ACP Ajay Singh Rathod
- Ajay Singh Rathod: [Catching up with Mukesh Rishi outside his house upon returning from office] Salim ? Yeah, tell me.
- INSP. Salim: [Handing over the files of Pradeep Rawat and associates as ordered earlier] Nothing much Sir. Just wanted to handover these details of the case as I was instructed this morning.
- Ajay Singh Rathod: [Still desiring Mukesh Rishi work with him] Is it your final decision ?
- INSP. Salim: [Expressing his anguish] Who am I to make decisions Sir ! A key witness in your custody is killed in broad daylight and nobody raises a decibel. But I am penalized for the actions based on the limited information I had ? Why ? Just coz I am a Muslim. But in your case, you're a Hindu, an IPS officer, son of a reputed father.
- Ajay Singh Rathod: [Coming to facts] IPS officer ? Son of a reputed father ? Do you know my father,
- [pointing to Akash Khurana on the staircase]
- Ajay Singh Rathod: there he is. He can't speak. And no need for any sympathies, it's fine. Who did this to him ? He won't be able to tell you.
- [Pointing to Sukanya Kulkarni]
- Ajay Singh Rathod: That's my sister-in-law, she's a widow. How did she become one ? Do you know I was selected to become an IAS officer. Could've lived a life of luxury. But I declined. And I've put in back breaking efforts to be an IPS official. Coz I want each and every such perpetrator who did the same like he did to my family to be standing in front of the law begging for his life. Why, coz it's a matter of my household ? Absolutely NOT. It's a matter which affects my nation at large
- INSP. Salim: [Responding with understanding but still bitter about his treatment] It's not of mine ?
- Ajay Singh Rathod: [In a concealed angry voice] Perhaps it isn't. That's why you're running from your responsibility. And if it comes to protecting my nation irrespective of the cost, I don't need a Salim.
- [Walks into house as Mukesh Rishi leaves the scene]
