Charu is a bone of contention between Abhay and Yuvaan and she is well aware of this. Currently, she is in no mood of expressing her heart’s desire to her chosen man of interest and is devoted to expose the ill intentions of the manufacturer of the intoxicated drugs created from the pulp of the aquatic plants. On personal front she is highly confused at the extremely changed behaviour of Abhay. He doesn’t spread positive aura and his rivalry with Yuvaan is beyond comprehension. He knows well that Charu is not serious with anybody in terms of building relationship, but still, he harms Yuvaan and tries his best to present him in bad light in front of Charu. 

Charu doesn’t trust Abhay as she has understood his motive is to distract her from the real mission of her life. It is beyond her imagination that being a police inspector, who has responsibility to protect the museum, himself has stolen the Khopesh and is planning to earn money by selling it to the mafia don. What has happened to him overnight? He is not a corrupt person and in solving the mystery of Charu’s past life he has always supported her. May be he is threatened or bribed handsomely to do the illegal acts! 


Charu is sure that Abhay knows well where the don is and is in regular contact with him. She plans to catch him red handed and for this she installs a mini camera in a pen and gifts it to him with a request that he will not keep that away from him as it is a token of love. Abhay gladly accepts it. She is determined to know about his past life too. For knowing his secret, she joins hand with Yuvaan. He too is eager to know why Abhay is betraying his profession. 

He suggests Charu to spy on Abhay and observe him minutely to get his weak and strong points, his habits, interests and mannerism. The best place to get all these details is definitely social media. He is very active on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. He has thousand followers who imitate his style and consider him as their idol. In the mean time Yuvaan will ask the constable of the police station to get the official file which has details of Abhay’s life. She agrees.


She searches Abhay’s profile on social media and is more suspicious when she sees his last seen is one week earlier. She knows how enthusiastically he posts videos and pictures of his gym exercises daily, then why for last seven days he hasn’t posted anything. She zooms his images and in one of his gym photos she notices a tattoo on his chest. She goes through his videos where he is doing rigorous exercises. She notices one of his funny habits - he rubs his nostrils slightly with index figure when someone praises him. She minutely checks his style of holding things, his facial expression while venting out anger or during happiness.


Her entire day is spent watching the camera footage of Abhay’s activities on her mobile phone together with collecting information from social media. She notices he stands in front of mirror many times before going out and presses his face with palm repeatedly. It is unusual as he has never done this in presence of Charu. Suddenly, a clip draws her attention. She finds him holding a glass of water not in the way she has observed in the real life. He is not a lefty then why he holds glass in the left hand. Oh! something wrong is happening, her instinct says. She further finds him in a blue uniform of the underwater factory.


She is alert. Abhay can never arrange that uniform without being the member of that gang. What is his role in the gang as he is a police officer? She calls him and fixes meeting for tomorrow. She makes a list of doubts needs to be cleared. At night she has a nightmare. She is being dragged by a masked man in blue uniform who dumps her in a dark room. She is not blind folded so in dim light she can see one more captive. Her hand is released but still she is unable to move.


She wakes up and is relieved to find herself in her bedroom. She decides to reveal the real self of Abhay and so is well prepared with hidden camera and recorder. She reaches to Abhay’s flat early in the morning. He opens the door and instead of being happy he looks disturbed. He hasn't expected her arrival so early. He is shirtless so feels embarrassed. Charu does not show any discomfort and behaves normally. She is happy to realise that the person in front of him can't be Abhay as the tattoo is missing from his chest. Charu asks if he is ready to question Ruth regarding his connection with the mafia don. 


He replies, “As there is no proof that Ruth is an associate of the mafia don, we can’t interrogate him directly.”

Charu pretends to agree whatever he is saying because her motive is to spend entire day with him to discover who he is in real. She further asks, “What do you think how dangerous can be the availability of intoxicated drugs in the market? Don’t you think we should protest against the manufacturing of such medicines which can control mind?”

Abhay immediately interrupts, “Why do you see only the harmful side of the drug? It is a boon for those who are insane, or mentally retarded. At least by controlling their minds, we can make them productive. This kind of medicines are used by the psychiatrics to know the past troubled life of patients and cure them. “


Charu again agrees. He notices, Abhay is patting his face as if he is ensuring nothing is wrong on his face. She looks behind his neck and notices a slight straight mark- one shade lighter from his body colour. She looks at him lovingly and offers a head massage to him. He allows. While doing the massage Charu touches the mark and is shocked to feel a thin layer of a rubber. Is it a mask? She takes pictures of his neck and back of ears. While applying oil on his scalp she says lovingly, “You need not to visit salon for massage. I shall do it whenever you are stressed. “

“Will Yuvaan like it?” he asks not in a jealous way but in a playful manner. 

Do you dislike Yuvaan because he is my friend ?

“No, I don’t mind this friendship until and unless you’re absolutely mine,” he says casually. There is no fear of losing Charu in his voice. 


Charu checks her list of doubts and is speechless because nothing matches with Abhay. Who the person is in front of her in disguise of Abhay? Where is Abhay? Is he dead or alive? Charu asks for a permission to leave and instantly informs Yuvaan that the person in disguise of Abhay is actually the Don’s man. She follows her instinct and checks Ruth’s social media account. Oh my God! It is Ruth working as Abhay in the police headquarter. She makes no delay and raises an alarm. The chief officers interrogate Abhay or Ruth in real. 


He is out of his wit how his identity is known to all. He accepts that Uncle Vincent and Abhay are in his custody. They are under the observation and are controlled by the intoxicated drugs. The don is trying to make their clones so that his business can be run uninterruptedly. He confesses it is not Abhay but he has stolen Khopesh and in disguise of the cop he is helping the mafia don by clearing his path in running the manufacturing factory of the deadly drugs. His mother Martha is innocent and should be kept out of interrogation. 

The police immediately raid the location of the factory and rescue Vincent, Abhay and other prisoners who are forced to work for the don. The don escapes as his spies inform him about Ruth’s revelation of truth. Abhay thanks Charu for noticing subtle differences between him and Ruth. Uncle Vincent too is grateful to her as he has never known that son of Martha whom he trusts so much because of his mother’s age long loyalty for the Varghese family is a traitor working against the reputation of the family. Charu is delighted for her success and with Yuvaan gets engaged with making a strong, efficient plan to entrap the don. They are not alone as the police force is assisting them. 'The city should be protected from such criminals' is a main agenda of the entire police department.
