Idhu Thanda Police -

"Twenty-five thousand rupees," he said. Then, without a change in expression, he slapped Durai across the face with the wad of cash. Thwack!

Vikramaditya stood up. He looked at the crowd of terrified fishermen, shopkeepers, and auto drivers. Then he looked back at Bose.

Vikramaditya said. "Not the one who hides. Not the one who takes money. The one who comes for you, even when you own the world. This is the real police." idhu thanda police

The crowd stood frozen for a second. Then, Murugan—his arm still in a sling—stepped forward. He looked at the cuffs on Bose's wrist. Tears welled in his eyes. He raised his good hand and clapped.

"From Bose sir," Durai grinned, showing gold teeth. "For your relocation expenses. Back to the city. Tonight." "Twenty-five thousand rupees," he said

"Sir," Shanmugam whispered, pulling him aside. "That's Bose's men. We don't touch them. There's a… system."

Inspector Shanmugam almost choked on his betel nut. "Sir, but this is a small station. We don't get ACPs here." Vikramaditya stood up

He walked up to Vikramaditya and smiled. "ACP. I've heard a lot about you. You're a man of principle. I respect that. Let's be practical. There's a by-election coming. I need my men. You need a transfer to a good department. Let's make a deal."
