Abhijit explains to the team they have been tracking the movement of an international arms dealer- Mr Raj Kark who deals with drugs and arms. He is most wanted in India for many crimes and his presence here indicates a big plan or deal. During this tracking they came to know that Kunwar Mahen, the prince of this village is a known member of this gang and he has taken a very big amount of loan from Raj. The prince has squandered all his wealth and is now at the mercy of Raj. They both stay and operate from different countries. The prince has never come to India since 13 years after commiting two murders (he escaped and had no witnesses).
Abhijit says they have no idea why after 13 years these people have gathered and what role does Madan and possibly Purvi plays in this. He says his informer has managed to get hold of a trusted and old palace servant who will come late at night to explain the palace secret. They have to wait for him in the safe house and in the meanwhile they are tracking mobile phone records and activities around the area.
In midst of all this Rajat cannot help but think of Purvi. He is helpless that he has no information about her safety. He just hopes she is safe and he gets another chance to meet her. He receives a call from Minty. He normally would never receive calls from family during mission, but this time he makes an exception as he feels she may have some news about Purvi.
Rajat: Bol Minty..kuch pata chala..woh ghar aayi kya?
Minty: Nahi bhaiyya..woh nahi aayi..main use bahut miss kar rahi hoon. Pata hai kal uska 22nd bday hai…
Rajat feels an arrow pierce his heart. Its her birthday hopefully not last.
At Old factory:
Purvi hears voices around, but she cannot identify them. She tries to get up but feels her movement is restricted, her hands and feet pain. She opens her eyes and tries to focus, she can faintly make out two men moving and running around. Rajat! She has a faint hope in heart it must be him. She feels a splash of water on her face, feels cold and wakes up. When her vison clears, she immediately turns around, and is confused and then scared looking at the surroundings. This is not her house, looks like some dark, cold and a jungle kind of place.
A well dressed man walks up to her and says
Mahen: Mandira. Kaisi ho?
Purvi: main..main purvi hoon..madan bhaiyya…
Mahen: (laughs loudly) Yeh kismet ka khel hai..Tum Rajkumari Mandira ho, meri choti bahen aur Raja Nareshchand ki beti. 13 saal pehle jab tum 9 saal ki thi tab tumhe kisine maar diya tha. Magar mere pitaji ne tumhe hum sab se chupake uss Madan ko de diya sambhalne…Ab aaj 13 saal baad tum aayi ho. Dekho main pyaar se keh raha hoon..jaisa main kahoonga waisa tum karogi. Samjhi….
CID safe house:
The house is in darkness. A shadow creeps up in the room. Abhijit signals and the man comes inside and removes blanket.
Abhijit: Kaka, dhanyawaad aap CID ki madad kar rahe hai
Kaka: Saab, mera farz hai. Humne barso se raja saab ka namak khaya hai. Aaj unpe sankat aaye toh hum dekh nahi sakte.
Kaka starts telling him the family story of Raja Nareshchand.
Raja Nareshchand and his ancestors have ruled the village of Malikpur for ages. Their family is a matrarchial family (women aand daughters have more rights to property). The king had a son Mahen who was very spoilt in nature. The royal family got a girl child after 13 years. As per their traditions, on the girl's 1st birthday, the child became the bigger holder of all the properties and vast wealth. To protect the child's interests, the king made a change in the will to ensure that the wealth and property shifts to the girls name on her 22nd birthday and till then the king is the guardian. To safeguard her life, the will also has a clause that if the princess is found dead or insane before her 22nd birthday, the money automatically goes to a trust.
Everything was fine till the girl was 5 years in age. Soon she became a victim of frequent accidents which were mysterious. In one such incident the queen lost her life. By this time the prince had grown up and became very notorious for his bad habits and money spending ways. He was becoming a nuisance for the king and one day in a fit of rage, killed 2 royal servants (a young girl and her father) brutally. The very same day, the princess who was 9 years old was abducted and presumed to be dead. The king sent his son abroad overnight and broke all ties with him. The prince never returned to the village ad it seemed the king has lost all his family.
Abhijit: Toh phir yeh Mahen 13 saal ke baad aaj kyun aaya hai?
Kaka: Yeh baat toh hame bhi nahi samajh aayi. Kunwar saab toh rajmahal nahi aaye, hamne raja saab ki baat sunli unke saath. Woh aaye hai kyunki kal 22nd janamdin hai Rajkumari ka.
Abhijit: Kya..aapko kaise pata?
Kaka: Har saaal rajaji mandira kumari ke janamdin ko manate hai anath bachon ko khaana khilakar. Kal toh bahut bada aayojan hai. Raja ji barso baad itne khush hai. Magar..
Abhijit: Magar kya?
Kaka: magar do din se raja ji bahut chinta me hai. Ek darr hai unki aankhon me. Main bachpan se rajaji ke saath kaam kar raha hoon. Ache se jaanta hoon. Yeh kunwar saab itne saal baad aaye hai toh zaroor kuch hoga. Kuch bura hoga. Kal rajkumari ka 22 wa janamdin hai. Agar who zinda hoti toh kal ye saaari zameen, jaydaad aur daulat ki malkin ban jaati.
Rajat asks the old man
Rajat: Aap isse jaante hai? Shows his pic to him
Kaka: yeh jaana pehchana hai..magar iska naam yaad nahi aa raha
Rajat : Iska naam madan hai. Hame khabar mili hai ki kayi saalon se is gaav me aata jaata hai. Magar kyun yeh nahi pata chala
The old man looks at the pic more closely. He thinks hard and then with a surprise he says
Kaka: Yeh..yeh toh Mohan singh hai..Hari singh ka beta. Yeh toh 13 saal pehle yahan se bhaag gaya tha..iski mooche nahi thi tab…Iske pita Rajaji ke sabse bharose ke aadmi the. Kunwar mahen ne iski baap aur behen dono ko gusse me maar diya tha 13 saal pehle.
The Cid team is shocked to know the story. Kaka leaves.
Shreya: Abhi bhi poori story nahi samajh aayi. Aakhir kal kya hone waala hai?
Rajat: Mujhe sab samajh aa gaya. Purvi yehi ishara kar rahi thi..
Pankaj: Sir, aap kya keh rahe hai Sir?
Rajat: Pankaj yaad hai purvi ke ghar se paper mila tha..usme likha tha 22 birthday malikpur..kal Purvi ka 22nd birthday hai..madan asal me raja ka aadmi hai..hamare paas madan ka data sirf 13 saal purana hai. Uske pehleka kuch nahi. Purvi ki story bhi madan se judi hai. Use bhi uske pehle ka kuch yaad nahi…yaani..iska matlab hai..Purvi hi woh rajkumari hai. Kal use saari property miljayegi…
Abhijit: Rajat bilkul sahi kaha tumne. Warna aaj hi ke din madan kyun aata, kunwar kyun aata..magar yeh Raj kya kar raha hai yahan pe? Shreya tum Mahen, Raj ka mobile trace karo.
Just then Abhijit's informer calls and speaks to Abhijit..
Abhijit: Ab saara khel samajh aagaya. Raj yahan bahut badi property deal karne aaya hai. Apne paise wasooolne aaya hai Kunwar mahen se.
Old factory:
Mahen has by this time explained Mandira (Purvi) the family history and what she will gain tomorrow. He wants her to transfer or write all the assets and property on Raj and Mahen's name.
Mahen: Jab main 13 saal pehle yahan se gaya, tab mujhe laga tha ki tumhari maut ke baad mera sab kuch chala gaya. Mere hisse ki jitni zameen jaydaad thi who sab mit gayi. Main iss ghar ka bada beta hoon magar mujhe insaaf nahi mila. Aaj tu achanak se itne saal ke baad aakar yuhi haq jamayegi? Main yeh nahi hone doonga. Agar tum seedhi tarah nahi maani toh mere paas aur bhi tarike hai.
Purvi is very scared and looks around for help. She sees an old man sitting with his head on hands. Its her father. She wants to look at him closely. She wants to call him but is unsure what to call him..
Purvi: Ba..Baba..mujhe dekhiye..
The king looks up with a sad face and wills her silently to agree with Mahen. She is confused why he is giving up so easily. She silently nods her head but Madan speaks up from the pillar where he is tied.
Madan: Nahi Purvi, tum mat man na. Yeh tumhe zinda nahi chodega. Maar dega. Ek baar tumne sign kar diya, phir tum nahi bachogi..Meri kasam hai tujhe..dekho..he is not able to finish the sentence as the King picks a knife from his dress and stabs Madan!
Madan is shocked, he never expected this from the king, he feels the pain and sees blood oozing out. His eyes are wide open and he asks with a pained expression..Kyun Rajaji..
The king indicates something with his eyes…
The king then calmly says to Purvi
King: Deho agar madan ki salamti chahti ho, toh jaisa mahen keh raha hai..maan jaao…warna…he has tears in his eyes but his voice is steely..
Purvi is stunned and is worried to see Madan hurt. She starts sobbing and tells Mahen she agrees and will sign over everything tomorrow. She is unable to process everything that has happened around and suddenly has a blackout and drops on the floor. The king rushes to her and sobs stroking her head.
Mahen leaves the place with few men and tells the king that he has to be ready with Purvi to complete the handover in front of the advocate and collector (this is just fiction!).
Late at night, there are few people left in the den, the king has slept, Purvi is still unconscious and then..Madan opens his eyes feels the wound that hurts him, looks around to see where the men are placed..and then makes his way out crawling noiselessly….a guard spots him, but before he can raise an alarm, someone clamps the guard's mouth and in one attack slits his man drops dead. Madan looks up and it's the king !
King: Jaao..Madan..jaao..abhi..
Madan gives him one last look and makes his way out in the darkness…
Where is Madan headed? What happens next?
Once again thank you for your
