Now the investigation starts…
HAVE A HAPPY READING…
Hospital…
ACP entered the hospital and had a small talk with the doctor about Abhijeet's health…then he went to meet Abhi…he entered the ICU…Abhi was awake and half sitting on the bed with support of the back-rest…Freddy and Sachin were sitting on either side of the bed and the three were talking…As ACP entered, Freddy and Sachin stood up…Abhi also tried to sit but ACP stopped him from doing so and helped him back in a comfortable position…ACP asked Sachin by eyes if he had told anything to Abhi about Daya and he nodded his head in no…ACP then said aloud…
ACP : Accha Freddy, Sachin…tum dono abhi ghar jao…raaat bhar yaha the to thak gaye hoge…jake thori der araam kar lo aur dopehar ko aa jana bureau..theek hai…
Sachin: Par sir…
ACP(cutting him and signalling towards Abhi): Par war kuch nahi Sachin…its an order…
Sachin(understands that ACP don't want to reveal anything in front of Abhi): OK sir…hum chalte hai…(to Abhi) sir aap apna dhyaan rakhna…(and both of them move…)
ACP come and sit on a stool beside Abhi's bed…
ACP: Aur mere sher…kaise ho abb.. haa…?
Abhi(with a smile): Theek hu sir…
ACP: Chalo accha hai…..(changing his tone to serious)..accha Abhijeet ek baat batao…jab tumpar humla hua…to tumne dekha tha use…mera matlab hai uss humla karne wale ko…kuch yaad aata hai…?
Abhi(acting as if he is trying to remember): Nahi sir…aisa to kuch nahi…maine uska chehra to nahi dekha tha…
ACP: Accha…nahi dekha tha….(thinks something and then speaks)..accha Abhijeet…jab ghar par tumpar humla hua tab aur koi tha ghar pe…? Kyonki jab hum gaye the tab tumhare ghar ka darwaza khula hua tha…
Abhi: Nahi sir uss waqt mai ghar me akela hi tha…aur jaha tak baat darwaze ki hai to sir wo maine hi khola tha…ye dekhne ke liye ki aap me se koi aa raha hai ya nahi…
ACP: To…koi aaya tha...?(now ACP was observing each and every expression of Abhi but he was quite cool and normal)
Abhi: Nahi sir koi bhi nahi aaya tha…
ACP knows the truth very well but still he is trying to tackle him to learn the truth from him…But Abhi was Abhi…If he has decided that he will not tell the truth then nobody can make him do so…but ACP Pradyuman certainly can…he can do anything…but it was a bit difficult with Abhi who is so sharp to describe in words…Both had the benefit of knowing each other for such a long time that makes it easy for both to predict the next step or read the mind of each other…but this was also a problem for both in this situation…
ACP: Accha…koi nahi tha…hmmm…phir….phir kya hua…? Tumne darwaza band nahi kiya? Aise hi chale gaye andar..
Abhi was present with full preparation…
Abhi: Ha sir maine band to kiya tha par shayad lock theek se laga nahi tha…
ACP: tumne check nahi kiya…
Abhi: Nahi sir…actually tabhi mere phone par ek message aya tha…mujhe laga shayad team me se kisi ka hoga…to mai andar chala gaya…socha wapas aakar dekhta hu…par phir dhyaan hi nahi raha…
ACP: hmmm….Aur…aur kuch yaad hai…matlab…koi awaaz suni ho ya aisa laga ho ki koi nazar rakh raha hai ya phir kuch aur…?
Abhi: Nahi sir…uss din mai itna busy tha ki maine itna dhyaan hi nahi diya…par jaha tak mujhe yaad hai..aisa to maine kuch bhi nahi dekha tha..na hi kuch suna tha…
ACP: Accha….tumne darwaza khola..ye dekhne ki hum aye hai ya nahi…phir tumne darwaza band kiya par lock nahi kiya aur andar chale gaye(he repeated the whole thing to make a clear view..then..)…phir kya hua…uske baad exactly kya hua tha waha pe…?
Abhi: sirrrr…Uske baad maine Daya ko aur baaki sab ko contact karne ki koshish ki…par kisi ka bhi response nahi mila…maine Daya ko ek text message bheja aur kitchen me gaya paani lene…paani lekar mai wapas aya aur sofa par baithne wala tha ki tabhi mujhe yaad aya ki jaldi jaldi me maine upar ke kamre ke windows khule chor diye hai…maine glass table par rakha(ACP remember a glass full of water was kept on that table and he nod in yes) upar jane ke liye jaise hi muda…mujhe darwaze ke khulne ki awaaz sunai di…aur mai jaise hi piche muda to kisi ne mujhpar goli chala di...
ACP: Tumne palatkar jawab nahi diya…?
Abhi: Sir mere uski taraf mudte hi usne mujhpar do goliya chala di…sudden attack ki wajah se mujhe response ka time hi nahi mila….mai kuch bhi samajh pata, isse pehle hi mai behosh ho gaya…
ACP nods like he understand…
ACP: Aur hospital me..? Tab bhi tumne kisi ko nahi dekha..?
Abhi: Nahi sir, maine kisi ko nahi dekha….
ACP: Kyu..tab to khooni tumhare saamne hi tha na…
Abhi(now a bit angry): Sir…aap mujhpe shak kar rahe hai…aapko lagta hai ki mai jhoot bol raha hu…?
ACP: Are Abhijeet…ye kya keh rahe ho…bhala mai tumpar shak kyu karunga…mai to isiliye pooch raha tha ki tumhari baato se hume koi suraag(clue)mil jaye to hum asaani se khooni ko pakar sakte hai…Accha theek hai koi baat nahi…tum abhi araam karo…mai baad me tumse milta hu...(he pat his shoulder lightly and move towards door but stop near the door and look back..) Accha Abhijeet…ye Daya kahi dikhai nahi diya…kal raat ko to yahi tha na...hum aye tab bhi nahi mila…
Abhi: Ha sir…wo to kal raat ko hi nikal gaya tha kisi zaroori kaam se…uske kisi khabri ne bulaya tha…wo mana karne laga tha par maine hi zor diya…keh raha tha ki time lag jayega…(thinks something and says in low voice)..sirrr…uska kaam pura hone par hi milega wo wapas…
ACP(a bit angry, understanding the meaning of his last line): Abhijeet…agar uska kaam hone se pehle mile to hi accha hoga…(said highlighting on the the words 'uska kaam')
Both Abhijeet and ACP knew the fact that Daya was the one who attacked Abhi…both at Abhi's home and in the hospital…and both made each other make this realise with those last line of their…but still they didn't accept this…Abhi wanted to save his friend from ACP…but why? Afterall, was the one who tried to kill him, right? And he may attack him again…then why..?
Here ACP sir went to bureau and found everybody was engrossed in his or her work…When they noticed him coming, they wished him….
All: Good morning sir…
ACP: Good morning….Rajat, kuch pata chala iss case se related?
Rajat: Nahi sir abhi tak kuch khaas nahi…humne apne saare khabriyo ko kaam pe laga diya hai…
ACP(very angry): Subah se kuch bhi nahi pata chala…(shouting badly)..subah se kar kya rahe ho tum log… (and he stormed inside his cabin…)
Everybody gets scared seeing him like that…but everyone knew the reason behind that anger…but still nobody had the guts to speak anything in front of him when his anger was at peak….
Freddy: Kash Abhijeet sir ya Daya sir yaha hote to wohi baat kar sakte the aisi situation me ACP sir se…meri to himmat hi nahi hoti kuch bolne ki unhe aise dekhkar…
Rajat: Ha Freddy, baat to tumhari sahi hai…Abhijeet aur Daya sir se acche se aur koi unhe nahi samajha sakta….par Freddy unka gussa bhi jayaz hai…wo kisi se kahenge to nahi par dil to unka abhi bhi ye nahi manta ki Daya sir aisa kuch bhi kar sakte hai…unka ye gussa aur kuch nahi balki unka dard hai..chinta hai apne dono beto ke liye(smile a bit)…hum to apna dard doosro se share kar lete hai par ACP sir…wo kisi ke bhi saamne apna dard nahi dikha paate…isiliye unka dard hi unke gusse ke roop me bahar aata hai…(changing his tone)..anyways, Sachin tumse kaha tha na Daya sir ke phone ki last location ka pata karne ke liye…kuch pata chala?
Sachin: Sir, maine mobile company waalo ko call kiya tha…wo pata lagte hi hume call karke bata denge…
Rajat : Theek hai…
Just then, they saw ACP sir coming out of his cabin…
ACP: Rajat…
Rajat: Sir…aap…(and he stopped)
ACP: kya..?
Rajat: Sir…aap…aap theek hai?
ACP just looks at him as if he is saying 'what do you think'…
Rajat (get some courage after finding him a bit calm): Sir…aapko lagta hai ki…ki…Daya sir…(again stops and looks at ACP)
ACP(calm): Rajat…yaha mere , tumhare ya kisi aur ke kuch lagne ya na lagne se kuch nahi hota…sirf sabot matter karta hai…aur iss waqt humare paas sirf ek hi saboot hai…woh chasmadeed gawah(eye witness)..woh nurse..aur wo bhi Daya ke khilaaf hai…
Rajat: Par sir itne se ye to saabit nahi ho jata na ki Daya sir ne hi Abhijeet sir pe humla kiya hai…
ACP: Par isse kafi kuch saabit ho jata hai Rajat…isse ye sabit ho jata hai ki Daya uss waqt waha maujood tha jab Abhijeet par attack hua…use pata tha ki Abhijeet sink kar raha hai phir bhi wo waha se nikal gaya…aur saamne se jata to ek baar sochte bhi ki shayad koi kaam hai magar wo chupke gaya tha ..chupke….agar usne kuch nahi kiya to phir use sabse chupne ki zaroorat hi kya thi..….
Sachin came towards them: Sir…mobile company se Daya sir ke mobile ki akhri location trace ho gayi hai…
ACP(looking towards Sachin): Sachin…maine tumhe aur Freddy ko ghar jaane ke liye kaha tha na..tum dono yaha kya kar rahe ho…
Sachin: Sir…Abhijeet sir ki jaan khatre me hai aur Daya sir ka kuch pata nahi…aise me hum ghar kaise baithe rehte…
ACP: Phir bhi Sachin…dopeher ko to aane hi wale the na…
Sachin: Don't worry sir…hum theek hai…
ACP nods in yes and : Accha tum keh rahe the ki Daya ke mobile ki last location ka pata chal gaya hai… kaha pe trace hui hai…
Sachin: Sir…unka mobile last time purani industrial colony ke paas trace hua tha...par sir waha ki to saari factories kai saalo se band padi hui hai…paach saal pehle hi saari factories ko shift kiya gaya tha…abb to waha koi aata jata bhi nahi hai …Daya sir aise jagah pe kya karne gaye honge?
Rajat : Wahi chalkar dekhte hai…(and they move towards that factory area...)
A big rusted gate was present at the entrance of the industrial colony which was half open….Rajat parked the car outside that gate…then all three of them carefully moved inside…As soon as they entered, they heard some beeping sound from nearby…They followed the sound and found a small device fitted near the gate…
Sachin: Sir ye kya hai…
ACP: Sachin…ye ek aisa device hai jo mobile phones ko detect kar leta hai…jaise hi koi mobile iski range me aata hai to ye use detect kar leta hai aur sound produce karta hai…isiliye abhi ye awaaz aa rahi hai kyonki humare cell phones on hai…
Rajat: Matlab sir…isiliye Daya sir ne apna mobile yaha andar aane se pehle hi switch off kar di…shayad unhe iss device ke bare me pehle se pata hoga…
ACP: Haa…pata to hoga…par Rajat iss baat se ye to tay ho jata hai ki yaha par koi to tha ya phir shayad abhi bhi andar hi hai….iss device ki range jyada nahi lagti…mobile switch off mat karna…iske range se bahar jaate hi ye awaaz bhi band ho jayegi…
Rajat: Sir mujhe nahi lagta abb andar koi hoga…agar hota to abhi tak to ye awaaz sun ke bahar aa jana chahiye tha na…
ACP(while moving inside): hmm…ek kaam karo, chaaro taraf fail jao…ek ek factory ko check karo….dekho koi hai kya…Daya yaha aise hi to nahi aya hoga..kuch to zaroor hoga yaha pe…dekho dhyaan se aur kuch mile to akele mat jana…bluetooth on hai na sabka…
Sachin and Rajat: Yes sir…
ACP: Good…kuch pata chalte hi Bluetooth par inform karna…OK…Now go…and be careful..
The three of them moved inside cautiously…after sometime that sound also stopped as the mobiles were now out of its range…they started checking each factory…After long time of searching , Sachin found something and he call ACP and Rajat over the Bluetooth…they came to the place…
ACP: Ha Sachin…kya mila…
Sachin: Sir ye dekhiye(he said pointing to a small table) sir…ye phone abhi bhi kaam kar raha hai…
ACP: Kya phone chalu hai…band factory ka phone kaam kar raha hai…kuch samajh aya Rajat…
Rajat: Yes sir…matlab hume kuch aur der yaha guzaarna padega…
ACP(with smile): Bilkul sahi…chalo phir..lag jao kaam pe…(and they started searching that factory..)
After sometime, Rajat calls them to a point…they go there and…
Rajat: Sir..pakka yaha pe koi tha…ye dekhiye sir...(pointing to a corner)..yaha koi bidi pi raha tha…yaha itne saare buds pade hue hai…
ACP: Aur kuch mila…?
Rajat : Nahi sir aur to kuch nahi…
ACP: Aur Sachin tumhe..?
Sachin: No sir…
ACP: Theek hai…ek kaam karo…in buds ko evidence bag me daalo aur forensic lab me bhej do…
And then they moved back to bureau…
In bureau…
They were discussing about the latest progress…when Freddy suddenly ask ACP..
Freddy: Sir…aapne Abhijeet sir ko kuch nahi bataya na…
ACP: Mai kya batau use Freddy…sab jaanta hai wo…sab kuch…par manne ko tayar nahi hai….uske liye to uski dosti ke age kuch hai hi nahi…apne dost ko bachane ke liye poori nayi kahani bana di usne…maine indirectly use puchne ki koshish ki Daya ke bare me to kehta hai ki khabri se milne gaya tha…(in anger)khabri se milne waha, uss band factory me gaya tha wo…
Sachin: Sir…Daya sir ko bachane ke liye Abhijeet sir kuch bhi kar sakte hai…wo akhri saans tak unka sath nahi chorenge…
ACP(still in anger): Aur jis dost ko wo bachane ki koshish kar raha hai, wohi dost uski aakhri saanse ginne me madad kar raha hai…
All become sad…Suddenly, ACP's phone rings…
ACP(on phone): Ha Salunkhe…accha theek hai hum aate hai…(cut the phone and turns to others)..Forensic lab chalo…
In Forensic Lab…
ACP(enter almost rushing): Ha Salunkhe…jaldi bol kya pata chala…
Salunkhe: Wo sab mai tumhe batata hu…pehle ye batao ki Abhijeet abb kaisa hai…koi khatre ki baat to nahi hai na…(he said with worried face..Tarika also approached them to know about him..)
ACP: Nahi chinta ki koi baat nahi hai…Abhijeet abb bilkul theek hai…doctor ne kaha hai ki wo bahut hi jaldi recover kar raha hai…hafte bhar aaraam ki zaroorat hai phir wapis duty bhi join kar lega…
Salunkhe(relieved): Thank God…warna kal uski jaisi haalat ho gayi thi…mujhe to darr hi lag gaya tha…(Tarika got tears and she went to an adjusant room making an excuse…Salunkhe look at her and becomes sad)..bechari Tarika kal se itni pareshan hai…pehle kabhi Abhijeet ko kuch bhi hota tha to Daya aur ye ek doosre ka sahara ban jaate the…par iss baat ne ki Daya ne Abhijeet ka khoon karne ki koshish ki…use bilkul tor diya hai…maine bahut mushkil se samjhaya to kaam kar pa rahi hai…
ACP: hmmm….samajh sakta hu Salunkhe…par accha hai ki kaam par aa rahi hai..kam se kam dhyaan to bata rahega…aur phir ye Daya wali baat ne to hum sab ko hi pareshaan kar rakha hai…(again strong)samajh nahi aata, aakhir iss Daya ke dimaag me chal kya raha hai…
Salunkhe(now strong): Pradyuman, Daya ke dimaag me kya chal raha hai, ye to mai nahi bata sakta par ek baat zaroor bata sakta hu…
ACP: Kya..?
Salunkhe: Boss jis band factory me Daya gaya tha…waha paach log the…
Rajat: Paach log….par ye baat aap itne yakeen ke sath kaise keh sakte hai?
Salunkhe: Rajat…jo bidi ke buds tum logo ko waha mile the…unke upar se saliva ke sample liye the maine…unko check kiya to pata chala ki wo saliva paach alag lag logo ke the…matlab waha at least paach log to the hi….
Sachin: Par sir ye paach log ho kaun sakte hai…?
ACP: shayad gunde mawali honge…ya phir kisi gang ke log honge…warna aisi jagah pe aur kaun jaega…
Freddy: Par sir Daya sir bhi to wahi gaye the…who inn logo se kyu milne jayenge…
ACP: Kyunki Freddy…abb Daya humara wo purana Daya raha hi nahi…raha hi nahi wo humara Daya…
This makes all sad…ACP again gets a call…its Purvi…
ACP(on call): Ha Purvi kuch pata chala…ha…..phir kiya tumne waisa…..accha…kya pata chala…(screams)KYA?...pakka….abhi bhi hai…accha hum sab wahi jaate hai, tum update deti rehana…
Everyone was worried….they all were looking at him with curious eyes….After talking with Purvi, he tell others about the call..
ACP: Daya ka mobile phir se switch on hua tha thori der pehle…location uske ghar ki pata chali hai…par abb phir se band hai…
Sachin: Sir phir to hume turant Daya sir ke ghar chalna chahiye…shayad abb bhi wo wahi ho…
ACP: Ha jaldi chalo…(and they move fast to Daya's home…)
