FLASHBACK

Few hours back.....

The silence in the dimly lit room was thick with tension as Vishwanath sat with his brothers, Rudra and Raghavendra, and Officer Rituraj Solanki. His piercing gaze bore into the map of Oberoi Estate laid out on the table before them. The air crackled with his unspoken fury, the tension in the room was palpable. Time was running out.

Vishwanath had discovered Neel's vile plot earlier through his vast network of informants. His sources, scattered across cities like shadows, had pieced together the chilling truth, Ravi Sharma, Kashi's father, had sold his daughter to Neel in exchange for money and freedom from debts. But that wasn't the end of it. Ravi's treachery went even deeper. He had aided Neel in kidnapping his own wife, knowing that Kashi's love for her mother would compel her to obey any demand, no matter how dangerous. The betrayal was staggering, yet not entirely surprising. Vishwanath had long known Ravi to be selfish and heartless, a man who thrived on manipulation and greed. But to stoop this low, to trade his daughter's future and use her mother's life as leverage, it was beyond comprehension.

The thought of Kashi, his Kashi being traded like a mere commodity made his blood boil. His knuckles whitened as his fists clenched tightly, his mind replaying the details of the deal. Ravi had sealed his daughter's fate for a few measly notes, and Neel, the despicable man that he was, had used Kashi as a pawn in his twisted game. But the one thing Vishwanath couldn't piece together was why. Why was Neel so fixated on Kashi? What did he want from her?

"Bhaiya," Raghavendra's voice cut through his thoughts, cautious yet firm. "We have to act quickly. We are running out of time."

Vishwanath's jaw tightened. His voice was calm, yet it carried an edge that made everyone in the room straighten. "Raghav, take half of our men and go with Officer Solanki. Find Anjali Aunty. Neel has hidden her somewhere, and we need to ensure her safety before making any moves. Once she's secure, let us know immediately."

Before Raghav could respond, Officer Rituraj, who had been quietly observing the discussion, interjected. "My men are already working on tracking the location," he said, his voice steady but tinged with urgency. "It's a secluded area Neel has been using for his illicit activities. As soon as we pinpoint the exact location where Mrs. Anjali is being kept, we will move in swiftly."

Vishwanath gave a sharp nod, his expression unrelenting. "Good. We can't afford any delays. Rituraj, coordinate with Raghav and update us the moment you have the location."

His gaze then shifted to his younger brother. "Rudra, you will come with me. We will take the rest of the men and head to Oberoi Estate to rescue Kashi."

Both brothers and officer Solanki nodded without hesitation. Vishwanath's command was absolute, his leadership unquestionable. Despite the gravity of the situation, his composure was a testament to his power, a man who could bring empires to their knees with a mere glance.

The Oberoi Estate loomed in the distance, its grandeur mocking the cruelty unfolding within. Vishwanath and Rudra, along with their team, disguised themselves as Neel's men. Their outfits and forged IDs were impeccable, crafted with precision to avoid suspicion.

The guards at the gate were vigilant, their sharp eyes scanning every face with suspicion. Vishwanath remained calm, his confidence disarming, though the stakes were higher than ever. When one of the guards stepped forward and questioned them, Rudra feigned irritation, his tone impatient. "Don't waste our time. Neel sir personally called us to strengthen security. Are you going to question his orders?"
