PART 8

The rest of the morning passed in an unsettling blur.The arrested men were thoroughly interrogated,rankled for every nuance of information though without any considerable success.

Apparently the men were just puppets in the hands of their boss,a man whom nobody had ever seen except his close compatriots.They were just goons for carrying out orders much like servants.

ASR's frustration mounted as the time flew by.He was in his worst avataar,a ruthless monster.

Many men nearly passed out in a state of nervous collapse by his brutal interrogations.The man gave Hitler a run for his money.

At last Chota Mayappa was called in.

ASR stared at him coldly as he entered.

''Aha....so you too are here Raizada!''he leered evilly.

''Of course!I've to here to give a taste of hell to a nutter like you!''he said through gritted teeth.The browns of his eyes blazing.

''Still the same arrogance....the same ego!....You haven't improved a bit.....Basking in the glory of your momentary success,are you?Because it won't last long.He'll clip down your wings!''Mayappa laughed maniacally.

Akash inched closer to his brother,eyeing the duo apprehensively  as they both glared at each other as if wishing nothing but ill health for the other.

''Bark as much as you can mongrel.I don't care!''ASR growled,shifting forward in his chair.

Mayappa's smile changed into a cruel sneer.

''You've very high opinion of yourself,don't you?But you know what,you are a looser just like that prying,good-for-nothing father of yours Mallick!!''he spat through his teeth.

Nobody really saw or rather anticipated it coming.Suddenly a chair crashed on the floor as Akash stood up clenching his fist,looking murderous.

''Enough!''he yelled and strode forward to grab Mayappa by a fistful of his hair .

''Enough of your nonsense,you sick man!Now if you know what's good for you,them you better tell us all about your boss.''Akash growled,holding Mayappa by his hair.

Akash had unmistakably noticed the momentary flicker of anguish in his brother's eyes at Mayappa's words.He had always seen him suffer,battle with his horrible past.He couldn't bear to see him hurt and that filled him with ire.

ASR and others were shocked.Despite being ASR's brother,Akash was known for his equanimity and patience even while deealing with criminals,yet now his stood shaking with anger.

Akas took out his gun and aimed it at Mayappa.

''Now you better spill the beans old man!''he spat.

Two hours later Mayappa was locked in his cell.Though theu still hadn't got much of a lead on the mastermind of the racket,they had gotten enough information on godowns that were used to store drugs and prominent members of the notorious nexus.

The game had begun........

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The darl world of criminals was taken by a storm.Never before had so many arrests been made on a single day.

Media nearly went wild,flashing the news with increased frenzy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

''Several arrests were made and two were shot .......''

''Huge consignment of drugs recovered from.....''

''ACP ASR and his team have taken........''

His ire mounted with every passing second.

''TO HELL WITH YOU ASR!''he yelled,his voice reverberating eerily in the dark.

He threw his gun on the TV screen,shattering it into hundreds of pieces.

''I'll have to do something!''he resolved solemnly.

ACP Arnav singh raizada has become a pain in the neck.....
