The Day The State Split Asunder - 57

Karthik reached the HBN-7 Channel office upon Vineetha's request. He decided to give Sanjana some space to think about his proposal. He called Vineetha from the reception desk. She asked the receptionist to escort him to the discussion room. The receptionist then guided him to the discussion room.

'Vineetha! Why did you ask me to come?' Karthik asked. 

'We should plan something more. Swami uncle has become old. He cannot get new ideas. So I thought maybe we both can discuss what we can do together to bring down Dhyaneshwar and his empire.'

'Before we do something, we must perform a background search.'

'I already performed it. Rajath's mother passed away two years ago because of pancreatic cancer and also he has a beautiful wife Akshara. She is very talented and also runs a firm Godavari Capital Advisers.'

'Come again! What company did you say?'

'It is Godavari Capital Advisers.'

'It means my friend Adarsh received funding from Dhyaneshwar's firm? That means Akshara is the daughter-in-law of Dhyaneshwar.'

'But Akshara is known for her social work. Unlike her husband, she runs a trust helping orphan children and also sponsored many poor students for their higher education. I don't understand how she married that idiot Rajath. Even Rajath is not happy with the marriage?'

'How do you know that he is not happy with the marriage?'

'If he is happy then why will he have an affair with the heroine Nakshatra. Rajath was the producer for the movie in which she acted.'

'I got an idea. Do you have any proof which can help us in exposing Rajath's affair?'

'I don't have anything as of now.'

'Then there is only one thing possible.'

'What is that?'

'We need to hire an informer.'
