I'm Banka Lal's brother-in-law

speaking.

It's Banka Lal's brother-in-law.

What is it?

My brother-in-law

has been kidnapped.

Don't crack jokes.

With Gaya Singh around, no one has

the guts to touch Banka Lal.

I'm dying here and you

think it's a joke?

God will punish the culprit!

- He called himself!

Call everyone from

Nepal to Begusurai.

Get the phone from my shoe.

- Yes. - Call Murli.

Amazing! Who's this new player?

Don't play a double game with

me, Murli. I'm furious.

My life is dear to me.

I'll not make such a mistake

even in my dreams.

Why only me? No one will dare.

It must be an outside party.

Find out, Murli. Ask each

and everyone and tell me.

Banka Lal is my client.

Whoever it is will

die a dog's death.

The phone is ringing.

What?

The damn phone is ringing! Stop!

Have you stuffed sh*t in your ears?

I'm ringing for the third time.

Hello.

- What happened?

The car had an accident. We're

bringing him in a rickshaw.

In a rickshaw! Why

didn't you call me?

Please tell me quickly,

where to deliver?

Leave him at the highway before

the Pipra turn. Understood.

Hello, Murli-bhai.

Cut out the greetings. Gaya

Singh's looking out for you.

Gaya Singh?

Who did you give the contract to?

That's the problem with a new party.

Hurry up and check the stuff.

If you could settle with us...

Such a dangerous slip! I

almost changed my mind.

Left the car at the crime scene.

Hello.

Murli here, Naga-bhai. How are you?

I'm busy now, Murli-bhai, later.

Picking up stuff in double

shits at the bypass.

Is it the State tax inspector

from Hajipur?

Don't talk nonsense, Murli.

I don't pick up stuff worth

small changes. Understood.

Whatever you do, think about it.

Banka Lal is Gaya Singh's client.

He's in a frenzy searching

for the kidnappers.

Leave him. Cancel it.

We don't want the delivery.

Let's go.

What's the matter?

Don't want the delivery.

We've picked him up with great

difficulty, Naga-bhai.

We've risked our lives...

I can't risk my life.

Leave the door.

First come out. Make our payment.

You! Want your payment!

Beat up the rascals!

Leave my hand. - Naga sir, there

is no point in fighting.

It's a matter of life and death.

Please. Because of me, my friends...

- Shut up!

Full 5 lakhs, Naga sir.

Run! Run! Come on!

Quick! Brother-in-law!

Untie him fast! The police

is here. Don't worry.

Naga-bhai. Naga is on the line.

You're becoming very daring, Naga.

There's no question about it, Gaya.

As soon as I found out he is your

man, I canceled the delivery.

Who were they?

It's a gang from Salmapur itself.

Some Ajay Shastri.

Ajay Shastri!

Yes.

What Mr. DSP! I plough the land,

sow the seeds, nurture them...

...and the Professor Shastri's

son will take away the harvest?

The case is in Hajipur.

It's not in my district.

But the criminals are

from your district.

I'm sending 1 lakh. I want

all 4 by the morning.

Why so much rancor, they

all are new kids.

And they've failed.

It's not about passing or failing.

In my area, they had the guts

to pick up my client.

It's a very serious matter.

It's another district

and needs 4 warrants.

It's too much work, Gaya.

After the magistrate and police

station, I won't have anything left.

When it comes to money,

you become shameless.

Get the work done first.

We'll see later.

Double the payment.

It's so bloody unfair. Everyone

wants to rob you.

Surround the house! Move!

Check there!

Where are you barging!

Move!

Where are you going?

Listen, what's the matter?

What's going on? Stop these people!

Will you tell us on what charges

are you arresting him?

The charges are section 365, 384,

120B and 302, professor.

What was the police saying?

Kidnapping, ransom,

conspiracy to murder.

Come on! Move!

Sir, this is Professor Shastri's...

- Of course, I know him.

He has chosen the right field.

He'll make his father proud.

Who else have you all kidnapped?

Sir, should we make his report?

That we'll do. But first

let's get him to confess.

Ajay. What happened?

Could I talk to him for a moment?

Yes, yes, but first

let us speak to him.

You sure have guts!

Who gave you the contract? Speak up!

Who are your other 2 gang members?

What are you staring at?

Shall I call that madam inside?

Sir has come. He has called you.

Let's go.

Professor Shastri has also come.

- Bring him along.

Father, these people

have arrested Ajay.

So what are you doing here?

Let's go from here.

This is a place for criminals

not for you.

Father, let me just speak to Ajay.

Ajay please, say something.

Come on, move.

- You go home.

Ajay... Ajay...

Let's go.

Look, Professor we

really respect you.

But the charges are very serious.

Come.

They have planned and kidnapped

a government officer.

Even then, Mr. SP.

The boy wasn't caught

at the crime scene.

If you want the matter could...

No. There would be obstruction

in the process of the law.

If the allegations are not proven,

he will be declared innocent.

Otherwise, for the kind of

crime he has committed...

...he should be punished severely.

Move! Come on!

Boss's word is completely ready.

These guys will have

a grand welcome.

Come on!

Hey! Move!

Who is Ajay Shastri? Tell me!

Come on!

- I'm Ajay Shastri.

Hold that rascal!

Hot blooded rascal, speak!

Speak up!

How did you have the bloody

guts to lay a hand on my man!

Come on, talk! I'll ruin you!

You dare to stare at me?

Lick this!

And swear that you'll never

do this again. Lick!

Remember this.

Ajay.

How did all this happen, Ajay?

Please say something.

Why have you come here?

I don't understand what to do.

Admission at Ranchi

has been confirmed.

I met your father. He...

Please don't talk about Pundit

Raghuvanshi Shastri.

Don't say that, Ajay. It's

a bad dream, it will pass.

Your whole life lies ahead.

Your life. Don't associate with

a man like me and ruin it.

Ajay...

- I'm a criminal.

Meeting me is not appropriate for

you. Please don't come here again.

Ajay...

Pick up the party from Nepal.

Gaya Singh never fails to pay.

DSP Shukla.

Police department dogs

can smell money.

Come. Get some beer. Boss has come.

Major conference going on? Did I

disturb you at the wrong time?

When do you ever come at the

right time, Shukla-ji?

Tell me, what can I do for you?

Leave the hosting to me. You

just give me the money.

I've already given you 1 lakh.

Now should I gift you the Taj Mahal?

Double of that was the deal.

I've given you so much till now.

But your habit of begging remains.

Look, I'm working for you.

That you will do for money.

You will even sell yourself.

How much do you have in hand?

- Rs. 50,000/-.

Spare me, DSP sir. Even a

prostitute doesn't haggle so much.

Sorry, if you felt bad.

It's 50 less. But it will do.

Hello. Sudhakar from the DGP office.

Boss has called you to the

headquarters urgently at 4 o'clock.

Sir.

Lots of complaints against you.

Have to take action now.

Complaints? Against me?
