What do you want?

- Cheeku be careful!

Are you hungry'?

We should keep the units on standby,

but not deploy them.

We should search the kid..

Like he is an ordinary

business man's son..

And not the Home Minister's.

So that's your strategy?

I am sorry, sir.

But there is no strategy yet.

We need half an hour to

absorb and filter the information.

The basis on which to act

will decide our strategy.

We will need to setup a central command

office right here at your residence.

Not at the North block.

We may have information

leaks from there.

I will need a team,

which I will personally handpick.

Whatever needs to be done,

we'll need to do it together.

Exactly!

Nachiket, I am giving you a free hand.

I want Rohan. I am not interested

in inter-agency politics.

Thank you, Mr. Home Minster.

It is better if the decisions

are made by one person.

But we can decide on a

strategy to find Rohan together.

That is, if he is still in captivity.

This is the Jungle Your Highness.

You have been running

in circles for half an hour.

Did you ever get off your car

to walk this long?

You will tire yourself!

Come along.

Morning.

Hello..

Anything yet?

- No, sir.

Status?

- All the units are on standby, sir.

He is a terrorist.

That is why there

is no ransom call yet.

Who would dare make a ransom

call to the Home Minister?

Who is dealing with the opposition?

- Mr. Nimbalkar.

Mr. Jogi... you can make

an issue out of this saying.

He couldn't protect his son,

hovv will he protect the country.

But we are all vulnerable in a crisis.

Right now we are very

disturbed and sensitive.

So avoid raising this issue.

Else you know how low

we could stoop.

You do, don't you?

'Long live India'.

Jogi has been tackled.

- Very good sir.

Who is handling the media boses?

- Mr. Ramasvvamy.

In the interest of the Nation.

Neither confirm the news

nor state that it's a rumour..

The Home Minister was never under

any terrorist threat.

Still ask him to speak to

the PM of Pakistan for any chatter..

From his so called non-state actors.

This is not how terrorists operate.

They would have stormed the

school and abducted the kid.

Shock and awe.

They are hungry for publicity.

Could it be some political rival..

- No ways!

Dogs don't eat dogs.

- Right!

That Dog! V\/hom the boy was licking.

What about the dog?

No, the boy.

- Make up your mind, boy or dog?

Maybe the kidnapper came

to abduct the other boy!

Mistaken identity!

You are making a mistake.

You have no idea who I am.

You had probably

come to abduct Cheeku.

Even an eight year old

knows what 'Power' is.

Who should, or should not

be kidnapped.

Do you know who I am?

I know who you are.

You are the Prince, aren't you?

You bloody kidnapper!

I still have Cheeku with me.

Look.

My men are holding him captive.

One phone call and they will kill him.

"Please Spidey, save me!"

"Save me Spidey!"

"Save me Spidey!"

Now cooperate for

the sake of your friend.

Or I will take you back to the School.

Should I take you

back to the School?

Come, I will take you

back to the School!

What do you want?

I will handle my demands.

You just cooperate.

Okay now, go to sleep.

You won't do anything to me, right?

Good touch - bad touch!

I know those things. I am not a kid.

What did you say?

Good touch - bad touch..

Quiet! Where did you learn all this'?

We never thought of

such things at your age.

I am more embarrassed

than you are!

Imagine who is feeling embarrassed.

Didn't you feel any

embarrassment while kidnapping me?

You better not be sleeping

anywhere near me at night!

Q Kay-

We have been circulating

Rohan's picture in the Police.

Should we distribute some

amongst our party-workers?

Have you guys lost it?

Didn't I tell you... No overt

arrangements, no Red Alert, no Press!

If the kidnappers panic,

the boy will lose his life.

We will lay the trap smoothly.

You mentioned they might

have abducted him by mistake.

They will let him

go when they realize it.

Do you think they made a mistake?

It is best that they did.

People forgive when

their kids are abducted.

They take it to be

their fate and endure it.

But if they find out that

the Home Minister's son is abducted.

They will take it to

be a law and order failure.

People don't expect Rulers

to have commoner's fate.

They will stop respecting

the Government.

Is that an lpad Air?

I thought it wasn't launched here.

When people buy things before you,

bad times are around the corner.

For whom?

- For your kind.

Anything to eat?

- Why didn't you spare any?

I kept telling you all morning.

You will get to eat when we leave.

When will we leave?

Soon.

Had you been someone else's son

we could have stayed here for days.

But like you said,

you are the Home Minister's son.

So we will have to leave soon.

I understand sarcasm very well.

Don't talk to me that way.

I don't like it.

You thank your God

that I am simply talking.

I am surprised at myself

that I am just talking.

If I were to really go ahead and do

what I am itching to do your highness...

Okay fine.

I was just.

Don't say a word right now,

be quiet for sometime.

This childish tone hurts me... here.

Pierces me here.

L..

- Shut up!

Not a word.

Not a single word. Quiet!

Sir he had long hair..

He was very weird..

He was going to setup a cart.

Do you remember

anything else about him?

Any other features.

Maybe a cut on his face.

Yes, sir. He used to limp.

Maybe he had polio.

Sir, sketch.

Hide the photo,

someone might see it.

Who is he anyways?

I was making a fast buck out there.

We are uselessly posted here.

Kidnappers don't take

their captives to bus stands.

Don't even think about it?

- About what?

Think about Cheeku before

doing anything stupid.

Look... - One phone call

to my men and Cheeku will...

Look, you're still alive.

If you try to run, I will shoot

the police first and then you.

And then I will press this

button and jump in the crowd.

Everyone will be blown to bits.

You are a suicide bomber?

Only in an emergency. Come along.

Only Swatantra TV managed this CCTV footage

from Dehradun's Champion School.

Because only we show you the truth.

The naked truth.

If everything is fine..

Then what was the Joint-Director

of OBI, Nachiket Verma looking for?

He was looking for Rohan.

Our News is verified.

The Nation is being kept in the dark.

The only one who dares

to speak is Swatantra TV.

Ramasvvamy,

why wasn't Swatantra TV stopped?

L-low did Sanjay Jagtap find out'?

Put pressure on him.

Let the kid sit on your lap.

- I am not a kid.

Son, move on to your dad's lap.

I have paid for the full seat.

But...

- Please go away!

Do I look like a beggar?

Then stop begging-

He said he is not a kid.

I have always bought a full ticket

for my child. I meant for Him..

Him..

Okay fine.

Him..

Mostly checking farmhouses

in and around Dehradun.

We searched for known gangsters,

suspects and their hideouts.
