"But that can't be the only thing Pratap." Reminded Bhagwant with a thoughtful frown. "You can't take him down under mere alleged rape charges and defamation."

"Yes that's true..." Mumbled Pratap and then looked at Yukti asking, "Have you sent that to the Medical board of India?"

She gave him a curt nod and then looked at commissioner Khan saying, "Sir, Pallavi fumbled while giving a statement. I think...we can use her inhibition and the doctors statement to frame a case of defamation."

"Inhibition can't be used," reminded the commissioner, "she can very well say that she was intimidated by you'll."

"But sir...Pratap has placed a microphone underneath her couch. Whatever she talks will be recorded." Grinned Yukti glancing at Pratap who looked at her wide eyed.

"You

"You...saw that!" He exclaimed.

"You're working with Yukti Thakur." She smirked making Bhagwant shake his head immediately and taunt, "Who still doesn't know to make a cup of tea for her father!"

Commissioner Khan and Pratap burst out laughing giving each other a high five and Yukti scowled at them.

"Anyway..." Continued Bhagwant, "Pratap, I suggest that you begin looking into Ranveer's... charitable trusts and federation. You might come across black money."

"I've begun that and..."

Just then Pratap's phone rang and he narrowed his eyes at the name mumbling, "As expected..." Picking up the phone he asked, "Yes my private detective."

"The Indian medical board has cancelled Ranjan's license." Came Siddharth's voice. "And where the hell are you! How can you leave me and make plans?"

"I'm at professor Bhagwant's house. Come soon." Chuckled Pratap and cut the call. Looking at the commissioner, the professor and the inspector he said, "Ranjan's license is cancelled."

"YES!" Exclaimed Yukti immediately. "Now...he will easily confess everything."

"Yes your right," nodded Pratap. "I'm grateful that you recorded his confession."

"After all I'm..."

"Wait you noisemakers!" Snapped an annoyed commissioner Khan. "That cheap Pallavi is talking to someone..."

Immediately they all huddled closer to the the commissioner's phone, which through the attached microphone at Pallavi's house recorded the call.

"IF HE FINDS OUT, I'M FINISHED..." She screamed. "EVEN THAT MARWADI HAS CONFESSED..."

They sat silently unable to hear the voice on the other end of Pallavi's phone.

"I hope for your sake he dies." Saying this the line went dead and there was complete silence.

Commissioner Khan reclined back into the couch mumbling, "Either that line was meant for Pratap or Ranjan who's under police custody."

"Sir we can double the security on Ranjan." Suggested Yukti immediately.
