Sub Inspector Daya

"Boss, we've checked the details, and Tees Maar Khan is still in Paris. The Paris government is in the process of signing legal documents with the Indian government for his extradition. So, for now, Tees Maar Khan remains in the custody of the Paris police," Vikas reported to Raj.

I had assumed that Tees Maar Khan would already be in India planning his heist, but it seems I was mistaken. In the movie, they depict the Paris police handing over TMK to the Indian police at the airport after capturing him. However, in reality, such legal procedures between governments take months, and I overlooked that aspect. So, it appears that the movie plot has not yet begun. This gives me some extra time to plan ahead.

"Vikas, keep me updated. You can go now," Raj said, dismissing Vikas.

"Boss, one more thing, there is an SI ( Sub Inspector ) waiting for you in the hall," Vikas added before leaving.

As Daya entered the room, he greeted Raj, "Oh, so you're here, Mr. Raj Nair. I've been waiting for you in the hall."

Upon seeing Daya, a notification rang in Raj's head, suggesting that he had found the destined child. Understanding the significance of the notification, Raj remained composed. "Inspector, please, have a seat. What can I do for you?" he offered.

However, Daya seemed preoccupied, standing with his hands in his pockets and scanning the area, observing the heavy security around the farmhouse even as he entered. This indicated that the person he was dealing with was powerful and likely had a significant amount of money at his disposal.

Ignoring Raj's invitation to sit, Daya continued, "Mr. Nair, my name is Daya. I was transferred here just two days ago, and I am leading the case involving the recent killing of Jaidev's brother, Krishna, at the Vishaka Hospital," he stated confidently.

Raj responded, "Everyone is saying it was done by Jitendra, and there are witnesses too. What's there to investigate?"

Ignoring Raj's questions, Daya asked, "Do you have a license for your security carrying these kinds of guns?"

Understanding the delicate nature of dealing with destined heroes, Raj knew he had to tread carefully. These heroes often get easily offended and can wreak havoc on villains and their empires. There were numerous instances in movies where powerful villains like Politicians, or International Dons, Drug lords offended heroes only to meet their demise at the hero's hands. Raj knew he had to handle this hero cautiously.

Continuing in a more friendly tone, Raj said, "Brother Daya, there must be a reason you came here. Can you tell me what it is? As for these guns, we can discuss that as well."

As Daya observed Raj's polite demeanor, a smirk crept onto his face. Respect and money were the two primary reasons he joined the police force. Seating himself in front of Raj, he began, "Brother, do you know that the killer is not Jitendra? The killer was wearing Jitendra's mask because Jitendra was at a different location. I have also found out that the person who entered the hospital lift and then Jitendra exited from the lift was the same person. We found out that only one person entered the lift at the beginning and exited at Krishna's floor. The same person exited the hospital later after Krishna's death. It was captured on camera." Daya smiled at Raj as he revealed this information.

Hearing Daya's words, a realization struck Raj like a bolt of lightning. He had made a grave mistake. Right now, he was mentally cursing himself for his oversight. His brain started racing as he considered how to handle this situation. Should he kill Daya now and deal with the consequences later? But Daya seemed calm and polite; if he wanted to arrest Raj, he would have brought backup. There must be something Daya needed. Raj decided to remain calm and assess the situation before taking any action.

Raj remained composed as he addressed Daya, "Brother, I know you're not here to arrest me. If you wanted to do that, you wouldn't have come alone with just one constable. You must have something in mind. Just tell me what you need."

Daya responded, "Brother, I appreciate smart individuals who grasp the situation quickly, but I'm curious, how did you overlook those hospital cameras?"

Raj cut to the chase, "Brother, just tell me how much my mistake is going to cost me."

With a smile, Daya responded, "For keeping the secret, silencing the monitoring guard at the hospital, and ensuring my constable stays quiet, there's a price. Considering the security measures here, I know you're capable of meeting it, brother." Pausing for a moment, he added, "As for the video footage and keeping mum about the guards with guns, 10 crore is my fee." Daya maintained his smile as he spoke to Raj.

He then continued, "Do you know how Jaidev is? He killed Jitendra yesterday as well. But I can't do anything to him as there is no evidence or witnesses, and he is somewhat popular among the people." Indicating that he would give this info to him he did not comply with his demands.

Raj, determined not to repeat the same mistake, and confident in his ability to recover his money from Daya, instructed Vikas to hand over the money to him.

Raj, determined not to repeat the same mistake and confident in his ability to recover his money from Daya, decided not to engage in conflict with Jaidev for the time being. He instructed Vikas to hand over the money to Daya, as he didn't want to take any unnecessary risks at the moment.

After Daya left, Raj instructed Vikas to gather details about him and check if he had any extra copies of the video footage. Raj didn't want to take any risks. Currently, he was amused, holding the video footage CD in his hand after checking if it was the right footage, he destroyed it.

In the police car, Daya counted the money. Pointing at his constable, he said, "Look, Murthy, this is how money is made. Yesterday it was Waltair Vasu, and today it's this Raj Nair."
