Ganesh re-examined the CCTV footage and noticed Mohan had visited a sound technician who handles soundproof installations around the city.

He hacked into the face-recognition database, added his own face to the access control, and used his wheelchair to push through the door just in time to rescue Rayaan.

Foreshadowing: Earlier failed attempts at the coffee shop and movie theatre had given false leads.

An internal source within the police leaked the live videocall feed of the abduction to Neerali. This leak made it appear that Ganesh had released the footage himself, painting him as a suspect in the attempted murder of an innocent child. The controversy forced Ganesh to step away from the cybercell despite his innocence.
