Checkmate

 Detective Jagdish Singh - Protagonist 

Mr. Govind Sharma - Antagonist

The story begins with Govind living with his adopted daughter who gets molested by one of the people from his neighbourhood. Govind furious rushed into his house to confront the guy (Vijay) but accidently kills him. To hide his crime he manipuates the crime scene into making it look like Vijay commited a suicide and no one else was involved.

Detective Jagdish enters the case and is almost convinced that this was a suicide when he finds out one clue, that Vijay was killed, and he didn't kill himself. Jagdish takes the case very lightly and starts joining dots and arrests the wrong person.

One of his associates, finds out that the person he accused was wrongfully accused, when Jagdish takes it on his ego to find out the culprit. Unofficially he finds out that the culprit was Govind, and he is the mastermind behind hiding all the evidences and every detail related to this incident. Jagdish takes it on his ego to put Govind behind the bars.

He does everything to find one evidence to accuse Govind, while Govind stays one step ahead of Jagdish in his every move, and has everything planned beforehand. Jagdish furious decides to do something that he had never done before, he abducts Govind's daughter.

Govind is blackmailed to surrender in order to save his daugher. Govind surrenders to the police while Jagdish reveals that his daughter was unharmed and at her aunts. Govind was fooled.

Jagdish thinks that he won the game, but Govind has bigger plans. From the prison itself he makes the plans for future and confronts Jagdish that until now he was on defence but now involving his daughter has put him on offense.

Govind's trial begins and in the court he proves that the surrender that he did was done on wrong grounds as he was blackmailed by someone anonymous. The police is asked to investigate this matter and Jagdish is derailed from the case. Govind is set free, while Jagdish still involves himself in the case again, and tries to make his investigations privately.

Jagdish makes all the moves possible in order to get to Govind, while he is being trapped more and more in Govind's master plan. 

In the final court hearing, Jagdish thinks that Govind will go to jail, when, the tables turn and Jagdish is proven guilty of emotionally blackmailing Govind to surrender, and taking part in investigations against court's order. His license is revoked and he is put behind the bars.

Govind wins after all and spends the rest of his life peacefully, while Jagdish stays inside, never to bother him again. A villain who can't be defeated.

Govind pushes Vijay, his foot slips and he falls too hard that his head is hit in medula and his spine gets injured, he keeps on struggling to shout but struggles to shout as Govind doesn't let him. Govind then takes a box of sleeping pills and puts them on his mouth and pours in water. Vijay is completely finished. And then Govind bangs his head 3-4 times too hard to finally kill him. He keeps the bottle on his right hand with a few pills spilling out. He then picks up one of Vijay's dairy and in a broken and shivering handwriting writes a suicide note, and then throws it near the bathroom with water tub spilling water all over it so that handwritting can't be detected and the words have to be decoded.

He then places a mobile phone at Vijay's house and keeps it's ringtone as a man screaming too hard. He goes back to his house and sleeps and rings the phone. The phone then produces screaming man's sound, the neighbourhood wakes up and rushes out to see what happened. Govind joins them. They break his house, meanwhile Govind puts the mobile phone back in his pocket. Making him difficult to suspect.

When Jagdish analyzes it, he tries to decode the note, plus creates a picture of Vijay overdosing himself with those pills and falling on the ground and banging his own head to kill himself. And is convinced. Until, he realizes that Vijay was left handed, then why would he consume it with his right hand. This convinces him to reimagine the scene with a killer, and he is able to figure out exactly what Govind did. But now the question is who was the killer? who is so smart to do this? and why would they do it to Vijay?

Govind was a normal Convinience store owner in the neighbourhood, and had no formal education. But this didn't mean he was dumb. Govind lives a life of disguise. He is a genius and understands people and their motives better than anyone, and is an overthinker. He can think of all the possible scenarios before anything wrong can happen, and plan it accordingly. And for the best part, he doesn't reveal his true intelligence to anyone, keeps it hidden, and this is what makes him a deadly foe.
