"I am retiring tomorrow." "Over the past few weeks, many people have asked me that Mr. Prakash Rathod police commissioner of Mumbai that which was the most challenging and interesting case of your life." "I evaded this question." "Every time... but every time I remembered only one case." "This case is not registered in any file anywhere." "There is no record anywhere." "But it is in my mind and in the minds of some people who were involved in this case unwillingly." "That bastard." "That bastard just had guts to walk into our lives and blow it apart." "It was a Wednesday." "Hello!" "Where are you going?" "To file a FIR." "To the right." "Room number 3." "Who hit you?" " My wife." "I wanted to file an FIR." " Then what is there to be embarrassed about?" "How?" " With a cooker." "I want to file a complaint." "Wait for a while." "I will call you." "Have a seat." "Why did she hit you?" "The problem was... that..." "Come on." "Speak up." "There are other people waiting." "I just told her that there was more salt in the food." "She just flared up." "There was a cooker to her right." "She picked it and hit me on my left side." "Sir please... just warn her once." "She keeps hitting me." "You should never ever say such things to your wife." "Go home and say sorry." "Or else instead of salt she will put something else in your food." "Did you understand?" "Don't take it too seriously." "Go on." "Sir, but file a report at least..." " Get lost!" "Hey mister, hello..." "Mr. Jammu Kashmir please come." "What happened?" " I lost my wallet." "How?" "What do you mean by how?" "How do things get lost?" "I mean, where was it lost?" " I don't remember." "When I checked it wasn't with me." "What were its contents?" "A photograph of my wife, driving license." "PAN card." "Easy, easy." "Sorry." "PAN card, ATM card, and credit card." "There was a railway pass." "Some cash." "My wife's photograph." "You have already said that." " What?" "You have already told me about your wife's photograph." "How much cash was in it?" " Around 300-350 rupees." "Where is the washroom?" " What's your name and address?" "Rajesh Kumar Sharma." "301, Manasarovar Society." "S.V. Road, Borivali (west)." "What's your telephone number?" " 9832465784." "Take this." "Call up tomorrow and enquire." "The washroom is to the right over there." "Thank you." "Sir, it's always a number from Karachi that flashes on my mobile." "Initially, he used to address me as brother, sir or boss." "He said his name was Imtiaz." "He said he watches my films many times and that he was a great fan of mine." "Then he called today and asked me to pay up 25 lakh rupees." "Said it was an emergency." "Mr. Arjun Khanna, what exactly did he say?" "Hello!" "Idiot, Why aren't you signing Desai's film?" "He is my special friend." "If I don't get any good news by noon today." "I will pack - up your shooting forever." "And keep 25 lakh rupees on hand." "I will call you up later and tell you whom to give it to 25 lakhs!" "And why the hell do you delay so much in taking the call?" "Make sure that you pick it up within two rings the next time." "Hello?" " Just checking.' Hang up now." "Where is Jai?" "You know that I don't like your traveling in the train with the baby" "If I go by road I will reach tomorrow." "Why do you go to your mom's place so often?" "This is the first time I am going since she was born." "But she'd come to our house just last week." " So?" "She was also there the week before that." " So?" "This should stop..." "Or else the sub-inspector in your mom's area is a good friend of mine." "Why are you so scared of my mom?" "Am not scared." "Just jealous of her that she spends so much more time with both of you, than I do." "Ok I will take your leave." "Bye." "Take care." "Bye." "Call me up." " Yes, I will call up on reaching there." "Okay bye." " Bye." "See you." "Take care." "Just 20 rupees!" "Where is your pollution certificate?" "Where is your license?" "Look you don't have license with you." "Now come on, give me Rs. 500." "Come on sir, take it." "Keep it." "Hello sir." "What are you doing?" "Sir, I have stopped asking." "But they keep bribing me willingly." "Ask him..." "Wasn't I telling you not to give me anything?" "Sir, what can I do if they give it with so much love?" "Too much of such love has made you plump." "And you still want some more." " Sorry sir." "How much did you take?" " 20 rupees!" "Give it back!" " Take it." "Give him 20 more." " What?" "You should also share your love with others." " Okay sir." "Did you just give me money?" "Father was right and I was wrong." "Times have changed." "The New Age is here" " All right, go on." "This is good!" "This is good!" "This is good!" "This is good!" "Ready to move in!" "Three!" "Two!" "One!" "Go!" "Thank you, Deepak." "This is the same electric pole to which a man had been stuck to for 15 minutes and still survived." "Yes." "Shambu fell down in this pothole while returning from work last evening." "Because of this live wire he got stuck to this pole." "And it is a miracle that he is still alive after suffering from electric shocks ...of such high voltage for 15 mins." "Consecutively." "So let's talk to Shambu who's been through this." "Mr. Shambu, how do you feel?" "I feel good." "Tell our viewers how did you feel when such high voltage shocks were passing through your body?" "Call for technical snag in ten seconds." "Naina, repeat the question." "Tell us how did you feel when high voltage shocks were passing through you?" "Great!" "I felt very good." "Now people call you 'The Electric man'." "How does that feel?" "Very good." " Cut it!" "What is it, now?" "We'll do it again in five minutes!" "Give him something to say." "He seems to like everything." "He gets drunk and falls down." "The other day we both drank together and we both fell together in the gutter but nobody cared then." "Now look at him, he has become famous." "Get me out of here." "They beat me up everyday." "Two guys came in my cell yesterday and beat me all over." "You'd said I would be okay if I turned Informer." "But look what happened?" "I was put to rot in here and you were transferred to the ATS." "Arif, either get me out of this place or kill me." "But don't leave me here." "My family is threatened everyday." "The constable who is supposed to protect my family harasses my sister." "I have heard that you are going to get transferred somewhere else?" "I heard it too." "If the department doesn't care about you why will it care for me?" "Can I get a cup of tea?" " Right away sir." "You want to go to the hospital?" " Sure." "Stay there for some days." "I will take care of the rest." "You trust me, don't you?" " I have only you to trust." "Thank you, brother." "Who is on duty at your house?" " Badge number 1275." "Sir, I feel that I am being targeted because I belong to the minority group." "Minority!" "Mr. Ajay Khanna, how can you belong to a minority group?" "The Khan's are in majority in our film industry." "It's just Mr. Amitabh, Abhishek and I on the other side." "That's true." "Sir." "Mr. Khanna, this is sub-inspector Jai Singh." "He will handle your case." "Be rest assured, we will crack this soon." "Sir, I just hope nothing will happen to me." "C'mon!" "You are a hero." "Does anything ever happen to our heroes in our films?" "Sometimes it does." "Just in case anything happens to you then I assure you that we will not spare them." "Sir, what are you?" "Relax!" "Go to work." "Nothing will happen to you." "Thank you sir." "Thank you very much." " It is okay." "My brother." "My brother." "Thank you!" "Thank you." "Thank you, sir." " Yeah, mention not." "These are our heroes." "One phone call and he gets a stomach ache" "Some kids from Shanti nagar are playing a prank on him." "Patwardhan knows them." "Ask him to stop them or else he will be wasting our time needlessly." "Right sir." "Shambu, who is responsible for this incident?" "I feel they did a good job by putting up an electric pole." "But they should not have dug this hole." "The government should think twice before digging that a common man like me can fall into this pothole." "Look around!" "Today there are potholes everywhere." "I mean are there potholes in the city or this city is in potholes?" "This government should take responsibility for these potholes." "So what do you feel?" "Why does the government do such things?" "The government likes to dig." "So this was Mr. Shambu a.k.a. Electric man who has given Death itself a very big shock." "This is Naina Roy with cameraman Raj for UTV news." "Sir... sir, why are you hitting me?" "Sir, why are you hitting me?" "Yes, tell me!" " Don't get annoyed but I just found out that I don't have some ingredients to make the rice pudding." "You know very well Ishaan loves rice pudding." "While coming home bring some almonds, raisins..." "All right I will bring all those things." "Don't forget to buy those tomatoes." " No I won't." "I am sorry." "Are you angry with me?" "Just a bit." "But then, I have the whole city to vent it out." "When will you come back?" " Around 7 o'clock." "Come back and we'll talk." " Yes." "The government should think twice before digging that a common man like me can fall into this pothole." "Look around!" "Today there are potholes everywhere." "I mean are there potholes in the city or this city is in potholes?" "This government should take responsibility for these potholes." "Sir, please forgive me." "Hello." " Is it Commissioner Prakash Rathod?" "Who's this?" "Mr. Rathod, don't interrupt and just listen." "I have planted bombs at 5 different locations in the city." "All these bombs will explode at 6.30 pm." "But this can be avoided." "I will call you up 30 minutes later with my demands and I want to talk or negotiate with only one person." "Until then you can decide on that person." "Hello!" "Find out who had called on my mobile just a while back." "Jai, where is the chief minister?" "Hello." " Miss Naina Roy?" "Yes, who is this?" "It doesn't matter." "I just wanted to ask you whether you are interested in some serious news." "What?" "Is this some kind..." " Just answer me Naina." "This is big." "Are you interested?" "Yes or no?" "Yes." " Then come to the Mumbai Police headquarters with your cameraman." "This is going to be the most important day in your life." "I will call you again." "Raj!" "I know this is an unknown number." "Keep trying." "I want to know that number within 5 minutes." "And ask Khatri to tap my mobile phone immediately." "Okay." "Yes Tiwari, I am putting him on the line." "Right away." "Sir, it's Tiwari." "Mr. Tiwari!" " Yes, Mr. Prakash, tell me." "Where is the CM?" "He is in Bandra to attend an important meeting." "Put Mr. Patil on the line." "Mr. Patil is also in a meeting." "Tell me, what is the matter?" "It is a very minor thing." "I cannot bother you with it." "Put Patil on the line." "Sir, I hope you understood." "Sir, he wants to talk to you." "Excuse me." " Okay." "Yes, Mr. Prakash." "I don't know how but come to my office within 15 minutes." "But..." " Within 15 minutes." "It's an emergency." "Jai, tell Chouhan, Ramesh and Aakash to come into the WAR Room." "Right sir." "Sir." "It is a prepaid mobile number." "It is registered to one Jignesh Sheth." "He lives in Malad." "I have informed Malad police station." "This number is unreachable right now." " Okay." "Attention guys!" "This matter should not get out of this room." "Does anyone of you want to call anybody or warn anyone?" "No sir!" "We have just 4 hours left." "Chouhan, talk to Abbas at intelligence and find out what they have." "Tell them you need this information for verification." "Yes sir!" "Vatkar, find out from our sources whether there has been any movement in any terrorist module." "Get me any information on explosives being taken in and out of the city." "Get in touch with your informers." "Right sir." "Aakash, we need to trace the call the next time." "Put your best men on the job." "Yes sir!" "Mr. Rathod, how are you?" " I am fine." "And you?" "Fine." "Tell me." "Just a while back I received a call on my cell phone." "One man..." "Oh god." "Excuse me." "It could also be a crank call." "We can't take any chances." "Where is the CM?" "He is on his way." "Hello!" "Yes, Mr. Rathod." "Who is going to talk to me?" "Mr. Roy." "He will be here soon." "Until then you can talk to me." "I will only talk to the person who has the authority to take decisions." "I will call you again in five minutes." "By the way let me remind you that you are wasting your own time." "Take my advice." "You shouldn't buy time on this." "Too short to trace." "But this is not the same number as the previous one." "Excuse me sir." "There was a call from Malad police station." "Nobody named Jignesh Sheth lives at that address." "Do one thing, tell Solanki to alert all the police stations." "Sir, the CM is on the line." "Good afternoon, sir." " Good afternoon." "Who is this Roy?" " Nobody." "Who is negotiating with him from our side?" "Sir, you will." "We will patch his call to you from here." "Why?" " Because you have the authority and you know how to negotiate." "There is a lot of difference between giving a Speech and Negotiating." "This is not a political rally." "What about Patil or Tiwari?" "Oh my God!" "Prakash, I have never seen you running away from responsibility." "There is a reason for it." "If this man is telling the truth then to stop him we require a person with unlimited authority." "There shouldn't be any red tape or protocol." "He would need absolute and complete freedom." "He should not be questioned about anything." "And I know that this is not possible and that's why I was running away from responsibility Sir." "Patil, this operation will be headed by Prakash Rathod." "I don't want any complaints from him." "Do you understand?" "I'll be there soon." "Yes, sir." "Should we inform the center?" "This is our problem and we have to solve it." " Okay sir." "Come on guys, back to work, everyone." "Excuse me." " Yeah." "Hello." " Mr. Rathod?" "Mr. Roy won't be here." "I will negotiate instead of him." "How can he come there if he doesn't exist?" "What do you want?" "Ibrahim Khan, lqlak Ahmed, Mohammed Zaheer and Khursheed Lala." "Who are these guys?" "You yourself had caught two of them." "And the ATS got the other two." "I hope it is not difficult." "Why would it be?" "We are used to it." "First we put our lives at stake and catch them and then when we get a phone call and we set them free." "You will do the same thing today." "They all are in different places right now." "I'll call you in an hour." "Till then it is yourjob to get them together at one place." "On whose behalf are you doing this?" "What is the name of your organization?" "Do you suspect that this is a crank call?" "I do." "Mr. Rathod, you must know by now that Jignesh Sheth had died in the last bomb blast." "The next number belonged to Sanjay Singh who had died three months back." "The current number that you will trace belongs to Shabbir Ahmed who has also died a long way back." "Any Tom, Dick and Harry can do this." "Yes I agree." "But any Tom, Dick and Harry cannot blow away the police station which is just opposite your Police headquarters." "What do you mean?" "It means I have also planted a bomb in the police station opposite your headquarters just to prove my seriousness and your helplessness." "You have 20 minutes to find it." "So go find it." "Or else an hour later I may have to talk to someone else." "Mr. Prakash, can we go out for half an hour." "Jai!" " Yes sir!" "Are you afraid?" " No sir." "Are you married?" " Two years ago." "Do you have a kid?" " I have a 3-month-old daughter." "What happens if you die?" " I don't care." "I want that bomb found within ten minutes." " You'll get it, sir." "Give me your radio." " Sir." "Hello." " Naina Roy, someone has planted a bomb in the police station opposite the headquarters." "I thought you'd be interested." " Oh God!" "Relax guys!" "This man wants us to find the bomb." "He wants us to take him seriously." "He wants us to find it." "We just have one hour." "I don't want to talk to this man again." "Sir, Chouhan is on the line." "Chouhan, tell me." "Sir, the intelligence has no information about this." "That's consistent." "Chouhan, step up security at airports, rail stations and bus depots." "Search everything and everyone." "Send them in batches of 4 to the multiplexes as well." "I want you to cover up as much ground as possible." "If someone asks tell them it is just a police drill or tell them it's the CM's orders." "Get on it now!" "All units alert, sir." "Deshmukh, where is my bomb squad?" "Aakash, call up Arif." "I want him here a." "S. A. P." "And I want an update on Ibrahim Khan, lqlak Ahmed Mohammad Zaheer and Khursheed Lala." "You've got ten minutes." " Yes sir." "Then send them here!" "Bomb squad!" "Come in!" "Bomb squad!" "Come in!" "Has nobody seen Baburao?" "Yeah Mhatre, come in." "Copy that." "What is it?" " Sir, it is RDX." "Come here!" "A bomb was placed right under nose!" "What the hell were you doing?" "Who is the shift in-charge?" "Sir, there was a shift change just half an hour ago." "I don't know anything." "Find him in 5 minutes and send him to me." " Okay sir." "Sir!" "We have located the bomb." "It is RDX." "He had planned to trigger it with a cell phone." "Good." "Sir, please come this way." "I have solid information." "There has been a pull-up from the underworld." "He had supplied 6 kgs of RDX couple of days back." "He has not started talking yet." "On threatening him he said he has taken his painkillers already just this morning." " That's a new one." "Sir, I don't know anything!" "Did I ask you anything?" "Did I ask you anything?" "Did I ask you anything?" "Did I ask you anything?" "Did I ask you anything?" "Did I ask you anything?" "Nobody has confirmed this information but suddenly there is a lot of activity in the police station." "You can see the bomb squad and the sniffer dogs here." "They have just come out." "But we have been denied any information about it." "We would like to inform our viewers once again that we had received information about the bomb via a telephone call." "Seems that the bomb has been found and diffused." "We have not received any confirmation yet." "But we will keep trying." "From Mumbai this is Naina Roy with cameraman Raj for UTV news." " Over." "I want the forensic report immediately in the WAR room." "Sir!" " Okay sir." "Thank you." "Mhatre come in." "Copy." "Sir, the Psycho has arrived." "Someone's going to die today." "Hello." " Are you busy?" "Yes." "Not really." "We have reached here safely." "How is mom?" " She is fine." "Give it to me." "What is the matter?" "Are you worried about something?" "Not at all." " I'll call you before leaving." "Okay." "Take care." "Bye." "There was no direct contact with me." "I only gave the delivery." "I got a message to deliver that bag to Rafiq." "He was Rafiq's customer." "I asked Rafiq who he was." "He said, your place is behind and asked me to shut up." "Where can I find Rafiq?" "Sir, I don't know." "If I had known I would tell you." "Believe me." "Sir, I would..." "Bohri Market. 4th Lane." "Where are you these days?" "I am with the ATS." "You got me transferred." "Yes." "Arif, I want that man and the information that he has." "Vatkar will tell you where to find him." "Don't kill him." "I just need the information." "Okay sir." " Okay." "Yes." " Sir, the bomb has been diffused." "Who was on duty?" " Prashant." "Tell him to go home." "He will receive his termination letter tomorrow." "Tell Kailash to take over." "The media is here." "UTV news." "Bring them upstairs." " Right sir." "Ibrahim Khan." "He has links with the Al-Qaeda." "He was head-of-operations in India since 92." "This is his designation on their website." "He has started 45 madrasas in the country where little kids are taught the meaning of Jihad." "On his capture they will be weakened and if he is set free then they will be completely rejuvenated." "This is their second attempt to free him." "He is extremely dangerous." "Lqlak Ahmed." "Al Qaeda again." "Right hand of Ibrahim Khan." "He is a former ISI agent." "The theory is that when you nabbed him he wanted to get caught." "So that it would be easy to free Ibrahim Khan." "He was directly or indirectly involved in all the terrorists attacks in India in the last three years." "He is equally dangerous if not more." "Mohammad Zaheer." "He is the number 2 agent of Laskar in India." "He is a former ISI as well as former Al Qaeda member." "He was a software engineer." "Due to systematic brainwashing he went to Pakistan." "From there he went to Afghanistan." "He acquired his training over there." "He has designed a lot of websites for them." "Very basic but very effective." "It registered record number of hits the day it launched." "He is in our C-Zone hospital since last week." "He complained of chest pains." "Khursheed Lala." "He is an arms pimp." "He is not connected to just one organization but with all of them." "If you need arms and explosives then this is your Guy." "He will supply any quantity you want." "No matter if it is 1993 or 2006." "Lala is behind the bars or free." "He doesn't leave a trail." "Sir, you may remember that even when you arrested him we only found a blue-print of the Mumbai city and a revolver on him." "Very soon he will be out on bail." "Sir, Here is a speculation." "Look at this." "We don't know his name but he is everywhere." "He has succeeded to remain out of sight." "Our intelligence agencies have no information about him." "There are only rumours." "Some say he is their CEO and others say he is the chief strategist." "Sir, he is one among the crowd." "Even his wife doesn't know what he really does." "This man could be behind this call." "He may belong to Laskar, Al Qaeda or some other outfit." "We don't know whether he is in the country or not." "There must be a couple of people with him in this operation." "They have already targeted the stock exchange buses and local trains." "I suspect this time they will go a step further." "That they have come so close to the police headquarters has business written all over it." "Aakash, this man is in the city." "We have to catch him." "Sir, what should we do about the other four?" "We are always two steps behind them and if they are freed..." "Let them be where they are." "It doesn't make any sense to free Lala now he is going to get free as is." "And by doing this Lala will be regarded a certified terrorist." "Maybe they need Lala right now." "Maybe." "Uncle!" "Three tea." "Hey, send money to me." "When did you receive the first call?" "Ok Alright then you and your cameraman will remain in custody until you come out with the truth." "He called up at around 2 pm and he asked me to come here." "He also said that this would be the most important day of my life." "He is using you." "He is watching our situation and our panic Live on TV." "You are his bloody eyes." "Sir, he is around 50." "Tall man." "Wears a spectacle." "He looks like a clerk." "There is an under construction building in Malad west behind Pritam nagar." "Om constructions." "I had delivered the goods on the 12th floor." "Vatkar!" " Yes sir." " Take him away." "Hello." "Sir, this is Arif." "Yes I got it." "There is an under construction building in Malad." "Patkar is bringing Rafiq to the headquarters." "Should I send Jai?" " There's no need." "I will nab him and get him to speak to you." "What was your name again?" "Naina." "Naina, I want you to do me a favour." "Sir, until you don't tell me everything I can't help you." "Okay." "Come here." "This matter should be only between you and me." "Three." "Two." "One." "Go." "We have just received information that four terrorists whose names are Ibrahim Khan lqlak Ahmed, Mohammad Zaheer and Khursheed Lala are being shifted to some other location." "The police says it is because of security reasons." "Right now we have Senior Inspector Jai Singh who will give us full information about this matter." "What is the reason behind shifting these four to some other location?" "There are some security reasons." "We have orders to do so." "But why such an order?" "We have received orders to do so." "Can you tell us whether there is any threat to them and from whom?" "It is because of some security reasons that we have received orders to shift them" "As you can see, the police is not giving us any further information." "And they are evading our questions by calling it a security reason." "From Mumbai this is Naina Roy with cameraman Raj for UTV news." "Cut it!" "Sir, please don't do this again." "My wife watches these news channels." "That was good Jai." "Thank you Naina." "Once again India approached America with regards to Pakistan issue." "The government is spending crores of rupees to save but due to legal reasons, they are..." "Now, for the latest news let's move to our correspondent Naina Roy..." "What is the reason behind shifting these four to some other location?" "There are some security reasons." "We have orders to do so." "But why such an order?" "We have received orders to do so." "Arif, tell me." "Sir, there is nobody here." "But he wanted us to come here." "There are tags of 'Do not disturb' in here." "Come back." " Yes sir." "Jai" " Yes sir." "We have to shift these four terrorists to a single location." "Start the process." " Sir." "Mr. Rathod, Time is running out." "How much longer are we going to hide this from the public?" "What should we tell the public?" "We have no other choice than to catch him." "He is regularly monitoring us through Naina Roy." "If we sound an alert then he will know..." "Hello!" " Hello." " Yes tell me." "Sir, this is Sapna from HDFC Bank's credit card division." "We are issuing you a credit card for free." "We have a new scheme which benefits you with personal loan, housing loan..." "I am not interested." "Don't ever call me." "If you don't want it then say so." "Why are you getting rude Sir?" "Hello." " Thank you very much." "It's all right." "What else do you need?" "Money!" "Private plane!" "What else?" "No thanks." "I can arrange for those things." "Just put these four men in a van and bring them to me." "There is new strip on runway number 4 at the Juhu Aviation Base." "It is not operational for use yet." "I want these men brought there at exactly 5 o'clock." "Only two officers should accompany them." "Both should carry cell phones with loudspeaker facility." "Because I will need confirmation that they are okay." "I should also tell you that this area is already rigged so no snipers, no commandoes and no surprises please." "No funny business." "I want to know something." "Ask away." "You and your organization are under what misconception?" "You are always hiding from the police." "Why don't you come in the open and finish this matter once and for all?" "Mr. Rathod, we are cowards." "Are you happy now?" "Don't waste your time in trying to get me aggravated." "There is a face behind every voice." "I don't have a face." "That's what you think." " No!" "I know it." "What is the guarantee that you will tell me the location of the bombs?" "Guarantee!" "Do you think I am selling you a product?" "No." "If I had thought so I would not ask you this question." "Thousands of lives are at stake." "Do you have any other choice than to trust me?" "I will call you again at 5." "Aakash, tell me." "We have a multiple trace." "Mulund, Santacruz, Karachi, Singapore and South Africa." "This is unique." "The call is bounced off and manipulated without being disconnected from different sim cards and landlines of different locations." "The number switches to another every minute." "This is only possible if you route your phone through a system." "Whoever is doing this is a very trained man" "So you can't trace him?" "Sir, to do this we need some other kind of an expert." "For example." " We need a hacker." "Then get one." "Check the booking list of Juhu Aviation." "Find which private plane has been booked and for whom." "Yes, sir." " Sir, there is a sub-inspector outside." "He has seen the man." "Sir, I remember very well." "He had a black bag with him." "He had come to file a report about his missing wallet." "What were you doing there?" "Sir, there was so much security what else could I do?" "This is his number and address." "I had tried his number." "Am getting a, 'does not exist' message." "I have asked the Borivali police to verify the address." "This is not his address." "He is not such a fool." "Take him to a sketch artist." "Make his sketch and show him." "Where is Rafiq?" " He is in Room number 12." "Show the sketch to Rafiq and verify it." " Right sir." "Hello." "I want you to go to the main gate of Juhu Aviation at exactly 5 o'clock." " No." "Excuse me!" "I didn't hear that." "You are using me." "If you are not interested then you should've told me before." "There is no dearth of people like you." "I am indirectly helping you." "I am being party to some..." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Don't flatter yourself, Naina." "If in a cricket match between India and Pakistan India loses then nobody blames the sports channels." "This is not a cricket match!" "Yes or no!" "I have a dozen phone numbers with me." "There are a lot of news hungry people out there." "Yes or no!" "Yes." "Good." "Be at the main gate of Juhu Aviation at 5 o'clock." "Prakash, what is the plan of action?" "People are on it." "But until we don't have a break through we have to do what he says." "This is ridiculous!" "Law and order has become a mere bystander." "Prakash, why aren't we able to do anything about it?" "We have such a big force, we have the intelligence bureau we have RAW and the ATS." "Why do we always become so helpless?" "We can't involve the media or sound an alert." "I just can't believe this." "We have become just useless." "Sir, we are doing our best." "But your best isn't good enough." "I think we should call in the army and the..." "They won't be of any help." "Sir!" " Tell me." "I have heard that man." "I think what Mr. Prakash is doing is right." "Instead of questioning his decisions it would be better if we help him." "And he is competent to deal with this crisis." "Which two officers are going to accompany them?" "Arif Khan and Jai Singh." "Prakash, you have senior experienced officers and you are..." "You have Solanki..." " Please trust me." "Prakash, there should not be any bomb blasts in Mumbai today." "There won't be any bomb blasts." "I don't want to hand over the four men to him." "That I will try." "Excuse me." "Yes, tell me." "Ok." "Sir, the Borivali address is wrong." "There is no such building with that name." "Where is Arif?" " He is at the armory." "Whose face did you first see when you woke up?" "My own." "I am not surprised." "Are you ready?" " Yes sir!" "From here you will go directly to TS Mills." "The four men will be handed over to you over there." "The Special Task Force is picking them up from their current locations." "Here are the transfer orders." "Ibrahim Khan." " Let's go." "He will make a conference call." "There is a loudspeaker facility in this phone." "You can listen to our conversation." "There are three routes to reach Juhu Aviation." "You will take the quickest one which is by the highway." "There will also be driver who will drop all of you there." " Yes sir!" "I don't think they will make a rescue attempt." "Neither do I think they will risk a public shootout." "There is a danger to their lives in doing it." "This is not a pre-planned operation." "It's an extempore!" "So, that's it guys." "Just keep your cool." "All the best." "And come over to my place in the evening." "We'll have a drink together." "Sir!" " Okay." "Jai!" " Sir." "After everything is over maybe you have to do something... about Arif." "You know what I mean." "Understood sir." "Who is this kid?" "Sir, his name is Anuj." "He is a hacker." "He helps us very often to crack cyber crimes." "Is he that qualified?" "He is a college drop out but..." " Anuj!" "Do you understand what this equipment and this setup is all about?" "No sir." "All this equipment is outdated." "You are still using NCC 3423 models while the S-series has been launched three months back." "I need some time." "Can you handle it?" "Hey babe!" "Yeah, I am running a little late honey!" "Will catch you in half an hour!" "Okay." "Love you." "See you." "Women!" "Sorry, what were you saying?" "Can you handle the job?" "Definitely." "I am a drop out by choice." "Hello." " Okay sir." "Yes sir." "Get in touch with Chouhan." "Send this sketch to every police station and every agency by fax or email." "Next check our records." "And then get in touch with the Interpol and the FBI." "I want any information on this man." "Yes sir." " Babu, wait here for the verification." "Sir." " What is the status?" "We are on schedule." "Any problem?" " Not at all, sir." "Call me up when you reach there." " Yes sir." "What is your name?" " I don't need to tell you." "You are right." "My friend!" " What?" "What do you think is happening to us?" "Ibrahim bhai, looking at their scared faces I feel we are going to get freed." "And I also think..." "Fire!" "It reminds me of my youth." "I was also like you." "Too stubborn to be afraid of death." "I was six years old when my father got into an enmity with a few men." "These men kidnapped me from the school." "They asked for a ransom in exchange of my life." "My father paid the ransom." "But they were still greedy." "They beat me up." "I was almost dead." "When they got tired they tied a rope to my leg and hung me on a tree." "I called out to them." "One of them looked back." "I screamed that if you have to then at least hang me to a mango tree." "He started to laugh." "He got me down patted me on my head and sent me home." "I lived." "Four years later I killed them by hanging them to the same tree." "Can we kill this guy right here?" "Yes!" "We are on our way." " Where are you?" "At the railway station and about to the catch the train." "I don't know why but there is too much checking at the stations." "It's just a drill." "How is Kajal?" "Kajal is asleep." "Where are you?" " I am outdoors." "We will reach home before you." "Okay." " I will hang up now." "Anu..." " I love you too." "I will call you when I get home." "Okay?" "Bye." "Bye." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Arif..." " Yes sir." "Sir, we are there." "Stay put." "I will call back." "Stand properly." "Hello." " Mr. Rathod." "Did they reach there?" "Yes." "I would like to speak to them." "What is the name of your officer?" " Arif Khan." "What happened?" " Nothing." "Hello." " Arif, put the phone off loudspeaker mode someone wants to speak to you." " Yes sir." "Arif is on the line." "Speak to him." "Arif, I want to speak to my friends." "They are listening." "Speak up." "Greetings Mr. Khan." " Greetings to you." "Are you safe?" " Yes I am." "I have been ordered to find out you guys are real and not imposters." "And to find if the police has not hatched a conspiracy to fool us." "That's why you will tell me your name and your initials one by one." "No need to go into the details." "Just a hint will do." "Ibrahim Khan." "Mumbai 93." "I am proud." "Lqlak Ahmed." "Gujarat 2002." "I am proud." "Mohammad Zaheer." "Mumbai 2006." "I am proud." "Khursheed Lala. 92 to 2006." "I am proud." "Your initials are indeed wonderful." "Arif, put the phone on handset mode and give it to Khan." "Hello." " Mr. Khan, did they give you any injection or did they make you eat anything?" "No." "Just that we are handcuffed." "They will be unlocked soon." "Give the phone back to the officer." "Speak up." " Arif, there are two benches ahead of you." "You will leave my four men over there." "You will free their hands and without looking back you and your friend will walk away from there." "You will get in your van and go back to the police station." "You have only ten minutes, starting now." "I don't have to remind you that if you do something foolish then thousands of lives will be lost." "Mr. Rathod, I will call you after Arif leaves and give you the exact locations of the bombs." "Do as he says." "Yes sir." "FBI, Interpol or our Intelligence." "Neither of them have any information about this man." "We have no choice." "We can kill these guys some other time." "Prakash, how can we justify their disappearance?" "There was a snag in the security so they escaped." "You can suspend me over this." "Prakash, you are..." " Excuse me sir." "It was a local call." "If he calls the next time I can point out his exact location." "Are you sure?" " Definitely." "He is good." "But not the best." "Okay." "Arif, remove his handcuffs." "This is not right." "If they escape and they don't tell us about the bombs then..." "Arif, it's Mr. Rathod's orders." "No Jai." "Free the other three." "Let's take him with us." "We will leave him only when we know the exact locations of the bombs." "I will call up Mr. Rathod." "I will not release him even if sir asks me to." "Arif, are you crazy?" "Someone might be watching us." "Then he will call us when he sees us leave." "Arif!" " Don't argue!" "Let's go!" "Arif!" " You are making a mistake." "What did you say?" " You are making a big mistake." "I like to make mistakes." "Come on!" " Let me go." "What will they do to Ibrahim bhai?" "Nothing." "We will get him freed later." "Khursheed bhai, what should we do next?" "We will wait." "Someone will come to take us away." "Arif!" " What is it now?" "I can hear a phone ringing." "Take a look." "Pick it up." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Wait!" "Take him." "Now give me the locations of the bombs." "First call up Arif and give me his status." "I want to listen to his response." "Hold him." "Hello." "Arif, what is the progress?" "Sir, I am confused." "Something else is going on here." "Means?" " The plan was not to free them but to kill them." "A bomb was planted in that area." "As soon as we left, the bomb exploded." "Both the benches were rigged." "It means, all four of them..." "No." "I had left only Zaheer, lqlak and Lala over there." "To secure the information about the bombs I had kept Ibrahim with me." "Yes he is with us." "He is alive." "What is happening?" "Arif is right, Mr. Rathod!" "Arif, put the phone off loudspeaker mode." "I want Ibrahim to listen to what I am going to say." "I did not want to save Ibrahim Khan, lqlak Ahmed Mohammad Zaheer and Khursheed Lala but I wanted to kill them." "And in fact you will complete my job, today and right now." "Sorry, I did not understand you." "Mr. Rathod, what do you do if a cockroach enters you house?" "You do not make it your pet, you just kill it." "These pests were spoiling my house and now I want to clean it." "Who are you?" "I am someone who is afraid to get into a bus or a train these days." "I am someone whose wife thinks is going to war while I am actually going to my work." "She is afraid that I may not return." "She calls up every two hours." "To find if I had my tea." "To find if I have lunched." "Actually she wants to find out whether I am still alive." "I am someone who sometimes gets stuck in the rain or in the blasts." "I am someone who suspects the person carrying a rosary." "I am also the one who is afraid to grow his beard and wear a cap." "If I buy a shop I am afraid to choose a name as someone might see the name and burn it during the riots." "No matter which two parties are fighting I am the first one to get killed." "You must have seen a crowd." "Choose a person from it." "I am that person." "I am just the stupid common man wanting to clean his house." "How did this common man suddenly wake up?" "And that too with six kgs of RDX?" "Has that got you worried now?" "Do you want me to live my life and die every moment of it?" "Mr. Rathod, this did not happen all of a sudden!" "I just did not get the time to do it." "In the process of earning my daily bread this work got neglected." "But it's better late than never." "That remaining cockroach will also die today." "Why just these four?" "There are others as well." "I drew a lottery and I got their names." "Are you trying to say that if we don't kill Ibrahim then you will kill thousands of innocent people?" "Sooner or later they are going to die and people like Ibrahim will kill them." "The last time they were killed in a train this time it will be somewhere else." "They will keep on killing until we learn to give a solid reply." "Who are you?" " What do you mean?" "I mean are you a Hindu or a Muslim?" "This has nothing to do with my religion." "There is." "I told you, I am just a stupid common man." "Stupid common man!" " Right." "Are you afraid of getting caught and getting killed?" "Maybe." " Be definite." "You are or you aren't?" " I am." "Just remember this fear." "And don't think you will escape punishment by putting this garb of a stupid common man." "The thing you are trying to prove..." " I am not trying to prove anything." "I just want to remind you that people are very angry." "Please stop testing their patience." "We are resilient by force not by choice." "It took me just four weeks to render you helpless." "Do you suppose the people who kill us are more intelligent than us?" "Type 'bomb' in any internet search and you will get hundreds of websites showing you how to make them." "All the information is accessible and that too for free." "Do you know a washing soap is also a potential bomb?" "I feel there is no better product made for the common man." "The problem with us is that we get used to all this." "If one such incidence occurs we watch it on all the channels we send smses, we call up people." "We get happy that we are safe and then instead of fighting against the situation we start to adjust with it." "But we have our compulsions." "We have to maintain a family." "That's why we appoint a government to run the nation." "All of you." "The government, the police force, intelligence is capable of carrying out this pest control." "But you are not doing it." "Instead you are just supporting their cause by not doing anything stringent." "Why are you not nipping them in the bud?" "It takes you ten years to prove a person guilty." "Don't you think this is a question mark on your ability?" "All this should stop." "This whole bloody system is flawed." "If you don't clean up this mess then we will have to do something about it." "I know there will be an imbalance in our civilized society." "But what can we do?" "Mr. Rathod, I am convinced the train blasts were not just a terrorist activity but it was a question." "The question was, we are going to keep killing you what can you do?" "Yes!" "They've asked us this question." "First on a friday then they repeated it on tuesday." "I am just replying on a Wednesday." "Your, add-salt-to-taste philosophy, is absolutely wrong." "This is not the correct approach." "I know." "But right now I am not concerned about the approach but the results." "Did someone of yours die in these blasts?" "Why?" "Should I wait until someone close to me dies in such a dirty way?" "And only then will you feel that this step is justified?" "If you want to know then listen." "There was someone close to me on that train." "A kid... must be around 21 years." "Don't know his name." "Used to meet me everyday in the first class compartment." "While getting into the train he used to greet me with a hello and I used to return the courtesy." "There were many such people." "We did not know each other's names Just knew each other through 'hellos'!" "With a smile he had shown me his engagement ring just a day before." "He was very happy." "The next day I missed the train and I escaped death." "But he didn't." "After that when I went by train there was nobody whom I knew." "The compartment was full of strangers." "So you are doing this for those dead people." "No." "I am not that emotional and sentimental." "I always knew what loss is." "I have seen my relatives die." "But this is unacceptable." "None of these b..." "pardon my language..." "But none of these bastards will decide when I should die." "They are proud of '92 and '93 and of 2006." "They are proud of Gujarat, Mumbai, Delhi and Malegoan." "I am proud of myself that I am killing such people." "I am not a saviour." "And I am not doing this for anyone else but myself." "I only want that when my child goes out he should travel without fear on buses, trains or anywhere else." "I cannot understand you." "That's because my reasons and demands are a bit strange." "Maybe." " Be definite." "Yes or no." "Yes." "If they kill 200 of us then it is okay but if I kill only 4 of them then it's strange?" "This is not your fault." "This is what is expected of a common man." "Live, tolerate and die like a common man." "Take yourself for example till the time you did not know who I am you were afraid of me and taking me seriously." "And now that I have told you I am a common man you've got back some confidence in your voice." "You must be thinking this not a terrorist but just a common man." "I will easily catch him." " No, that is not so." "It better not be because all the bombs are still where they were." "Mr. Rathod." "Arif." "Now everything depends on you two whether this would be my last call or not." "Ten minutes later Naina Roy will reach there with her cameraman." "There will also be a doctor and an ambulance with them." "I want confirmed reports on TVthat Ibrahim Khan is dead." "If this happens then I will immediately tell you where the bombs are." "But if it doesn't then you are responsible for what happens next." "Arif, I'll call you back." " Yes sir." "Now what will you do?" "First I will clean my ear." "I am finding it hard to hear." "Sir, I want you to take this decision." "Do we have any other choice than to do what he says?" "No sir." "But it is wrong." " That it is." "What else can I do?" "We can do nothing." "What is all this?" "Child, what is 2 + 2?" "What?" "Ten minutes from now you will go to runway number 4 and cover a very important news." "Didn't I promise this would be the most important day of your life?" "Go see for yourself." "Did you just address me as a child?" "You have heard right." "Bye." "He is a traitor!" "He knows nothing." "The matter is about our community." "Yours and mine." "It is about my brothers and sisters and our home." "It is about our rights!" "If we are together nobody can harm us." "Didn't we teach the Americans and British a very good lesson?" "Nobody could stop us." "But you made a mistake by coming to India." "A common man got a bit upset and now not only is he stopping you but he is killing you as well." "I am not afraid to die..." "I do not fear death." "Why am I alive?" "For a Cause." "And for that cause I am willing to sacrifice myself." "But then I want to live to wage this battle." "And for my brothers and sisters, my community..." "Why are you laughing?" "I see that you are afraid of death." "This is an accident." " Yes sir, this is an accident." "I must get a detailed report of this accident by tomorrow morning." "Personally." "You will get it." "Sir!" " Heads!" "Yes sir." "You should've told me first." "We don't have time." "Look over there." "Did you trace the call?" " I am tracing it." "Sir, let him go." "I was wrong." "He's not just good." "He is the best." "Sir, I am not sure this is the man." "How similar is he?" " I can..." " Is he at least 1 percent similar?" "Sir..." "Deepak, right now I am at the Juhu Aviation Base where four terrorists were killed while trying to escape." "The names of these terrorists are Khursheed Lala lqlak Ahmed, Mohammad Zaheer and Ibrahim Khan." "Naina Roy..." "Mr. Rathod!" " Tell me." "I did not plant any other bomb." "I know that." " Nice talking to you sir." "In this operation a police inspector has been seriously injured." "His name is Arif Khan." "You can see him right now going into the ambulance." "And now we have with us Inspector Jai Singh who will give us all the information about this incident." "Sir, tell us how did this happen?" "As a routine process we were shifting these terrorists to another place." "Excuse me!" " Yes." "What's the time?" "My watch is not working." "5.30." "Your bag seems quite heavy." "Excuse me." "Yes, tell me." "Have you left or not?" "I was just leaving when I met someone." "Who is it?" "A friend of yours?" "I don't know yet." "Please come home." "It's getting late." " I am on my way." "Sorry." "Were you saying something?" "I was saying your bag seems quite heavy." "Can I drop you somewhere?" "That's my vehicle." "That police jeep?" "Yes." " No thanks." "I live nearby." "Are you sure?" " Sure." "Prakash Rathod." "I am..." "He told me his name but I can't tell that name to anybody..." "A man recognizes the religion by name." "We all knew that a common man is disturbed by these things." "But never ever imagined that a common man can go to such stage." "One common man had the guts." "This incident and this case is not registered in any file." "There is no record anywhere, but it is in my mind and some people who were involved in this case unwillingly." "I don't know if it is right or wrong but personally speaking, whatever it was." "It was good." "ThE EnD"
