Special Squad Office
Aryan was seated at the head and the others in their respective places…. Few officers from CBI were also present there….
Aryan: Okay…. First investigation over…. Let's get a summarized report…. Case…. Mr. Prakashraj was blasted in his car yesterday… Time night nine o'clock to be assumed… Postmortem report not yet ready as the body has not come to Special Squad…
Vishal: Area… All over road construction work is going on…. Apart from that since few buildings had to be demolished for the road construction their renovations are also going on….
Ajay: Constructions ho rahe the, is karan blast kisi ne nahi suni…. Lekin blast ke aas pass koi constructions nahi ho raha tha... Kal…..
Boxer: Hmm… Isliye killer ya koi bhi wahan aaya ho, witness nahi hai…. Ek passer by Varun ne car me lagi aag dekhi to police ko inform ki thi….
Vishal: Taking it from there, blast ek rocket launcher se hua hai…. Right Shotgun?
Shotgun: Haan…. Ye confirmed hai…. Car ke remains aur blast ki heaviness dekhte hue, ek mini rocket launcher use kiya gaya hai…
Ajay: (Thinking) Lekin aise mini rocket launcher sadhaaran se nahi milti hai!
Aryan: (Responding spontaneously) Matlab ki killer bhi sadhaaran aadmi nahi hai!
Boxer: Aadmi?!? Confirmed hai ki killer ek aadmi hai… Aurat nahi?
Vishal: (Impressed) Are Boxer….. Ab ye to intelligent sawaal hui… Aru ab tum is nateeje par kaise pahoonche?
Aryan: (Sternly) Vishal…. Ye office hai…. Aur main tumhara colleague…. Achcha hoga, agar poore naam se pukaro to….
Vishal looked back at Aryan sternly…. Both of them eyed each other not batting their eye lids…. 😳
Seeing that the situation might get worse…
Neha: (Louder) Koi mujhe batayega, ki killer aadmi hai iska nateeja kaise pahooncha? Main yahan notes le rahi hoon…. Report banana hai… Agar incomplete information likhoongi to Dipika mujhe chodegi nahi.…
Dipika's name did the trick and both the guys averted their eyes… 😉
All around the table breathed a sigh of relief….. What and how the magic was done no one knew! But that one name got everyone in line always! Especially these two guys!
Shotgun: Main batata hoon…. Us half constructed building me se kuch foot prints mile the…. Ek hi set bahut hi strong tha… Aur uske length aur breadth se vo killer aadmi hai, ye to confirmed hai…. Age 40 – 45….. Foot print ke study se pata chalta hai ki killer attentive tha…. Maane he wasn't drunk….
Neha: Okay…. Ab report me koi problem nahi aayegi aur main Dipika se bachi…. Warna pata chale ki shaadi ke pehle din bhi main report banati reheti, incomplete information ke karan aur phir (Looking pitifully at Ajay) Ajay bechara mera mandap me akela intezaar karta reheta… 😆
Ajay: (Dramatically standing up and throwing the chair behind, startling everyone around) Neha! Meri jaan…. Aisa mat kaho…. 😭 Agar report banana hai to main shaadi ka mandap yaheen transfer kar deta hoon…. Bahut mushkil se haath aayi ho, itni aasaani se jaane kaise doon?!?!? 😃
The others around the table laughed a little at this little drama…. This made the tensed situation around the table relaxed….
Boxer had pulled back Ajay's chair straight…. He pulled Ajay's collar and making him sit said….
Boxer: Maamu, hume sab pata hai ki tu bahut achchi drama karta hai… Lekin ab case ke discussion ko aage badate hain!
Ajay sat down grinning and indicated as if in responsible for the whole case, to go ahead with the discussion… 😃
Aryan: (Smiling) Ab to jab confirmed ho gaya hai ki killer is a man, hume aage investigation ko badana hai…. Motive?!?! Kya ho sakta hai?
Vishal: Ab tak to hume pata chal gaya hai ki killer is a man… Man…. Meaning only one person was involved and not a group…. So motive could be anything…. Minister tha, to dushman kayi honge…. Ya phir paise…. Personal enemity ho sakti ya phir koi terrorist group ka….
Ajay: Terrorist group ka?!?! Ye chances to kam hain, kyunki agar kisi group ne kiya hai to vo responsibility le lete hain….
Aryan: I agree…. Abhi tak aisi koi information ye news nahi mili hai kisi group se!
Neha: (Digging into her files) Aryan, I need to show you something!
Aryan and the others transferred their attention to Neha while she came out with a paper…. She re-checked it and extending it to Aryan said….
Neha: Main police database me minister ke naam se kuch information dhoondh rahi thi…. (In a matter of fact tonr) Bahut mile, as usual corruption cases, which are still as usual under investigation…. Lekin ye latest report….. Un par nahi, lekin unhone di hai!
Vishal: Unhone di hai? Matlab minister ne police me complaint ki hai? Ab Mumbai me bahar aise hi thodi hoga! 😉
Neha: (Smiling a little) Haan…. Ye complaint hi mila hai, baaki police ne is complaint par kya action li hai, maine department me poochi hai…. Shaam tak uski report mil jaani chahiye!
Aryan: (Going through the complaint and passing it to Vishal) Ye to minister ne complaint di hai ki unke jaan ko khatara hai…. And he's been receiving death threats for a few days now!
Boxer: (Receiving the paper from Vishal) What?!!? Matlab ye pre planned murder tha? I mean.... Pre planned murder hi hai.... But informed one?!??
Vishal: Vo bhi pukka planned one…. 😡
Shotgun: Ek aur baat…. Us half constructed station se ek aur evidence mili hai…. (Showing a polythene cover) Ye vial…. It was in the corner of the building where I was searching…. Easily miss ho jaata, lekin mil gaya….
Vishal: (Taking the cover and looking at the bottle) Ye vial?!!?? Ye to insulin ka hai!
Aryan: Hume us area se ek syringe bhi mila tha… So both can be linked…
Boxer: Lekin Aryan…. Minister ke kayi enemies ho sakte hain… Hum investigation shuru karein bhi to kahan se karein?
Vishal: Boxer…. That's an easy task….. Jo kuch bhi ho, mujhe poora yakeen hai ki is samay hum jab bat kar rahe hain, vo killer humare hi shehar me public me public bankar ghoom raha hai….
Aryan: Haan…. Aur itne bade Mumbai shehar me use saare public me kyun target karein? These evidences come there.... One…. Ye ticket…. Andheri se mila hai… Target that area…. Ye nahi ki killer waheen se ho, lekin start to wahan se kar sakte hain….
Vishal: Two… Ye syringe aur vial… Zaheer hai ki half constructed building hai to wahan logon ka aana jaana kam hai expect workers…. Aur is ticket ki date se zahir hai ki kal wahan koi aaya tha….
Ajay: Aur investigation says ki wahan kal koi contruction work nahi ho raha tha!
Aryan: Exactly… So we conclude the killer is sugar patient…. Andheri me sugar patients poora population to nahi hoga naa! (Smiling)
Vishal: Yes… Aur ye vial…. Batch code hai isme.… Pata lagana ki kis date par, kahan issue kiya gaya tha…. To easily suspecting population kam ho jayega….
Aryan: Yes…. So let's start…. Ajay, Boxer is vial ki jaanch karvana….
He looked at Vishal who nodded and instructed his guys from CBI….
Vishal: Guys…. Andheri me jitney bhi medical shops hain, wahan se pata lagana pichle do maheene me insulin ke sales ka…. Wahan ke hotels, lodges me investigate karo…. Real estate borkers se pata lagao, ki kya unhone pichle do maheene me kisi forty to forty five years ke aadmi ko ghar, room diya hai…. Dilvaya hai?
Aryan: Aur haan Ajay, Boxer…. Vial ke batch code pata chalte hi, us medical shop se us ke receipt ka bhi information nikaalna!
Vishal: Okay guys…. Get to work….
Saying he stood up as the others too stood up collecting their files to get hot on their trail…. Just as people were leaving their places, Aryan commented….
Aryan: Just so that the body comes…. Postmortem se exact timing ka pata chalega, to kuch aur kar sakte hain!
Zubin: (Who was leaving the discussion area, said casually) Ek hi body mila…. Raja hai lekin Saarthi nahi… Minister hai lekin driver nahi….
At this everyone's attention turned to Zubin…. All the shuffling stopped… Everybody looked at each other…. But Zubin didn't notice the sudden silence around the area and was still walking back, when Ajay caught his collar and pulled him to a stop…. Surprised he turned around and seeing the sudden attention on him, got scared and embarrassed….
Zubin: Nai… Main to kuch aise hi keh….
Vishal: Ek minute…. Phir se kehena, tumne kya kaha tha….
Zubin: (Scared as if he had said something wrong) Nai… Bas main yoheen….
Aryan: Zubin…. Yoheen ya kuch, lekin repeat to karo Driver!
Zubin: (Scared repeated fast) Raja hai Saarthi nahi… Minister hai driver nahi! (Meekly) Bas!
This sudden piece of information hit the investigators right on their brain and they wondered…. That's what… Why? Why had the minister come to that area, at that time? And his house?!!?
Boxer: Us area me minister ka kya kaam??
CBI Officer I: Unka ghar to uske direct opposite me hai....
Ajay: Unhe death threat mila hai, to bina kisi security ke to nahi ho sakte?
Neha: Aur vo bhi khud gaadi chala rahe the…. Ek hi body ka news tha naa? Meaning he didn't have a driver… Yes!
Vishal: (Puzzled) Eeekkk minute…. Death threat no death threat….. Minister hai to unke usual security guards hone chahiye?!?!? Where were they?
CBI Officer II: Sir.... Nahi lagta unke saath koi us waqt tha…. He was alone!
Aryan: Lekin kyun? (Thinking deeply) Ajay, Boxer…. Is line me bhi investigation karna…. (Ajay, Boxer nodded) Okay guys…. Lead on…. (To Zubin) Zubin wonderful view dikhaya hai tumne…. Thanks! (Saying Aryan left for his cabin)
Vishal: (Patting hard on Zubin's back) Are wah Zubin…. Pata tha photography ka shouk hai, lekin investigator banane ki khoobhi bhi hai…. Humare kaam me waat mat laga dena yaar!
Saying grinning Vishal left the place as Neha collected her files and left smiling….. Everyone left the area….
Before going Ajay and Boxer……
Ajay: Kya baat hai Driver miyaan?!??! Bahut ideas tapak rahe hain aapke dimaag se…. Aryan ne bhi thanks kaha!
Boxer: Are Maamu…. Purvi ka asar hoga….. Ladkiyaan chahe to kya kya nahi kar sakti!!! Kyun Zubin? 😉
Zubin looked at Boxer as his face went red and left the place shying too clearly…. Ajay and Boxer grinning gave each other high five and left the office! 😃
Neha came to her place with her files and was surprised to find Vishal there….
Neha: Hey Vishal! (Sitting and switching on her monitor) Investigation ke liye nahi gaye?
Vishal: Jaana hai…. Phir bhi karvaya hai, to ab ke liye free hoon... Pehle tumse kuch poochna tha…
Neha: (Typing fast) Poocho…. Mujhse kuch poochne ki kab se tum permission sab lene lage!
Vishal: Police ne minister ke complaint par kya action li hai, iska ek report already available hoga…. Tum easily use access kar sakti thi, yahan tumhare system se, to manually kyun mangvaya department se?
Neha: (Smiling but looking at the monitor) Zaahir si baat hai ki vo report abhi bhi accessible nahi hai…. Isliye police database hack karke information lena, out of rules hai….. To nahi li!
Vishal: Achchaaaaaaa (Getting the point) Ab sabko is office me kya hua? Aaj kal bahut rules shules ki baatein ho rahi hai…. Dipika nahi hai iska asar hai kya? Vo hoti hai to kuch follow nahi karte…. Kaheen purposely to nahi karte?
Neha stopped typing and turned to look at him and said smiling feebly….
Neha: Shayad…. Humne, Aryan ko chod, decide kiya hai ki jab tak Dipika nahi aati, we won't do anything out of rules….. To the maximum that is…. Aane ke baad to dekhna hoga….
Vishal: (Surprised) Are! Ye kya baat hui? Saamne nahi hai to achche bachche, saamne ho to use satana…. Shaitan ke bachche?! Kuch psychology opposite lagta hai... Nahi? 😉
Neha: (Smiling) Shayad…. No Vishal... Actually aaj kal Aryan aur Dipika ke beech tashan chal rahi hai..... Office ke karan…. Hum rules todte hain to Aryan only has to face her… Ab vo yahan hoti hai to she would know immediately aur use pata chalta bhi hai to easily, solve ho jaati hai…. Ab jab vo yahan nahi hai, wapas aane par agar hum par complaints aaye…. Aur itneeeee aayenge, to khamakhaan Dipika Aryan par bhadkegi aur unke beech ki tension aur bad jayegi….
Vishal: Tension!?!?? Unke beech?!?!? Lekin kal to aisa kuch nahi nazar aaya!
Neha: (Puzzled) Kal?!?!? Matlab?
Vishal: (Grinning😃) Matlab Neha, kal raat ko Dipika, Aryan aur Sri dinner ke liye bahar gaye the…. Mera assistant bhi wahan gaya tha, unhe dekha tha usne.... Aaj subah casually usse baat kar raha tha, to usne bataya tha…. Bahut khush, aur enjoy kar rahe the dinner ko!
Neha: Such?!?! 😛 Aryan ko Sri ke baare me pata hai, ye pata tha…. Lekin itni jaldi bahar?!?!? ❓
Vishal: (Smiling) Ab Sri hai hi aisi Neha.... Ek baar dekho, to koi bhi us par fida ho jaata hai... (Seriously) Lekin tum kuch tension ki baat kar rahi thi…. Kya hua??
Neha: (Wondering) Tumhari Dipika se kab baat hui?
Vishal: Well…. Pichle hafte humare case ke baad se to nahi…. Tum logon ke saath kaam karne ke baad, CBI ko ek important case mili thi jis ke liye mujhe out of town jaana pada…. To ek hafta lag bag…. Soch hi raha tha, ki aaj baat karoon…
Neha: Tabhi to…. Dipika ne nahi bataya ki us din office me kya hua aur uske baad!
Saying Neha told Vishal what had happened that day in office, the day Dipika had left to Pune… And after that…. Hearing all this all Vishal could do was just smile….
Vishal: Hmm…. Lagta hai kuch kuch kaam ban raha hai…. Lekin Neha…. Ab in dono ki duriyaan bahut ho gayi…. Kuch to karna hoga!
Neha: (Turning back to her monitor) Tchch.… Itne maheenon se hum bhi kuch na kuch try kar hi rahe hain…. Lekin kaam bane tab naa….. Both are as stubborn as ever….
Vishal: Haaan…. Lekin unke hardness ko pigalvane ka idea hai mere paas…. Work agar kar gaya, to….
As Vishal dragged his last word, Neha looked at him wondering what he had in mind….
Giving a mysterious look towards Aryan's cabin, he looked back at Neha and said about his plan…..
Neha: (Eyes lighting up) Hey…. That's a great idea…. (Thinking) Agar Dipika ko pata chal gaya to?
Vishal: Are…. Jab tak use pata chale, tab tak kaam ho gaya hoga…. Uske baad to vo gussa kar hi nahi sakti…
Neha nodded smiling and both of them hit their knuckles together….. ⭐️
