19. Terrorists are tortured

CHAPTER 19

Terrorists are tortured

Ram reached the temple. Press, doctors, etc had already arrived. Bodies were lying with white cloth over them. The people surrounded commando Ram.

Collector said, “Mr. Commando, you followed the terrorists. Did you manage to catch them?”

Ram said, “Forgive me sir. But they got away in the crowd. They came in the guise of Brahmins.”

Chief commando arrived.  “Mr. Ram, how did this happen even when such an alert commando like you was sent here?”

Ram was very dejected. “Sorry sir. We had metal detectors at all entrances. Our commandos where everywhere. But they came in the guise of Brahmins and brought prasada with cyanide. That terrorist who planned it must be a big criminal.”

Intelligence officer said, “Our IB intelligence had informed us that a very clever criminal has entered India. It must be his job. We don’t know how he looks. We are trying our best to catch him. He remains in the background.”

Chief said, “We don’t know where he will attack next. We have to be alert.”

IB intelligence said, “We will keep giving you information regarding that, sir.”

***********************************************

The hands and legs of the two terrorists were tied and high force water was made to fall on them. They shivered.

Ram said seriously, “Tell me your names. Your background.”

They remained silent.

Ram said, “I suppose you were trained not to open your mouth. But I will not leave you. I will burn you.”

He looked at his assistants. “They will not open with water treatment. We have to give current treatment.”

The assistants put the terrorists on stretchers and passed current. They shouted with pain.

Ram said, “Tell me where you are from.”

Madani said, “I am from Pakistan”

Pakistani said, “He is lying. Pakistanis would never do such anti-national activities.”

Ram was shocked. “Now I know the truth. He is from Pakistan and you are from India.”

He looked at his assistants. “Put this Pakistani in the other room. I will ask this Indian.”

The man took the Pakistani out.

Ram looked at the Indian seriously. “India is your mother land. How can you be so cruel to your own country? Both of you are Muslims but there is such a great difference between the both of you.”

Madani stared at him silently.

Ram said angrily, “Did you hear what he said? They will never do anti-national deeds, it seems. What about you? You are a dog who will bite the hand of the man who feeds it.”

Ram spat at him. “Seeing your face, I can easily make out that you are an Indian and that too from Kerala.”

One assistant said, “Sir, according to the intelligence report, one Keralite has been doing anti-national activities in 3 or 4 names like Madani, Abdulla and Rasheed. It must be him.”

Ram said, “Wait. Let us make him speak.”

Again current shock was given. The man shouted.

Ram said, “Tell me. You are Abdulla, isn’t it?”

The man bit his teeth.

Ram said, “Eh! Already 2 liters of blood have evaporated. If we put shock again, all your blood will be gone. You will die.”

Madani shouted, “Allah ki kasam. Kill me.”

Ram said, “No. I will not kill you so easily. You must first tell me about all those activities you have done. I will cut your nerves one by one and make you tell me everything.”

Again the current was passed. The man became unconscious.

Assistant was worried. “Sir, he is unconscious.”

Ram said, “Put the body in the other room and call the doctor to check.”

The assistant took him out.
