'KINS IN POWER', read the the morning headlines. The new CM Ranveer Thakore and the to be CEO of Rathore Enterprises Vinayak Rathore have changed the face of Rajasthan in just one night.

"Their elegant persona and grit has earned them an extraordinary position." Read Siddharth aloud in horror. "Today Mr. Jaswanth Rathore, former CEO of the company will hand over the rights to Mr. Vinayak Rathore."
"God always uplifts the humble," taunted Paresh sipping his tea.

Siddharth burst out laughing and said, "and man knows how to play with fools."

Paresh smirked at his son saying, "At least Vinayak has a stable job and a better post than you useless lad."

Siddharth could only grin saying, "My old father's advocate brains have rusted. Wait and watch what will happen... I'm on my way to see Shivendra..."

The old man shook his head in disdain and decided to concentrate on his tea. He had no idea how and why his son got into the company of that ruffian Shivendra instead of Vinayak and his three godly brother's.

Pratap kept pacing his room in his new penthouse in a straight line. The creases on his forehead, the folder in his hands and his eyes fixated on the content etched on the paper.

His coffee mug stood on his desk waiting to be washed and dried

His coffee mug stood on his desk waiting to be washed and dried. His bags at the corner of his huge room we're waiting to be unpacked. His bed was untouched and the sheets stood crisp and new.

He had locked himself in his room after his meeting with the unfortunate Mukesh. There, he was waiting to die while here Pratap was trying to place the events in a sequence.

Three days old prostatic fluid found in the girl....thought Pratap sitting at the edge of his bed. "How is this possible? If the CM had gone to Deengarh on the 16th...then the girl was raped on the 15th... probably at night..."

He looked back into the folder and read in an audible voice, "Test conducted on the 17th...which makes the semen already three days old. How on Earth did CM Mukesh's DNA match? Did he really..."

Pratap still couldn't bring himself to think that the CM could do such a thing. Another thing that appalled him was the fact of Ranveer becoming CM with zero experience in politics.

"How did the girl recognize the man if it was dark?" asked Pratap reading the report for the hundredth time. "Was this scripted or did it honestly happen? If it was scripted there would be no torture marks on the girl nor the CM's semen in her nor on her clothes..."

Just then he heard a knock on his door and sighed hiding the file in his locker. He opened the door finding Shivendra with a deep crimson face.
