14th August, 2020, 11pm, Agartala Police Station.
Chandra- "Are you all ready?"
Everyone- "Yes sir."
"Tonight is going to be very important for us. We had already discussed with you all about the security plan that had you all dispersed from Gautam Dhar's house to his farmhouse on the outskirts of the city. We shouldn't miss this at any cost. We have to safeguard Gautam Ji at any cost. Do you all get it?"
"Yes sir."
"Ok, disperse."
15th August 2020, 12:45am, Gautam Dhar's house.
Everything was ready. Gautam Dhar and Chandra entered the taxi. Due to uneven seat in the taxi, Dhar's secretary sat in a police jeep, which had its siren off at that time.
And, the journey began.
Chandra asked the taxi driver, "Where's your rearview mirror? "
"Sahab, it broke due to an accident."
"Will it not cause any difficulty?"
"No problem, Sahab."
One police jeep was moving at a distance and in front of the taxi while another was moving behind.
They all were moving through the roads of Agartala towards the outskirts of the city. Suddenly, the jeep behind got one of its tyre punctured. The jeep in front of the taxi moved with pace, not knowing what had happened behind.
Chandra stopped the taxi and asked loudly, "Is there any problem?"
"Tyre got punctured!"
"Should we wait?"
"Ask Gautam Sir."
Gautam said, "We can't wait here. We should move fast and tell them to clear the problem as soon as possible."
The taxi was now moving all alone on the road. Gautam asked Chandra,"You both are wearing masks. Can I open my one? It's very suffocating."
"It's ok, sir."
Gautam removed his mask and sat comfortably. Gradually, he was in deep sleep.
The taxi driver asked, "Chandra sir, can I switch on the music player?"
"Ok. We shouldn't sleep tonight. But, keep the low volume."
The player started.
The patriotic song Sare Jahan Se Achha was playing in it. Chandra looked outside and felt the song with utmost feelings of love towards his nation.
At that time, someone else inside the car made the anesthetic gas leak. Chandra and the driver, having tightly masked, couldn't sense it.
Gautam got unconscious and got his face covered with a handkerchief. A knife passed through his stomach softly and came out.
That was his game-over moment but with utmost silence.
His bleeding stomach was covered with the black coloured stole he brought with him.
Checkmate!
It was a masterstroke.
After sometime, the taxi driver asked, "Sir, I need some food for the ongoing journey. One of my relatives stay here. Can you wait for me to bring the food?"
"It's ok, mister. Just go and have it but please, try to do it fast."
He turned and saw Gautam sir to be in deep sleep.
They parked the car and Chandra came out for some fresh air to breathe in. The taxi driver entered his relative's house and brought the food.
Amidst this, one of the doors of the car opened slightly and closed with almost no sound.
After coming back, Chandra was shocked.
He saw the whole car filled with blood and a letter beside Gautam Dhar's dead body.
He opened the door and took out the letter.
He read- "That was all what I wanted to do. You all thought that your tight security can safeguard this notorious man from my clutches. Nay!
I had sacrified so many days and months and years just to give this man a lesson, uncle.
I am Chaitanya, the proud son of your elder brother. Yes, my father was your brother, who sacrificed his life for no reason. This man, Gautam Dhar, had my father as his special spy. He used my father, an investigating agent by profession, to get information about his opposition parties. Dad, getting scared, had to do it. He, while searching all this, got to know about the Mafia from whom Dhar got the funding, of his party, done. Before Dhar's men could see Dad spying them, he ran from there. Dad had told his three best friends about all these. One day, when these three friends were coming to visit Dad, they saw Dhar and his team in his house. They hid, started recording the video while getting to know that Gautam Dhar had got to know about all these. Those three friends saw my Dad getting killed by Dhar's men. They couldn't do anything but they thought that Dad might have told their names too to Gautam. So, they left Agartala, fled to a new place and disguised under new names. They, along with Mom, wanted to move to the court but didn't because of the political pressure that they might need to face. I was brought back from my hostel. Mom asked me to take revenge. After completing Class 10, I came here to finally take the revenge from Dhar.
Today, I am proud of myself but I also feel sorry for you and your team. Maybe I shouldn't have taken revenge by killing Dhar but, you know, sometimes, we have to do what we don't want to. So, did I do here. Thank you, uncle. We may not meet ever in our lifetime but I'll definitely remember my journey here and your efforts to stop my actions. Good Bye."
