A muslim guy in his thirties, brings a wet cloth near Mohan and squeezes it on his face. Mohan suddenly reacts and comes to his senses. He gets up and looks at this man, trying to search for an answer.
“You should not be here, my boy. It was Allah’s wish that you survived today. Where is your home? Let me take you there. My name is Zubin…”, the man said.
Mohan felt a little relieved at his kind words but preferred to not take his help. He looked around in the house that he had been brought to, searching for the exit. Before Zubin could proceed, Mohan got down from bed and went straight out of the house. He ran and ran, looking at the burnt houses in agony. He wanted to go his own home to see if his parents were alright or not. But as soon as he reached his home, he saw huge crowd wailing and weeping around the garden. Mohan got closer, only to see dead bodies lying on the ground. They were of his own parents. They had been brutally stabbed to death by the muslims. Mohan had lost almost everything today and he felt like he had departed his own family at the time of need. Shattered by the fateful turn of events, Mohan felt like ending his own life. He begins to run away from his own home and decides to kill himself by jumping into the river on the other side of his mohalla. But just when he thought he could get rid of his life, somebody catches him and pulls him inside. It was Zubin again. Mohan pleeds to him to let him go and end his life, but he is not allowed to. He shouts and cries and keeps yelling in anger and pain. But no luck. After sometime, he faints and goes back to unconsciousness. Zubin makes him comfortable on his bed and thinks how badly he has been scarred for life.
Zubin is actually a member of a terrorism cell in Ayodhya and works for Indian Mujahideen. He has been involved in some minor bomb blasts against Hindu community and is a wanted person by Indian Police. Due to this Babri masjid incident, there were many Mohans who had been left alone with feeling of revenge and anger. He considered it as an opportunity to recruit such people and make them spread terrorism against the Hindus.
Zubin starts to take care of Mohan but makes him quit school. He teaches him on his own. But his education was just a medium to brainwash Mohan and make him believe in religious disparities. He trains mohan’s mind to believe that muslims have always been mishandled and suppressed by Hindus. Mohan soon starts believing everything Zubin teaches him and becomes a vulnerable kid who could now be easily molded into a budding terrorist. This is what Zubin intended. He takes Mohan with him and moves to Mumbai to introduce Mohan to the rest of his gang. Mohan joined the other trainee terrorists and soon begins to relate himself with the others.
Years go by. It is 2002 and Mohan has become the master mind behind many blasts in Mumbai and around the nation. He is now a renown name in the world of terrorism and is one of the most wanted people. Zubin is his second hand and Mohan considers him as his own father.
All through these years, nobody had seen Mohan since the childhood incident. Mohan never came into any police records, nor anybody knew his real identity. He was never caught on camera and hence, he was able to discreetly do his business without any fear of being caught.
Raghunath hindu temple in Jammu and Kashmir has been hit by terrorist groups and Mohan is the mastermind behind bomb blasts there. Almost 50+ Hindu devotees killed in the attack. As always, Mohan and his crew did not leave a single clue regarding the attack. J & K police is deeply angered by this. There had been lots of chaos between the religion communities and people had started to mock at the police at their failure in tracking down the terrorists behind it.
“We have started our investigation in full flow. Have patience and trust in us. We will soon track down the responsible people behind these attacks.”, said Kamran, the CBI inspector at one of the press conferences.
“Sir, we have heard so many fake promises from past police inspectors regarding the case. Do you have anything concrete or real in your hand or not?”, said a reporter questioning Kamran’s comments.
Kamran looked at him in anger, just when he tried to answer back – his phone rang. This was important. He excused himself out of the room and took this call. After listening to the person on the other hand, Kamran came back in the room with a feeling of confidence in his face. He took one of the mikes and shared loudly, “Yes my friend. We have something real in hand this time. And I promise you, we will get the mastermind behind bars within few weeks!”.
As Kamran finished, there was a hustle in the room and everybody started asking questions if they have any clue regarding this case. Kamran politely requested them to end the conference and left for his CBI office.
Kamran had been actively working with CBI to uncover terrorists from IM (Indian Mujahideen) and he had also had some big breakthroughs. But Mohan was always cautious of his actions and made sure he was never backtracked. But now after years, Kamran finally got something.
This time, Mohan left a clue. Was it genuine or intentional? This was the question. A highly secretive CBI operations team had been assigned the case and after a couple of days of examination, it was verified that one of the security cameras in Raghunath temple captured Mohan’s face – the mastermind behind everything. They verified his face against all the databases around the nation and his identity was discovered as ‘Mazhar Abbas’.
Kamran congratulates the team on their first breakthrough after years. The team begins to discuss about how they will reveal the information to the media without causing any chaos. But Kamran stops them.
“We are not going to let this go out of this room. Not unless I am dead.”, Kamran clarifies.
Shabbir, who had been leading the operations team asks – “What? why so sir?
“This mastermind is only a tip of the iceberg. If we have to get to the complete terrorist cell which he is leading, we have to make him believe that he is not in danger. We will prepare a set-up for him to catch his over networking partners and hence eradicate the whole cult that he started”, Kamran explained himself. The team gets confused by his statements. But after explaining the blue-print of his plan, Kamran convinces the team and later the CBI management to give a ‘go’ for the operation.
Kamran decides to do detailed research on him. Any bill, any papers, any record by the name Mazhar Abbas was searched in records. They tried to back trace the records to find any living connection with him. And through many months of investigation, the team finally finds about Mazhar’s past and about his long departed love, Megha. Kamran thinks that the best way to create a set-up for Mazhar is from someone who he never expects to be alive in the first place. Hence the team begins searching the history of Megha and tries to get pics of hers. Now begins the search to find a girl who would look exactly like what Megha would look today. And this would lead to the next phase of their operation.
After months of screenings, Kamran finally finds someone who resembled like Megha. A reporter, Aakanksha Singh, from a daily news channel. She fitted the bill for a face like Megha and Kamran hires her on their secret operation.
