**Few moments ago, Front Gate of MLA Sudhanshu Thakur's Resort**
Robin Singh, a 22-year-old final-year engineering student, moved silently through the trees lining the side of the resort. His heart hammered against his ribs. This wasn't excitement. This was fear mixed with grim determination.
He had one clear job tonight: sneak close to the front gate and give the signal for the others to break in.
The gate was a heavy iron grill with thick vertical rods, offering a clear view inside while spikes lined the top to prevent anyone from climbing. Six guards stood aggressively in front of it, waving sticks and batons to hold back the growing crowd. One of them held a pistol openly in his hand, ready to intimidate.
Leading the protest at the front were Kaushik, Raghav, and several of his known classmates. Few media personnels, were still filming from a safe distance.
Robin's steps faltered for a split second when he saw the gun.
