Q1

Why did Neha and Ankit decide to rob the diamonds from the plane?

Q2

How did Neha orchestrate the fake hijacking?

A.

After learning that Ankit only pretended to love her and planned to use her for the robbery, Neha recruited her old accomplice Sudhanshu Roy to help stage the hijacking. She brought together a team including Jinu, Nikki, and Abbas who posed as passengers before revealing themselves as hijackers. Neha also d Kamal Malik, the real Flight Marshal, to incapacitate him during the chaos. The entire hijacking was staged to steal the diamonds and frame Ankit.

Q3

Who was Sudhanshu Roy and what was his role in the hijacking?

A.

Sudhanshu Roy was Neha's former accomplice who posed as a Flight Marshal during the hijacking. He killed the fake hijackers (his own teammates) to make it appear as if he had rescued the passengers. In reality, he worked with Neha to execute the elaborate revenge scheme, stealing the real diamonds while making the entire event look like a genuine terrorist attack.

The suspicious appearance of a Flight Marshal during a crisis raised questions about his timing and identity.

Q4

Why did Neha turn against Ankit and plan revenge?

A.

Neha overheard Ankit speaking with his attackers about the diamonds, revealing that he had only pretended to love her to use her in his robbery plan. Additionally, Ankit had discovered the diamonds were fake and kept this information from Neha. This betrayal enraged Neha, motivating her to orchestrate the entire fake hijacking to punish Ankit and steal the diamonds for herself.

Ankit's secret recording about the fake diamonds planted the seeds for Neha's discovery of his deception.

Q5

How were the diamonds hidden on the plane?

A.

Minister Harish Sanyal was smuggling diamonds from Al-Barkat to India by hiding them inside a cellphone. The gems were embedded in the phone's back cover, which was placed inside a locked briefcase. The briefcase required a specific code to open, which Ankit obtained from Sanyal's secretary in exchange for half the diamonds.

The elaborate hiding method explained why Ankit needed the code before attempting the theft.

Q6

Why was the bomb attached to Ankit's body fake?

A.

The bomb was part of the fake hijacking plan orchestrated by Neha and her team. Since the hijacking was staged with fake weapons created by Gaffar Siddiqui, the bomb attached to Ankit was also fake, designed to make his attempted theft appear genuine and add credibility to the staged terrorist attack.

The fake bomb tied into the overall staged nature of the hijacking incident.

Q7

What happened to the hijackers after the plane was secured?

A.

The hijackers were not real terrorists but part of Neha's revenge team posing as terrorists. After Sudhanshu Roy (posing as Flight Marshal) killed them, the bodies were removed by the other team members who removed their masks and blended into the evacuated passengers. This made it appear as if the hijackers had been eliminated when in reality they simply escaped with the real diamonds.

The missing bodies were the first major clue that something was wrong with the official narrative.

Q8

Who was the real Flight Marshal on the flight?

A.

The real Flight Marshal was Kamal Malik (referred to as Kamal Yadav in some parts). He was drugged by Neha and remained unconscious for most of the flight. The man who appeared as Flight Marshal Sudhanshu Roy was an impostor working with Neha's revenge team.

Kamal's unconsciousness during the crisis explained why he couldn't intervene.

Q9

Why did Neha call Minister Sanyal after the hijacking?

A.

Neha made an anonymous call to Minister Harish Sanyal to warn him to stop any investigation into the incident. If he continued investigating, she threatened to expose his diamond smuggling operation. This call was part of her cover-up strategy to ensure the true story never came out while protecting herself and her team.

Sanyal's involvement in smuggling made him vulnerable to Neha's threats.

Q10

How did Ankit get the code to open the briefcase?

A.

Ankit struck a deal with Minister Sanyal's secretary, promising her half of the diamonds in exchange for the code that unlocked the briefcase containing the hidden diamonds. This secret deal was what ultimately led Sanyal to confront and brutalize both his secretary and Ankit after learning about the betrayal.

The secretary's role in providing the code explained how Ankit's theft attempt was possible.

Q11

Why did Ankit attach a bomb to his own body during the hijacking?

A.

Ankit strapped a bomb to himself as a decoy to give him an excuse to move around the plane and access the compartment where the diamonds were stored. He planned to use the supposed bomb threat as cover to retrieve the diamonds while everyone's attention was focused on the hijackers. However, the bomb was fake, part of Neha's larger scheme.

Ankit's asthma attack ruse was his first attempt to reach the diamonds before the bomb strategy.
