Megha, I'd never... - Please!

It's better if we don't

talk about ourselves.

Any way you are not

the Ajay I once knew.

And the way you are now, I don't

want to know about it.

Get this money counted.

There's no need for this.

Take the money back.

Kashi, let him go.

I can't do that.

If I get my husband without paying,

people will speculate.

Ajay Shastri released

him without payment.

What'll I say?

You'll have to take the money!

I don't want to be shamed

by your charity.

Let's go, beloved! Come on.

Thank you. You have been very kind.

You are God for us. Let's go.

Go and put this in her car. Go!

As if I've not earned anything

for you till now, Usman bhai.

It doesn't mean that you can

squander away the money.

50 lakhs don't come easy!

Deduct it from my share.

Don't brag about your share.

We give you that.

Don't forget, without Bhai's support

you are worth nothing.

Fine, bhai. The deed is done.

I'll make amends somehow.

What amends will you make?

You'd already lost the girl,

now you've lost the money.

Why do we do all this?

Because we've to do Allah's work.

If I compromise here, how

will I answer there?

Usman's not wrong.

The ethics of our

business is strict.

Ask him, he's lost a

son over one mistake.

You are my own. I trust you.

I'll suffer definitely

if I lose you.

Grandpa, I have a

music class today.

Have you taken everything,

books and all?

Come on. You are late.

So what happened? Then drop

us to school in your car.

Okay now come.

You've left your water bottle

again. Where is it?

Grandpa!

- Leave them! What are you doing?

Stop them! Someone stop them!

Police, they've taken my children.

Stop them!

I've got ruined, Mr. Raghuvansh.

Oh God!

What happened, Dwarka? You...

They snatched my Munni

and Bablu from me!

What? When?

Just now. I was dropping

them to the bus stop.

So let's go to the police.

Nothing will happen. You know

what the police will do.

Now you only can do something?

Me? Okay, tell me, whom,

shall I speak to?

Talk to Ajay.

What're you saying

Dwarka? How can I?

Please talk to Ajay once.

He'll know the kidnappers.

They can't say no to him.

Raghuvansh, sitting in jail he can...

...save my children

at one phone call.

Please talk to him.

Dwarka, you know

that I can't do that.

Mr. Shastri, why don't you want

to talk to Ajay Shastri?

Would you speak to him

if he wasn't your son?

Would you like to make an appeal

to Ajay through our channel?

What do people have to do? My

innocent children have gone.

Now people will just

watch the drama?

Why should anyone bother?

Nobody's going to help. Let's

go. Nobody's going to help!

Since last week the increase

in kidnappings in Salampur...

...and neighboring areas has

rattled the entire state!

Early this morning, near

Gangapur, Madanlal...

...Saxeriya and his family were

kidnapped.

Salim has kidnapped.

Find out the ransom demanded.

I have found out. It'd 50 lakhs.

Call him up.

Usman bhai, Ajay's calling.

After so many years, a baby

boy has taken birth here.

It's truly his blessing.

Tabrez bhai has come.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

I'm so lucky you have come!

I'd almost lost hope.

You've had a son at this age.

How can I not participate

in this happiness?

What jail can stop me from

meeting my people? Come.

He's called again! Disconnect it!

What happened?

- He is disconnecting.

Let it be. I know whom he's with.

Sir, you name my son.

Your phone is ringing. - Sorry Ajay

bhai, I was a little busy.

So are you free now?

Want to talk here or...

- What behaviour is this!

That's what I am asking him?

Whose weight is he throwing around?

You are speaking beyond

your stature.

Usman, what stature are

you talking about?

The one that you have built

through these impotent fools!

Ajay!

- Don't shout!

If I raise my voice then

everyone will tremble.

Seems your status and height have

really increased young man!

What's this commotion about?

Tabrez bhai, I never

bother about myself.

But it's about my father's honour.

That I'll not tolerate.

Go! We'll talk later. Go!

Bhai, it's enough! I can't

bear it anymore!

Let's finish Ajay off!

- Usman!

Don't be a fool to put

out fire with fire!

Don't provoke him.

Everything has a right time.

Come.

One minute.

Home Minister Pandey's

people have come.

He'd called me too.

He wants to meet you.

What's the harm in meeting?

Nobody will crucify you.

Let's go. Come.

Greetings! Come.

These are the two kids, right?

Tabrez got it done, purposely, he...

...dragged you in and

defamed your father.

I'll rescue the kids.

Have some tea.

Tabrez is making you weak.

He can't bear to see your strength.

You may earn the world for

him but you'll get nothing.

I know your worth. Not the Muslim

who is just filling...

...his coffers and stacking criminal

files in your name.

So you want me to work for you?

You are not getting any

income from Tabrez...

...bhai so you want a

direct share from me?

Your views are so limited.

I want you to join my party.

There's a by-election for the

Motipur Vidhan Sabha seat.

I want you to fight from there.

I will get you elected, then

the sky is the limit.

You'll be in the government.

You don't have to give

me an answer right now.

Think about it.

You are my mentor's son. I'll

always be your well-wisher.

One thing is for sure!

Under Tabrez you'll only be

exploited and humiliated.

Get him to hear this. You'll

earn good money. - Yes.

So you want me to work for you?

You are not getting any

income from Tabrez...

...bhai so you want a

direct share from me?

Your views are so limited.

I want you to join my party.

There's a by-election for the

Motipur Vidhan Sabha seat.

I want you to fight from there.

Thank you! Meet Usman bhai.

- Yes sir.

Home Minister must resign!

What other photos are out?

- Not mine

For the secret sting operation going

on for the last 3 months...

...our camera has captured

many ministers and...

...senior Government officers

taking bribes.

You know the rules of the world!

Don't worry.

- Our work must be done.

Mr. Sharma's been taken care of.

The CM... - What'll the Chief Minister

do? We're there, we'll do it.

This is peanuts!

- Give!

So many people filled the tender

and only yours got passed.

The 3rd of last month at his house,

minister Dayashankar.

In the role of supply contractors

of the police...

...department, Home Minister's

wife Sarla...

...Pandey is seen taking

bribe worth 20 lakhs.

But he'd said double.

Hope the work will be done fast.

You don't worry!

Assume your work is done.

Our camera has captured every other

instances of open bribery.

They will be made public on Tuesday.

In a press conference

at Media Centre.

There will be an open

debate on corruption.

Is your government taking moral...

...responsibility for this

scam and resigning?

It is the Chief Minister's decision.

As for this scandal, let

the enquiry be completed.

Everything will be clarified.
