“Jayanta? Are you awake ?”
Jayanta was fast asleep in his cozy bed at his house in BBSR. The daytime was extremely hot, and like many others in BBSR, Jayanta's energy level was very low. However, he had finished dinner and was waiting for a reply from Prof. Bhattacharya. The professor was analyzing the appearance of the Blue Rafflesia in real-life photography. Prior to the release of this picture, it was assumed that the Blue Rafflesia was an imaginary plant found in different folklore.
“Yes Sir, I am awake”…Jayanta replied hurriedly. He had just entered the world of dreams and suddenly this disturbance.
“Then come running to my lab. I have something to show you.”..after inviting Jayanta Prof.Bhattacharjee cuts the phone.
Jayanta was shocked but not amazed due to this late-night invitation, as such invitations are common with Professor. Whenever he became extremely excited he invited Jayanta at the wee-hours. So it is assured that he has identified something extremely significant but the problem is he has not divulged about the reason behind his excitement.
However, when your guide calls, it's impossible to ignore it and you have to respond whenever it comes.

“So what have you decided? Whether to leave me alone and allow me to do my research or to continue your “mule job” and spy on me?”.. following a brief interval, the speaker proceeds with their discourse.
“If you choose the latter then I have to make you my guest for the rest of your life and otherwise I will let you go. Many fugitives are living free in our country and abroad. Look for them. Give them some attention also. Why me?”
“Yes, Sir…we understand your problem.”…Raj interrupted the voice. “But we are not the mules you are talking about. I and Rohit are students and although Mr.Gomez is working in the Police Dept doesn’t imply that he is into any type of investigative activity. All three of us are friends and have come to Simplipal to visit different locations of the Forest as a tourist not as a part of any team as you have approximated. So please let us enjoy the beautiful scenery and you people do your work.”.
“That’s what I want also”..replied the voice agitatedly.
“So can we go now ?”..Mr.Gomez now quipped at the voice.
“No..my friend. How can I believe that you will not meddle in my activity.?”
“Do you have any proof that we will meddle in your activity?”
“Oh Ok..You are spot on…OK, friends then you can go away from this place. Just wait a little bit such that I can arrange transportation for all three of you. Other hostages have already been released. But friends please ensure that we are not bothered any further…with this the Voice stopped.
And within 10 seconds the radio blasts along with the speaker.

Do you know who am I?(Advertisement)
The Hubbulu Gangs, led by Chotu Miah, are arrested by the local police after attempting to extort money from a businessman in Shahidnagar. They were initially surprised by the promptness of the arrest and were unsure of their destination. Pandey Ji, the leader of the Gangs, is frightened and tries to find a CC TV recording to determine who threw the object at him. Pandey Ji is informed by the Cyber Cell that the recordings will be delivered within the next day.
Prof. Bhattacharjee is busy reminiscing about the events of the past few days and is searching for a link to establish the reason behind the holographic Tiger being released. He is concerned that the attacks on him and his children are warning him about something. The Simlipal Reserve Forest is experiencing a dark night due to rain and overcast conditions. Many staff members have been sacked due to the incident, and Rusha, the manager of the resort, is increasingly suspicious about the activities happening in the forest.
Rusha is trying to avoid questions about the incident where Ganesh and his acquaintances were killed in the presence of the Tiger. Police have said that they were killed not by the Tiger but by gunshots. Rusha is trying to avoid questions about the incident but is pertinacious. One of the guests, Rohit, asks Rusha about the food Ganesh had while staying at the resort. He is unable to reveal the details due to resort policy, leading to chaos.
The resort's manager intervenes to get the same breakfast that Ganesh ordered. The same guy approaches Rusha and apologizes for his behavior, saying she would understand why it was done.
