Black Squad – Episode 67: "OP: Rakshak"

"Sometimes, truth isn't buried — it's locked, waiting for the wrong hands."

---

[Opening Scene – Rainy Night – Qazi's Old Apartment]

Murshad, drenched, enters the sealed quarters of ACP Qazi. Dust hangs in the air like ghosts of memories.

He uses a master key given by the department after Qazi's death.

He walks past the photos, medals... until he finds a false wooden panel under Qazi's bed.

Inside: a single black file, stamped "OP: Rakshak — CLASSIFIED."

He opens it — pages stained, handwritten, clippings from newspapers.

Key Findings:

Missing undercover officer: Agent Faizan Dar

Operation led by Qazi targeting MLA Naved Parvez, a politician connected to cross-border drug syndicates.

The Architect had ties with Parvez through shell firms.

Qazi never submitted this file officially.

Murshad (low tone):

"You were fighting two wars, Qazi. One inside the system… one outside."

---

[Scene 2 – Black Squad HQ, 3 AM]

Murshad calls a secret meeting. Only Imran and Zoya show up.

Murshad:

"Qazi was hunting someone dangerous. He called it OP: Rakshak. The file is real."

Imran (concerned):

"But why keep it hidden from us?"

Zoya:

"Because he didn't know who to trust."

Murshad places three files on the table.

Parvez: now an influential political figure.

Faizan Dar: last seen in Baramulla, 2017.

Evidence Locker Logs: names of officers who accessed OP: Rakshak data last week — one stands out… Tabish.

[Scene 3 – Parallel Plot – Arjun Investigates Murshad]

Meanwhile, Arjun meets with DCP Shamsher's replacement, DCP Prerna Bhosale, behind Murshad's back.

Arjun (firmly):

"I need surveillance access on Murshad. I think he's spiraling."

Prerna:

"And if he's not the traitor?"

Arjun:

"Then he'll lead me to the one who is."

---

[Scene 4 – Action: Ambush at Dharavi Caves]

Murshad, Zoya, and Imran track down an informant who once worked for Faizan.

Location: abandoned warehouse near the caves.

Before the informant speaks — sniper shot. Headshot. Dead.

Zoya (ducking):

"It's a trap!"

Gunmen close in.

Tense, close-quarters fight.

Smoke.

Murshad takes a bullet in the shoulder.

Imran takes down two attackers with point-blank shots.

Zoya drives a rod into the last one's neck.

Imran:

"They were protecting something. Or someone."

They find a phone on the dead shooter.

One message:

> "RAKSHAK MUST NOT WAKE UP."

---

[Scene 5 – Murshad's Dream (Flashback Style)]

Murshad, unconscious from the wound, dreams.

He sees Qazi at Marine Drive, sitting calmly on a bench.

Qazi (in dream):

"You're walking a road where everyone is masked, Murshad. Including yourself."

Murshad (confused):

"I just want the truth."

Qazi:

"Then remember — truth doesn't fear the flame… it walks through it."

Murshad wakes up — drenched in sweat, blood on his shirt. Zoya is patching him up.

---

[Scene 6 – Final Twist of Episode]

Back at HQ, Arjun sneaks into the cyber lab. Plugs in a hidden pen drive.

Accesses footage of Locker Room D.

Pauses. Zooms in.

A figure, wearing Zoya's jacket… but the body posture — male.

Arjun (realizing):

"Someone's impersonating us."

He opens another video — finds Murshad talking to a mysterious masked man in Episode 64 — a moment that wasn't in records.

His face changes.

Arjun (whispers):

"Did we bury the right man… or the wrong truth?"
