The first move to topple a king
---
Scene 1: A dark night and a white plan
Karan is sitting in his room, surrounded by maps on the wall, newspaper cuttings and plans made with a pen.
He picks up a white chalk, and writes three words on the wall:
> "Janata ka angst"
Then says to himself:
> "To dethrone Bhagwat Rani, you need emotion, not proof."
---
Scene 2: "Fake Flame" - The first seed to incite the public
The next morning, Karan catches hold of a student from his old college — name: Tejas Lokhande
A student who runs a local YouTube channel — obsessed with views.
Karan hands him a script and says:
> "Just read and post this... it will go viral.
And I will give you ₹10 for 1,000 likes."
Video title:
> "City Minister ki bunker yojna me scam?"
Tejas reads it, raising questions:
"Are bunkers really being built in the name of schools?"
"Is the government hiding something from the public?"
"If not, why is Bhagwat Rani not coming forward?"
No proof, no claim — just questions. But the fire has been lit.
---
Scene 3: Social Storm
In 3 days on social media:
Hashtag starts trending: #RaniResign
Memes start being made — "Bhagwat Rani or secret demon?"
People start suspecting every government construction.
One night, Karan hears from an old fruit vendor:
> "Baba, they say Bhagwat ji is getting a mine built on the school land!"
Karan smiles — when a lie comes out of 100 tongues, it becomes the truth.
---
Scene 4: The Whisper Network
Now Karan creates whisper agents — that is, common people, who just spread the word.
In the hostel, a boy says:
> "I have heard that Bhagwat ji has even sold the river water to foreigners."
A customer asks a tea vendor:
> "This minister turned out to be the real villain, brother!"
Nobody proved all these things, but they spread everywhere.
Bhagwat Rani's image had now been tarnished in the eyes of the public.
---
Scene 5: Fire of Doubt — Internal Politics Trigger
Karan now makes another attack — creating a rift in Bhagwat's own party.
He explains to Vedant Vani:
> "Now you don't have to say anything.
Just say this line in the interview —
'I respect Bhagwat ji, but I cannot stop what the public thinks.'"
Vedant says the line.
Bhagwat gets angry in the internal party meeting —
> "That scoundrel is creating a hype against me!"
Two senior party leaders remain silent.
Now Bhagwat starts doubting his own party.
---
Scene 6: Press Conference — A Silent Bomb
Bhagwat Rani holds a press conference —
> "The rumours against me are a conspiracy of the opposition!"
But then a journalist asks:
> "So will you make public all the documents of the school bunker plan?"
Bhagwat goes silent.
He says: "At the right time…"
But the public considers his silence a crime.
---
Scene 7: Karan's last sentence
At night, Karan writes a new word on the wall of his room:
> "Emotion is greater than Evidence."
Then he lights a small candle, and says:
> "Stage Two: Set Fire Without Touching Flames.
The fire will now spread on its own.**"
Chapter 5: "The Unseen Hand"
— Vedant's face, someone else's trick
---
Scene 1: "The City Burns in Whispers"
Public anger in the city over Bhagwat Rani's policies is at its peak.
Press, social media, and even tea shops — everyone is talking.
Vedant Vani has now become a fiery face.
> "I demand answers from Bhagavat Rani!" – Vedant's strong clip is all over the news.
But what no one knows — this speech was thrown in a packet in his hand at 2 am.
Along with it was a letter:
> "Speak up… and go into history.
— T.D. (The Draytone)"
---
Scene 2: "The Real Control Room"
A dirty rented flat, broken window, clipped news pinned to the wall.
This is Karan's war room.
Four live feeds of news channels are running on the laptop.
His three "ghost numbers" on the mobile — no one knows where the calls come from.
Karan says in a low voice:
> "Vedant's face is bright… but I am his shadow.
And no one can catch the shadow."
---
Scene 3: Bhagwat Rani suspects
Bhagwat Rani angrily in her office:
> "This Vedant… is not that smart.
There is someone… standing behind him.
Some ghost… some shadow…"
She tells ACP:
> "Find out… who is behind this."
ACP:
> "We tracked Vedant's phone, some numbers are fake… as if some hidden mastermind is controlling him."
Bhagwat Rani's eyes narrow:
> "So now the real game begins."
---
Scene 4: The Trap
Bhagwat now retaliates —
Vedant's old college scandal is brought up, old matters are circulated in the media.
Public Opinion starts getting confused —
> "Maybe this is all politics… maybe both are dishonest…"
Karan sees — and knows, this is Public Manipulation.
But he stays quiet.
---
Scene 5: "Silence Strategy"
Karan now calls Vedant (via fake VoIP) and says:
> "Now you keep quiet… for 5 days.
Public wants doubts — not clarity.
Bhagwat will speak, we will listen… then we will speak."
Karan now plays on the backfoot… so that the doubts increase further.
---
Scene 6: Unknown, Undetectable
ACP reports:
> "Madam, till now no name, no record, no identity… has been found.
Whoever this mastermind is… he has become our Black Zone."
Bhagwat:
> "Then I will have to fight the Shadow… without seeing the face."
---
Scene 7: Final Words by Karan
It is night time.
Karan looks at the pictures on the wall –
Vedanta, Bhagwat, media, police, money…
He writes a new note:
> "Rule no. 4: The one who is visible is a pawn, the one who is not visible is the emperor."
Then with a light smile he says:
> "The game is not yours, the face is yours.
The words are mine… you are the speaker.
