Here we get introduced to another character who is famous for his robberies in trains. Upon digging up information, he came to know that a huge sum of money is there on the Bhopal Junction, so he also planned that he will go to Bhopal Junction to rob that money. Ansari’s wife (Imad’s friend who died in the factory) is coming to Bhopal along with her children.
Later in the night, we see that two workers in the factory start the water pump in pipes to clean up the pipes, but they forgot to close the last loop of the pipe, and water starts entering into the chemical and starts reacting with MI 16 Chemical. Within a few hours, the pressure in the factory goes all-time high, and before anyone understands anything, the pressure in the pipe and factory rises to an all-time high. Kamruddin tries to stop and transfer the pressure, but he fails, and the tank bursts up after the rise in temperature and pressure.
On the other hand, we get to see that Imad Riaz has joined his first day in the railway backyard. Express Bandit, dressed up as RPF, meets with station master ‘Iftekar Siddiqui’ at the Bhopal Junction, and he tells that someone is going to loot the money at Bhopal Junction, and thus he is here to save and protect the money.
On the other hand, gas is now spreading to nearby areas, and ‘Kamruddin’ is trying all his best to fix the issue, but he dies on the spot, and Episode 1 ends here.Episode 2 is going to be more exciting as we are going to see how Railway men are going to react to this situation.
