Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 – When Justice Was Chained

Anaya landed in Istanbul for a global law conference.

She stepped out of the airport…

and police surrounded her.

Anaya Malhotra?

Yes.

You are under arrest for financial fraud and international money laundering.

Cameras flashed.

Headlines exploded:

Champion of Justice Arrested Abroad!

Kabir dropped his phone.

Arjun clenched his fists.

It's Rudra, Arjun said.

This is his trap.

In a cold foreign jail cell, Anaya sat silently.

Not scared.

Not broken.

Just waiting.

In court, Rudra Mehra appeared on video call.

Smiling.

She stole trust money, he said.

She ruined my business.

The judge looked at Anaya.

What do you say?

Anaya spoke calmly:

I say… show me one lie with proof.

Kabir released leaked files:

Fake companies in Rudra's name.

Bribes to foreign officials.

The kidnapping order signed by his assistant.

Interpol joined the hearing.

Swiss banks sent documents.

Truth traveled faster than lies.

The judge slammed the hammer.

All charges against Anaya Malhotra are dismissed.

Gasps filled the court.

But the judge continued:

Rudra Mehra is charged with

terror funding,

human trafficking,

and international fraud.

Rudra's face turned pale.

He ran.

Again.

But this time…

he ran out of world.

At a port near Greece, Interpol caught him.

Handcuffs touched his wrists.

The man who bought nations

could not buy the law.

In India, people lit candles.

Kabir hugged Arjun.

She won again, he said.

Arjun replied,

No… justice did.

And Anaya stood before the cameras:

They tried to chain truth.

But truth breaks chains.

The war was almost over.

But one final question remained:

What punishment does a man deserve

who tried to buy the world?
