Whatever the actual connection between all the persons is, has no importance for the movie's outcome as it is the director who is responsible (like in Brahmastra, too). He obviously had no problems with what Manoj served him.
I really question this concentration on Manoj... Not Manoj should be in the line of fire, but Om Raut. I wonder (like other members) why he isn't...or is he? Raut also was involved in the story writing...
