Part 25
The two men carried 50,000 rs with them and were placing it in the cupboard. They had guns as well. They fought hard but in the end, were injured. Daya, Sheetal and ACP Prithviraj also had come here.
One of the two men, was scared but the other still refused to speak anything. So CID made them both sit away, inorder to get confession out of atleast one.
With the scared one,
ACP – “bolo kya kar rahe the Birju ke ghar?”
Man 1 – “bola na paise rekhne aaye the”
Daya – “kisne diye paise?”
Man 1 – “mujhe nahi pata.”
Daya – “toh unhe Birju ke ghar kyun rakhne aaye?”
He doesn’t reply anything. He is just joing hands and crying.
ACP – “Daya lagta hai isne suna nahi…sunao toh zara isse”
Meanwhile, with the other man ->
Vaibhav – “dekho tumhe saza se hum bacha sakte hain agar tum humari madad karo.”
ACP Prithviraj – “CID tumhara bhala hi chahti hai.”
Man 2 – “CID…” thoo (spits of the floor)
Vaibhav gets real angry and slaps this person and this person starts fighting back.
With man 1,
Daya – “bologe ab bhi ya nahi?”
Man 1 – “rukho saab batata hoon…”
ACP – “haan ab kuch acha sunai aa raha hai”
Man 1 – “who paise Birju ke hain. Usne humse kaha unhe uske ghar mein rakhne ko”
Daya and ACP look at each other.
Daya – “par Birju hai kahan?”
Man 1 – “Biru bade saab ke saath Bambai gaya hai…wahan usse kuch kaam karne ko bola hai. Ye ussi ke paise hain”
ACP – “ye bade saab kaun hain?”
Before this man could say anything, they hear the fighting between the other man and Vaibhav. ACP Prithviraj was trying to stop the fight as much as he could but Vaibhav and the man were too hard on each other. Daya immediately ran there to help Vaibhav but before he reached the other man, had snatched Vaibhav’s gun. He was now holding it, pointing it towards ACP Prithviraj.
Man 2 – “hat jao warna tumhare ACP ki khopdi khol ke rakh dunga”
Daya – “Dekho gun niche rakh do…tum yahan se bhaag nahi sakte”
Man 2 – “bhaagna chahta kyun hai? Humare khool mein wafaadari ka namak hai. Ya Khuda”
Saying so, he fired first Man 1 right on forehead and then killed himself as well. Both of them were dead on the spot.
ACP – “Mumbai mein zaroor kuch gadbad hai. Daya Vivek ko fauran phone karo. Lagta hai is kahani ka ant wahan hi hoga.”
Abhijeet was really tensed as he drove to Pune the next morning. Kaki was fine now and her daughter Krishna had come and right now she was with her. What really tensed Abhi was the two Shruti at his house. Shruti. Viren’s wife, seemed to be knowing something that scared her to life but she wont tell and Shruti, Viren’s sister, Abhi didn’t trust her anymore. He had been very much mistaken to bring her to his house. She certainly had her plans but now he didn’t have time to know them, there was something of much more importance for him. However, he couldn’t forget how suddenly she met him and she was the one whom they were searching. She readily agreed to come to Mumbai and agreed even to stay in his own house when he was a stranger. Then in the night when he heard some noises, Shruti was again out of bed. In the morning, she was checking his file… All this was odd. The file – he thought. He hadn’t seen if there was anything missing. He took it and checked…and indeed he was correct. The fax from the headquarters was missing.
Abhi banged his fists and said “shit” … Shipra was indeed a spy then. He had to inform ACP sir anyhow. He dialed but the number was not answering. What should he do? He decided to go to Pune and try to call ACP after sometime.
He tried everything, but tension won’t go off hid brain. How could he have failed to recognize a spy. More importantly, where was this going? He intended to only trace Viren and now all this. Where had he ended up…? There certainly was some connection between the two cases and his house was certainly a target. He thought to dial to ACP but just as he picked his phone to dial, he got a call. He picked up…
Krishna – “Hello. Abhijeet sir?”
Abhi – “haan main bol raha hoon”
Krishna – “sir main Krishna bol rahi hoon. Aap jahan bhi hain fauran ghar chale aayiye”
Abhi got real tensed. Why would Krishna (Kaki’s daughter) call him. She sounded rather serious. He stopped the car on side and then talked.
Abhi – “Krishna, kya baat hai? Kaki theek toh hai na? Tum itni gabhrayi hui kyun ho?”
Krishna – “sir, maa bilkul theek hain.”
Abhi – “toh phir baat kya hai?”
Somewhere deep inside he had an instinct that what was coming was somehow related to Shruti and Shipra… something had happened. He just knew it.
Krishna – “sir main aapke ghar aayi thi, maa ki kuch dawai lene aur maine dekha ki andar Shipra didi ne Shruti didi par gun tan rakhi hai. Mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai.”
Hell! Abhi thought. He was so right. Shipra wasn’t Viren’s sister. She was just an imposter – a spy. He didn’t know how to react.
Abhi – “suno, Krishna. Tum wahan se chali jao. Main kuch karta hoon aur haan kisi ko iske bare mein kuch nahi kehna”
He hung up saying so. Blunder…how could he have done it? And just then he got another call from a private number.
Voice – “Kyun Senior Inspector Abhijeet…kya haal – chaal hain aapke?”
Abhi – “maaf kijiye par kya main aapko jaanta hoon?”
Voice – “aap hum jaise chote logoin ko chahe na jaane ya na pehchaane par aapko kaun nahi jaanta?”
Abhi – “dekhiye mujhe zaroori kaam hai. Agar koi baat hai toh batayi warna –“
Voice – “kaam toh bahut hai aapke paas par shayad ye sunkar aap humare liye thoda waqt nikaal sake…”
And then Abhi hears a child scream in pain. Then a woman pleading to leave her daughter. It was Shruti and Pinky.
Abhi – “pinky???”
Voice – “arre wah…bahut kam dino mein bahut zyada jaan pehchaan nahi ho gayi hai?”
Abhi – “saaf saaf bolo kya chahte ho?”
Voice – “haan ab jaakar thode pate ki baat ki hai aapne. Main chahta hoon ki aapke baaki saathi fauran se Pune chod de. Wahan jo jaisa hai, usse ussi haal mein chod aaye. Yahan wohh us chori ka aur aap apne dost Viren ka case band kar de.”
Abhi – “isse tumhe kya milega? Kaun ho tum?”
Voice – “jab koi bol raha ho…toh beech mein nahi bolte…itna bhi nahi pata aapko…meri baat abhi khatam nahi hui hai…uske baad main chahta hoon ki tum akele Mumbai – Pune Highway par Bhatia constructions ki building mein aa jao. Building under construction hai…par haan akele hi aana, bina kisi gun ya kisi saathi ke…agar tum inko zinda dekhna chahte ho…”
Abhi – “hello?? Hello??”
