Part 2 - " END of VANRAJ"
Morning 11.00 AM
Kavya and Anirudh in a mall and realise that their son Vallabh is missing. They search the mall and outside and panics. Takes help of the Mall Management but could not find. They go to the nearby police station and gives a complaint. Police start enquiry and with a CCTV footage near the entrance of the Mall finds a Sardharji carrying a child, the description matching with the complaint. They start searching for the child and the car. Trying to get the CCTV footage in the route.
Kapadia house afternoon 2.00 PM
Anu was wondering why the children have not reached home. School was only for the morning and closes at 1.00 PM. She shares her concern with Anuj. He calls the school to check and get the information that the children did not come to school that day. Both of them are shocked. Calls the security
Anuj : Did the children went to school.
Security replies : “Yes. But Ramu did not come he sent another driver as Ramu fell sick with cold and cough and he was afraid the children should not get affected. “
Anuj : “Did you speak with Ramu”.
Security: I tried but his number was not reachable . But the driver played a voice mail from Ramu to him saying he has got cold and cough so he should pick up the kids.
Anuj /Anu alarmed . Checks the CCTV footage . He saw a person with turban and fully in Sardarji dress. Face was not visible. But the car number was noted by the security . He calls the Commissioner Of Police (COP) and informs this. As they don't want media attention , COP tells Police force to find the missing children pending formal complaint.
Police first goes to Ramu’s place and saw he was roped with a chair with his mouth filled with cloth and semi-conscious state. Police take the matter seriously. They collect the photographs of the children and starts informal enquiry.
Police checks the CCTV footage of movement of this car. They also get the glimpse of the face of the person. They get the route up to an old/ abandoned building. Thereafter lost. Again when the main road from this place is touched…. There is no trace of the car. On verification of CCTV on this mainroad… they identified the same car with a different number and a different driver. But on closer scrutiny they can identify 3 children in the back seat all sleeping. They could trace the car was going towards Maharashtra.
With exchange of information across all police stations ,they come to know that on the same day, in two different places, three children were kidnapped. Realise that the kidnapper is the same.
After about two hours of journey the girl wakes up and surprised that they did not reach school.
“Uncle why we didn’t reach school”
“The school is closed … holiday”
“Then where are we going. Where is the other uncle?
“ Your Mummy want me to drop you in a hotel for a birthdayparty. You will enjoy.”
After some time, the other two wake up and enquire. Our driver was ably managing the children and also giving food, some games to play and keep them engaged.
Evening 4.00 PM
In the meantime, the police trace the car with CCTV alongthe toll plaza. The driver was in urgency to reach Maharashtra before he is caught. Different state and different police and he thought he will escape.
The Gujarat police informs its counterpart in Maharashtra and seeks their help. They suspect the car will enter Nashik and give alert to all police post.
Evening 5.00 PM.
The girl become restless, being elder and 7 years old she gets her first fear for that driver. The other two boys became friends and were playing Stone/ Paper/Scissors/ munching some chocolates. They are almost near Nashik. He stops the car near a shop to buy something for the children and to take few minutes rest.
Nasik is in a festival mood due to KumbhMela that comes after 12 years. Lot of people were going towards Nashik in groups. In one of the group of about 200 travellers…. Three old people were walking slowly. The girl remembers their faces as she has seen them in photographs in their house. She calls them loudly but due to noise they could not hear. But due to some instinct they look at this side and smile at them and keep walking. But the oldman could not walk further, thinking of his great grandchildren. After about 10 minutes of walking, they take rest in a bench and he calls up Anupama. Kindled by the children he wants to enquire about his own great grandchildren. Surprised at the call Anu weeps and tell them they are missing since morning. Shocked at the news, he asks for the latest pictures and confirms that he saw these children just about 10 mts. back.The police were immediately informed.
In the meantime, the girl gets restless and wants to reach those old people who are familiar to her, she urges the boys and quietly get down and walks in the crowd. After walking for 20 minutes, she saw them in the bench and runs to them for help. Sobbing she tells them she has seen them in photograph. They immediately recognise the children and inform the police. The police take them from the crowd to a safe place as they know the driver will come looking out for them.
In the car Vanraj finds the children have gone, he wants to find them and walks in the crowd. Now the crowd has increased as hundreds of them walking towards Nasik.
The police identify him and arrest him. Police informs headquarters that all three children are safe and ask both parents to come to the station around10.00 PM. The kidnapper and kids with great grandparents travel in separate cars and head towards Gujarat.
Around 9.00 PM Anu and Anuj reach Police station. Kanya and Anirudh comethere. They are surprised and realise that Vanraj ‘s 7 year period got over and this would have been planned by him.
Vanraj and kids arrive and all are happy to see the kids back. . Vanraj in a fist of anger that his plan failed, over and above both his Ex wife are happy with their new partner…. . He starts fighting with the police to go out. He grabs a pistol from one police and run …… he fires at the police and warn them not to follow. Police in defence shoot back and he collapse on the ground. In front of Anu/ Anuj/ Kavya /Anirudh…… Vanraj was shot dead by the police. In his last moment before closing his eyes….. he looks at them with all hatred and utters …. “VANRAJ MAY DIE NOW BUT NOT STOP HIS REVENGE. HE WILL BE BORN AGAIN“.
