Rohit worked in a private bank as a cashier. With the salary he got, he could cover his costs and help a little with taking care of their family. After entering the office he greeted everyone and got to his job. Inevitably, the Branch Manager (BM) of the bank called him. He immediately got up and entered BM's office.
" Rohit, in this month 8 of our clients have mentioned withdrawal of their Fixed Deposit. As you probably are aware, our branch doesn't have a lot of money and needs to demand hard cash from the Head Office in Pune. In the next 15 days, secured transport will show up here. Your job will be to deal with the money safely and take care of the individual client."
Rohit listened eagerly and gestured as he needed to take care of his job right to get paid.
After a touch of thought, he inquired.
" How much money will be conveyed, sir?"
"Our branch doesn't have much cash, so we'll be receiving 15 crore rupees from the Head Office in Pune," the Branch Manager informed Rohit.
" Yes sir."
Gears started turning in his mind as he walked out of the office. Hearing the amount, a thought sparked in his mind. He had finally found it...

If Rohit wants to live a lazy and comfortable life then he needs to ensure that no one knows about his hand in robbery.
First, he needed to find people to complete the work, a vehicle, and weapons.
Rohit generally overthinks things, prompting his cautious character. Overthinking additionally helped him keep his brain involved and stable. This habit kept him engaged in various things. He would constantly notice his environmental elements and individuals, little things, scrutinizing their way of behaving, and making his deductions. It kind of turned into his habit after reading thrillers, manipulation, mind control, human conduct-based novels, and anime.
The day, finished ordinarily in the bank and at home as well.
In Rohit's neighborhood, the day had ended as usual. His gully gang gathered at their customary spot for gossip. Keeping his intentions veiled, Rohit subtly extracted information about the best person for the job. He maintained secrecy, knowing that the success of the plan depended on keeping his identity hidden.
"If you're asking about the best and most experienced thief, it's Sanju," Sunny remarked during their casual banter.
After hearing all that Rohit gestured to himself. Others didn't believe that it was out of conduct. It was somewhat of a habit to keep informed about your area, the address of beautiful girls, the forbidden affairs of married wives, drug providers, small-time criminals, political figures, and so forth.
This might sound bad, but boys are just good at these kinds of things.
Hanuman Nagar, the area Rohit lived in, is a middle line between slums and developed areas, which people referred to as developing areas. So they had contacts with both riches and bitches.
After learning all he needed, Rohit headed to sleep, feigning slumber as his parents and the neighborhood settled into the quiet of the night. As they slept, Rohit woke up, the darkness of the night offering cover for his secret mission.
Wearing a joker mask and a dark coat, he ventured into the 'Mala', a place where the line between slums and the developing area was blurred. Here, he sought out Sanju to propose the biggest heist of their lives.
'Mala' was a place where most criminal people hung out during the night. A small black market would open at midnight allowing people to gamble, purchase drugs, and other activities. In the innermost perimeter of the black market, a bonfire would be lit every day. A meeting place for the criminals where they exchanged information, made deals, and chatted around.
Police didn't approach this place as they got their share every day. Also the dealing wasn't on a major level so they let it slide.
Rohit's life, once entangled in the tedious web of routine, underwent a transformative shift as he plunged headlong into the clandestine world of big bang robbery. The Mala, a notorious meeting ground for criminals, unfolded as the enigmatic backdrop for his rendezvous with Sanju, a seasoned thief renowned for his composed demeanor and cunning skills.
Cloaked in the shroud of darkness and donning a party mask to conceal his identity, Rohit strode purposefully toward the flickering bonfire where the underworld denizens gathered. Tension hung thick in the air as he sought out the figure he believed to be Sanju. The initial response, gruff and suspicious, sliced through the night air. "Who the hell are you?"
Unperturbed, Rohit stood his ground and proposed, "I am here to give you a chance to live a lavish life."
Sanju, initially bothered by the intrusion, shifted his stance as he sensed the gravity in Rohit's voice. "What is it?" he inquired, a glimmer of curiosity breaking through his tough exterior.
"Are you in for a big bang robbery?" Rohit's question resonated in the night, the bonfire casting shadows that danced in anticipation.
Sanju's eyes narrowed as he considered the proposition. The allure of a life beyond the ordinary sparked a glint in his eyes. "Tell me more," he replied. Curiosity now overcomes skepticism.
Rohit, fully committed to his daring endeavor, began to unravel the intricacies of the plan. The atmosphere crackled with suspense as he outlined each element, weaving a tale of calculated risk and potential reward. The flickering shadows played across his masked face, adding an air of mystery to the clandestine conversation.
"I work for the chairman of the D bank, and I've got access to everything. But I need someone with your skills to pull it off."
"So, you work for the chairman of the D bank, huh?" Sanju mused skepticism etched on his face even in the dim light. "What makes you think I'd want to partner for a bank job?"
"Don't you want to experience the life of the rich?" Rohit's words hung in the air like a tempting invitation. "With the money we'll get, a lavish life lies ahead. Imagine yourself being in your private villa surrounded by beautiful girls, and sports cars lined up in your garage. Money can buy anything, and it means everything!"
Sanju's gaze intensified, captivated by the vivid images painted by Rohit's words. The room seemed to shrink, closing in on the two figures engrossed in their thrilling conversation. The distant sounds of the night became a distant echo, drowned out by the promise of unimaginable wealth.
"You've never seen real power until you've had the world at your fingertips," Rohit continued, his voice a silky whisper. "We're not just robbing a bank; we're seizing control of our destinies. And with that money, we become kings of our own world."
The thrill of the proposition hung in the air, an intoxicating blend of greed and ambition. Sanju's eyes flickered with a mix of desire and contemplation. The room seemed charged with an unseen energy as if the very walls were pulsating with the possibilities that lay within their grasp.
"Beautiful girls, exotic locations, a life of opulence – it's all within reach," Rohit enticed, his tone weaving a web of temptation. "Money won't just buy us things; it'll buy us power, influence. We'll be untouchable."
As Rohit spoke, the surroundings seemed to transform into a clandestine sanctuary, a place where dreams merged with the dark allure of a life lived on the edge.
Sanju's gaze remained fixed on Rohit. A silent exchange of calculations passed between them. "Alright, spill the details. What's your plan?"
The plan unfolded like a thrilling plot, with Rohit's meticulous attention to detail captivating Sanju's interest. They discussed logistics-finding the right crew, securing a vehicle, and obtaining weapons. Rohit, an overthinker by nature, utilized his careful character to his advantage, considering every possible scenario and minimizing risks.
As the plan took shape, Rohit couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Hahaha... have I finally lost it?" The weight of the plan, the thrill of the unknown, and the potential consequences danced in his imagination.
In the heart of 'Mala,' two individuals from contrasting worlds find themselves bound by the prospect of a daring heist. Rohit's ordinary life collides with the thrilling underworld, setting the stage for a tale of suspense, calculated risks, and the promise of a life beyond the ordinary.
The bonfire continued to flicker, casting shadows that danced with the secrets of the night. The stage was set for a thrilling heist that would either catapult them into a life of luxury or plunge them into the depths of danger. The countdown to the big bang robbery had begun, and Rohit found himself on the precipice of a life-altering adventure, where every move could be the difference between triumph and catastrophe.

Regions were separated among police officers for simple control and management. The 'Mala' went under the officers of the Slum Region, who approached pay-offs for letting the black market. Still, the police exercised their control over some major matters. The balance between them was delicate.
