Arnav is the country's most ruthless CBI Director. Kelvin is the untouchable king of the criminal underworld.When a high-profile execution forces a collision course, both geniuses make the exact same reckless move: they strip their ranks and infiltrate a small-town police precinct as low-ranking constables (hawaldars).Neither knows the man sharing tea by the water cooler is the rival they are hunting. But before they can destroy each other... they have to figure out how to survive a corrupt station head, fiery spicy mutton curry, and a missing poodle.Welcome to a world of absolute deceptions, hidden networks, and a psychological cat-and-mouse game where nothing is as it seems. Because in this cursed world, everyone is just a pawn.

Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 2–4 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
