CheckMate Part 33

In hospital, Arjun came out from doctor cabin. Rajat was waiting for him standing outside. Arjun sat on a chair in corridor.

Rajat ( in a worried tone)- Are you all right Arjun? Is your wound is paining too much?

Arjun (sighed)- That bloody killer escaped. When I reached the hotel, he already shot Rana, but I can catch him easily. ( Arjun closed his eyes) I missed a big chance. When he kicked at my wound, my whole body feels numb.

Rajat- I know Arjun. Rana's death is a big drawback, but you can't give up.

Arjun did not say anything.

Rajat- I have a news for you Arjun. DGP Anirudh Dasgupta is here. Your four days deadline is getting over. And, it's time for decision. Today, at evening, he has a meeting with Sashank Sir at Police Headquarter.

Arjun face lit up. "That's a fantastic news Rajat. My presence is very important in that meeting. Only I can give them all the answers to each of their questions. Arjun spoke in a very confident tone.

Rajat (in awe)- But Rana is dead!

Arjun ( with a smirk)- So what??

Arjun came back in his home & entered in the washroom to freshen up. After sometimes, he came out wearing a white full sleeves shirt & black trousers. He wore a black tie & put on a black suit. He closed a button & clipped his Identity card like badge on the left side of his chest. He combed his hair & then looked at himself on the mirror carefully. He took some deep breaths to calm down . He took his laptop & some other files in a bag & went out closing the door.

At Police Headquarter, Arjun stopped outside a closed door. Rajat tapped his shoulder & murmured "All the Best to him. Arjun nodded his head & smiled. Arjun knocked & came inside the cabin. It's a conference room. The Special Director of IB, DGP Anirudh Dasgupta was sitting there and working something in his laptop. He looks old but there is something in his personality which is intimidating & he has a strong powerful aura. IG Sashank Bhargav is also present there. Arjun greeted both of them. DGP Anirudh gave him a blank look & gestured him to take his seat. Arjun sat on the chair beside Sashank. Anirudh closed his laptop & looked towards Arjun.

Anirudh- IPS Arjun Mehra, I don't think I have to waste my precious time to elaborate the reason for this meeting. So, without wasting any more minute, just speak what you have to say.

Arjun- Sir, but before answering, let me again frame all the questions of accusations against me and my would be wife Samaira Khanna to avoid any confusion.

Anirudh & Sashank both raised their eyebrows looking towards Arjun, but he gave them a small smile.

Sashank- Samaira Khanna's bank account was used in terrorist funding.

Arjun ( in a confident tone)- I can prove that the account is not Samaira's.

Anirudh- Then, proceed officer.

Arjun nodded his head & switched on his laptop. He showed the picture of Zubin. " He is Zubin, Samaira friend & colleague in Birdsong. Then, he played the video of Zubin confession.

Arjun- Sir, you can check the authenticity of the video by Forensic examination & can also interrogate Zubin again. He is in SI Rajat Basu's custody.

Anirudh- That we will surely do. But Officer, this Zubin confession is not enough proof to prove Samaira's innocent.

Sashank- We all know, the Xerox of Identity proofs can be misused easily. It is not a big deal to get photocopies of someone's identity proofs or forging a signature. But what your explanation regarding the use of Samaira Khanna's cell number in that account? Don't tell me that someone cloned the SIM card or phone. Our cyber experts thoroughly scanned Samaira Khanna's cell & according to their report , there is no such things happened in her phone or SIM card.
