Is Any one there?
Who are you?
Why did you kidnap me?
What do you want from me?
Sorry for the trouble
In your air conditioned office room, before your computer
By now you would spend happily working, I am wasting that precious time.
I don't threat people with Knives and Guns.
It's very simple for you to get out from here,
There is a file in this laptop Desktop,
A bank account number will be mentioned in that
Just transfer 2 lakhs to that account
After then the iron cufflink over your legs will open automatically
You can open the door and walk out freely
That's it so simple
and I am waiting for 2 lakhs.
Hey Rahul What happened. I couldn't understand.
Who has kidnapped you
I don't know karthick., Please help
Hey relax., Tell slowly
when I woke up, I was tied here to my hands and legs.
But No one was here in the room.
Somehow I removed the cuffs in the hands.
There are iron cufflinks over my legs
I couldn't remove that even trying hard
Where is your phone? Its not reachable.
Phone, Purse, I don't have any of those
Rahul .., Are you serious?
I am swearing it
Are you hurt anywhere?
No
Why are you given a laptop?
Money is demanded through a video in this laptop only. Have to do online transaction
okay., first of all don't be afraid.
I have informed the Police. My uncle is working in the police right.
Even they are confused about your situation.
I have given your Skype ID.
Make sure your laptop don't loose charge till they contact you.
How much percentage is there now?
88%
Why should you be kidnapped. The kidnapper too not available near you
He is cornering you knowing that you work in IT
I don't have that much money too.
Half of my salary goes on EMIs and remaining goes off on credit card bills.
I have a house, car and costly phone. But nothing is truly mine.
If I lose this job because of recession or automation,
the bank will take away everything
Why are you talking these things now
Pavithra always tells me to save money.
I never heard her words.
You are safe only till you give him the money.
He is planning something thinking that he is intelligent.
He will be caught. You don't get anxious.
I fear because of this only
Hey My uncle will contact you soon in the Skype. I will cut now
What are you doing?,
Who are you?
Very bad response,
Knowing my name, are you getting into friendship with me
Treat this just as a Kidnap, Blackmail and Demanding money
Online transaction through online is not that easy.
ATM card number is needed and OTP will come to my mobile
Where is your cellphone?
Am I a fool to leave your mobile with you.
You do the online transaction and I will send the details to your laptop
Is it Mister. Rahul?
Yes sir
I am ananthram, crime branch.
Karthick told about your situation. How come you are having an internet.
Where is the kidnapper. What is his demand?
He is not near me, He asked me to online transfer 2 lakhs
that's why he has given me a laptop and internet dongle
Are you serious,
because now there are lot people who plays prank like this.
They will put status post in Facebook. If we investigate that we will be fooled
I am swearing it sir
As this is a dongle connection we can track you only with the IMEI number.
From that laptop, can you check that IMEI no.?
Don't know., Most of the things are blocked here,
He even customized the OS
Without removing the dongle , check the lower side of it.
There might be a cap.
, Above or inside the cap, the IMEI no. will be written.
Then how is that place? Is there nobody around you?
I am alone tied in the room.
There is iron cuff lock over my legs. Looks like a electronic lock.
Once I transfer 2 lakhs it will automatically open it seems
How did he tell you this thing, you said he is not around you.
When I woke up, I found a laptop here. There is a video in this laptop.
He told in that only
Online Transaction is not that easy right? ATM card is needed.,
OTP will come to your mobile
Yes I asked about that to him
but he said he will send them to this laptop at the time of the transaction.
When did he say this. Through that video?
No, after that.,
Be clear Rahul, You are alone in that room-
video is the only connect with the kidnapper. Then how is that possible?
When I opened my Skype, He contacted me.
What?,
Then he is monitoring you.
There should be cameras in the room. Or your laptop might be shared with him.
So Be careful when you contact others
Then send me those bank details.
I need more details. Where were you before he Kidnapped you?
How did you get kidnapped
During night I was back from my office driving bike.
In the way, a guy got in the bike asking lift,
after some distance I felt unconscious and vomiting,
I stopped my bike on the road side.
That is all I could recall.
When I woke up ., I am here
Do you remember his face? How is the guy in the video
As it was night time, I couldn't see the face clearly
The guy in the video wears a mask
Where he asked for lift
Near Siruseri toll.,
I went to pub with the friends.
I was little drunk.
Rahul tell me about yourself, your job, your salary
I am working in IT sir, 70000 per month
Then he should have monitored behind your back.
He asks for how much you are capable of.
Then is there any savings?
I don't have my dad now.
All my salary are for my mom and sister.
Else while I was little luxurious
and always half of the money went on my EMI's and credit card
can you bring my mom there and contact me once.
Rahul please don't loose hope.
Tracking your location through the IMEI no., a team will come rescue you.
So don't be afraid.
How much charge is there in the laptop?
See this is a peculiar case.
Even after knowing that you are working in IT,
he has given you a laptop
that too with internet connection
So there should be something more than the money.
Do you want to say me something?
See this please sir
This is serious
Rahul don't be afraid. Our team will come there soon
Rahul, Can I Know the status?
I don't have that much money right now.
You could have said this before itself. Why the time and charge has to be wasted.
Why are you given with the internet.
It is for you to ask your friends who have money. Not to speak with Police.
I think You are not taking me seriously.
See behind you.
But I won't kill you.
My hands are soft. I have a friend who does these things for me.
If you are bored there, I will send you a video.
After watching that decide whether to inform police or to arrange 2 lakhs.
Karthick: Did my uncle contacted you? Rahul: Yes
Don't be afraid., they will be there soon.
Karthick Can you help and arrange two lakhs
Don't speak like a fool,
Would he really leave you after giving money.
Let we try that option too.,
By any chance if the police couldn't come on time?.,
Might he really release after I give the money.
I have never seen his face. It would not be his account as well.
May be it is of the dead man behind.
So he won't get caught that easily
May be., what if he is doing it in a circle .,
He might escape by using the dead person's account.
What if he does the same to you as well?
I'm sorry rahul I didn't mean that
it would have happened the same for the person behind you
No.it didn't happen like that
How do you say that
he sent me a video through the Skype.,
the person lying dead behind me was sitting at my place
He was also pleading others for money.
But before the money came the charge went off.
Suddenly someone from somewhere shot him down.
It looks like it just to threat you.
What about this dead body
It Might be an already dead corpse. May be just a dummy.
He plans everything systematically to kidnap you.,
Why wouldn't he cleaned up after the killing.
Don't think too much karthik. I need the money urgently.
Already I had brought enough debts., Spent a lot for the luxury.
Pavithra always wanted to save a little and it will help in emergency. I was dumb
Karthick can you ask Pavithra to Skype call me.
Okay. I will tell
Rahul are you all right?
No. I am wheezing., can't breath
Where is your inhaler?
He might have taken it
Contact him and ask for it.
It's very simple for you to get out from here.
There is a file in this laptop Desktop,
A bank account number will be mentioned in that if you open it.
Just transfer 2 lakhs to that account.
I am alone tied in the room. There is iron cuff lock over my legs.
Looks like a electronic lock.
Rahul don't be afraid., Our team will come there soon
Srivatsav, switch on the lights.
As usual it is yet another peculiar case.
As many departments are related to this., everyone has come here
Please provide your inputs
Mr. Anil from Crime branch
As online transactions have increased Cybercrimes also have increased.
Cybercriminals have broken the security easily
Crimes have been happening very cleverly
In these credit cards, online shopping, banking
A very important thing in this context
The 'Password'
Always we keep our passwords, in a way which make us remember it easily.
Our name or our parents name., We are setting passwords using these
Now numbers also are asked to be a part of it
the date or month or year of birth., we are adding along
To increase the strength of the password ., the symbols are asked
Most among us use these combinations to set their passwords
Another important thing is
'Personal information's
If a hacker knows personal information about a person,
he can use these password combination to hack their account
Or he can call the customer care
to reset his password using these personal information.
That's we keep on saying not to share your personal information to anyone
But there are many such cases.,
But in this case ., the kidnapper has complete control over the victim.,
By keeping a bug in victim's laptop
whenever the money goes to his account,
What you call, 'mask man' can take away all the money
He is safe only till the money is not transferred to his account
Do you share any of the personal information outside your bank?
In our bank everything is internal
but sometimes to identify the valuable customers
and to make them avail Loans and credit cards
we used to share some details with the third party vendors
Exactly, Here is where the data could have been stolen from.
Else whether some person is using a credit card or not? & details about his salary
how will a cybercriminal will know all these
we can't blame them alone ., Call center employees ., they have their own targets
To fulfill today's demand situation we have share these all
Data theft is happening in many ways today.,
they are showing about this in films too right.,
By calling directly to customers ., telling
them they got prices ., and eligible for offers.,
customers have shared their full details
We are telling each customer individually
please don't share atm pins or any other numbers.,
Everything goes in vain
Even you have brought me so many cases right?
Then what else solution for this
Have separate passwords for bank transactions., Change it then and then
Whether you like it or not ., India is going to be more digitilized in the future
People should better get awareness about it
And we are always there to help you
Sir.., that account of kannan?
I have shared the details to the inspector
Sir. that kannan is a missing case.,
complaint is registered two days before only
Can I freeze that account
No, that may create a suspicion to the kidnapper
Inspector ., Have you got any clue about the mask man?
This mask is not made by normal paper or cardboard.,
Could have made out of plastic or fiber.,
When we searched the few places where these type of masks are designed.,
no such mask were made there.,
But we got a clue about some other person.
A person near sriperumbadur., blind person.,
sulpts using his hand touches alone.,
we got something from him
This is the tactile version of that mask
The mask man should have gone to this person for a purpose.,
We could draw a face approximately using the details given by him
Network Team ., How far you have tracked the Rahul's location.
Where is the rescue team?
This is an old method but effective.
Like every phone., these data cards, dongles will have an IMEI no.
This is like an IDcard.,
Using this IMEI no. only we will identify where is a phone ., data card or dongle
Suppose this is the dongle used by rahul.,
These three are the towers surrounding that
To one of these towers from which the signal
strength is highest, the dongle will connect.
Then today's modern towers using the direction of the signal can
provide a approximate latitude longitude combination., we call it as geo location
But the thing is., this geo location is not like GPS.,
We cannot find the exact location
The geo location which we get might be a street., building or house or an apartment.,
Fortunately ., the location which we got is a abandoned half constructed IT building
We have shared the information to the respective team
Our rescue team is on the way and we have informed the local police as well.
They will reach the spot very soon.
Rahul, did the kidnapper contact you?
Yes, he sent a video like the dead person was shot dead.
He tries to threaten me.
And any other demands.
Only 2 lakhs
You have not sent anything right?
I don't have that much money.
Even If you send, it will risk your life
How much battery is left
Our team will reach before that drains out
However you try to have talks with him .,
Try if you can get any information about him
Most probably he might be a Physio
No, he Is very intelligent
An idiot won't get confused. Much intelligent will become a psycho
Have you ever dealt any case like this before,
Tell me something to give me confidence
Might be some Six months before., we had a different kind of case similar to this.
Even they locked him too alone in a room. But he had a Phone.
He was much terrified. I had only talked...
Finally what happened?
We found his location too using the IMEI number.
It was somewhere away from Chennai.
His name is., ya., Ranjith
'Ranjith'
Don't panic. You should not panic during these situation.
Panicking will be the reason for half the problems. We will reach you soon
'Ranjith'
Got money?
I have asked my friend, I will settle you once he sends
Good
Why are you wearing mask?
Are trying to hide your identity or you are afraid about getting Caught?
Here who else is not masked?
Wearing a coat suit., by speaking English-
he who show himself as civilized could hide a murderer beneath him.
All your luxurious phone, car, house are all the ways to hide your real face right?
But I do have a identity
this mask is my identity.
Might be underneath I have a ugly face or a beautiful one,
or a face filled with scars after several wounds.
This mask is my identity
who are you? why have you kidnapped me, only for the money?
What is your motive? Why should you have this systematic plan to kidnap me?
You should have some story to tell the police right?
Let me tell you my story.
Story of someone like me.
I don't believe in astrology but I believe in Chaos theory.
What ever is happening around us at the time of our birth
may directly or indirectly affect us.
When I was born the whole country was mourning.
My father's favorite political leader was assassinated by bombing.
I don't know about the fate's game, but my father named me by his name.
Very soon I lost my dad
, after which I only used half of that name
and I loved that name.
The same year as I born, the IT sector bloomed in this country.
The IT sector created two different extreme people.
One who got a huge fortune because of it
and the other who is affected of it.
When one is eating in the silver spoon, the other one is starving for food.
Keeping you people as the standard the whole economy has been altered.
Restaurants., Malls, Apartments., Banks, cafes and what more.
The man in hungry can only do two things. Either begging or thieving.
I choose thieving.
Using my talent I do stealing without getting caught.
But You know what ., It was very easy to steal from people like you .,
because you guys were busy showing off what you are earning.
You thought the society status is decided by the salary you are earning.
But Of course here nobody is grandsons of Gandhi
Even if Gandhi is alive today he might not have written 'The experiments of truth'
and must become a person like me.
You speak jealous of I.T industry. You envy us that you can't earn like we do.
You think confession make me any weaker?
I am not a revolutionist who holds red flag and protest.
I am a criminal. An intelligent but a criminal.
If you don't give money, I will kill you .,
Your police cannot even touch the tip of my hair.,
Psycho
Karthick, got money?
I can't get the whole amount from a single person
I have asked with few people, just 30 thousand remaining.
I will send whatever I have received.
Try it soon karthick.,
his motives are very strong if he didn't receive the money, he would surely kill me.
Sure I will
However you search for other ways to escape as well.
I am trying my best
but he has planned it so well.
I don't think it will be easy to escape
Have you seen Hitchcock movies, there is no perfectly planned execution.
There is no possibility of an accurate, perfect, planned murder or a theft.
He might have planned everything properly .,
But sure there should be a minor thing he would have thought foolish
He is genius karthick.
He has openly given me an internet connection
and he is swearing that he won't get caught.
You are not so different right?., Even you are fighting with the computers 24♪7.
Working in your office ., again internet in your home.
I presume he might be testing you
I don't think so
he strongly envy on IT sector. Moreover he needs money.
So he is targeting us.
And you are right, that bank account is not of him .,
, but of the person who is dead here., His plans are perfect karthick
Ok what is that stopping you from escaping out
The iron cuff lock which is over the leg is the only issue
He said there is no key for that ., and that he has control over it.
As soon as he gets the money, the lock will be opened he said
Can't you break it down?
No. I am still trying.
Is there any wire connection to the lock?
No, Nothing like that
Then it must be a wireless one., Its very less probable that its range is far.
I feel he must be very near to you
I feel he would never take such a risk.
Then something which is in your room is controlling the lock.
Hey Karthick he is calling., you wait please
Is the money ready?
No, not yet
Why is it so late?
I said you before, I don't have that much money. I have asked my friends for it.
Rahul You should understand something.
There are so many people who are earning like you but why only you been kidnapped.
Why Only few of you get a call for credit card and loan?
You all are under surveillance.
All your monetary transactions are being monitored.
Everything is data and based on this data Economy
and crimes are happening all over the world.
Tell me something ., do you think the passwords
you use could protect you from thieves like us.
Okay., leave all that... calling from a random number.-
One can even get your salary and expenditure from a single phone
Including you, I have data of many of your colleagues
See Its true I have spent lavish.,
But Everything through debts only.
I have car, flat., costly phone and everything.,
but none of those are mine really yet.
I have my EMI for 10 years at least
Mister Rahul. Still you don't understand the seriousness of my demand
let me send some pictures though Skype. Decide after seeing those pictures.
No not her please.
Pavithra
Please leave her…
Don't do anything to her please
I will give you an another chance.
4 lakhs for both of you. That's the demand now.
I gonna record a video of you.
You ask for money by saying your account number and your situation.
My name is Rahul, I work in IT company,
I am being kidnapped for 4 lakhs.
I will be killed if I don't give that money.
Please transfer what ever you can to my account number.
My account number –
Please help me. Save me please
That's enough. I have recorded,
Fortunately ., the location which we got is a abandoned half constructed IT building
What have you done Rahul. Your video is trending on youtube.
But Nobody will give you money.
Its unnecessary risk for you.
Wait a minute. Watch for yourself.
My name is Rahul, I work in IT company,
I am being kidnapped for 4 lakhs.
What I can I do. I don't have an option. He kidnapped Pavithra too
How do you say that
He sent me a video
Have you seen it properly. Is it confirm that she is our pavi?
The video ended before I see it properly. But it should be her.
He had followed us for months
Can you arrange 4 lakhs…
(Call cuts down abruptly)
Mister Rahul your youtube video has reached till minister.
We are in contact with you right, then what?
Did you find out my location?
Actually he is more intelligent than what we have guessed.,
the internet connection to your laptop is not through that dongle..
He replaced IMEI no of a dongle in some other place in this dongle. Simple trick
so now the laptop gets internet connection through a wireless modem
We had changed our tracking system., can you tell your IP address…,
Tell now., truly were you able to save Ranjith?
No., even before we reached., he died at the peak of his fearness.
What is the thing that is stopping you from escaping out of the room.
Can't you break it down?
Then something which is in your room is controlling the lock.
Actually he is more intelligent than what we have guessed
Simple trick
You are not so different right?., Even you are fighting with the computers 24♪7
Working in your office ., again internet in your home. I think he might be testing you
However you have talks with him ., Try if you can get any information about him
this mask is my identity
I don't know about the fate's game, but my father named me by the leader's name.
I only used half of that name and I loved that name.
I am not a revolutionist who holds red flag and protest.
I am a criminal. An intelligent but a criminal.
When I was born the whole country was crying.
My father's favorite political leader was assassinated by bombing.
The same year as I born, the IT sector bloomed in this country.
Including you, I have data of many of your colleagues
There are so many people who are earning like you but why only you been kidnapped.
Why Only few of you get a call for credit card and loan?
Tell me something ., do you think the passwords
you use could protect you from thieves like us
Even if Gandhi is alive today he might not have written 'The experiments of truth'
and must become a person like me.
Hello sir, Good morning., I am Gandhi calling from IDI bank,
We are offering loans with low interest rate., Can I know your monthly income
There is no possibility of an accurate, perfect, planned murder or a theft
He might have planned everything properly .,
But sure there should be a minor thing he would have thought foolish
Karthick Please take the phone
You have escaped., huh
You are a fraud, There is another lock in the door
Then who are you? Why do you expect honesty when you are not?
Honestly if you had sent the 2 lakhs I asked for .,
I would have opened you the two locks.,
But you have tried your intelligence instead. You
opened all the locks which I had put on you.,
You found out internet., found the Skype.,
and finally opens the leg lock.,
But you know what
I had purposely given you all the clues to open the lock
So., you didn't kidnapped me for money., you
want to play with me., Intelligent - fool game.
Do you want to prove yourself intelligent than the others
This is not a game., your fate., My fate.,
There is only one difference between you and me.,
The degree which was given to you thinking that you know everything.,
The one which I couldn't get even when I know more than you.
The education cost is Hugh for me as high as the difference
between the salary of a degree employee and non-degree employee.,
Are all the degree holders are enough qualified for the degree.
How many of you even have 50% of the talent required for it.
But all our salaries depends on the income of you.,
We are the one who are calling you asking to get a credit card., or a loan.,
We are the one who are providing notices outside your office premises.
Are you giving minimum respect to us.,
Are you treating us in the same humanity level as yours
As we are roaming around you ., we are not your dogs right
I am not playing only with you.,
I am playing with the false intelligence of you
which creates economical difference that is hard to fill up
May I am greedy over you.
May be I am a psycho., An intelligent psycho
But why pavithra between this., Atleast leave her
Now you are going to play for her too., Listen carefully.
Now you have a phone in your hands.
The same rules as before.
You have to find the number to unlock the door before the battery of the phone dies.
The Game is ON
There should be some other motive with him.
I presume he might be testing you
An idiot won't get confused. Much intelligent will become a psycho
Might be some Six months before., we had a different kind of case similar to this.
Even they locked him too alone in a room. But he had a Phone.
But I won't kill you. My hands are soft. I have a friend who does these things for me.
Tell now., truly were you able to save Ranjith?
Ananthram: No., even before we reached.,
he committed suicide at the peak of his fearness.
