Same time, At Agartala Police Station.
Inspector Barun said, "Sir, you interrogate the criminals so strictly. Are you always strict like this?"
Chandra- "I am a strict, disciplined but emotional policeman, working in this uniform since 12 years."
Barun- "Emotional? We didn't know that you have a soft corner."
Chandra- "Never go by the fact that I am always strict. I don't drink, smoke or have any other such addiction but that doesn't prove that I am very strict. I am not your Maths teacher." (Laughing)
Saurabh said, "He is the most disciplined man I have ever seen in my life. He inspires everyone everytime."
Chandra said, "That's too much. I am not that great a man."
Barun said, "Sir, ever since you came here 3 months ago, you didn't tell us about your family."
Chandra- "I had my father, mother and elder brother in my family. Currently, I live with my wife and daughter who are currently on a visit to her house in Coochbehar, West Bengal. My parents passed away due to their old age diseases. Elder brother died in an accident." (Tears drop down from his eyes.)
Silence covered the whole room.
Sub-Inspector Rohit- "I am so sorry for you, sir."
Chandra- "It's ok."
Rohit said, "Ok, let's change the topic. Well, Saurabh sir, what's going on in the nation?"
Saurabh- "That new virus- corona- is slowly spreading in the nation."
Barun- "I think, the first covid case in India was reported in Kerala in January."
Chandra- "Saurabh, have people started taking precautions? Should we get some masks here too?"
Saurabh- "People are roaming here and there with peace with no precaution."
Chandra- "What say, Barun?"
Barun- "We should start taking precautions. I got to know that the virus is dangerously spreading all around the world."
Next day, at Agartala Gol Bazar.
Chandra- "Will searching for him here of any use?"
Saurabh- "Don't know. Let's try. Well, Sir, do you think arresting him will be justified?"
"Not completely. Just because he got the illegal acts of that politician exposed, we have been ordered to arrest him and also to raid on the office of a newspaper company. But, if he tries to murder Gautam sir, his arrest will be legally valid."
"Did we take anything other than that Chaitanya's belongings from the office?"
"No, we were clearly instructed to only bring along his belongings."
"Then what about those two CPUs?"
"Those also belonged to Chaitanya. Three other computers were also brought...."
It seemed as if Chandra remembered something.
"What about those three computers?"
The two ran straight to the police station.
Chandra said, "Rohit, are the three computers that we seized, from Madhyam office, here?
Rohit- "Yes sir, here are these. Any problem, sir?"
Chandra- "Saurabh, unlock the passwords please."
After successfully unlocking those, Chandra started looking for the details of Chaitanya's plan. He opened Anubhav's computer. He, with the help of Saurabh, opened an encryted file where some important information was given.
Chait had planned to murder Gautam Dhar in Dhar's house itself. The date for execution of the plan is 13th March.
Soon, the other computers were also unlocked. It was finally revealed that Chaitanya's feelings were hurt because he used to pass all possible information about the opposition parties to Dhar but Dhar didn't bother to tell him about the source of funding of their party.
Rohit said, "Sir, this is too much. Just because his feelings were hurt, he is now going to murder him."
Chandra- "We have to stop him or else people will blame us for not performing our duty. (To Barun) Please call Gautam sir and tell this. Also, send a force for a search process in his house."
A police team, led by Rohit and another Inspector Samaddar, went and covered Gautam's house from all around.
That day evening, outside of Agartala Police Station.
Chandra- "Did they get anything?"
Barun- "No sir. They have got exhausted."
