Gautam

Gautam was a trainee at the NDA military academy.

On $$, Gautam was on a hike led by Major G.K. Rajput. The hike finished at 4pm, earlier than expected, and Rajput gave them the afternoon off to head into town. Gautam accompanied Veer Singh Rathod, Rizwan and Ankit to the Root Lounge, where Veer ordered colas for them. Gautam ordered some snacks, and when he got his drink he said that in five years they would be able to drink the real thing. They wondered whether they should drink alcohol, but recalled Major Rana's punishment of Abhishek. Veer then brought Simran over to the table, and Gautam introduced himself to her, shaking her hand until Veer stopped him. He asked her if she had a friend to introduce to him, and Veer told him to relax.

Rizwan then asked Gautam to order them some food, but Simran and Veer left to go back to her house. A short while later, Roshan entered the bar and introduced himself as ATU agent Ronak Tiwari, asking where Veer was. Gautam asked for his ID, which he provided, and Gautam told him he left 5 minutes ago but would be back at the academy by 7.

At around 6:50pm, Rizwan was back and the academy and Nikhil Sanghma brought all three boys in front of Colonel Ajmera, who asked where Veer was. Gautam said he should be there, and Ankit explained he was helping someone.
