As Ram's jeep pulled into the CM's office, Sravan met him at the gate.
"CM sir is waiting for you Sir." CM's p.a informed them.
They nodded and went inside the CM"s office.
The atmosphere inside the Chief Minister's office was thick with the scent of old wood and high-stakes politics.
Ram and Sravan stood at attention, their salutes crisp and their expressions unreadable.
"Good afternoon Sir." Ram and Sravan greeted.
"Haa..raa vayya DCP Ramachandra (haa..come DCP Ramachandra) Good noon." the CM said, waving them toward the leather chairs.
"Take your seats. Tell me what's the matter. What is so urgent that it couldn't wait for my secretary to find a gap next week?"
"It cannot wait, Sir," Ram replied, his voice steady but hard as flint. "Higher officials are already placing roadblocks in my path. I need your direct authorization to proceed with a high-profile arrest. Without it, the system will swallow this case whole."
The CM leaned forward, intrigued. He respected Ram's track record—the man was a legend for his incorruptibility. "Tell me who it is. If the evidence is there, I will back you."
"It's Janardhan Reddy, Sir."
The CM froze.
The silence that followed was deafening. "What? Ramachandra, do you realize what you're saying? He is my Health Minister. He has a massive public following. You can't just pick up a man like him without sparking a riot."
"His public image is a mask, Sir," Ram said, sliding a thick file across the desk.
"He isn't just a politician. He's the head of a drug and medical mafia. He uses his binami properties to run massive distribution rings, and he uses the Night Pubs as a distraction. But that's not the worst of it."
His jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with a cold rage.
"As Health Minister, he's been diverting experimental drugs to his private hospitals. He's been using three-year-old children as lab rats for untested vaccines. They are mixing drugs into infant vaccinations to see the reactions.
Six children have died in the last month alone, their bodies turning blue, foam at their mouths. He's funding the party with blood money from the Parvi Pharma group."
The CM's face paled as he flipped through the autopsy reports and the paper trail of illegal chemical imports.
The horror of what was happening under his own nose was visible in the trembling of his hands.
"He wanted the Health Ministry so badly... I thought he was ambitious. I didn't know he was a monster."
The CM looked up, his resolve hardening. "You have my full power, Ramachandra. No one—not the Commissioner, not the Cabinet—will stop you. Tomorrow morning, the official letter of proceedings will be on your desk. Rot that bastard in hell."
"Thank you sir." said Ram.
"We'll take our leave sir. Jai Hind." Ram and Sravan saluted to CM.

"When did you find the time to dig all this up?" Sravan asked as they walked out into the humid evening air. "I thought we were just looking for a drug dealer, not a child-killing mafia."
