However Anant refuses to release the three men
and even refuses Rama’s offer to join him. On another occasion, a man lodges a complaint that a local thug has been a harassing women in his area. Anat arrests him, but soon gets a call from his superior Haider Ali asking him to let the man go as he is the local MLA’s man. This frustrates Anant and he looses his faith in the system. Meanwhile the MLA asks that Anant be suspended. The latter is then asked to meet a mediator named Desai, who has connections and lets the matter quietly slip away.
