Episode recap

In the C.I.D. episode titled Khooni Naqab, a mentally ill student named Mohan pursues the completion of an unfinished play written by his mentor, a failed playwright who committed suicide. Believing the work must be brought to its proper end, Mohan kidnaps the young actors who were originally supposed to participate in the production. He holds them captive with the psychotic plan to freeze and immortalize them as the characters they were meant to play. During his captivity scheme, Mohan kills the actors who attempt to escape. These violent deaths bring the C.I.D. team onto the case when they discover two victims of Mohan's wrath. The narrative follows the C.I.D. officers as they work to reach Mohan before he can cause any further harm to the remaining captives.
