Story: Chapter 1: The Dark Night Begins
The night is deep.
The mell of unknown fear in the air.
The lamps are flashing in the deserted streets of the city. A car or two is running now and then, and somewhere in the distance there is the sound of police sirens. It seems, this city is hiding something. Waiting in the dark for an explosion.
Gaibanda headquarters In an old one-story house, the light is on.
Inside sits Sameer Khan, a secondary school teacher. Fifty-something years old, light clothes, thick-framed glasses. A book is held in the hand, but the eyes are not stuck there. Looking out the window again and again.
His wife Madhuri came and sat beside him.
"You are not saying anything. Why do you keep getting up at night and looking out the window?"
Sameer slowly said,
"A thought stuck in my head. I saw something on the way home from school today. I don't quite understand—but my mind says it's not normal."
Madhuri remained silent for a while and said,
"That boy… Tapas? Are you thinking about him?"
Sameer shook his head and said,
"Yes. His family is good. But today I saw him taking a small packet from a stranger. Hidden. There was fear in his eyes."
Madhuri said,
"You're always a good-hearted person. But we can't go on worrying about everything. To be good these days, you have to pretend you don't see a lot."
Sameer smiled a little and said,
"But I am a teacher. If I am silent even when I see wrongdoing, what will I teach the students?"
After this, there is nothing more to say.
The night is restless.
Story: Chapter 2: Seeds of Doubt
The next day, Sameer went to school and called Tapas.
"Tapas, where were you yesterday evening?"
Tapas says in a trembling voice,
“Sir… I… I went to the store.”
Sameer directly says,
"I saw you take something from a man. You were scared. Tell the truth."
Tapas remained silent for a while and lowered his head.
"Sir, I will. But please don't tell anyone. They are very bad people. They scared me into taking those packets."
Sameer's face turned pale.
He said in a serious voice,
"Who are they? Who else is involved with you?"
Tapas pressed his finger to his mouth—"Sir, they say, if I tell anyone, they will kill my parents."
Sameer closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.
then said,
"You shut up, but not me. I can't accept it."
Sameer went to the police station after school that day.
He made a diary and told the whole incident to Inspector Akram.
Akram listens attentively, says-
"Sir, we will find out. But be careful. These chakras are very dangerous."

Sameer noticed that every day a black car stopped in front of their house. He stood for a while and left.
One evening, Madhuri removed the curtain of the room and saw that the car had come again. There are some strangers inside it. Sunglasses in the eyes, body structure is heavy. Suddenly there was a banging at the gate of the house.
Madhuri screamed—"Sameer! Close the door!"
Sameer was reading a book at that time. He got up and locked the door.
People kept banging on the door.
Madhuri kicks Rahul and Riya out through the back door—
"Come on, go next door. Call somebody! Don't be afraid!"
Three masked men entered.
They caught Sameer, held a knife to his throat and said-
"If you call the police again, your children will not be found."
Sameer said coldly.
"You don't know who you've come to frighten. A teacher never compromises with injustice."
Outside, Rahul-Riya is running to the neighbor's house.
Neighbors are gathering with flashlights, mobiles, sticks.

"Cover yourselves! No one can escape!"
The masked people realized that they had no more time.
A neighbor, Farooq Shaikh, said—"Are you here to scare the teachers' families? Your education will begin now."
People surrounded the house from two sides.
Masked people are handcuffed.
Police officer Akram came and said-
"Sir, as you said, they are not just intimidating, they are running the entire drug business through fear."
Rahul and Riya ran to the house next door. At first two or three people looked in shock, then Rahul said,
