Masters

Yes, my dear Kurup

Though relieved from the case that cheap girl made me lose Rs18,00000

l wouldn't have felt so bad if there actually was

...something explosive as the newspapers made out

This was like having a full meal and yet remaining hungry

l am right now traveling the Kottayam-Kattappana route

Rememberthat doctor who examined me...

...and certified that such an incident never happened?

Yes, Dr Kurian George

l am on way to stuff 3 lakhs down his throat

Who the hell is that?

Yes, dude His house is in Kottayam

But he is not there now

He's gone to Kattapana to some forest on a hunting trip

Yes with this, his quota will be over Who the hell is that?

Listen Kurup, l will call you back later Disconnect now

Who the hell is swearing like this from behind?

lt's a lady

Lady? How did you guess?

Look at this

Let me see

Santhosh, those hands are quite youthful

l too thought so Max 25 years

Look man, allow her some space

But boss, then she will just drive away

Fool, don't give her enough space to overtake

She's parallel to us...like this

Let me see her 1st

Then l shall decide whether to allow her to overtake or to drive alongside her

Oh! So that's your idea Now l understand

Come on get her nearer l say

Slowly

Hey! You don't need to look at her, okay?

Santhosh, she's quite a gal, man She appears to guess what l want

lsn't it a well known fact, boss that in such matters luck is always with you

Go alongside as close as you can

Hey baby, coming here? Or shall l come there?

Excuse me

Sir, she has identified these ornaments as belonging to her daughter

Abdul Haji's son, Yousuf of Kodivalappu

Since the prosecution has failed to provide ample proof to support the charges

...filed against the defendant

...the court hereby releases the accused unconditionally

Moreover, the destitute women centre

...which had been shut down following police raid

...as well as other social organizations run by the accused with good intentions

...the court is fully convinced about authenticity of such activities

And so gives him full freedom to continue heading such organizations in future

The lPS officer investigating this case does not have sufficient years in service

The enquiries in this case and many procedures

...from the police has been totally one sided

The court finds the over enthusiasm and lack of experience...

...of the enquiring officer as reasons

Acting on the basis of a mere newspaper report without proper evidences...

...damaging the reputation of the accused who is also a social worker

...situation of the enquiring officer in such circumstances is truly unfortunate

The otherfactor that has caused the court misgivings...

...was the irresponsible and inconsiderate manner with which media has behaved

A reporter without ethics, if he wanted can for some period at least...

...make a person a criminal in the eyes of the public

This case is a perfect example

Listen Mila, l did not...

Dude, he mentioned reporters in general Your name was never mentioned, was it?

Don't utter another word

Mentioning my name too would have totally satisfied you, isn't it?

l jumped and acted on your words which has made me hear all this today

l am very sure, my dear lawyer that Yousuf and his brother Yakub...

...will be responsible for my death

Hey man! Journalism is not for utter cowards like you

You should stop all this And go do some job which is much safer

- My job is not like yours - How can you say that?

Hey stop it!

This is like the squabble of a couple who've come to a family court for divorce

What's over is over Let's go in for an appeal against this

My foot! There is not going to be any appeal You try reaching home, my dear lawyer

Let me also go before the next rains

Actually this appeal should be... Okay, no...

Shree!

What's it my friend?

That fellow's stance on the bike appears to be a little abnormal, dude

l just remembered an important file for tomorrow's case

l will be back with it soon, okay?

After bringing this upon our heads now don't you dare laugh!

You lt was you alone at fault

Yes lt was my fault

That's exactly why l say just go and retrieve your vehicle bravely

That fellow will not be able to do anything to you

Go l'll be near my jeep

l will go only after you leave

Give me that key, Yakub l am busy

l will

Just stretch out your right hand l'll give it to you

Wasn't it this hand that wrote all that stuff against my brother?

So l have decided to take this hand for myself

You can eat drink and wash yourself with just 1 hand here after

A single hand is more than enough to write about criminals like you and your brother

He's gone Now what will you do?

Yakub, our issues should not be solved here

Let me know when and where l shall come there

That is not enough, Mila

l want you on these court premises and that too, today

l found the working space too little here So l thought l'll park the jeep outside

lt's our duty to look after public property

Yakub, don't ask for kicks from boots the government has authorized

Go, chop up a goat and give your brother some soup

His body was roughened up by police while in custody

Can never say when he will fall

Shreeramakrishna!

You are about to be paid back for everything you did to my brother

Hey Mila!

He left with his bike as soon as the fight began, sir

Who is it?

Who is it, l say?

You nasty cur!

You never called even once to find out if l was dead or alive

lsn't that why l am watching this news channel continuously

Take away the knife, dude

lf something had happened to you will there not be flash news saying...

Asst Superintendent of Police Shreeramakrishna injured?

lf l hadn't interfered in time there would've been

...some other news scrolled across

l think, with this the 1st suspension order is ready for me

The Superintendent of Police wants to see me tomorrow, wonder what will happen?

Born under the 27th asterism and with Venus's fantastic influence

...remember l had once stated that till your 34th year you'd lead a blessed life?

Yes, l do

What did you reply then?

lf Venus was this bad then what would be my fate under Saturn?

When l got your suspension order yesterday at noon

...l felt what you said that day was true

But l was convinced of the power of this asterism along with Venus...

...when l got this envelope last evening

There was a meeting yesterday to discuss the internal affairs of our state

The Central Minister at Delhi asked our State Minister for an explanation

Regarding a car that exploded in a bomb near Elappara 2 days back

...in which a business man and social worker Balagangadharan was killed

Though our minister managed with whatever information

...he had, the Minister in Delhi was not at all satisfied

He has insisted on a condition regarding the investigation of that case

He wants only you to take up further investigations

Me? What do you mean, sir? How does he know me?

That is the suspense in this matter

Balagangadaran's nephew is amongst the most trusted staff of the Central Home Minister

Ayoung blood like you He was the one who recommended your name

He made the Central Minister request for you very strongly

lt is that order in this envelope

Why do you look disinterested?

This Balagangadharan who you claim is a businessman and social worker

...has another claim to fame which you have left out

He was a chronic womanizer

He was recently accused in almost 3-4 cases of molestation

That l know So what?

His character as well as his atrocities in business and politics has earned him

...many enemies at the top levels

Not only that, donning this uniform l can't nab a 3rd rate character like Yousuf

Think of my fate tackling big shots like them under the pretext of investigation

But this Balagangadharan case has so far not revealed the presence of big shots

You would have come to know through media broadcasts

Daksha Das a 23 year old engineering student committed that murder

She also died in the explosion

Balagangadharan's driver Santosh in his dying statement has said

...that Daksha, with precise planning had deliberately committed this murder

But we have not been able to establish any relationship or vengeful motive...

...between Daksha and Balagangadharan

lt is this point of the case that l feel is most thrilling

l understand what you mean But l...

Shreeram, this is notjust a cat and mouse game

...like the others you have handled so far

l am sure this will be a different experience for you

All details of this investigation including the dying declaration of Santhosh...

...is here in this file Anyway, all the best

Right from Mundakayam that girl was right behind us

When we were near Elappara boss asked me to allow her to come alongside

Finally when there was not enough space and both cars were traveling parallel

...she waved her hand at my boss and pressed the buttons of the remote control

Then an explosion That's all l remember

What is your opinion on this?

What opinion could l possibly have? At least he's gone without suffering anymore

That itself is a great blessing

That's not what l meant, dude The question is, where should l begin?

With Balagangadharan or Daksha Frankly, l am a little confused in this

l knew when you called me desperately that you had some new conflict

Haven't you had enough getting me into trouble, Shree?

Haven't l told you many times that when you are with me

...l have immense confidence

But l don't feel the same

l have told you after the Yousuf case to go your way and leave me to mine

l am preparing an article on the problems launderers' face during rainy season

Likewise l shall spend the rest of my life writing stuff without troubling anyone else

Please don't harass me anymore

Go

l don't need your help anymore to investigate this case

l have started my investigation with a very precise plan

l have a list of people who are

...Balagangadharan's enemies in business and politics

You just wait and see

l will haul up every one of them however big a VlP he is

Then you are in for trouble

My dear Shree, stop being impulsive and

...start dealing with matters after analyzing it
