Avrodh: The Siege Within

After successfully executing known militant Bilawal Wani in Kashmir, Major Gautam arrives in Uri to take over from his friend and colleague Major Rishab Sood. Even as NSA Malviya is struggling to stabilize the situation in Kashmir, in an exclusive interview with journalist Namrata, JeM commander Abu Hafeez threatens to retaliate. Meanwhile, the army receives intel on infiltration across Uri.

Namrata seeks help from Fakruddin, a former friend in Srinagar, to obtain on-ground information for substantiating her guess. At nightfall, four infiltrators attack the Uri base camp. In a fierce standoff between the soldiers and the terrorists, Major Rishab Sood takes a bullet.

In spite of the media scrutiny calling the attack an intelligence failure, PM orders for a swift investigation under NSA Malviya’s supervision. Namrata gets to know of an Army operation in Sukhdar village, and reports it, thus impeding the investigation’s big lead. The PM takes a firm diplomatic measure in retaliation.

With the help of a former informant, NIA Chief Ali Raza interrogates a gardener who confirms the coordinated attack by JeM. A debate in the echelons in Delhi sparks, calling for a “boots on ground” response. NSA Malviya instructs the Army Chief to come up with a foolproof plan of action. Anti-terrorism expert and Para SF commander, Videep Singh, is selected to formulate and execute the plan.

Major Videep Singh puts his team together, submits his first action plan to his Colonel, and moves incognito to Uri with the team. Fearing Namrata’s nosy attitude, NSA Malviya baits her through false news of his resignation from the cabinet. As Namrata takes the bait and announces the news, danger looms on Fakruddin, who is tracking Videep’s next move. PM is presented with Major Videep’s covert surgical strike plan inside PoK.

Fakruddin is caught spying on the army and arrested at Uri Base. Abu Hafeez makes plans for future attacks all over India. Namrata confronts Malviya over Fakruddin’s arrest and is subsequently fired from her job. Through a series of links, Major Videep establishes contact with an inside source in Abu Hafeez’s camp, who aids him in identifying possible targets across the LoC.

After a brutal terrorist attack in Kashmir that kills an Indian army soldier, the Anti Terror-Fund Task Force is put to work. General Sangram Vaidya and Captain Imtiaz Ahmed set off to Uri while Captain Pradeep Bhattacharya, Additional Commissioner of Income Tax and a Territorial Army officer, is assigned to go undercover and find the perpetrator.

Parveena, Waziri's ground agent in India, sets out to convince the separatist groups in India to attack the country on 6 December. Meanwhile, Pradeep investigates a jeweller in Mumbai, as Imtiaz checks out the Al Zohar ship in Alang that has been flagged by international intelligence.

While Parveena meets another separatist leader in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar forest, Pradeep and Imtiaz have a vocal showdown about the operation in Alang that cost them a key link. Meanwhile, Waziri and General Aziz meet Zafar Hamidi, an expert on explosives, to chalk out the execution of Stage 1 of their plan. Pradeep receives intel about increased activity in Kashmir and uncovers a Kashmiri activist who is also an explosives expert.

A small-time drug dealer, Pritpal, sets up a meeting between a separatist group leader and Parveena, who is distrustful of Pritpal. At the Uri base, Pradeep is worried after not having heard from Rasool. He later finds out that Rasool was killed and that Zafar plans to infiltrate Kotla. Their plan changes and Pradeep leads Team Papa while Imtiaz leads Team Alpha on a reconnaissance to cover Kotla's blind spots.

Waziri and Aziz ready the counterfeits that are to be sent across the different borders into India. At the Kotla Camp, Zafar and Mujeed, along with 12 other mercenaries dressed as shepherds, begin their journey. Pradeep learns about this from Babrak and immediately alerts Imtiaz, putting their mission into action.

While Shailesh commends Pradeep and Imtiaz on a job well done, Pradeep isn't entirely relieved and suspects that all the events so far are not indicative of how ISI normally functions. Shailesh advises Vaidya to follow the trail of the printers in the hopes that it will lead to the RDX. Meanwhile, Waziri is furious at the ISI's inefficiency in sending Zafar across and is adamant about seeing the attack executed on 6 December.
