But your wife was on camera...

- Totally baseless allegation!

This tape will be examined and

the results will be clear.

We'll get to the root

of this conspiracy.

The person or organization

misleading...

...the public will not be spared.

Sir, journalist Akash Ranjan's

called a pres conference.

Where the entire video...

- Our lawyers...

If the press conference is still

held, we won't sit idle.

Mr. Minister!

No matter what it costs, get me bail.

It's important to get out of here.

- Okay bhai.

A man lying ill in the hospital

jail ward for the past 3...

...months, no charge sheet

filed, no proof...

...found, not even a single witness.

Till when will the

police torture him?

My client, Tabrez Alam, has

been released on bail.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

- Enough! Enough!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

A dark government of dark deeds!

The ministers of this government...

...have achieved major degrees...

...in corruption, bribery, cheating.

The people have

witnessed everything.

The poor is being exploited as

the unscrupulous garner notes.

I raised my voice, I was

arrested to be silenced.

But the court of

justice is not blind.

No one can silence me.

All allegations levied against me...

...are totally false and baseless.

Now what'll become of

ministers like Dinkar...

...Pandey in the court of people,

that is yet to be seen.

The public has lost faith

in this government.

We'll pull it down!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

Long live Tabrez bhai!

Sir, what will be your next step?

I'll demand an

emergency meeting in...

...the Vidhan Sabha and

a no confidence motion.

But...

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

The impossible happened

but as pointless.

Do what you want but you can

never become a Minister.

Mr. Pandey, everyone abandons

a sinking ship.

Face reality, your ship has sunk!

That ship doesn't even exist.

To pull down the government

you need 122 MLA's!

You've forgotten how to count.

Go back to the cabinet meeting...

...from which you've

excused yourself.

Every minute the strings of

your coalition are breaking.

Mr. Pandey, your chair has

slipped away from you,

Forget about my chair.

Now just see how the ground

slips under your feet.

I'm with him. Talk to him.

It's Mr. Pandey. Wants

to meet you urgently.

Hello. - This is the time

to support us openly.

This is all Tabrez's conspiracy.

He'll take full advantage of it.

What do you think?

- Mr. Pandey the time is not right.

We should not meet now.

- Ajay! - We'll talk later.

The problem is that we have 17

MLA's and Dayashankar's 13.

A total of 55 but we still

can't form the Government.

Tomorrow is Akash Ranjan's

press conference.

He'll do an amazing expose!

Nothing will happen.

Some resignations will

save the government.

Don't worry! The government

will fall by tomorrow.

Hello!

- Hello Mr. Superintendent.

The MLA himself is coming

for a jail visit. - Okay!

Please sit in the office.

I will send for him.

No! I have a special work

and it is a special day.

If you permit, I'll go myself.

You may proceed, sir!

Hello sir!

Keep it on. I'm coming.

Come!

Happy Birthday!

How do you know?

Dear, I know you better than myself.

See what I've got. Get it!

Why? What happened?

After mother died, I never

got a birthday gift!

What is the matter, sir?

Nothing! You must've heard of

the brewing political storm!

It wants to pull down the government.

W may miss the opportunity again.

Can nothing be done, bhai?

There's something only you can do.

Command me, I will do anything.

Sir! This is the list of Tabrez

Alam's phone calls today.

2289703 is the jail number.

- Sir.

Get the details. Do you have

a man there? - Yes sir.

Greetings sir. - Greetings Ajay bhai!

There wasn't any plan to go

out. Where are you going?

Tabrez bhai's work came up suddenly.

Ajay that...

What is the matter?

Aren't you coming?

Mr. Pandey had called. It's urgent.

He's asking about you.

If you say then...

- No!

You work for Pandey. I can't

refuse Tabrez bhai.

I will fix your meeting whenever...

- Go!

Hello Mr. Khan!

- Hello.

Ajay Shastri's replacement.

How long will you take

to return, Ajay bhai?

If I return it'll be 3-4 hours.

We will wait for

you at the hospital.

Reach there directly.

You? - Tabrez bhai has asked

me to go with you.

He knows I always work alone.

Bhai, he has left alone.

- Keep an eye on him. - Yes bhai!

Sit in the car!

Hello. - Usman had called.

- Bhai, don't you trust me?

I do trust you.

I'm worried about your life

not the assignment.

After you are done with the job as...

...you come out you'll find

a red van at the rear gate.

Slip out in that.

Understood? Do as I say.

Sir, from Tabrez Alam's phone there

is a call to a new number?

What's the number?

- 09563799880

I'll call that new number now.

Track the area in which

the phone is. - Yes sir.

Sir, it'll take some time to locate.

Hurry up! Urgent!

- Okay sir.

Sign here.

- Your card. - Thanks

Is the Education Minister involved?

Everyone's involved.

It'll expose everyone!

I think the Government will fall.

- No one can save it.

Mister, your phone's ringing.

Don't disconnect.

Please hear me out.

I am Khan... Anwar Khan.

I was the SP at Salampur.

What you're doing is not only wrong

but also dangerous for you.

We've our entire record.

Tabrez Alam's planned to kill Akash...

...Ranjan and blame the government.

Because of which there'll be an...

...outcry and the

government will fall.

But just think will you be saved?

You don't know Tabrez Alam.

He lacks humanity.

He incites and misleads people

in the name of God.

You've fallen prey to his barbarism.

Ajay, only I can save you.

Don't disconnect.

Talk to me. I'll...

Where is Mr. Akash Ranjan?

He'll come to the hall in a sometime.

You?

Where is Akash Ranjan?

Why? Akash Ranjan. This

press conference...

Oh! You want to kill Akash Ranjan...

...and stop this press conference?

But you will never succeed

in this despicable mission!

I'm not here to listen

to your lecture.

That's obvious!

I can see your motive.

What else can losers like you, who...

...can't face the truths of life, do?

Sir, does this seem like

the sign of failure?

You can't imagine the extent

of our success and power.

We can even topple the Government!

You know your acclaim and

achievements are hollow.

You've chosen the path

of terror and violence.

The end will be terrifying.

Thanks for your well

wishes from my end.

I am a blot on your struggle,

principles, saintly stature.

It's written on my forehead.

'My father is ashamed of me! '

You blame me... - Yes, you're

responsible for all this.

Completely!

What have you done for me?

Mother passed away. You

were never there for me.

I've done everything on my own.

But you purposely obstructed my path.
