POOJA
Ring gayi hai. Shaadi se bas minutes pehle.
Toh ab sabse pehle, koi drama nahi.
ANANYA
Drama? Inspector, mere wedding day pe ring gayab ho gayi aur aap mujhe drama bol rahi hain?
POOJA
Guest list mein A. Mehra ka naam do baar kyun likha hai?
ANANYA
Meri shaadi hai, Inspector. Ring gayi ya nahi, ceremony rukni nahi chahiye.
POOJA
Yeh slot... naya sa kyun lag raha hai?
SEEMA
Ring maine chhupayi thi.
SEEMA
Paise ke liye nahi.
Sach ke liye.
ANANYA
Mujhe pata tha...
Bas main sach bolne se darr rahi thi.
POOJA
Crime clear hai. Identity fraud.
Aur aap dono... witnesses bhi ho, suspects bhi.
POOJA
Shaadi kal bhi ho sakti thi.
Jhooth ke saath nahi.
