32. Jilani jumps to death

CHAPTER 32

Jilani jumps to death

The face of Jilani drawn by the computer designer appeared on TV and in news papers. One artist came to meet Ram. He showed the photo in the news paper.

Artist said, “Sir, a man with the same face is staying in a complex near my shop.”

Ram was shocked. “Come sit down.”

Artist sat down.

Ram asked, “Are you sure that it is the same person?”

“Yes sir. The face is same and yet it is totally different. I am a computer designer and can show you on the computer.”

Artist sat at a computer and made some changes. He drew a swami with vibhuti, long beard and a saffron cloth. He had a birth mark on his face.

Artist said, “Sir, I was able to recognize him only because of the birth mark on his face. His name is Mauni Baba. He does not talk to anyone. He came to the complex 2 months ago and always wears saffron clothes and vibhuthi on his forehead. People prostrate before him whenever he enters or leaves his room. He stays alone in the room.”

Ram looked at the face. “Yes. It is him. That bastard Jilani in disguise.”He looked at Aslam. “Aslam let us go.”

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

The jeep stopped in front of the complex. Ram and his men got down. They were in civil dress. Artist pointed from his shop to the room on the 4^th floor.

“Room no. 402.”

At the same time, Jilani was looking from the room window. He became suspicious as he saw them look towards his window.

Ram entered the complex and talked to the security. “Who stays in 402?”

“Mauni Baba”

“Is he upstairs in his room?”

“Yes sir. He went up just now.” Said the security.

Ram and his men went up.

Jilani opened the door to escape. He was shocked to see Ram and his men coming up. They tried to catch him. He ran up the stairs. They ran behind him. He went to the water tank and climbed up. He stood at the edge threatening to jump.

Jilani said, “If you move one step forward, I will jump down.”

The men stopped.

Ram said, “Surrender yourself.”

Jilani said, “I will never surrender in this life. You will never catch me alive to make me talk. I am Jilani.”

He removed his saffron clothes and wiped the vibhuti on his forehead.

“This saffron dress gave full protection in this country. I live for Jihad and I will die for Jihad. I have done a big job. I am satisfied. I have successfully carried out the science blast.”

Crowd of people had gathered in the street below. They watched the drama shocked. Ram moved forward by 2 steps. Aslam was moving to cover him. Jilani observed everything.

Jilani said, “I am giving you one minute. You can shoot me down and be satisfied. I will count till 10.”

He counted from 1 to 10 and then jumped shouting ‘Jihad’.

Ram and his men ran to the edge and looked down.  “The link is broken. If we had caught him alive, we could have known who the main person is.”

Ram and his men went to Jilani’s room and searched around. They found a book on Bhagwat Geeta. Inside the book they found a book on Jihad. They got CDs on Jihad. But they did not get any valuable information about his boss.

Aslam said, “Sir, this wing is a very dangerous outfit. Their leader is a very intelligent person.”

Ram nodded. “Yes. But we will catch him one day. I have a wonderful weapon which I will use to catch him. We have to prepare that Madani tomorrow itself.”
