The results of spying from Anil and his mother are not going to arrive any time soon.
That much, Vikram knew.
So, he went to the one source he is absolutely sure will know all the details about this particular incident.
That is, Akhil.
Akhil was an adult, and on top of that, had a pretty good success rate in any thing he wished to do except for when he met Vikram.
In school, they did not see eye to eye, at work, they again do not see eye to eye.
However, examining his memories, Vikram was sure that the moment Akhil held absolute hatred for him was from the time he aced the military deployment on the first day of the breakout.
That made him a rising star, while Akhil himself remained a nobody. However, common sense is more than enough to tell you murder is not the solution to such a problem.
Yet, Akhil tried to murder him. What does that mean ? If Vikram dies, there was a way for Akhil to reap the benefits.
