The police had raided

Patel area in Delhi...

...and freed Mohit from the

grasp of the abductors.

It has been 40 days.

The Government has still not

replied to our allegations.

Through the press I've exposed...

...the list of fake co-operative

societies.

Shastri-ji, what will

your next step?

I have decided to give Chief

Minister Brijnath Mishra...

...and Co-operatives Minister

Daya Shankar a week's notice.

And if that fails then Satyagraha.

It's futile to send the government

one notice after another.

Here my child's breakfast

is not ready.

Will this daily lecturing

fill anyone's stomach?

Stop racing around. First eat the

puri. - No! I'll get late Buchhi kaka.

Have at least 2, dear.

How will you carry this load

with an empty stomach?

I'm late! Kashi is waiting outside.

Listen!

Oh God!

With the policies, this coalition

government is adopting...

...there is more likelihood of

destruction than development.

Here's your late fine.

Drop me at Kalyani chowk.

I've to go to City Medical.

What's the point of

wandering on foot?

I'll drop you to City Medical.

This Vishnu Sharma is acting like

we've come to loot his shop.

Forget it. You go. See

you in the evening.

Hello, Mr. Sharma.

- Greetings.

You again?

How many times I've told you.

That indigenous medicine

doesn't sell.

What are you saying, Mr. Sharma?

These Ayurvedic medicines have

become a rage in London and America.

The company has come out

with new tablets...

...for hypertension

and blood pressure.

Oh! In that case give me

a pill for hypertension.

The very sight of you

stresses me out!

Come on, Mr. Sharma.

- Hi. - Hi.

How are you?

- Fine.

Okay.

Give me these medicines

except the two on top.

El-thro-cin... five hundred.

Two strips.

So Mr. Sharma, what should I book?

I told you. I don't want anything.

- Okay, I'll come tomorrow.

But sir, at least clear

the old payment.

What payment?

Can't you see all your stocks

are still lying on the shelves!

Please! The company

is pressurizing me!

They're giving me reminder

after reminder.

So take away all your

stock from here!

It's just eating up the space

for nothing. Lallan.

Yes, sir.

Remove the Vindhyachal stock.

Sharma-ji, there's no need for

this! Let it be, friend.

I'll come back next week.

Till then please let me

put up this publicity.

Which company do you work for?

- Vindhyachal Ayurvedic.

He's working for part time.

We're trying at the Ranchi

Medical College for Megha.

She will do her post-graduation

there.

Even Ajay has given the State

Police Service competitive exam.

He has done well in the interview

and the physical.

The merit list will

be out any day now.

Done, Mr. Sharma?

Help! Hey! Run!

Hey!

Ajay!

Ajay!

Megha!

Ajay!

BRE-7931. That's the number.

- Have you gone mad?

They've gone that way!

- They were firing!

Yes, sir... I'm at the crime scene.

I'm coming. What's

the situation like?

There is tension. But things

are under control now.

Find out where they've gone.

- Sir!

Alert everyone at the police

station. - Right, sir.

Sir, I tried to stop them.

They've gone towards Phulpur Chowki!

Who are you?

My name is Ajay Shastri.

Professor Rahguvansh Shastri

is his father.

Sir, his uncle was

also in the force.

Inspector Balwant Shastri.

He was a very bold officer.

He was martyred at the Lalsingh

gang encounter.

This is the total failure

of law and order, brothers.

In broad daylight, a trader

is kidnapped from the market!

Down with the police department!

Calm down. This is not

the time for a strike.

Down with SP Khan!

Move back!

Down with SP Khan!

SP Mr. Anwar Khan, what

is happening here?

How long will this continue?

Please, we'll talk

to you in a moment.

Taken any statements?

- Sir...

Who made the phone call? - I did

sir, from the City Medical stores.

Sir, there were 4 people.

It was a red Maruti van. B.R. E

- 7931.

Did you see them?

I caught a glimpse of the man

sitting in the front seat.

Mr. SP Khan, how many kidnappings...

...have you taken the onus for?

Mr. Soorajmal, you're making

an unfair allegation.

And what you all are doing is fair?

The SP before you, IPS Balbir Singh

controlled everything brilliantly.

He even had MLA Tabrez

Alam's gang cornered.

But as soon as you've come!

13 cases in 3 months!

This government cannot

protect anyone.

Shut down the market till Seth

Nandlal is not released.

Total strike!

- Yes. Strike! Strike!

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

Get them away.

Seth Nandlal, who was kidnapped

today, was a textile merchant.

The last 3 months he was

receiving threat calls.

But the police did not

provide any security.

Due to the increasing incidents

of kidnapping...

...the people here are quite enraged.

Akash Ranjan, Kalyani Chowk,

Salampur, Aaj Tak.

This will not do! We

will not allow this!

Meaningless dramas, rascals.

Hey!

The poor, underprivileged,

minorities...

...all have become second

class citizens.

Since the new government

has come to power.

We've been targeted.

The entire welfare fund for

our district is held up.

For education, employment, roads,

electricity, nothing is done.

There is outrage all over!

Sir, Seth Nandlal is kidnapped.

- Brothers, if this continues...

...then before long this government...

That's why you've started

this industry.

Brothers, Seth Nandlal have

just been kidnapped.

Everyone knows who is behind this.

Hey! So you mean to say even

this is Tabrez Alam's doing?

Hey, quiet!

Quiet! Then why don't you arrest me?

Tell me.

Long live Tabrez Alam!

This government is incompetent!

Dismiss it!

Kidnappings must stop!

Or this government must fall!

This government is incompetent!

This government is incompetent!

Dismiss it!

Don't forget Mr. Chief Minister.

You have brought the chair that

you're sitting on with our donations!

Brothers, why are you opening

the old chapter again?

I've given the orders.

Our government will not spare

any of the criminals.

We don't want assurances.

We want Nandlal back.

Till you don't rescue Nandlal,

the total market...

...in Salampur will remain close.

We've had enough!

Just hear me out! Look at this.

We've put the CID Special branch...

...the police force, all

on emergency duty.

Very soon our brother Nandlal

will be brought back safely.

Mr. Home Minister, when the

whole world knows that...

...Tabrez Alam is responsible then

why don't you arrest his people?

And immediately transfer

SP Khan from Salampur.

Apart from kidnapping

there are several...

...other crimes happing

under your nose.

Who all will you transfer?

Look, we've put forward our demands.

Nandlal has to be released within

48 hours. That's all.

Has Ajay eaten?

He just had a glass of milk.

How badly he is hurt!

Did he take any medicine?

I gave him a massage too. - Don't

wake him up early. Let him sleep.

Deep down you love him so much.

Why don't you do something for him?

You won't understand.

He'll succeed on his own merit.
