Finally he borrows 5 lakh rupees to bribe his way on the merit list, & soon his name is shown on the shortlist. Just before his selection, major differences crop up between Home Minister Dinkar Pandey and his dad, with the later threatening to expose the corruption within the State Ministry.

A desperate Ajay decides to be part of the lucrative kidnapping scheme in Bihar, abducts a Government official and demands a ransom so that he can re-pay his loan. Unfortunately, this Government official was under the protection of underworld Don, Gaya Singh, who

the court has given strict...

...instructions to the government

to execute all...

...delayed and non-bailable

warrant within 24 hours.

And to inform the court after

arresting the concerned criminals.

All that is fine. But please answer

one question, Shastri-ji.

You are crusading here.

And your son is enjoying

the protection...

...of jail and working wonders!

What's the connection?

Excuse me, I don't have a son

by the name Ajay Shastri.

So will leaders like Tabrez Alam...

...Shamsher, Kali Jha be behind bars?

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Move!

What's the matter?

There's an arrest warrant in

the name of MLA Tabrez Alam.

So arrest me, I am Tabrez Alam.

- Yes, I am Tabrez Alam!

Arrest me! Arrest me!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam! -

Look we have the court order.

Till there is even

a drop of blood...

...in my body no one

can touch our leader.

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

There is nothing to worry about.

Let the police in.

I now belong to the people,

so this is inevitable.

Even Lord Ram had to suffer exile.

It's evident that our hopeless,

failed government has...

...become so scared of me that

it cannot bear to see me free.

Move behind! Move behind!

Massive protests have accompanied...

...the arrest of Tabrez Alam.

Another police van has just

gone through the gates.

But the media has been kept

away from the gates.

Akash Ranjan, Salampur, Aaj Tak.

Come... I was waiting for you.

With your permission.

My child has come home.

Can I talk to him for 2 minutes?

Yes.

Bhai!

- Yes.

You had to suffer this

because of my father.

Oh come on! This is not

the work of your father.

There are others behind it.

That home minister Dinkar Pandey.

He is the one behind this.

- One minute!

Doctor Agarwal's report has

been filed in the court.

And even the hospital's jail

ward needs to be refurnished.

Bhai, Munna will stay with you.

See, I have no problem.

And since you're there

I am not even worried.

Usman. - Yes. - Ajay

will handle everything.

Let him work.

'Tabrez Alam set up

his headquarters...

...in jail and outside

Ajay took charge.'

'He exceeded

Tabrez's expectations.'

'The 27 big and small gangs

which were working from...

...within the security

of Salampur Jail were...

...either crippled or taken

over by Ajay Shastri.'

'According to police and other

statistics, within a year, in...

...places like Bettiah, Bagha,

Motihari, Rohtas, Kaimur...

...Baksar, Natanda, Samastipur,

Siwan, Munger...

...Begusarai, Lakhisarai, Purnia,

Shekhpura and...

...Patna there were over

2400 kidnapping cases...

...and hundreds of

murders for ransom.'

'And dozens of criminal files were...

...opened in the name

of Ajay Shastri.'

'He even established connections

with hundreds of...

...gangs of Bengal, Uttar Pradesh

and Madhya Pradesh.'

Good evening.

- Good evening sir!

Come!

Have a seat, sir

Come and have a seat, sir.

Come and have a seat, sir.

Let's talk something.

If we click then we'll enjoy

a dazzling night together...

Come and have a seat, sir.

Come!

Come! Waiter!

What will you have?

- Your money.

You are very direct. I liked it.

Baby, walk towards me.

Nice and slowly.

Baby! Baby!

Your work will be done.

- I trust you.

I am ripe and juicy.

I am full of love.

I am ripe and juicy.

I am full of love.

You will go mad.

If my blouse opened up.

The fire inside me

is blazing bright.

It's impossible to

quench my thirst.

Come to me, my beloved.

Come!

'Ajay gave a new direction to

the kidnapping enterprise.'

'Lt wasn't a problem if the ransom...

...money could not be paid in full.'

'With Ajay Shastri there was

the facility of installments.'

'Businessmen, doctors, officers,

contractors, teachers... '

'People from all professions and...

...their families lived

in constant fear.'

'Ajay Shastri had become a hero...

...for millions of unemployed youth.'

'Every day new criminal gangs

started mushrooming! '

'As Ajay's power grew,

so did his enemies.'

'Some outside and some within.'

So, didn't you get the

railway contract?

I had warned you not to

mess with Ramdhani Singh.

Usman, don't give pointless

commentary.

Speak as much your

wit permits. Come.

That's true! Ajay Shastri

pounces like a dog.

Boss, he won't come after we

have thrashed his people.

We should've killed him.

It seems the beating wasn't enough.

So you too have come to

light your own pyre?

He wants to be a contractor!

Shoot them both!

You are mistaken Ramdhani Singh!

I've brought him to apologize.

He made a mistake by

eyeing your business.

Come on, apologize.

Come on, apologize!

Come on! Come on!

From now on be it railways

or highways...

...no contract in North

Bihar will be passed...

...without Ajay Shastri's approval!

'Success and power had

got to Ajay's head.'

'Murders, extortion, kidnappings.'

'The list of Ajay's crimes

kept increasing.'

Salim has brought

the Kolkatta party.

He says that you'd asked him

to pick up the outside goods?

We'll have to. Our business

is growing.

We're also operating in UP & Nepal.

How's the party?

He's the son of a millionaire

business family.

He got married recently.

The middleman's demand is 25.

Understood, he's the son of that

building company's owner.

That Surati gang of Dhanbad

had picked him up.

Usman bhai, the party's okay.

You get the payment done.

Our 50 lakhs is safe. - It'll

be your responsibility.

It is always so.

Get the payment done.

Rascal! He overdoes things!

It was a grand wedding. He must...

...have got a good amount of dowry.

They are government contractors.

Hey! In which other banks

do you have accounts?

He is just pulling an act.

He was pretending

over the phone too.

Nobody's coming to release him.

Kill the rascal.

Let's not waste time.

Please don't talk of killing me!

I called up Kolkatta in front of you.

The money will come. Trust me.

Ajay bhai, the party's arrived.

See, they've come.

I told you that the money would come.

Bhai, it's a lady.

Who?

Darling, I have come.

- Megha! - Are you fine?

How are you? - I'm all right!

The money... - I have got it.

Your life is most precious.

We'll just leave.

I'll just be back.

- Megha!

Don't leave me, Megha!

Sorry, I got late.

The flight got delayed

in Kolkatta itself.

You could've called. Why

did you bother to come?

From the past 16 days

I have got calls...

...from Kolkata, Dhanbad

& everywhere else.

I lost all faith.

I'm fortunate that you

all kidnapped him.

I'll at least be able

to retrieve him.

I've brought the entire amount.

Get it counted.

I didn't know he...

- How would you know?

We got married on the

22nd of last month.

I had called home and

I spoke to your father.

Megha! Megha, where are you?

Coming! Let me give them the money.

If you'll let us go soon then

we've an afternoon flight...
