The man was detained by the Airport Police and then taken to the police station in Andheri.
Evan escorted Celina to the 5-star Taj Santacruz Hotel, where the cost of staying was around 14,000 rupees per day. Though Evan didn't know if the price was justified, he wanted to experience the finer things in life and broaden his perspective.
And so, he decided to experint and live wilfully for once.
After dropping off Celina, Evan called his lawyer, Abhijeet, who had already arrived in Bombay a few days earlier to prepare for the case, to discuss the detained man.
Next, Evan went directly to the police station.
He felt that the matter wasn't as simple as it seed.
First, he felt that this wasn't the work of Suri fans because he had concealed his face with the mask from his ho to the airport. Unless soone had been tracking him closely, it wasn't possible to identify him.
The first attacker claid to be a drugged psycho, but when the police apprehended him, the man appeared fine with no symptoms of drug use.
So, it looked like a preplanned attempt.
Now another question arose, who was behind this person?
Was it really Suri, or soone else?
As Evan entered the police station, he was greeted by a sense of urgency and activity. Officers rushed back and forth, so were on the phone, others huddled over desks with stacks of paperwork. Evan approached the front desk, where Officer Shekhar, who was in charge, gave a brief.
"Mr. Evan," Shekhar greeted him, "I've been briefed about the incident at the airport. We're taking this matter very seriously."
Evan nodded, appreciating the officer's prompt response. "Thank you, Officer. I'm here to assist in any way I can to help with the investigation."
Just then, Evan's lawyer, Abhijeet, walked into the station, his deanor composed yet focused. "Evan, glad you made it," Abhijeet said, joining them. "I've been in touch with the authorities, and they're willing to cooperate."
Evan nodded in acknowledgent before turning back to Officer Shekhar. "Officer, I'd like to speak with the accused, if possible. I need to understand why he targeted and if there are any connections to this incident."
Shekhar nodded, gesturing for Evan to follow him.
"Since we have caught him, all he is saying is that he did this because you are harming Suri Barret."
Shekhar gave a brief report about their findings till now.
They made their way through the bustling station to a holding area where the accused was being held. The man sat slumped in a chair, subdued yet with a hint of defiance in his eyes.
Evan approached him cautiously, trying to gauge his intentions.
"Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" Evan inquired, keeping his tone calm yet firm.
The man looked up, his gaze eting Evan's for a mont before averting his eyes.
"Go ahead," he muttered, hoarsely.
"Tell , why did you attack ?"
"Answer him, otherwise you will face third-degree treatnt," Shekhar shouted from the side.
The man shivered a bit and spoke, "I did because his bastard family harassed my Goddess. Assholes like him should die and be fried in boiling oil in hell.'
'What the fuck?'
Evan scread inwardly and looked at Officer Shekhar, "Sir, is this guy a maniac?"
"We investigated his background. He dropped out of school at the age of 12, has been fined for breaking traffic rules and drunk driving, but we haven't found anything shady, nor is there any dical certificate indicating his ntal illness."
Hearing this, Abhjeet's eyes narrowed and he signaled sothing to Evan and Shekhar.
Shekhar then stepped forward and slamd a stick on the table.
"You claim to be a fan of Miss Suri. Then na one of Miss Suri's films."
"Girl of Chaos...One Night of Love, a hundred days of woes..." the man stuttered.
"Do you know just those? Say more...since you are a big fan of hers, you must know at least 10 to 15, right?"
"Th...That..."
The man's lips quivered for a mont. He tried to co up with so more movies but... except for the recent two, he didn't know any other.
"You don't even know her hit movies, yet you claim that you are her die-hard fan. Stop bullshitting and tell who ordered you to do this," Evan demanded, probing for any information that could shed light on the motive behind the attack.
With this, he completely cut Suri off the scene. She no longer needed to do anything that might vindicate her, leaving his parents as the only ones who could be behind this.
These fuckers were capable of doing anything. Maybe they planned to use this pawn to harm him and then use so other ans.
Evan had already been tracking those two smartphones, but he hadn't uncovered their insidious plan, which ant they had a secret number and bank account.
"There is no one behind . I did it on my own accord," the man replied.
"Shut up!" Shekhar roared fiercely and then looked at Evan.
"Leave this bastard to . There is a hint of conspiracy that could even harm the big actresses. I am sure the Senior officials won't let this go," saying that Shekhar looked at the man with a grin.
"As for you...I will make sure that you rot in the prison for at least two years."
Before leaving, Evan bent to the man and whispered while Abhijeet pulled Shekhar, giving him a set of instructions.
"I don't know who gave you the guts to do this, but do you think they'll really clean your ass? Believe , it's already good that they don't clean you to death.."
The man shivered for a mont and gave Evan a horrified look and was about to say sothing when Shekhar gagged him.
With an evil smile, Evan eyed the man and spoke coldly, "You don't need to na the preparator…I already know that person…Just rot and die here with those false hopes."
"Hmm….Hmmm….Ahahah!"
The man wanted to speak, but Shekhar stuffed a gag in his mouth, choking the man, eliciting a thumbs up from Abhijeet.
After the brief interrogation, Evan thanked the officer and his lawyer before leaving the station, his mind swirling with unanswered questions…
'It's those two….with no way to get out, they even resorted to this.'
Evan felt his heart burning with anger with an inexplicable emotion.
On his way, he saw Abhijeet contacting soone, " Evan, we should publicize this matter. We can draw public sympathy and improve your image. At the sa ti, it will also deter people with ill intentions against you."
After making so arrangents, Abhijeet looked at Evan, "Sir how will you go?"
"I will take a taxi."
"Don't bother. I will give you a lift."
Evan nodded and followed Abhijeet to his car. It was an Audi A4, which impressed Evan.
"It's a nice car…I wish I would have one…" Evan muttered.
"I am sure you will, maybe more than just one," Abhijeet chuckled, observing Evan's gaze.
Taking a seat, Abhijeet stared at Evan for a mont and spoke, "Evan, I have a simple suggestion."
"From the interaction, I can sense that you have an inferiority complex. Not in the negative sense, but you are underestimating yourself."
"Believe , when I say this: soone in your position who has reached this point, you are one of the best n of your age. You should be more proud of yourself and be more confident."
Evan paused for a mont, then burst into laughter.
"Thanks, sir. I will rember your words."
