Jaideep's cameo

In the scene, Jaideep plays a man who help with the police investigation. He appears as a railway lineman who helps Mona's SI Dhanwant and Barun's ASI Amarpal Garundi to see the CCTV footage from a recent crime scene. When Garundi pats him on the back and asks him if he has seen or heard anything, he merely responds that he was busy with his own work.

The scene then goes on to reveal that the man who does the crime in the footage that is being shown, has a limp on his right foot. Dhanwant and Garundi then think of the next steps that they must take to nab the killer who has been roaming right under their nose.
