Scammed By Shadow

Chapter I: Introduction

How could she do that?

She was bewildered to find...

Being an army officer, she needed somebody to hold her up.

Going through a betrayal is not easy!

Sreshtha Mahajan, a leading air force pilot. Having tons of dreams and hopes to achieve all of them. But discovering a case has made her restless and dumbstruck. But a strong sense of falseness from someone dear made her stumble…

She enjoying her holidays together with her family sounds picture-perfect, isn't it?

This happiness was unfortunately a piece of bad news for her. Because destiny had designed other plans for the day…

Who knew that her happiness didn't have a long life? Her day broke into pieces, as her ecstasy took a dramatic makeover into a curse of fate.

Terror overcame her, she wished that this was just a nightmare but her mind couldn't escape the grip of reality…

But soon this terror led to something more massive! Her hands took the form of fists, sweat emerged from her head…

What could be the source of her aggression?

What got into her skin and shook her to the core?

Chapter II: Opening Up The Top Layer

Curiosity must have filled your organs till now!

A notification that transformed the scenario drastically…

She received a message from her retired trainer asking something which gave her a shock from her head to her toes…

Purna Bhardwaj 

Message 1: Need 70 lakhs urgently. Please send or you'll see me dead, Sreshtha.

Message 2: I am kidnapped…

But why was she kidnapped?

After embracing the role of an army officer, she knew that not all glitters are gold.

Purna and Sreshtha hadn't met for 3-4 years...

She closed her eyes, recalling Purna's voice and realizing this wasn't how Purna used to talk. After all, she had spent almost 3 years with her trainer!

She sensed something fishy, but had no evidence; it could feel quite insensitive of her for not sending the sum of money…

So, putting all of her suspicious alerts aside, she decided to transfer the money.

It happens that just before Sreshtha was about to transfer the amount another pop-up notification halted her trail of endless assumptions and apprehensions.

A news article written by a trusted journalist, made her head stumble!

He alerted people about the new scam that had hit the plebeians, this fraud was being conducted by a foreign organisation named Dark Syndicate International!

After reading this, she found herself being sucked into a hurricane of scamming!

But now, she started to take this case seriously, this was the last straw. Now, she could not hold her temper…

Her assumption wasn't that wrong after all.

She had to act slyly now! Her awareness was the sole thing that could save her.

Sreshtha Mahajan

Reply 1: Don't worry Aunty, I will send help to you soon. My bank balance is currently low, would definitely send aid...

"This work needs some expert investigation", these words unconsciously oozed out of her mouth…

But since, this incident she started to become more alert…

Chapter III: Penetrating for Clues

She surely required somebody to assist her!

After all, this was about her cherished trainer...

A cousin was the exact person Sreshtha wished for at such an alarming time.

Arjun Mehta, a young psychologist, proved that experience is no obstacle when passion drives you forward!

Though he had graduated just a year ago, he could open a new thinking perspective for Sreshtha...

So, the folks began their study and came up with different terminologies...

After hours of hard work and toiling they reached a conclusion, post-researching they found out about Purna's Neighbour, Mahesh Patnayak.

He must have been a kind and giving neighbour.

He had been mercilessly murdered!

Shockingly, Mahesh's dead body couldn't be recovered by their folks even...

Soon, Sreshtha and Arjun were terribly exhausted!

This Research Expedition was on the brink of driving them crazy...

But out of all sorts of perplexedness, they both assumed that the assassins could have kidnapped Purna!

They still needed a couple of more intimations...

Chapter IV: Deciphering the Truth

Sreshtha was sitting on her Sofa, recollecting her thoughts about this Scam and Arjun enthusiastically joined her...

He unknowingly switched on the TV and intended to watch some news.

But their jaws dropped after watching the headlines!

Sreshtha's trusted journalist was killed!

Many people were saying that the murderers were from the Dark Syndicate International!

But Arjun and Sreshtha knew the story at once. Did You?

Both knew that this was not their victory, they had to rescue Purna!

But another message made them revise their thoughts...

Purna Bhardwaj

Message 3: We are from the Dark Syndicate International... Either give 70 Lakhs or see Purna die!

Message 4: We'll send the address, come and give the Ransome.

This sentence truly sheds light on their plan, leaving no room for doubts!

Time was ticking, they had to be quick!

Chapter V: The Rescue Mission

Sreshtha took her gun and her ID as she dashed into the police station, ready for action.

She approached the police inspector, Kekayi Ramakrishnan, and urged her to take immediate action. As a passionate civil servant, she knew how to bring out the best in dealing with criminals.

Arjun whispered their plan to her and thus began the thrilling rescue mission. They carefully planned an ambush, with the police forces surrounding the territory. The tension was palpable as they closed in on the two murderers, Abhyuday and Satya Raj, and soon it became clear that their game was over.

While Kekayi and Sreshtha confronted the criminals, Arjun managed to safely escape with Purna.

Chapter VI: Safe at Last

Purna was now safe, she had been indebted to Arjun and Sreshtha...

Kekayi was already surrounded by impatient reporters and an amused public.

At last, The Dark Syndicate Scam had been tackled.

Still thinking?

Well, Purna was kidnapped by Abhyuday and Satya Raj because she had asked the journalist to expose the Dark Syndicate International and because he did, he had to die and Mahesh also died while stopping the Murders to abduct Purna.

The intense standoff and the teamwork involved in taking down the criminals called for every ounce of their bravery and tactical skills.

It was a heart-racing and dramatic sequence of events, underscoring the dedication and courage of these individuals in the face of danger.
