilaaj karenge.

Abhijeet looks at the crushed leaves and oils the baid' was carrying: Ilaaj? Yeh ilaaj karenge?

Shankar: humare gaon mein koi aspatal (hospital) nahi hai. Yahan baidji ke aushadhiyon se hi sabka ilaaj hota hai.

Abhijeet: Aushadhi! 😲 mujhe bohot dard ho rahi hai...please aap mujhe kisi hospital le jayiye...X Ray nikalwana hai.

Shankar: Bada aspataal toh yahan se 50 km ki doori par hai...aur baarish ki wajah se road bandh hai. Tum ab wahan nahi ja sakte.

Baid ji: Aap chinta mat karo...main 4-5 dinn mein aapke kamar ko theek kar doonga.

The Baid called his assistants, brought out his hot oil and crushed some leaves which smelt of eucalyptus mixed with some other strong odours. The assistants helped turn Abhijeet onto his back and started their treatment'. Abhijeet's brain went numb...into another world...the previous time he had been in so much pain was when he was kidnapped by goons and left to die in the boot of a car.

Flashback (one day back)

Scene : Hotel in Goa.

Abhijeet(picks his phone): Haan, Daya?

Daya: ACP sir ne kaha hai ki aaj shaam tak saboot milna chahiye warna Kumar ko chodna padega.

Abhijeet: Mujhe saboot mil gayi hai. Kumar yahan bohot baar Reena ke saath aaya tha. Yahan ke hotels se mujhe CCTV ke footage bhi mile hain. Maine use pen drive mein save kiya hai. Kumar jaanta hai Reena ko. Chodna mat use.

Daya: Lekin woh maanne ko tayyar hi nahi hai.

Abhijeet: Yeh footage dekhega toh use sach ko manna hi padega.

Daya: Theek hai. Shaan tak waapas aao, warna us Chitroley ko toh tum jaante hi ho...

Abhijeet: Haan...main bas nikal raha hoon.

Abhijeet packed his stuff and the pen drive and called the bell boy to pick his luggage. The bell boy arrived when Abhijeet was having one last look at the CCTV footage on his pen drive through an OTG cable on his phone.

Bell Boy: Sir, mujhe aapse kuch kehna hai.

Abhijeet: Kya?

Bell Boy: Sir, aap jiska video dekh rahe hain, maine uss madam ko kuch dinn pehle yahan dekha tha...aap unka video kyon dekh rahe hain?

Abhijeet(instead of answering): Tumne ise dekha? Kya kar rahi thi yahan?

Bell Boy: Sir, kuch din pehle, inke saath jo aadmi hai unse milne kuch log aaye the. Kuch gunde type ke log.

Abhijeet: Achcha???? Phir?

Bell Boy: Woh log room no 205 mein baithkar baatein kar rahe the aur yeh madam chupkar baahar se unki baatein sunn rahi thi.

Abhijeet: Phir???

Bell Boy: Phir achanak yeh aadmi bahar aaya aur madam ko dekh liya. Usne madam ko 203 mein le jaakar muh par patti baandhkar bandh kar diya.

Abhijeet: Tumne yeh sab dekha?

Bell Boy: Haan sir.

Abhijeet: Aur uss aadmi ne tumhe nahi dekha?

Bell Boy: Nahi sir. Main corridor ke beech mein jo store room hai, wahan chup gaya.

Abhijeet: Phir?

Bell Boy: Phir thodi der baad main master key lekar andar gaya ...unhe bachane. Lekin unhone mana kiya aur kaha ki unke phone mein ek video hai...use police ko dikha do. Aur unhone mujhe ek video whatsapp mein fwd kiya.

Abhijeet: Tumhe whatsapp istemaal karna aata hai?

Bell Boy: Haan sir...😳

Abhijeet: Kya vide hai...zara dikhao...

The Bell boy shows a video which Reena had shot while hiding behind the door of room 205, through a very narrow opening. Minister Jai Kishan was seated and so was Kumar. A couple of goons were visible as they walked across. The word 21 July was audible Then Jai Kishan handed over a bag to one of the goons and suddenly someone noticed Reena near the door and she stopped recording.

Abhijeet: Phir kya hua?

Bell Boy: Phir uss madam ne mujhe wahan se bhaag jaane ko kaha.

Abhijeet: Aur tum bhaag gaye?

Bell Boy: Haan sir...

Abhijeet: Tumhe seedha police ke paas jaana chahiye tha...jaante ho...iss ladki ka khoon hua hai.

Bell Boy: 😲 Sir main darr gaya tha...hotel manager ko bataaya toh unhone mujhe apna muh bandh rakhne ko kaha...

Abhijeet(gives an angry frustrated look.): Uske baad tumhe uss madam ko dekha?

Bell Boy: Nahi sir. Subah mera shift khatam ho gaya aur main ghar chala gaya. Agle dinn pata chala ki in sab logon ne check out kiya hai.

Abhijeet went to room no 203, requested the guests to allow him to check if there was any evidence left over by the cleaning staff. He couldn't find any, except the video sent by the bell boy. It didn't make much sense, but he knew that there was something going to happen on July 21 which was a week away. He decided to return to Mumbai and interrogate Jai Kishan and Kumar about it.

He checked out, got into his car and started off for Mumbai.

The hotel manager asked the Bell Boy what he was talking to the customer for such a long time. The Bell boy told him that it was about the lady who was tied up in room no 203.

A few minutes later, the manager picked up his phone and dialled a number.

Scene: Highway.

Abhijeet had driven for about 3 hours and it was raining very heavily and visibility was poor. He decided to stop at a roadside dhaba and refresh himself.

After the short break, he started driving again but this time he noticed that the brakes weren't working. He decided to get off the highway and went into a jungle road, hoping there wouldn't be any oncoming traffic. But he was wrong...he saw another car coming from the opposite side and tried to avoid them. He veered off the road and went crashing downhill through the jungle. He could see flames from the engine, but lost consciousness before he could get out.

Luckily for Abhijeet it was raining heavily and the flames were put out before they roasted him alive.

Back to present.

Scene : Bureau

Daya: Sir Abhijeet parson raat ko lautne wala tha. Ab tak uski koi khabar nahi hai.

ACP: Phone ko trace kiya?

Daya: Haan sir...uska phone Nagpur mein kal subah on hua aur 5 minute baad switch off ho gaya.

ACP: Nagpur? Lekin Abhijeet toh Goa gaya tha, investigation ke liye.

Daya; Wohi toh sir...usne mujhe us din subah phone bhi kiya tha...ki woh Goa mein hai aur raat tak waapas aa jayega.

ACP: Toh achanak Nagpur mein kya kar raha hai? Tum Nagpur police ko Abhijeet ka photo bhejo aur dhoondne ko kaho.

Scene: Bureau

Chitroley walks in.

ACP: Good morning sir

Chitroley: Main kya sunn raha hoon Pradyuman? Tumne minister ke bete Kumar ko arrest karke yahan rakha hai?

ACP: Arrest nahi sir...bas poochtach kar rae hain.

Chitroley: Main jaanta hoon tumhare poochtach' ka matlab kya hai.

ACP: Sir, yeh ek important case hai sir...hum jaante hain ki actress Reena ne suicide nahi kiya, minister Jai Kishan ne uska murder karvaya hai. Reena ka Kumar ke saath affair chal raha tha.

Chitroley: Yeh tumhe kaise pata?

ACP: Sir Abhijeet poochtach karne Goa gaya hai...aur use koi thos saboot bhi mili hai. woh aata hi hoga.

Chitroley: Lekin woh toh 2 dinn pehle aane wala tha...kab tak Kumar ko yahan qaid karoge? Oopar se pressure hai...chod do use.

Daya (comes out of interrogation room exactly then): Yeh kya keh rahe hain sir...hume yeh case solve karna hai.

Chitroley: Daya, tumhe maar-peet ke alava koi aur tareeka nahi aata case solve karne ka? Chod do Kumar ko, that's an order!

Daya lets Kumar leave. Chitroley too leaves.

Daya: Sir , aise chata raha toh hum koi bhi case solve nahi kar sakte.

ACP: Daya, humare paas saboot nahi hai...isliye hum use zyada der tak yahan nahi rakh sakte. Media ko pata chala toh humari dhajjiyan uda denge.

Freddie (comes in): Sir, maine Abhijeet sir ke phone ko trace kiya. Woh Goa se Mumbai aa rahe the, lekin raste mein ya toh signal nahi tha ya phone switch off ho gaya. Uske baad unka phone Nagpur city mein on hua aur aadhe ghante mein phir se switch off ho gaya.

ACP: Goa se Mumbai aa raha tha aur achanak Nagpur chala gaya?

Daya: Sir, agar woh kisi wajah se Abhijeet Nagpur jaata toh phone switch on karte hi hume zaroor batata. Aur woh phone ko phir se switch off kyon karega? Aur usne mujhe bataya tha ki woh seedha Mumbai hi aa raha hai.

ACP: Agar Abhijeet Goa se Nagpur gaya hai toh NH52/53 se hi gaya hoga. Kyonki 18 ghante mein uska phone wahan pohonch gaya. Kisi aur route se jaata toh zyada der lag jaati. Nagpur ke paas NH53 par jo toll booth hai, local police se kaho ki uss toll booth ka CCTV footage hume bhejein.

After a few hours.

Daya: sir, CCTV footage mil gaya aur Fredricks ne poora footage check kiya. Lekin Abhijeet ki gaadi Nagpur pohonchi hi nahi.

ACP: toh phir uska phone akele Nagpur kaise pohoncha?

Daya; Sir, mujhe kuch theek nahi lag raha hai, mujhe lagta hai Abhijeet ke phone ko koi aadmi churakar Nagpur laya aur switch on kiya taaki humein gumraah kar sake.

ACP: Ek kaam karo...tum aur Fredricks Goa jaao...aur dhoondo Abhijeet ko. Mujhe lagta hai raste mein hi uske saath kuch hua hai.

PART - 2

Scene : Goa hotel

Daya and Freddie reach the hotel to find a huge crowd gathered and local police investigating. Daya walks up to one of the cops and shows his ID.

Daya: Main Sr Insp Daya, Mumbai CID se hoon.

Cop: Main Insp Gaurav. (shakes hands)

Daya: Yahan kya hua?

Gaurav: Yahan ek aadmi ki maut hui hai...terrace se gir gaya hai.

Daya: Kya? Kaun hai woh?

Gaurav: Yahan ka bell boy hai.

Daya looks at the bell boy's body. His investigative mind tells him there's something wrong here. But decides to first find Abhijeet. He asks Freddie to just walk around the hotel to see if Abhijeet is there.

Daya(walks up to the manager): Yahan parson ek Mr Abhijeet thehre hue the. Aap bata sakte hain ki woh kahan hai?

Hotel Manager: Unhone toh 3 dinn pehle hi check out kiya tha.

Daya: silent

Hotel Manager: Kya hua sir?

Daya: Darasal woh Mumbai pohonchne wale the lekin gaayab hai. Hum unhe dhoond rahe hain.

Gaurav(who was investigating, suddenly catches the gayab' word): Kya hua officer? Kaun gaayab hain?

Daya(takes him aside): Sr Insp Abhijeet (shows the pic), yahan ek case ke silsile mein aaye the.

Gaurav: Kya aap us case ke baare mein bata sakte hain? Kya pata, iss aadmi ki maut ka aur Sr Insp Abhijeet ke lapata hone ke beech mein koi connection ho????

Freddie(who had joined the conversation): Kya matlab hai aapka? 😕, aap kehna chahte hain ki Abhijeet sir ka iss aadmi ke maut ke saath koi taaluk hai?

Gaurav: Dekhiye, mujhe galat mat samjhiye...yahan ek crime hua hai. Aapka officer kisi aur crime ko investigate karne aaya tha...aur woh khud gayab hai. Humare profession mein coincidences' ke liye koi jagah nahi hai. Aap samajh rahe hain na???

Daya(gives him an understanding look and smiles): Haan, main samajhta hoon. Actually Reena naam ki ek TV actress hai. Uska khoon hua tha kuch dinn pehle. Hume pata chala ki maut ke ek dinn pehle woh apne boyfriend Kumar ke saath isi hotel mein aayi thi. Usi silsile mein Abhijeet yahan aaya tha.

Gaurav: Oh...hum aisa karte hain. Iss hotel mein jo bhi hua - hum uski tehkikaat karte hain. Aap Sr Insp Abhijeet ko dhoondiye. Iss case ke silsile mein hume jo bhi pata chalega, aapko batayenge.

Daya: Theek hai. Thank you.

Freddie: Sir maine entrance ke paas wale CCTV ke footage ko dekha. Abhijeet sir theek 10 baje yahan se nikal gaye the. Lekin sir...Meri samajh mein yeh nahi aa raha hai ki unka phone 10 baje se bandh kyon tha. 😕

Daya : Mujhe yaad aaya. Abhijeet kuch dino se naya phone khareedne ki baat ka raha tha.

Freddie: Naya phone?

Daya: woh keh raha the ki uske phone ka battery weak ho gaya hai aur achanak apne aap off ho raha hai. Maine yeh bhi socha hum use ek naya phone gift karenge.

Freddie: Arey sir...toh us phone ko isi waqt fail hona tha?

Daya: Hmmm...woh drive kar raha tha, isliye notice nahi kiya ki phone off hai.

Freddie:Phir woh phone Nagpur kaise pohoncha sir?

Daya: Chura liya hoga kisi ne.

Freddie: Lekin Abhijeet sir ke haath se koi phone chori kaise kar sakta hai sir. Mujhe yeh namumkin kag raha hai.

Daya: Normally toh namumkin hai, lekin...(looks worried)

Freddie: Lekin kya sir.

Daya: Agar uske saath kuch bura hua hai toh...

Freddie: Aisa mat kahiye sir!

Daya(shows urgency): chalo Freddie!

Scene : Goa - Mumbai highway.

Daya and Freddie visit each toll gate on the highway and check if Abhijeet had crossed the gate. Finally they reach a gate near Koganoli where the toll officers say that Abhijeet's car had not crossed the gate.

Daya: Freddie...Abhijeet 2 baje Belagavi toll booth cross kiya...lekin Koganoli nahi pohoncha. Iska matlab Belagavi aur Koganoli ke beech mein kahin kho gaya hai.

Freddie: Lekin sir...Belagavi aur Koganoli ke beech ka rasta 100 km hai. Aur hum wahin se toh aa rahe hain...unki gaadi kahin nahi mili.

Daya: hume phirse dhoondna hoga.

Daya drives back to Belagavi.

Scene : Mandangad

Abhijeet woke up. It was still raining heavily. His back was still painful, but the Baidji had made a bandage which gave some support. He still couldn't get up.

He lay on the bed and tried to remember what was happening.

He was in Goa 3 days back investigating the Reena murder case...got a video which Reena had shot on her mobile, the Bell Boy had seen minister Jaikishan and his son Kumar (Reena's boyfriend) giving a bag (full of money, he guessed) to some goons...maybe to kill Reena...but he had heard 21 July in the video. But Reena was killed much earlier, which meant that Reena was not the target. Someone else was going to be killed on 21 July and it was just 4 days away. He had to stop it and the only way was to arrest Jaikishan and Kumar and interrogate them and in his present state he couldn't move. He couldn't even inform his team because there was no working phone in this village. His own phone was missing and there was no way of trying to find it. The video in question was with the Bell Boy in the Goa hotel. He decided that he had to get up and get to work.

Abhijeet: Suniye, koi hai?

A teenaged boy came in.

Abhijeet: Tum kaun ho?

Boy: Main Balwant.

Abhijeet: Balwant...mujhe yahan se jaana hai. Zara meri madad karo.

Balwant: Nahi saab, Baidji ne kaha hai ki aapko 3 dinn lete rehna hai.

Abhijeet: Chodo baid ji ko...mujhe isi waqt Mumbai pohonchna hai. Please...zara haath do mujhe.

Balwant unwillingly holds Abhijeet's hands and Abhijeet tries to get up. He sits up, puts an arm on Balwant's shoulder and takes 2 steps but then his back gives way and he falls down.

Within minutes Shankar and the Baidji come into the room.

Baid ji: Balwant...Maine kaha tha na tumse...ki inhe uthne mat dena?

Balwant: Lekin, baid ji...yeh meri baat nahi maan rahe hain.

Shankar: Dekho beta...humari baat mano aur 3 dinn yahin lete raho. Uske baad tum chal paaoge.

Abhijeet: Aahh...aap m..meri baat samajhne ki k...koshish kijiye. Mujhe isi waqt Mumbai pohonchna hai. Warna gadbad ho gayegi.

Shankar: Kaisi gadbad?

Abhijeet: Woh..main aapko bata nahi sakta...lambi kahani hai.

Shankar looks at the Baidji and Balwant and tells them by expressions to go out. They both leave.

Shankar: Aisi kya museebat aa padi hai ki tumhe jaane ki itni jaldi hai? Jaante ho? Mumbai jaane ka rasta bandh hai...baarish ki wajah se.

Abhijeet: Kuch kijiye mukhiya ji...Mujhe apne team ko phone karna hai.

Shankar: Tum baar baar team ki baat kar rahe ho...apne parivaar se baat nahi karni hai kya tumhe?

Abhijeet: nahi...mera koi nahi hai.

Shankar: Kya???

Abhijeet: Haan...mera team hi mera parivaar hai.

Shankar: Team? Kaunsa team? Koi cricket ya football khelte ho kya tum?

Abhijeet: Nahi...main ek CID officer hoon.

Shankar: Tum...police wale ho?

Abhijeet: Haan...main ek case ke silsile mein Goa gaya tha...aur raste mein mera accident ho gaya. 21 July ko ...kuch hone wala hai...mujhe use rokna hai. Isliye mujhe isi waqt jaana padega.

Shankar: Post office ka phone abhi tak theek nahi hua hai...pata nahi kab theek karenge use.

Ek kaam karo...tum mujhe apne kisi saathi ka number do, Main Balwant ko paas wale gaon me bhejkar phone karvata hoon.

Abhijeet: bohot bohot Shukriya. Unke numbers likhiye...9757993333 - Daya. Aur 9658966663 - ACP Pradyuman. Unhe kahiye ki July 21 ko kuch hone wala hai aur hume use rokna hai.

Abhijeet knew that ACP and Daya would understand what that meant...and he didn't want to talk about murder and supari here.

Scene : Highway, near Belagavi toll booth.

Freddie: Ab hum yahan se kahan doondenge sir?

Daya: Freddie, yeh jagah Goa se 100 km ki doori par hai. Goa se Abhijeet 10 baje ko nilka tha aur yahan sirf 2 baje ko pohoncha. Abhijeet highway par normally 80-100 km/hr speed par chalata hai...toh use 4 ghante kyon lagi yahan pohonchne mein?

Freddie: Woh kahin lunch ke liye ruke honge sir.

Daya: Lunch ke liye agar ruka hota toh bhi woh 1/2 ghante se zyada nahi rukta.

He walks to the toll booth officer and asks kya 3 dinn pehle yahan baarish hui thi?'

Toll officer : Haan sir...bohot zor se baarish hui thi...road bilkul dikhayi nahi de raha tha.

Daya(walks away): Suna tumne...zor se baarish ho rahi thi. Isliye Abhijeet bohot dheere gaadi chala raha tha.

Main yahan se gaadi dheere chalata hoon. Tum aas paas dekhte raho.

Daya starts off again in reverse direction towards Koganoli.

After driving for about 45 minutes,

Freddie: Sir...

Daya: Kya hai?

Freddie: Sir...mujhe bohot bhook lagi hai sir...wahan ek dhaaba hai...

Daya: Abhijeet lapata hai...pata nahi uske saath kya hua hai...au tumhe iss waqt khaane ki padi hai, Freddie...???

Freddie: Sir...bas ek vada pav aur chai lete hain sir. Bas 5 minute.

Daya: Hmmm...chalo.

Freddie went to the stall to buy the stuff and Daya waited near the parking spot, thinking. It was highly likely that Abhijeet might have stopped at this spot to refresh himself. He walked towards the dhaba.

Freddie: Sir...maine aapke liye bhi vada pav khareeda hai sir...pehle aap khayiye...main drive karta hoon.

Daya: Ek minute Freddie...

He goes to the guy near the counter and shows Abhijeet's photo.

Kya aapne iss aadmi ko 3 dinn pehle yahan dekha?

Guy near the counter: Sir, yahan bohot saare log aate hain...ab kis kis ko yaad rakhenge?

Daya: Zara yaad karne ki koshish kijiye. Dopahar ko 3 baje ke aaas paas...bohot zor se baarish ho rahi thi uss din...shayad bohot kum customers aaye honge.

Counter guy(checks his billing system): Uss dinn dopahar 3 baje ke aas paas ko sirf 2 customers aaye the. Ek ne vada pav aur masala chai liya tha aur doosre ne sirf adrak wali chai aur ek plain pav li thi. Mujhe thoda ajeeb laga.

Waiter: Haan sir...Mujhe bhi yaad hai...maine unse kaha bhi..ki humara vada pav bohot famous hai, lekin unhone kaha ki woh sirf plain pav khayenge.

Freddie: Sir...Abhijeet sir vada pav nahi khaate...kyonki vade mein alu hai.

Daya: Haan Freddie...iska matlab Abhijeet yahan tak toh aaya tha. Chalo aage dekhte hain.

Flashback:

Abhijeet finished his plain pav and tea. He then went to the washroom. The other guy who was following him from Goa walked towards Abhijeet's car and disconnected the brakes. No one noticed as it was raining and the cars were parked in the backyard of the dhaba. He started off his own car and went ahead, hoping he would see Abhijeet's out-of-control car soon.

Abhijeet came out and looked at his phone. It was off again. He was sick of this annoying habit of his 2-year old phone and swore to buy one as soon as he reached Mumbai. He turned it on, but it wouldn't catch a signal. He also noticed that the video which he had tried whatsapping to Daya from Goa was still stuck with a Retry' message. He decided to quickly reach an area where there would be a proper signal.

He started the car but realised that something was terribly wrong with it. He drove for a km wondering how to stop the car and noticed a BMW ahead and it was the one which was also there at the dhaba. He wondered if this guy had something to do with it, but first he had to get off the highway and avoid the heavy traffic.

(The rest is known to the reader)

Back to present.

Daya drove for sometime and stopped at a point.

Freddie: Kya hua sir?

Daya: Hum teesri baar iss raste se jaa rahe hain. Hum jald hi Koganoli pohonch jaayenge. Mujhe nahi lagta highway mein ghoomne se koi fayda hoga. Humein koi aur idea sochna padega.

Exactly at that moment his phone rang.

Daya: Hello??

Balwant: Kya aap Daya ji hain?

PART - 3

Daya: Haan, main Sr Insp Daya hoon.

Balwant: Main Balwant hoon. Mandangad mein rehta hoon. Aapko phone karne ke liye Akola aaya hoon.

Daya(something told him this was about Abhijeet): Ok...aage bolo.

Balwant: Abhijeet naam ka aadmi humare gaon mein hain. Unka accident hua hai.

Daya: Accident???? 😲

Freddie: Accident? Kiska sir?

Daya(into the phone): Woh zinda hai?

Balwant: Haan ji, woh zinda hai. Lekin unki kamar ki haddi tooti hai aur woh uth nahi paa rahe hain.

Daya: OMG...mujhe usse baat karni hai. Phone do use.

Balwant: darasal humare gaon mein mobile signal nahi hai. Main 15 km door doosre gaon me aakar phone kar raha hoon. Unhone appse yeh kehne ko kaha hi July 21 ko kuch hone wala hai aur use rokna hai.

Daya: Kya hone wala hai?

Balwant: Yeh toh unhone nahi bataya.

Daya: Achcha, theek hai. Phone karne ke liye shukriya. Abhijeet se kaho ki hum log wahan jald hi pohonch jayenge.

Cuts the call.

Freddie: Kya hua sir? Abhijeet sir ka accident hua?

Daya: Haan Freddie. Hume Mandangad gaon pohonchna hai.

Freddie: Yeh kahan hai sir?

Daya: Google map dekho Freddie.

Freddie: Sir Google map nahi khul raha hai. Mera phone toh 2G signal dikha raha hai.

Daya: Kisi se poochte hain.

After a few hours of driving with instructions from local villagers Daya reaches the road which goes towards Mandangad and finds that the road is blocked midway due to a landslide.

Daya (walks to a forest officer standing nearby): yahan se Mandangad kitni door hai?

Forest officer: Yahan se 15 km hai lekin landslide ki wajah se road bandh hai.

Daya: Paidal chalne ka koi rasta?

Forest officer: Paidal toh jungle se hi jaana padega...woh dekiye...(points towards a valley between 2 hills) aapko yahan se neeche utarkar uss pahad par chadna hoga. Yeh road jo hai - 5 km ghoom phir kar wahin aake milega. Wahan se aage 10 km aap chaklar jaa sakte hain.

(Just to give you a picture...they had to climb down from the road into the valley below and climb back up till the road shown by the black arrow. )

Daya(looks at the valley): Yeh road kab tak khulega? Aapko koi idea hai?

Forest officer: Kam se kam 10 dinn toh lagenge...agar beech mein fir se baarish nahi hui toh.

Daya: Hum yeh gaadi yahin chod rahe hain. Zara dhyan rakhna.

Forest officer: Dekhiye..main bas mazaak kar raha tha. Yeh trekking season bhi nahi hai aur aapke paas koi trekking ka samaan bhi nahi hai.

Daya(shows his ID): Hum CID officers hain. Hume kisi bhi tarah Mandangad pohonchna hai.

Daya and Freddie get down the mountainous path and reach the bottom. There they find Abhijeet's half burnt car hidden among the trees.

Daya: Iss gaadi ki haalat dekhkhar toh mujhe lagta hai Abhijeet ki kismat achchi thi ki woh zinda bach gaya.

Freddie: Lekin Abhijeet sir iss road par kya karne aaye the? Woh toh seedha Mumbai aane wale the...aur unka accident kaise hua?

Daya(checks the bonnet): Freddie, iss gaadi ki brakes fail kar di gayi hai. Abhijeet us dhaabe tak toh pohonch gaya tha aur gaadi ko park bhi kiya...matlab tab tak brakes theek hi the. Jab woh dhaabe mein tha, tab kisi ne brakes ke saath ched chaad ki hai.

Freddie: Zarroo woh doosra aadmi hoga sir...vada pav aur masala chai wala.

Daya: Haan...lagta hai Goa se peecha kar raha tha Abhijeet ka. Aur jab Abhijeet ko pata chala ki brakes fail ho gayi hai, tab woh turn lekar iss road par aaya, kyonki aage chadhaav hai, toh shayad gaadi slow down ho jaaye.

Freddie: Lekin chadhaav tak pohonchne se pehle hi unka accident ho gaya. 😔

Daya: Ajeeb baat hai..jisne bhi Abhijeet ka phone churaya, yahan neeche aakar phone churakar Nagpur ki ore chala gaya. Matlab Abhijeet ke phone mein kuch aisa tha, jo woh nahi chahta tha ki CID ke haath lag jaye.

Freddie: Ab woh kya tha, yeh toh Abhijeet sir hi bata sakte hain.

Daya: Iss gaadi ko hum baad mein chek karte hain...shaam ho gayi hai...hume gaon pohonchna hai.

Freddie: Iss suitcase ko uthakar toh hum oopar nahi chad sakte sir.

Daya: Suitcase ko yahin chod do...main 2-3 pants aur shirts apne backpack mein rakh leta hoon.

Daya and Freddie climbed up the hill on the other side and finally reached the road. Then they walked for another 10 km and reached Mandangad late at night. They located Shankar's home where Abhijeet was staying.

There was no power and only a small lamp was lit in Shankar's house. Daya and Freddie introduced themselves and walked into Abhijeet's room.

Abhijeet was fast asleep when he heard Daya calling out his name. He opened his eyes and thought he was dreaming.

Daya(tapped his shoulder) : Abhijeet!!!

(contd...)

Part - 4 (concluding part)

Abhijeet(woke up and realised that he was not dreaming): Daya, Freddie tum dono yahan!!

Daya: Haan, boss. Yeh kya haalat bana rakhi hai tumne?

Abhijeet: Itni jaldi kaise aa gaye tum dono?

Daya: hum log tumhe dhoondhte dhoondte uss dhabe tak pohonch gaye the jahan se tumne plain pav aur adrak chai li thi.

Abhijeet: Bohot accha lag raha hai tumhe yahan dekhkar. Lekin tum dono yahan pohonche kaise? Yeh log toh keh rahe hain ki landslide hua hai aur road bandh hai.

Freddie: Hum dono do pahaadon ke beech trekking karke aa rahe hain sir!

Abhijeet: Trekking! Iss mausam mein...jaate ho kitna khatarnaak hai?

Daya(smiles): Rehne do boss. Humari chodo...tum bataao...kaise ho?

Abhijeet: Dekh rahe ho na...lagta hai fracture hai. Lekin yahan koi hospital nahi hai jahan X Ray nikaal sake.. Yahan ke baid ji mera ilaaj kar rahe hain. Bina anesthesia ke...bina painkillers ke.

Daya: Omg, bohot dard ho raha hoga tumhe... Mere paas pain killers hain...filhaal inhe le lo...aur so jaao. Main doosre gaon jaakar ACP sir ko phone karke aata hoon. Yahan signal tower nahi hai. Freddie, tum yahin raho.

Abhijeet: Daya, ek minute...mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai.

Daya: Ab tum aaraam karo. Main sambhal loonga.

Abhijeet: Nahi...meri baat suno...July 21 ko kuch hone wala hai.

Daya: Kya??

Abhijeet: Woh toh theek se pata nahi. Mere phone mein ek video tha. Use recording studio mein le jaakar analyse karna padega.

Daya: Lekin tumhara phone toh Nagpur mein hai.

Abhijeet: Nagpur???

Daya: Haan...(and explains how they had detected the signal in Nagpur)

Abhijeet: Lekin mera phone toh mere paas gaadi mein hi tha. Phir woh Nagpur kaise pohoncha?

Daya: Tumhe lagta hai in logon mein se koi...??

Abhijeet: Nahi Daya. Yeh log bohot achche hain...mere jaise anjaan aadmi ki jaan bachayi hai in logo ne. Mujhe lagta hai koi Goa se mera peecha kar raha tha. Aur usine gaadi ki brakes fail kar di.

Koi baat nahi...Goa ke hotel mein ek Bell Boy hai. Uske paas uss video ka copy hai. Usse le lenge.

Daya: Boss...Bell boy mar chuka hai.

Abhijeet: Kya!!!???

Daya: Haan...hum Goa se hi aa rahe hain. Uss video mein aisa tha kya???

Abhijeet explains what he had heard from the Bell Boy and the fact that minister JaiKishan and his son Kumar had given a supari to someone...not sure who and that someone was going to be killed on 21 July. Reena probably heard the name of the person who was going to be killed, so they had killed her and also the Bell boy as he had told a CID officer about it.

Daya: Main ACP sir ko batakar aata hoon.

Abhijeet: Sambhalkar jaana...15 km hai.

Daya returns well after midnight.

Daya: Boss, maine ACP saab ko July 21 ke baare mein bata diya... Aur maine Goa ke Insp Gaurav se pata kiya. Uss Bell Boy ka phone bhi gayab hai.

Freddie: Sir Reena ke mobile se shayad video mil sakti hai.

Daya: Reena ka mobile humare custody mein pehle se hi hai. Hume usme koi video nahi mili. Aur kisi saboot ke bina hum minister aur uske bete ko arrest nahi kar sakte.

Abhijeet: Hum yahan baithkar kuch nahi kar sakte. Kal subah hote hi Mumbai ke liye nikalte hain.

Daya: Hum' nahi. Sirf main jaaonga. Tum iss halat mein jungle mein trekking kaise karoge? Freddie, tum yahin raho, iske saath. Jab road khul jayega, tab main Mumbai se ambulance bhejta hoon.

Abhijeet: Lekin...

...but Daya walks out without listening. Abhijeet thinks for a few seconds and tells Freddie

Freddie, tum bhi Daya ke saath jao. Case solve karna zyada zaroori hai. Main yahin rukta hoon'.

Freddie: Lekin sir...aap yahan akele kaise rahenge?

Abhijeet: Main akela nahi hoon...yeh log bohog achche hain...4-5 dinn ki toh baat hai...road theek hote hi main aa jaaonga. Ab tum dono so jaao.

Freddie: Theek hai sir...lekin apna khayal rakhna.

At 3AM Abhijeet woke up. He saw both Daya and Freddie fast asleep. They had a very rough day and were really tired.

He pushed himself up with his elbows. His back still hurt but not as bad as 2 days back. Daya's painkillers were helping too. He held onto the window beside him and hauled himself up. He walked very slowly to the next room where Shankar was sleeping and knocked gently on the door.

Shankar(opens the door): Arey tum??? Is waqt? Baidji ne kaha na...ki zyada der khade mat rehna? Baitho...

Abhijeet: Mujhe kal waapas jaana hai.

Shankar: Tum iss halat mein kaise jaaoge beta?

Abhijeet: Aapke paas koi gaadi hai?

Shankar: Mere paas toh nahi hai lekin woh Lalith yahan tourist taxi chalata hai...uske paas gaadi hai.

Abhijeet: Aap Lalith se kahiye ki...

(explains his plan)

Shankar: Bohot ziddi ho tum...bilkul mere bete ke jaisa.

Abhijeet: Lekin aapka beta hai kahan?

Shankar: Ek accident mein maara gaya - 3 saal pehle.

Abhijeet( after a couple of minutes): Aapka ehsaan main kabhi nahi bhooloonga. Aapke saath yahan rehkar mujhe bohot achcha laga, kabhi bhi meri zaroorat pade toh mujhe zaroor phone kijiye. Main zaroor aapse milne waapas aaoonga.

Shankar smiles.

Next day morning, Daya and Freddie got ready. Balwant was ready with his bike. He was asked to drop them off at the place where they could get down the hill and then climb back to the place where the CID vehicle was parked.

Daya (came into Abhijeet's room): Dhayaan rakhna boss. Main jald hi waapas aaoonga.

Abhijeet: Hmm...

Daya: Kya hua? Bohot restless lag rahe ho...

Abhijeet: Nahi...bas...case ke baare mein soch raha tha. Tum jaao. Good luck.

Daya: Sure???

Abhijeet: Haan, sure...

Daya wasn't convinced...he looked at Freddie.

Freddie: Sir, main ruk jaaon?

Abhijeet: Nahi Freddie...tum Daya ke saath jaao, main theek hoon.

Daya walked out...He looked back at Abhijeet and sensed something wrong. But he didn't want to waste any more time, so he and Freddie sat on Balwant's bike and started off towards the downward trekking point.

Scene : Downward trekking point

Daya, Freddie and Balwant reached the point where they could climb down the hill to reach the road. They took a long time as there were 2 well-built pillion riders. Balwant dropped them and went his way.

Freddie(shouts): Daya sir! Woh dekhiye! Abhijeet sir!

Abhijeet was already there, sitting with his back resting against a tree.

Daya: Abhijeet!!

(runs towards him)

Tum yahan kaise pohonche?

Abhijeet: Main yahan car mein aaya.

Daya remembered a white Indica overtaking them some time back but Abhijeet had hidden himself well, so they hadn't seen him.

Daya: Yeh kya pagalpan hai Abhijeet!!! Tumne aisa kyon kiya?

Abhijeet: Agar main pehle batata toh tum mujhe aane se mana karte.

Daya: Nahi Abhijeet, tum waapas jaao.

Abhijeet: Car aur bike, dono chale gaye hain...ab tum mujhe yahan sadak pe chodkar jaa sakte ho ya neeche utarne mein meri madad kar sakte ho.

Daya: Abhijeet!!! Tum bhi!! Main ACP sir ko complain karoonga.

Abhijeet: Zaroor kar lena. Lekin uske liye tumhe pehle Mumbai pohonchna padega.

Daya: Tum nahi sudhroge!

Daya and Freddie helped him get on to his feet and began the downward trek. Abhijeet's back was hurting badly but the village Baid ji had made a bandage which reduced the strain. Both Daya and Freddie took turns helping Abhijeet walk through the sloping path. They took 5 hours to complete the trek as Abhijeet had to take frequent breaks...but they finally accomplished the long trek. Daya and Freddie helped Abhijeet sit in the front seat of the Innova in reclined position. The started off for Mumbai.

Scene: Mumbai hospital.

Abhijeet woke up to see himself in front of a hospital with a stretcher waiting for him.

Daya: Chalo boss...

Abhijeet: Yeh kya! Pehle case solve hone do.

Daya: Main bhi ziddi hoon. Dr se kehkar yahin neend ka injection lagva doonga.

Abhijeet decides to give in and tells him pehle mujhe ek naya phone aur mere number ka duplicate SIM card laake do'

Abhijeet is wheeled off for X Ray and tests and the doctors say that there is a fracture but it had already started healing, thanks to the Baidji in the village. He's advised to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.

Scene : Bureau

CID team questioning JaiKishan and Kumar

ACP: Bataao...kiski supaari de rahe the tum?

Jaikishan: Main ek minister hoon. Mujhpar jhoota ilzaam nahi laga sakte tum.

Daya; humare paas ek video hai, jisme tum kisi ko ek bag dete dikhayi de rahe ho

Jaikishan: Maine bag diya! Kya saboot hai ki woh supari hai? Usme sirf property ke paise the. Maine DCP ko phone kar diya hai...tum sabko suspend karva doonga!

ACP(calls Daya aside): Uss video ka koi copy mila?

Daya; Nahi sir...woh sirf Abhijeet, Reena aur Bell boy ke phones mein the. Maine toh bas aise hi keh diya...

ACP: hume inn dono ko chodna padega...jab tak woh video humare haath nahi lagti, hum in dono ko arrest nahi kar sakte.

Daya; Lekin unhone supari kiski di hogi?

ACP: Yehi toh pata karna hai.

Freddie: Sir, shayad iss Kumar ko koi blackmail kar raha hai, Reena ko lekar?

ACP: Aur Abhijeet ka peecha kaun kar raha tha? Aur kyon?

Daya is silent for a minute and looks thoughtful.

ACP: Kya hua Daya?

Daya: Sir,, ek baat hai. Jab main Goa mein poochtach kar raha tha, toh maine hotel manager se poocha ki Abhijeet naam ka guest wahan thehra hua hai kya.

ACP: Haan, toh?

Daya: toh usne bina register dekhe hi bata diya ki Abhijeet ne 3 dinn pehle check out kiya. Use Abhijeet ka naam kaise yaad hain sir?

ACP: Tumhe lagta hai yeh manager kuch jaanta hai?

Daya; ho sakta hai sir. Main Insp Gaurav ko phone karta hoon.

...

After some time...

Daya: Sir, insp Gaurav ne phone kiya. Unhe saboot mil chuki hai ki manager ne hi bell boy ko terrace se fenk diya. Aur woh manager iss waqt gayab hai.

ACP: Yeh case toh ulajhta jaa raha hai. Kisi tarah woh video humare haath lagna chahiye. Aaj toh 20th. Sirf 1 dinn hai humare paas.

Scene: Hospital

Daya(explains everything to Abhijeet.); Uss video ke bina hum kuch nahi kar sakte.

Abhijeet(thinks for some time): ek minute Daya!

Daya: kya??

Abhijeet: Mere phone mein maine automatic back up set up kiya hai. Jab wifi connection available hota hai, tab mere sare files Dropbox mein back up ho jaate hain. Bell boy mujhe video forward karne ke baad main hotel mein aur aadha ghanta ruka tha. Room no 203 check kar raha tha. Toh ho sakta hai woh file DropBox mein ho??

Daya: Yeh lo mera phone...check karo jaldi. (Abhijeet's new phone was not properly configured)

Abhijeet enters his login information and to their relief, the video is backed up on DropBox!

They play it but the voice is very feeble.

Daya; Main isi waqt recording studio le jaakar ise enhance karta hoon.

Abhijeet: All the best. Mujhe inform karo.

Scene: Bureau

Daya plays the video. They clearly make out the words 21 July' and camera man khatam'.

ACP: Camera man khatam? Iska kya matlab hai? Kaunsa camera man?

Daya: Shayad kisi function mein koi camera man bankar kisi ka khoon karne wala hai.

ACP: pata karo ki is Jaikishan ke friends circle mein koi function hone wali hai kya.

...

Daya: Sir Jaikishan July 21 ko 4 functions attend karne wala hai.

ACP: Charon functions mein aisa koi hai jisse Jaikishan ki dushmani hai?

Daya: Kehna mushkil hai sir. Sabhi functions ke guest lists check karne padenge.

Scene : July 21, bureau

ACP: Ab tak koi suraag nahi mila!

Freddie: Mujhe lagta hai hume is Jaikishan ke functions mein ghuskar uss par nazar rakhna padega.

ACP: Lekin yeh bhi toh ho sakta hai ki kisi aur function mein camera man kisi ka khoon karne wala hai. Socho Freddie, agar kisi ka khoon karvana hai woh aisi jagah par kyon karvayega jahan woh khud maujood hai?

Daya: hum sheher ke saare functions toh rukwa nahi sakte na sir.

ACP: Socho, socho...koi baat hai jo humse choot rahi hai.

Abhijeet is updated of the case status on phone. He too keeps wondering where the incident is about to happen. He looks at the news paper casually and finds a sentence If SBI had bought Citi, Uncle Sam would probably own SBI too. Or rather Citi would, not that it is out of government control. It would have been a disaster.'

He sees that US' is nicknamed as Uncle Sam...and then it strikes him! He immediately phones ACP.

ACP; Haan Abhijeet, tum theek ho?

Abhijeet: Sir main theek hoon, mujhe pata chal gaya hai ki Camera Man ka matlab kya hai.

ACP: Kya?

Abhijeet: Sir Camera man matlab Chief minister...sir Chief minister saab ka khoon hone wala hai.

Scene: A school where CM is about to hoist the flag.

The CID team reaches the location and each team member starts scanning the surroundings, but find nothing.

Daya gets onto the stage and checks the dias for any explosives. He suddenly comes upon what look like tiny needles on the floor near the loudspeaker. Something strikes him and he opens the microphone to reveal a spring set up which would release a tiny needle into the heart of the person holding it...and it was meant for the CM!

Daya looks at the audio engineer' who starts running away. CID team chases and catches him. He gets a hard slap and is brought to the bureau along with minister JaiKishan.

Abhijeet receives the picture of the assassin and immediately recognises him as the guy who was present at the dhaba.

The minister is forced to admit that he wanted the CM dead as he was the senior guy and was unfairly sidelined. He's put behind bars for attempt to assassinate the CM and also for getting Reena murdered.

Epilogue:

Scene : Bureau

Abhijeet walks into the bureau in style.

ACP: Aao Abhijeet, kaise ho tum ab?

Abhijeet: Bas, zyada der khade rehne par dard hota hai sir...Dr ne exercise aur physiotherapy prescribe kiya hai. Keh raha hai ki 1 mahine mein chala jayega.

ACP: Abhijeet, Daya...case abhi bhi khatam nahi hua hai...tum logon ko phirse Goa jaana padega...uss hotel manager ko pakadne.

Daya: Achcha hai sir...Abhijeet ko 3-4 dinn ke liye baidji ke paas chod denge...2 din mein woh aur uske 2 pehelwaan Abhijeet ke kamar ko theek kar denge. (evil expression)

Abhijeet(remembered the experience): Nahiii!!!

GALE MEIN KHARASH

July 21, 2001

Abhijeet woke up very late. The day before was very tiring as they had to catch prevent an insane suicide bomber from blowing up himself and a building at 6:48PM.

His phone rang. It was Daya.

Abhijeet picked up the phone and said "Hello" but his voice was hoarse, all that came our was a croak.

Daya: Hello...sir??

Abhijeet: H..heeloo...Ddaayya

Daya: Sir, kya hua?

Abhijeet left the phone and decided to drink some water.

Daya: Abhijeet sir??

Abhijeet: He..lloo..

Daya: Kya hua?

Abhijeet: Kuch nahi..

Realises that there's no point trying to talk and cuts the call.

He sends an SMS to Daya. 'Sore throat, because of all the shouting I did yesterday. Can't speak. see you in the bureau'.

Abhijeet went to freshen himself up and when he returned, he heard the bell ring. It was Daya.

Daya: Hello sir.

Abhijeet (with great difficulty): arey 😃 Tum yahan?

Daya: Toh, mujhe yahan nahi aana chahiye?

Abhijeet shows with action...'nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai, baitho'.

Daya: Aapke gale ko kya hua?

Abhijeet(barely a whisper): Woh, kal...uss pagal aadmi se chilla chillakar baat karna pada na, isliye...

(refer to episode case of 6:48, aired in July 2001)

Daya: Sir, yeh lijiye main syrup lekar aaya hoon.

Abhijeet (whispers): Arey rehne do na...main adrak chai pee loonga.

Daya: Nahi sir, aaj aapka birthday hai...aise kaise chalega? (and gives Abhijeet the syrup)

Abhijeet: 😲 Mera birthday? Mujhe toh yaad bhi nahi tha.

Daya: Haan sir, happy birthday.(gives a shake hand) Aur happy anniversary. Do saal ho gaye CID mein waapas aakar.

Abhijeet: Haan, do saal...pata hi nahi chala...

Abhijeet went into flashback...2 years back he was standing at the bridge where he had been left by the kidnappers, when ACP and Daya came looking for him. He didn't realise he had completed 2 successful years in CID after he lost his memory. Time had flown.

Abhijeet(gets up): Main breakfast banaata hoon.

Daya: Nahi sir, aaj aap mat banaiyye. Freddie hum sab ke liye breakfast laa raha hai. Bhabhiji bana rahi hai.

Abhijeet, who was in no mood to cook got up and said 'theek hai, main ready hoke aata hoon'.

Abhijeetwent in to get ready. He opened his wardrobe and looks at his badge which read 'senior inspector'.

He watched Daya reading a paper in the hall. He had been with him these 2 years, treating him like a senior, though he (Abhijeet) had lost 2 precious years in CID. He had joined CID 2 years before Daya, but since he was away for 2 years, technically they should have been of the same rank. ACP had however, recommended a senior post for Abhijeet. Daya had never complained. Any other guy in his place would have had his ego hurt.

Abhijeet was already feeling better after he drank the syrup. He got dressed and went back to the hall.

Daya: Chaliye sir.

Abhijeet: Daya, ek request.

Daya: Kya hai sir?

Abhijeet: Mujhe 'sir' aur 'aap' mat kaho.

Daya: Kyon sir, achanak?

Abhijeet: Bas aise hi...main 2 saal CID mein nahi tha. ACP sir ne phir bhi mujhe promotion dilvaya. Lekin hum dono jaante hain ki humara experience equal hai.

Daya: Sir, aaj se sab kyon keh rahe hain?

Abhijeet: Bas, agar meri khushi chahte ho, toh aaj se mujhe Abhijeet hi kaho. Senior nahi, dost samjho mujhe.

Daya: Theek hai sir.

Abhijeet: phir se sir. 😒

Daya: Theek hai...Abhijeet. Ajeeb lag raha hai..thoda time lagega.

Abhijeet: Aur haan...thanks.

Daya: Agar aap (sorry tum) chahte ho ki main tumhe Abhijeet kahoon toh yeh thanks wanks mat kehna.

Abhijeet: hmmm...😃

Daya: Happy birthday Abhijeet. (and gives another handshake)
