Come on.

- Thousands have gathered on the streets

to pay their last respects...

- to beloved Bollywood actor

Armaan Kapoor...

- Yes?

- Hello.

l'm Frenny Mistry...

l live in the neighbourhood...

thought l'd welcome you.

There was no need for this...

Darling, everybody needs cheese cake!

You need any help?

Oh no...

l'm fine...

just some boxes left to unpack.

Call me if you need anything...

l have a number for everything.

Carpenter, electrician, plumber,

anything you need...

l know them all!

Thank you.

l would love some tea.

Of course, please sit.

So, you're alone at home all day...

while your husband is out

chasing robbers?

How long have you been married?

- Milk and sugar?

Yes, dear...

- two spoons.

Hello, Karan.

Hello, lnspector.

Hello.

This is Sanjay...

Armaan's best friend.

Hello.

- Please have a seat.

Thank you.

Sonyaji, we still don't know where

your husband was heading that night...

or why he was on that road.

And the accident?

lt's still a mystery why

he steered the car off the road...

and crashed into the sea.

Sonyaji...

may l ask you something?

Sure.

Was something bothering Mr. Kapoor?

l mean, was he depressed or disturbed?

Armaan did not kill himself, lnspector.

- Why would he kill himself?

Because you can't figure out

what really happened?

Just this morning

my accountant told me...

he had given Armaan 2 million rupees

in cash that day.

Why?

We don't know.

- l gave him the money...

at around 7:
30 in the evening.

- Why didn't you inform Sonyaji

about this before?

Sir, l did try...

but she was in a state of shock,

so l couldn't speak to her.

- Was the money in 500 rupee bills?

No, sir, 1000 rupee bills.

The money was

in a green Puma bag.

But we didn't get

any such bag in the car.

- Didn't you pack

Armaan's stuff that night?

What all was there?

His gym bag...

music system, lunch box...

and...

a bag that the accountant gave him.

A red bag?

No, sir, a green one.

What was in it?

Did you open it?

No, sir, l never open his bags

unless he asked me to.

Sure?

Yes, sir.

Did Mr. Kapoor tell you

who the bag was for?

No.

Has this ever happened before?

Twice.

And once...

about a year ago,

on Mr. Kapoor's instructions...

l personally dropped off

lt's quite close to where...

the accident took place.

Why?

l don't know, sir.

l was instructed to...

give the bag to the receptionist.

- Hello, sir.

What's the problem?

Anand Murugan used to work here,

l want to know his whereabouts.

Murugan?

He was a receptionist here

for 4 years.

Of course!

He quit and...

we haven't heard from him.

- ls it extortion?

- Sir, blackmail seems more likely.
