With their newfound lead, Vineet and Abhijeet worked tirelessly to gather more evidence connecting DCP Chitrole to the murders and the broader corruption scandal. They couldn’t afford any mistakes—one wrong move and DCP Chitrole would crush them both.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the killer continued. With each passing day, the killer grew bolder, leaving taunting clues that led the CID team in circles. The media frenzy surrounding the case was becoming unmanageable, and ACP Pradyuman was under intense pressure to deliver results.
As the tension mounted, Abhijeet and Vineet knew they were running out of time. DCP Chitrole’s hold on them was tightening, and they needed to act before he forced Vineet to sabotage the case. The breakthrough came when Vineet managed to access a set of encrypted emails that linked DCP Chitrole directly to one of the victims—a businessman who had been involved in illegal arms deals.
The emails were damning. They not only proved DCP Chitrole’s involvement in covering up the arms deals but also suggested that he had been using his position to protect certain individuals from prosecution. Worse, it appeared that DCP Chitrole had known about the killer’s activities long before the CID had even been alerted.
Abhijeet stared at the evidence, his expression grim. “This is it. This is what we need to bring him down.”
But Vineet felt a knot of anxiety in his chest. “What if DCP Chitrole finds out we’ve been investigating him? He’ll retaliate before we can act.”
Abhijeet’s eyes were steely with resolve. “Then we move fast. We take this to ACP Pradyuman and the higher-ups in CID. Once we expose Chitrole, he’ll lose all his power.”
