Siddhant deciphers the word JEET by its position in the English alphabet and realizes the operation centers on a football stadium event. J=10 (date), E=5 (May), E=5 (5 o’clock), and T=20 (significance tied to the plan). The team learns the stadium will host 20,000 people with the Prime Minister invited.
