COLLEGE, BENOY’s CABIN

ETF reached in Benoy’s cain. Benoy took out a photo album, with his left hand, he was not using his right hand. The album had the trio college photos. Benoy told them 20 years ago, Gattu and Raghav were participating in grant Paris, it was competition on water theme, and the winner would get a chance to go to Paris for 3 years. Raghav won it and Gattu was very angry with this fact.

As Ayesha and Arjun walked out, Ayesha received a call and said out loud Gattu’s adress. She informed Arjun that Gattu reserved a ticket on his name for Frankfurt for the next day.

Gattu told them he was a way more better painter then Raghav. He then took them in his gallery, he shew them his 3D painting on the floor, it was pit. Gattu shew them his painting for competition.

RAGHAV’s HOUSE

Arjun took there a person and made him pose the way Raghav was hanged. As Shree asked the reason behind it, Arjun told him that person who killed Raghav wanted to give a message. The frame, and the person hand in it, it was like a 3D painting. All they had to fo wa to look from the right angle.

After observing a bit, Arjun realized what it was. The trick of Qutum Minhar was used, the way people tok photos were it seemed the Minhar was in their hands.

Seeing from the right angle, Arjun saw a rock and in painting a hand, he asked Shree to see if there was blood on it and there was beneath it.
They put the pieces together, He concluded that Raghav smashed someone’s hand. Shree added on sea-shore.

Arjun thought for a bit and said it was Benoy, since he never used his right hand, confirming his doubt by seeing the party pics.

Arjun called Ayesha and told her to find out Art college was under which local police station and check there if Benoy lodged a complaint against Raghav. Before Ayesha could say anything, Arjun ended the call.

Ayesha told Rathod that Arjun was a nice cop yet mysterious. She added that Rathod must knew him as they are friends. Rathod went in flahback: Arjun and Rathod were jogging, when Arjun stopped Rathod brought cutting chai for him. Arjun declared Rathod to know him so well.

Rathod came out from his past and said he did not know Arjun. Ayesha said that he knew Arjun a lot more than he shew. Rathod told her to focus on the case.

LOCAL POLICE STATION

Rathod told Arjun that Benoy made a complaint against Raghav in June 1990 for smashing his hand, but Gattu testimonied that Raghav was with him the whole day. Due to that the case was CLOSED.

Arjun told Rathod to go at Benoy’s house and catch him as he was near the house.

BENOY’s HOUSE

Ayesha an Rathod found out that Benoy also applied for the Grant Paris but had to drop out since his hand was smashed.

GATTU’S PLACE

Benoy came there and told Chotu, who was guarding there, that he had soome proofs to give them. He asked Chotu to help him open the car door, as he got an opportunity he hit on Chotu’s head, making him faint. He entered in the house and caught Gattu.

Rathod and Ayesha reached there, He left Ayesha with Chotu and entered in the house. He saw Gattu as well about to be hanged. Rathod stopped him but Benoy hit a bottle on Gattu’s head and took out a lighter.

He said he tried to forgive everything, when Raghav called him now for his party he thought maybe he wanted to apologize but he did not, he was the same egoistic person, instead he insulted Benoy.

He came back at home but could not sleep, he thought to take revenge, he went back at Raghav’s house, he found Geeta was there, so he waited till she left. Till then he painted, as Geeta left, he made some noise to wake up Raghav and to come in the studio. Then he hit n his head and hung him.

Arjun also came there and said that he already punished Raghav, he should forgive Gattu since he only gave wrong statement.

Benoy told them that they did not know the whole truth. While Raghav was smashing his right hand, Gattu was holding his legs. They were drunk yet conscious enough to know what they were doing.

Arjun told Rathod to go out and close the door, Rathod followed Arjun’s instruction. As Rathod closed the door, Arjun threw down the shelves, breaking the bottles, which caused gas in the room.

Benoy was about to lit the lighter but Arjun told him that if he lit the lighter Benoy and Arjun would die as well, Benoy’s art would be never recognized. Benoy gave up and Arjun took the lighter.
