BLACK SQUAD – EPISODE 95

Title: "The Fall of the Logician"

Genre: Legal Crime Thriller / Psychological Drama

---

COLD OPEN – 2:00 AM – MORGUE, MUMBAI

A forensic report is being typed.

The screen shows:

Case No. 4321: Dhiraj Nene – Died in Police Encounter (2021)

Suddenly — the screen is closed by a gloved hand.

Cut to: A woman files a petition in court.

Her voice:

> "My name is Anika Nene. My brother was murdered by Imran Wani. This wasn't justice. This was execution."

Fade to BLACK.

ACT 1: A PERFECT STORM

Scene: Sessions Court, Mumbai

Imran is summoned for unlawful killing during a 2021 operation, before the Black Squad was formed.

The victim: Dhiraj Nene, a reputed cybercriminal accused of child pornography and blackmail.

The case had been closed as a justified encounter.

But now, Anika presents new evidence.

Charges Filed:

Section 302 IPC – Murder

Section 365 – Abduction

Tampering with digital evidence

Imran is placed under house arrest. The media attacks.

---

ACT 2: THE EVIDENCE THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST

Anika's lawyer: Advocate Kunal Rawal, a brutal courtroom tactician.

He presents:

Metadata showing Dhiraj was in custody 3 hours before the encounter FIR says.

CCTV from a traffic cam showing Imran's private car used that night — not a police vehicle.

Imran's personal laptop had a folder on Dhiraj — full of pictures of victims.

Imran says nothing in court.

---

ACT 3: THE SILENCE THAT SCREAMS

Qazi and Arjun are disturbed by Imran's calm.

Qazi:

> "Why aren't you defending yourself?"

Imran:

"Because… what if they're right?"

In flashback:

We see how Imran hunted Dhiraj.

How he broke protocol.

How he found a video — of a girl from his home district in Kashmir.

He snapped. Brought Dhiraj in quietly. Confronted him.

And when Dhiraj laughed in his face, saying:

> "You think you're justice? You're just another wolf."

Imran shot him.

---

ACT 4: THE MORAL GREY

Reet and Zoya look into Dhiraj's case files again.

They find deleted server backups with unreleased footage — showing victims, including underage girls, brutally abused.

Imran had found this earlier.

He didn't tell anyone.

Why?

Because he knew the system would let Dhiraj walk — his political links ran deep.

And Imran made the call.

---

ACT 5: TRIAL DAY – THE CONFESSION

Imran takes the stand.

Says clearly:

> "Yes, I killed Dhiraj Nene. And I did it because I knew no one else would. I broke the law. I made a judgment. I stand by it."

Silence in courtroom.

Then — a twist.

Qazi brings a classified order signed by then DCP Shamsher Singh:

> "Dhiraj Nene is to be taken into custody with extreme caution. If resistance is shown, Lethal Force is Authorized."

Backdated. But valid.

Combined with Dhiraj's brutal evidence cache — the judge declares:

> "The court absolves Senior Inspector Imran Wani of all criminal liability.

But it cautions him. For justice must never be personal."

---

EPILOGUE – IMRAN'S DESK

He returns to HQ.

Everyone claps. But Imran doesn't smile.

He takes off his badge. Places it on the table.

Arjun:

> "Leaving?"

Imran:

"No. But for a moment there… I almost became the criminal I was chasing."

Qazi replies:

> "That's what makes you different. You remembered. That's why you'll always return."

They walk out — three trials survived. A squad reborn, scarred and purified.
