Manish looked at his subordinates in anger.
He ordered them to scare 'Payal' not to assassinate her. If he kills her using a person wearing an 'airforce' uniform, It will be against the law no matter how they spin it. He did not want to be remembered as the man who committed treason. It is one thing to receive financial benefits, it's entirely another to sell out your country.
However, he has no option now.
Since this already occurred, he had no choice but to put everything on Payal, and blame her for the foreign intrusion.
As soon as he received the information that Akhil stabbed Payal, he sent up a proposal to the prime minister, requesting for dismissal of Payal, and accusing her of treason. He did not forget to accuse Vikram of being a mercenary and having anti-government sentiment.
