Love Around Law

Chapter 16

The constables and inspectors stand up while Sidharth walks briskly into his room. He sits down and calls Chaudhry "Open Abhinav's cell now. Bring him to the interrogation room. No delay."
"Sure Sir."

"Aye police wala mujhe kyu ese zabardasti, marzi ke khilaf le ja raha hai? Aye kya kar raha hai? Tujhe pata nahi main kya kya kar sakta hoon", Abhinav screams as two constables drag him to the interrogation room. Chaudhry comes in and says "Awaz neeche, not a word until and unless you are spoken to. This isn't your place."
"Koi mere marzi ke khilaf kuch bhi nahi kar sakta-" Abhinav stops, when Sidharth enters the room, "Abhinav Mitra, this isn't your place, yaha pe meri marzi chalti hai. And moreover you have a lot to speak today, save your voice for that." Sidharth sits down right infront of him.

"Abhinav Mitra, a middle class man who suddenly turned rich after his business sky rocketed. Will you care to explain how did it happen?" Sidharth asks with an intimidating look. "I-I worked hard for it. I saved, I saved money...my hardwork paid of."
"Actually Abhinav, I was never interested in business. So does your business include exporting drugs across states?" Sweat beads form near Abhinav's forehead, Deshmukh says "Sir I think we should get an AC now." Although Sidharth remains unaffected because he was not in a mood to joke, but it makes Abhinav more conscious. He sits up straight on the chair and says, "Dr-drugs..w..haat? What-t drugs?" Deshmukh keeps a file on the table and says, "Abhinav Mitra you will be punished anyway, but stop wasting Sir's time. Answer his questions." "Are kya laga rakha hai tum sab ne? Haan? Main koi drug dealer nahi hoon!"

Sidharth leans forward "Abhinav Mitra tell me something about the distribution of drug from Punjab to Mumbai."
"I don't...I don't know. I am not a part of this. I have a family, wh-why would I get myself involved in this business?" Chaudhry says immediately, "S**** family? Huh? You have been fooling your wife since years now. In the same of business you have been dealing with drugs. You call it family?" Abhinav shouts "Tu kaun hai bolne wala, shut up! Tu jaanta nahi main kaun hoon!" Sidharth stands up and gives a tight slap across Abhinav's face, "I need to hear what I wanted. What do you know about Punjab Mumbai drug exchange? I am giving you thirty seconds, you answer me or your factory will be destroyed immediately." He panics "no...no not my factory. You can't do that? I have nothing except that...I just send the packets to people. I just send the packets....which were kept in my factory...isse zada maine kuch nahi kiya." Sidharth chuckles "Your phone, your documents, your business related documents, every f****** detail is with the CBI department now."

"Do you think storing and hiding drugs in your storehouse is nothing? Hypothetically if it isn't a big deal, then tell me how are those drugs being circulated in Mumbai?", asks Deshmukh. Abhinav remains quiet, when Sidharth calls someone, "burn the storehouse. Yes, you can-". "SIR no! NO! I'll say, Sir don't burn the storehouse. Sir people come and keep the loads in my storeroom and then take away them, Sir...they just keep that in my factory to be safe...aur nahi Sir! I just get paid for that."
Sidharth keeps his phone aside and says, "What about Kanika, your daughter? And your wife?" His face softens hearing their names "Sir, my...wife, everything is for her. I wanted to keep her happy. But Kanika! She is a disappointment! Girls like that should get married off early...I have seen my neighbours gifting rich gifts to their wives, I wanted the same. To show Kamalika that her husband is not a failure." "Who were you getting your daughter married to?" Abhinav clenches his fist "I am not answerable to you." He recieves another slap on his face from Chaudhry "Zada maat bol, chup chap jawab de, nahi toh itna maar khayega ki aapna naam bhul jayega tu..Chal jawab de." Reluctantly Abhinav says "A son of my friend.." "Name" shouts Sidharth. "Raj..esh Singh." "Where does he stay?" Abhinav screams as Deshmukh pulls twists his ears as he was not answering
"Mohali..... chandigarh".
