[Babab96]

Me_ Aftab uncle ke signature? Kyaa Aftab uncle ne papa ke sath gaddari ki thi?

Dadaji_ Yahi sawal uss wakt pure sahar me uthaya gya tha, Jay.

Lakin tumhare pita ne ak pal ke liye bhi Aftab per shak nhi kia.

Me_ Documents per unke signature the, fir bhi?

Dadaji_ Signature dikhayi de rhe the. Iska matlab ye nhi ki sign Aftab ne hi kiye the.

Ye baat 1992 ke end ki hai. Tumhare janm ko kuchh hi mahine hue the.

Nimrit ki maternity leave khatam hone wali thi aur wo service join karne ki taiyari kar rhi thi.

Ussi samay ak subah State Capital ke bade newspaper me front page per khabar chhapi—

“IAS Officer ke pariwar aur political businessman kaa benami land deal se connection?”

Article me tumhari maa, tumhare pita, Aftab aur Nimrit ke pitaji kaa naam tha.

Me_ Nana ji kaa bhi?

Dadaji_ Haa.

Article ke according “Sahyadri Urban Estates Private Limited” naam ki ak company ne Devgarh ke paas 60 acre jamin bahut kam price per kharidi thi.

Kuchh hi mahino baad uss jamin kaa land use agricultural se commercial kar diya gya.

Isse jamin ki value kai guna badh gyi.

Documents me dikhaya gya tha ki company me asli investment Aftab Qureshi ne Rajput Construction ki taraf se kia tha.

Company ke board resolution per Aftab ke signature the.

Ak agreement me likha tha ki project complete hone ke baad profit kaa ak hissa Nimrit ke pitaji ke business group ko milega.

Aur sabse dangerous document wo tha, jisme ye dikhaya gya tha ki Devgarh me posting ke dauran Nimrit ne land conversion file ko favourable noting di thi.

Me_ Lakin maa ne to Farooq kaa project roka tha.

Dadaji_ Bilkul.

Lakin newspaper me file kaa ak photocopy page chhapa tha, jisme Nimrit ke initials aur uski writing jesi noting dikhayi de rhi thi—

“Project public investment aur employment ke liye beneficial hai. Conversion may be considered on priority.”

Ye Nimrit ki original noting nhi thi.

Lakin pahli najar me bilkul asli lagti thi.

Subah Aftab newspaper lekar tumhare pita ke ghar pahucha.

Tumhare pita tumhe apni god me lekar drawing room me baithe the.

Aftab kaa chehra utara hua tha.

Abhay_ Kyaa hua?

Aftab ne newspaper table per rakh diya.

Aftab_ Ye dekho.

Tumhare pita ne article padha.

Manjot aur me bhi wahi aa gye.

Nimrit ne headline dekhi to usne turant tumhe Manjot ki god me diya aur documents padhne lagi.

Abhay_ Sahyadri Urban Estates naam ki kisi company ko jante ho?

Aftab_ Nhi.

Abhay_ Ye signature?

Aftab ne photocopy ko dhyan se dekha.

Aftab_ Mere jese hai.

Lakin mene ye sign nhi kiye.

Abhay_ Sure?

Aftab ne gusse se tumhare pita ki taraf dekha.

Aftab_ Tum mujhse ye sawal puch rhe ho?

Abhay_ Me bus confirm—

Aftab_ Rajput Construction mene tumhare sath banayi thi.

college se lekar aaj tak tumhare har kaam me sath khada hu.

Tumhe lagta hai me tumhari company ke naam per benami jamin kharidunga?

Abhay_ Mujhe aisa nhi lagta.

Aftab_ Fir “sure” kyun pucha?

Abhay_ Kyunki investigation me har sawal pucha jayega.

Me tumhara jawab pahle sunna chahta tha.

Aftab kuchh pal chup rha.

Fir usne newspaper dobara uthaya.

Aftab_ Signature mere jese hai, lakin natural nhi lag rhe.

Ye partnership agreement wale mere purane signature se copy kiye gye hai.

Nimrit_ Aapko kese pata?

Aftab_ Me har document per “Qureshi” kaa last stroke thoda alag karta hu.

Ye bilkul wahi signature hai, jo 1989 ki original partnership deed per tha.

Abhay_ Partnership deed ki copies kaha-kaha hai?

Aftab_ Company safe me.

Registrar Office me.

Bank ke paas.

Aur legal advisor ke record me.

Nimrit_ Matlab kisi ne old document se signature trace ya copy kia ho sakta hai.

Manjot_ Aur Nimrit ki writing?

Nimrit ne article me chhapi noting ko dhyan se dekha.

Nimrit_ Words mere jese hai.

Lakin ye meri noting nhi hai.

Baldev_ Kese confirm karogi?

Nimrit_ Original file dekhkar.

Mene Farooq ke project me priority recommend nhi ki thi.

Mene ownership aur Gram Sabha records verify karne ko kaha tha.

Abhay_ Ye same land hai?

Nimrit_ Location Devgarh ke wahi area ki lag rhi hai.

Lakin company kaa naam alag hai.

Ho sakta hai Farooq ke original project ki land ko alag shell company me transfer dikhaya gya ho.

Me_ Shell company kyaa hoti hai?

Dadaji_ Aisi company jo paper per exist karti hai, lakin uska real business bahut kam ya bilkul nhi hota.

Kai baar asli malik apna naam chhupane ke liye dusre logo ko director bana dete hai.

Tumhare pita ne turant Aftab se kaha—

Abhay_ Company office chalo.

Sare original records seal karne honge.

Aftab_ Tumhe lagta hai security officer raid hogi?

Nimrit_ Sirf security officer nhi.

Vigilance inquiry bhi ho sakti hai.

Article me ak serving IAS officer kaa naam hai.

Mujhe apne department ko khud written disclosure dena hoga.

Abhay_ Aap abhi service join bhi nhi huyi.

Nimrit_ Isliye aur jaruri hai.

Kal koi ye naa kahe ki mene article chhupane ki koshish ki.

Manjot_ Lakin tumne kuchh kia hi nhi.

Nimrit_ Maa, innocence bolne se prove nhi hoti.

Record se hoti hai.

Tumhare pita ne Aftab ki taraf dekha.

Abhay_ Rajput Construction ki sari land deals, bank statements aur board resolutions ki certified copies nikalo.

Aftab_ Aur agar inquiry tak company kaa kaam rok diya gya?

Abhay_ To rok denge.

Lakin ak bhi paper hide nhi hoga.

Aftab_ Media kyaa kahegi?

Abhay_ Jo kehna hai kahe.

Hum documents denge.

Nimrit_ Ak aur baat.

Abhay_ Kyaa?

Nimrit_ Jab tak inquiry clear nhi hoti, aap public me ye mat kahiye ki article Salman, Michael ya Farooq ne plant kia hai.

Abhay_ Aur kon karega?

Nimrit_ Shak alag hai, proof alag.

Aapne hi sikhaya tha.

Tumhare pita ne gahri saans li.

Abhay_ Theek hai.

Ussi dopahar State Vigilance Department ne preliminary inquiry order kar di.

Nimrit ko notice aaya ki wo apna written explanation aur Devgarh posting ke dauran handle ki gyi relevant files ki details submit kare.

Rajput Construction ko bhi notice mila.

Dharmchand Patel per opposition ne aarop lagaya ki uska political strategist government officers aur IAS wife kaa use karke land deals kar rha hai.

Me_ Dharmchand ne papa se distance bana lia?

Dadaji_ Party ke kuchh senior leaders ne use yahi salah di.

Party Leader_ Jab tak inquiry clear nhi hoti, Abhay ko public political meetings se dur rakho.

Dharmchand_ Kis basis per?

Party Leader_ Newspaper me documents hai.

Dharmchand_ Photocopy hai. Original nhi.

Party Leader_ Public perception original aur photocopy kaa fark nhi dekhta.

Dharmchand_ To hum apne aadmi ko jhoothe aarop per chhod de?

Party Leader_ Politics emotion se nhi chalti.

Dharmchand_ Loyalty ke bina bhi nhi chalti.

Dharmchand ne tumhare pita ko phone kia.

Dharmchand_ Party chahti hai tum kuchh time low profile raho.

Abhay_ Tum kyaa chahte ho?

Dharmchand_ Me chahta hu tum stage per mere sath khade raho.

Abhay_ Isse tumhari image per effect hoga.

Dharmchand_ Mera election tumne jitaya tha.

Ab tumper aarop laga hai to me media se darrkar piche nhi hatunga.

Abhay_ Ye personal loyalty kaa matter nhi.

Dharmchand_ Mere liye hai.

Tumhare pita ne use samjhaya ki jab tak preliminary documents clear naa ho, wo public political programs me limited rahenge.

Lakin Dharmchand ne unhe apne political office se remove nhi kia.

Udhar Rajput Construction ke office me Aftab bahut upset tha.

Usne resignation letter tumhare pita ke samne rakh diya.

Abhay_ Ye kyaa hai?

Aftab_ Jab tak inquiry clear nhi hoti, me company se alag rahunga.

Abhay_ Kyun?

Aftab_ Documents per mere signature hai.

Company ko protect karna hai.

Abhay_ Company tumhari bhi hai.

Aftab_ Isi liye alag ho rha hu.

Agar media kahe ki Abhay apne partner ko bachane ke liye records manipulate kar rha hai to?

Abhay ne resignation letter uthakar faad diya.

Aftab_ Abhay—

Abhay_ Chup.

Aftab_ Professional decision hai.

Abhay_ Nhi. Darr kaa decision hai.

Aftab_ Me tumhe aur bhabhi ko apni wajah se problem me nhi dekh sakta.

Abhay_ Tumhari wajah se problem nhi hai.

Jisne fake documents banaye, uski wajah se hai.

Aftab_ Agar investigation me kuchh aur nikla to?

Abhay_ Kyaa niklega?

Aftab_ Mujhe nhi pata.

Kisi old employee ne mera sign use kia ho.

Koi blank paper office se gya ho.

Koi payment mere naam se route huyi ho.

Abhay_ Agar tumne galat kia hai to kanun face karoge.

Lakin jab tak proof nhi, tum mere partner ho.

Aftab_ Tumhe mujhper itna trust kyun hai?

Abhay_ Kyunki tum company partner banne se pahle mere dost the.

Aur dost banne se pahle mere bhai.

Aftab ki aankhe bhar aayi, lakin usne chehra dusri taraf kar lia.

Tabhi Nimrit office me enter huyi.

Usne floor per resignation letter ke tukde dekhe.

Nimrit_ Kyaa hua?

Aftab_ Aapke husband professional matter ko emotional bana rhe hai.

Abhay_ Ye company chhodna chahta hai.

Nimrit_ Kyun?

Aftab_ Inquiry tak distance sahi rahega.

Nimrit ne kuchh pal socha.

Abhay ko laga wo Aftab ki baat support karegi.

Lakin Nimrit ne kaha—

Nimrit_ Formal resignation galat signal dega.

Log kahenge Aftab ji responsibility accept karke bhaag rhe hai.

Aftab_ Fir kyaa karu?

Nimrit_ Daily financial approvals kisi independent senior accountant ke sath jointly sign kijiye.

Relevant records inquiry team ko seal karke dijiye.

Aur company me apni position per rahiye.

Aftab_ Aapko bhi mujhper trust hai?

Nimrit_ Family ke roop me haa.

Officer ke roop me me evidence kaa wait karungi.

Dono bate ak sath possible hai.

Aftab ne dheere se sir hilaya.

Aftab_ Jay bada hoga to use bataunga ki uski maa ne pahli inquiry me mujhe suspect bhi kia aur support bhi.

Nimrit_ Use ye bhi batana ki uske Aftab chacha resignation dekar bhaagne wale the.

Aftab_ Chacha?

Nimrit_ Aap uske chacha hi hai.

Aftab pahli baar uss din muskuraya.

Me_ Me Aftab uncle ko bachpan me chacha bolta tha?

Dadaji_ Haa.

Tum bolna seekhe bhi nhi the, lakin Aftab sabko kahta tha ki tumhara pahla word “Aftab chacha” hoga.

Manjot kahti thi—

Manjot_ Pahla word Maa hoga.

Abhay_ Papa.

Aftab_ Chacha.

Nimrit_ Itni politics bachche per mat kijiye.

Inquiry team sabse pahle Devgarh record room pahuchi.

Sahyadri Urban Estates ki land conversion file nikali gyi.

File ke andar wahi noting page tha, jo newspaper me chhapa tha.

Nimrit ke initials aur writing match karte dikhayi de rhe the.

Vigilance Officer_ Mrs. Thakur, kyaa ye aapki writing hai?

Nimrit_ Writing imitate ki gyi hai.

Vigilance Officer_ Page official file me mila hai.

Nimrit_ File movement register dikhaiye.

Register me likha tha ki original file Nimrit ke office se uske transfer ke 4 din baad Revenue Branch ko bheji gyi thi.

Lakin file ke page numbers me ak problem thi.

Page 42 ke baad seedha page 44 tha.

Jis page per favourable noting thi, usper number 43 alag ink me likha tha.

Nimrit_ Ye page baad me insert hua hai.

Vigilance Officer_ Proof?

Nimrit_ File ke baki pages per punching distance same hai.

Iss page kaa punch thoda uper hai.

Aur official noting sheets per department kaa watermark hota hai.

Iss photocopy me watermark clear nhi dikh rha.

Original page light me check kijiye.

Page ko light ke samne dekha gya.

Watermark tha, lakin year alag tha.

File 1990 ki thi.

Inserted page per stationery batch 1991 kaa tha.

Vigilance Officer_ Ye page 1990 ki file me original nhi ho sakta.

Nimrit_ Exactly.

Lakin sawal hai ki official record room me insert kisne kia.

Record Clerk ko bulaya gya.

Clerk_ Sir, files seal me aati hai. Hum bus shelf per rakhte hai.

Vigilance Officer_ Iss file ko kis-kis ne access kia?

Access register incomplete tha.

Kai entries per sirf initials the.

Ak entry me “Special Review—State Department” likha tha.

Officer kaa naam clear nhi tha.

Me_ Kyaa Raghavan Iyer ne file mangwayi thi?

Dadaji_ State Department ne file mangwayi thi, lakin direct Raghavan ke order per ya kisi junior ke through—ye clear nhi tha.

Nimrit ne turant kaha—

Nimrit_ State Secretariat me dispatch copy hogi.

Har important noting ki duplicate file waha jati hai.

Vigilance team ne State Capital se duplicate record manga.

Waha Raghavan Iyer ke personal indexed section me original noting ki certified copy mili.

Usme Nimrit ne likha tha—

“Ownership contradiction, suspected forged Gram Sabha record and incomplete access-road consent. Conversion should not be considered until independent verification.”

Me_ Raghavan ne copy kyun rakhi thi?

Dadaji_ Usne sensitive forged land cases ki separate indexed copies banwayi thi.

Wahi habit, jo sabko suspicious lagti thi, tumhari maa ko bachane kaa sabse bada evidence bani.

Vigilance Officer ne Raghavan se pucha—

Vigilance Officer_ Aapne ye extra certified copy normal register ke bahar kyun rakhi?

Raghavan_ Normal record me entry hai. Bus storage section confidential hai.

Vigilance Officer_ Reason?

Raghavan_ Devgarh aur Rajput Construction ki alag-alag files me same survey chain use huyi thi.

Mujhe document manipulation kaa suspicion tha.

Vigilance Officer_ Aapne uss samay formal inquiry kyun nhi order ki?

Raghavan_ Direct proof nhi tha.

Original file me contradiction resolve ho gya tha.

Vigilance Officer_ Kyaa aapne Nimrit ko warn kia tha?

Raghavan_ General records-safety advice di thi.

Vigilance Officer_ Abhay Pratap Singh ko?

Raghavan_ Use bhi.

Raghavan ki certified copy se Nimrit per laga sabse serious aarop weak pad gya.

Lakin Aftab ke signatures aur investment documents abhi baki the.

Sahyadri Urban Estates kaa Registrar record nikala gya.

Company ke 3 directors the—

Ak retired clerk.

Ak small property broker.

Aur ak aadmi, Naseer Baig.

Me_ Naseer Baig kon tha?

Dadaji_ Naseer Baig legal documents aur shell companies arrange karne wala corporate fixer tha.

Wo khud bada businessman nhi tha.

Lakin bade businessmen ke liye benami directors, temporary offices aur paper transactions arrange karta tha.

Uska Farooq Mirza ke hotel group ke kuchh agents se purana connection tha.

Michael D’Souza ke accountant ke sath bhi uski meetings record me thi.

Aur Salman Pathan ke transport network kaa ak broker uska rishtedar tha.

Me_ Matlab sab dushmano ko jodne wala wahi tha?

Dadaji_ Wo link tha, mastermind nhi.

Naseer ko security officer ne puchhtach ke liye bulaya.

Naseer_ Me bus registration consultant hu.

Client documents deta hai, me company register karwata hu.

Vigilance Officer_ Client kon tha?

Naseer_ Ak aadmi Sanjay Mehra.

Vigilance Officer_ Address fake hai.

Naseer_ Mujhe nhi pata tha.

Vigilance Officer_ Aftab Qureshi ke signed board resolution tumhe kisne diye?

Naseer_ Courier se aaye the.

Vigilance Officer_ Courier receipt?

Naseer_ Purani file me hogi.

File gayab thi.

Naseer ne direct kisi rival kaa naam nhi lia.

Aftab ke alleged investment cheque ki bank inquiry huyi.

Cheque per Rajput Construction kaa logo aur Aftab kaa signature tha.

Lakin bank manager ne ak important baat pakdi.

Bank Manager_ Ye cheque hamari branch kaa genuine cheque leaf nhi hai.

Vigilance Officer_ Kese?

Bank Manager_ Cheque number series 1991 me issue huyi thi.

Lakin document per payment date 1990 likhi hai.

Aur account number me ak digit galat hai.

Kisi ne old cheque ki photocopy dekhkar duplicate print banaya hai.

Me_ To Aftab uncle bhi clear ho gye?

Dadaji_ Signature forensic report abhi baki thi.

Handwriting expert ne original Aftab signatures aur fake documents compare kiye.

Report me likha—

“Disputed signatures show unnatural uniformity and hesitation marks. They appear to have been mechanically traced or reproduced from a common specimen.”

Common specimen 1989 ki partnership deed wala signature tha.

Me_ Bilkul jesa Aftab uncle ne kaha tha.

Dadaji_ Haa.

Lakin inquiry ne ak aur sawal uthaya—

1989 ki partnership deed ki high-quality copy dushmano tak pahuchi kese?

Company safe ki copy secure thi.

Registrar Office ki certified copies normal public process se mil sakti thi.

Lakin fake document me jo signature quality thi, wo ordinary photocopy se better thi.

Bank ne bataya ki 1990 me Rajput Construction ke loan renewal ke time partnership deed ki ak photographic copy submit huyi thi.

Us loan file ko ak legal verification officer ne access kia tha.

Naam tha—

Anthony Pereira.

Me_ Wahi Anthony, jiska connection Michael D’Souza se tha?

Dadaji_ Haa.

Anthony kaa chhota bhai Michael ke hotel me manager tha.

Anthony se inquiry huyi.

Anthony_ Loan file verify karna mera official duty tha.

Vigilance Officer_ Kyaa aapne document ki copy nikali?

Anthony_ Nhi.

Vigilance Officer_ File 2 din aapke personal custody me thi.

Anthony_ Legal verification ke liye.

Vigilance Officer_ Ussi period me photographic copy kaa negative record se missing hai.

Anthony_ Record room ki responsibility meri nhi.

Vigilance Officer_ Michael D’Souza ko jante hai?

Anthony_ Sahar kaa businessman hai.

Vigilance Officer_ Aapka bhai uske hotel me manager hai.

Anthony_ Isse mera official work corrupt prove nhi hota.

Direct proof fir bhi nhi mila.

Lakin chain clear hone lagi thi—

Partnership deed ki copy bank file se nikli.

Aftab kaa signature trace hua.

Nimrit ki old file me fake noting page insert hua.

Shell company Naseer Baig ne register karwayi.

Company kaa proposed hotel-management agreement Farooq ke business group se juda tha.

Material transport contract Salman ke broker ko milna tha.

Aur fake corruption story publish karne wala newspaper correspondent Rebecca D’Souza ke professional circle kaa aadmi tha.

Me_ Rebecca ne story publish ki thi?

Dadaji_ Original article usne nhi likha tha.

Lakin usne anonymous packet ak journalist tak forward kia tha.

Jab inquiry team ne usse pucha, usne kaha—

Rebecca_ Mujhe documents anonymous source se mile the.

Vigilance Officer_ Source kaa envelope?

Rebecca_ Fek diya.

Vigilance Officer_ Aapne verification kyun nhi ki?

Rebecca_ Mene khud story publish nhi ki. Ak journalist ko lead di.

Vigilance Officer_ Michael D’Souza aapka relative hai?

Rebecca_ Door kaa cousin.

Vigilance Officer_ Kyaa usne documents diye?

Rebecca_ Nhi.

Rebecca per criminal case nhi bana.

Lakin uski professional credibility per sawal uth gya.

Me_ Maria Fernandes kaa kyaa role tha?

Dadaji_ Abhi tak Maria ko iss fake land case ki planning kaa koi pata nhi tha.

Wo Rajput Public Welfare Trust ke women education program me genuinely kaam kar rhi thi.

Lakin Michael kaa dusra plan abhi bhi alive tha—

Maria aur tumhare pita ke professional relation ko personal scandal dikhana.

Filhal corruption case jyada bada tha, isliye usne wo plan rok rakha tha.

Preliminary inquiry ke 3 hafte baad Vigilance Department ne interim report di.

Report me likha tha—

- Nimrit ki favourable noting forged aur baad me insert ki gyi thi.
- Aftab ke signatures traced the.
- Investment cheque fake tha.
- Nimrit ke pitaji ko benefit dene wala agreement legally unverified aur fabricated lagta tha.
- Shell company ke piche actual beneficiaries identify karne ke liye criminal investigation jaruri thi.

Me_ Maa-papa completely clear ho gye?

Dadaji_ Interim report ne unhe major relief diya.

Lakin investigation officially band nhi huyi.

Opposition ne kaha—

“Documents fake ho sakte hai, lakin fake documents banane wala kon hai? Kyaa ye apne aapko bachane kaa internal plan bhi ho sakta hai?”

Me_ Koi bhi kuchh bhi bol sakta tha?

Dadaji_ Politics me bol sakta hai.

Isliye tumhare pita ne press conference me gussa nhi kia.

Wo Aftab aur Dharmchand ke sath media ke samne aaye.

Journalist_ Kyaa aap inquiry report ko apni clean chit maante hai?

Abhay_ Final investigation baki hai.

Interim report ne bus itna confirm kia hai ki published documents genuine nhi the.

Journalist_ Kyaa aap Salman Pathan, Michael D’Souza ya Farooq Mirza ko responsible maante hai?

Abhay_ Mere paas direct proof nhi hai.

Journalist_ Kyaa Aftab Qureshi company partner bane rahenge?

Abhay_ Haa.

Journalist_ Unke signature documents per the.

Abhay_ Forensic report kahti hai wo forged the.

Journalist_ Agar final report me unka involvement nikla?

Abhay_ To kanun action lega.

Journalist_ Aap personally kyaa karenge?

Tumhare pita ne Aftab ki taraf dekha.

Fir kaha—

Abhay_ Sach saamne aaya to jo sahi hoga, wahi karunga.

Lakin jhoothe aarop ke darr se
