27th September 2019, the whole city of Bhubaneswar was covered up by one news, Mr. Alok Saxena; the CEO of the 'Bakhuja' company which was a really popular company famous for producing garments got missing! A really important person like him disappearing without any word would cause havoc but the situation he disappeared was completely strange!

His company was going really fine, no loss at all. He had no enemies as he had lesser to no friends yet he was a reputed man.

The recently transferred Sub-inspector 'Jignesh Tripathy' in Saheed Nagar police station got his first big case due to this. Despite his Gujarati name his roots are in Odisha. Due to some personal problems, the station's Inspector didn't get involve in the case dropping all the responsibility of the case on 'Jignesh'.

After doing some homework on 'Saxena', 'Jignesh' found nothing suspicious on him and in fact he was really good with his employees. No one ever complained against him but while investigating he discovered that 'Saxena's' cabin does not have a single CCTV! His assistant told him that for some reason 'Saxena' never looked at the ceiling or even at the sky as if he had some kind of phobia of looking up! 'Saxena' even told his assistant to not fix any cameras in the workstation yet he fixed a few without his boss's knowledge.

After searching his house 'Jignesh' found a room which was locked from the inside and also found a bill of a gun that he bought some weeks earlier but why did he need a gun so badly that he didn't order it online but went to the shop himself to buy, was a serious question! After checking at the CCTV footage of the gun shop to which 'Saxena' went he found that the day he went to buy the gun, he was in disguise and he bribed the retailer to shut his mouth about him there but the most eerie thing he saw in the footage was that he was constantly looking out through the glass door as if he was hiding from someone and returned to the counter tapping both of his hands restlessly on the counter! A man like him going to a gun shop in disguise, looking out on the streets frequently as if hiding from someone was seriously cooking up something and frequently tapping his hands on the counter restlessly!

After watching the footage 'Tripathy' said only four things-
"Oh
My
Fucking
God!"
