Rajat grabbed the collar of Ravi's shirt & pulled him, made him stand in front of him. He is looking wretched after getting some punches from Rajat. Finally, Rajat put a loaded gun on Ravi's forehead. "Speak the truth Ravi, else I will shoot you." Arjun was intensely noticing everything from the one-way glass wall of the Interrogation room. "Your time starts now." Rajat spoke in a low tone. Ravi started pleading that whatever he said is true. "3,2,1...," Rajat pulled the trigger. Ravi yelped & fell on the floor. The bullet escaped just beside his ear & got pierced in the wall. "Please believe me, what I said to your senior officer is the truth & I made correct sketches" he said in a weak tone & fainted. Arjun sighed & entered in the Interrogation room. " Leave him Rajat, I am sure he is speaking the truth. I can gauge this from his body language. Call Doctor, he needs first aid."


Arjun was sitting in his cabin lost in some deep thoughts. Rajat entered in the cabin with some paper.

Rajat- Boss, our team got some new information.

Arjun- What?

Rajat- We got the details of the number from which Ravi received the order to collect Dev's laptop from his flat. The number was registered in the name of Rana. Now, it is deactivated but what Ravi said is true. Ravi called this number few days before the second attack on Samaira. Another important thing, Rajen was regularly stayed in touch with Rana. This is clear from the phone records.

Arjun carefully checked all the call details.

Arjun- There is another striking similarity in all their call records. Do you noticed that Rajat?

Rajat- what?

Arjun- See the call locations of Anil, Rajen & Rana of that day we arrested Sarika, Dipesh & caught the bag of RDX, all these three were present in jungle. We got Anil & Rajen's dead body but Rana escaped, most probably after killing the two.

Rajat- Possible.

Arjun- But see, Rana's cell location was not the exact same as Anil & Rajen's. So, that's mean, he was not travelling with them from Khanna Industries Godown to A.D.Road. But, he reached in jungle sensing the danger that we caught the third Assignment. Someone definitely informed him, but how? There is no records, most probably, they contacted through messages or he has another number.

Arjun lit a cigarette.

Arjun- Without any doubt, we can say that Rana is Nandini's associate. He acts as her driver & always stays with her. Let's track Nandini & Rana together.

Rajat- How?

Arjun- Call Parmeet.

Rajat nodded his head. After sometime, a young Punjabi man entered in his cabin. He saluted both of them. Parmeet Kaur, the most junior officer in their team, joined just five months ago.

Arjun- Parmeet, you are going to follow Nandini & Rana from today. I want their each & every details.

Parmeet- Yes Sir.

Arjun- But you are not going to take any risk. Always stay in touch with the team. For any emergency, just call me or Rajat. No risk taking, no action. Just follow both of them & collect info about them. Am I made myself clear?

Parmeet- Yes Sir.

He saluted back & left the cabin.

Rajat- There is another information. Our technical team is still working to restore all the data of the laptop which Ravi deleted, but we got the details of the IP Address from which Ravi used to get all mails. It was registered in the name of Jai Khanna.
