of Ambedkar Nagar

Only Mano in that area is your friend

How can there be no other Mano?

- Silence

Give me your mobile

Any problem, sir?

My phone is not charging

It is switched off

Plug it in that socket

Hello, Aditya

Process is going on sir.

It will take some time.

Not about that

I am handling a small case

What?

- A girl in this area is missing

Found traces of blood in her bedroom.

So, we suspected it is a crime scene.

Can you please seal

that place immediately?

We still have not cleared

this case, sir

It is a tiring for everyone.

But, say what can we do?

Ok, where is the address?

I will text it to you

Constable Gautham will be in the spot, you can

coordinate with him- Ok done

Sir, courier

- Come

So Mr. want to be Police, any idea how the case

might have travelled after this?

I know where and how this will end

But there are a few missing links unknown

in between - Really?

Is it not boring to watch the film knowing what

the climax is, right?- Not exactly

It depends on the way you narrate your story

- Ok

After informing Aditya...

...I told those 3 boys to wait

in the station

That is where I got the first hint

in this murder case

The bullet in Krish head was 9 mm.

This is used by policemen

Check inside- Ok sir

- Hello sir- Walk me through

It is simple but complicated. Does not look like a fight or

robbery in the crime scene except blood on the wall

While checking we found

Shruti identity card

In fact yesterday was Shruti birthday.

A problem came up here

According to Shruti I.D card

her blood group was O+

But we checked the blood group on the wall.

It is B positive

Sir, what happened to the other case?

- 9MM

Can I sit here?

- Please

What happened sir?- Most girls have

problems because of relationship issues

So I think to should start

from that point of view

I already did, sir

He is one guy

He will surprise me every now and then

Tell me, Mr. Gautham sir

What is your information?

I enquired everyone here, sir

According to everyone Shruti stays alone

No parents or guardians

But I believe a guy visits her now and then

Once an elder from 3A here asked about that,

she told him he was her fianc

He is the only one who has seen

that guy in this apartment

So we have a mystery boyfriend here

Name of that Boy is Krish sir

This is his license

Aditya, what did you say was the blood group

on the wall?- B positive sir

Sir

- Backside

Once an elder here asked about that,

she told him he was her fianc

He is the only one who has seen

that guy in this apartment sir

Sir, was it this man you saw?

- I am not sure, but I think it is him

Our first priority

Should know, who the boy is

Shruti complained about

Sir, what about that Mano?

In Shruti case it does not

look like they are lying

Their answers seem to be convincing

Crime Branch team has come

You do not have to be here

Go to Ambedkar Nagar and do the same

questioning you did here. I will drop you.

Sir, I will go up and get my cap.- What?

I forgot my cap sir.- Come on quick-Yes sir

You are a 90s kid, right?

You would have definitely played the Mario game,

correct?- Yes sir

In the beginning of that game

There are 3 lives

But by luck you jump across in some spot

You will get a life from a magic brick over there,

Extra life

Do you know?

But I did not get anything of that sort

You will get

Same holds good in all cases

There will be a magic brick

You do not have to go in search of it

The brick will come in search of you

Agreed, but how can you refuse?

- Do not torture me, sir

Why do you hold the camera? Give it.

- I will not give the camera

- What happened?

- Look at them

They are hell bent on taking a film in front of

the apartment with families sir

What?- We were only shooting a short film

And we did not disturb anyone, sir

This is a residential area

Sir, we did not disturb anyone

He is exaggerating, sir

We have a competition tomorrow

Sir, we have to edit tomorrow

All our files are in there, sir

Collect it from the station

in the evening

For this competition, 6 months

we have been working

Why is he taking away the camera, without

listening at all

You know the drill, enquire in every house

Make sure you mark

even the slightest doubt

Is that clear Goutham?

- I will do the needful, sir

Sir, I am Gautham speaking

Yes, Gautham

What is Shrutis complaint

against Mano?

He has stopped her in the middle of

the road yesterday and misbehaved

That girl has used a string

of cuss words on him

And livid with rage has complained in the station

- Oh, ok sir

My son is missing from yesterday

- Father of Krish, sir- Phone too is not working

He is here to complain about his missing son

Did I not tell you this morning

to inform him?

You had Krishs license

I did not note down

his address

How if you say reasons so, Rajaiah?

Hello sir

- Ok, ask him to be seated inside

Sir

- Sir, you please wait inside

I had asked you about

taking off, sir?

Boys, give your mobile number here

I am at the station

We will call you anytime, do not switch off

- I will meet the Inspector and come

Sir will be here soon Please be seated

You can leave now

But tomorrow I want to see all three of you

Hello sir, have you given a complaint?

What can I do for you?

My name is Sriram

My son Krish usually is back home

by 9o clock every night

He is missing from last night

He messages if he is delayed

We did not get any message either

My wife is very worried

That is why I thought I should let you know

Sir, father of that boy?

I too was a police officer

I was posted in Delhi

I retired 5 years ago and

I am settled now here in Hyderabad

Sorry, I did not salute you and sat

No formalities at all

Sir, I will to tell you something

I do not know how you will take it

Someone has shot your son. He is dead.

When?

This morning

Who... why?

Do not know. We are investigating

To see parents lose

their children and grieve...

...there is not a more

depressing sight, you know

I am not in the frame of mind to talk now

I will come to the station tomorrow

He was our only son

How will I break this news to my wife?

Rajaiah- Sir

If Aditya calls, ask him to

get in touch with me in my landline

Number sir?

- 2485127- Ok sir

You are on night duty, right?

Yes, sir

Sir, is your mobile alright now?

I think it is charged

I will switch it on at home and check

All those in the spot today can report to work

tomorrow evening- Ok sir

Hello, Deepak

- Hello sir, all good?- Yes

Someone was waiting in front

of your house for a long time

Who?

- No idea

An young man, must be around 6:00 p.m

I saw him when I was going for walk

I do not know where

he went after that

Okay, let me see tomorrow, good night sir

- Ok, good night

The mobile number you are calling is

switched off. Please try later.

Hello

There are 2 college boys here

It seems you asked them to collect

their camera this evening at the station
