Vikram Singh, the seasoned detective, didn't waste a moment after Mansi left his office. With over 30 years in law enforcement and private investigation, he knew exactly how to peel back the layers on a case like this—methodically, discreetly, and with a network of contacts that spanned from dusty police stations in Uttar Pradesh to shadowy informants in Mumbai's underbelly. He started with the basics: verifying the identities, cross-referencing public records, and digging into criminal databases. Since Mansi had provided photos, phone numbers, and basic details for Ashraful and his five friends (Kishan Kumar, Sunil Rana, Lalan Dubey, Arif Mohammad, and the unnamed fifth), Vikram had a solid starting point. Here's how he worked through it step by step over the 48-hour initial window and the full 7-day deep dive, blending online searches, phone calls to old police buddies, and on-ground verification.
