Murad Ali

Murad Ali was the head of a secret prison facility at Mahatma Gandhi National Park.

On $$, the prison was holding the LTFE prisoners from Operation Trishul, the lieutenant Aravind Bala Muruga and an assistant. Murad was ordered to send ten of his guards to another site during the day, leaving him with only five guards at the facility.

Jai Singh Rathod investigated the prison at around 7pm, and the guards apprehended him and brought him to Murad. Murad read his identification, and asked what he was doing here: Jai replied that he was following a lead connected to the assassination of Aditya Singhania. Jai told Murad that someone tried to cut the power to the facility at 7:20pm, and Murad explained that nothing was happening at that time but if the power went down the doors would be opened and the CCTV would be shut off. Jai explained that enemies were outside the facility and they needed to conduct a show of force. Jai led the soldiers outside at 7:20pm and stationed them in plain sight in front of the lights. Afterwards, Jai told Ali that ATU reinforcements were on their way, and asked to see the prisoners. However, Ali refused, telling Jai that his superior officer Atul Swaminathan would also say the same thing. Jai then looked at the CCTV footage of the prisoners, and recognised them from Operation Trishul.

Ali attempted to stop Jai from taking photos of the prisoners, but Jai explained it was important to identify them and sent them to ATU. Murad watched the prisoners interact and noted that it was strange that the lieutenant was acting as a subordinate to the assistant. Shortly before 8pm, Atul gave Murad permission to allow Jai to speak to the prisoners. As Jai questioned them, it became violent, so Murad stepped in and started to argue with Jai. However, the lights in the facility suddenly died, so Murad ordered his men to handcuff the prisoners and secure the facility. Jai then questioned the prisoner, and after information was sent from ATU, he worked out that the assistant was Ravindran, the LTFE chief thought to be killed during Operation Trishul. An explosion then echoed through the facility, so Murad ordered Jagtap to turn on the emergency lights. They began to take the prisoners out of the facility, and explosions echoed behind them as Raja Talapathi's men infiltrated the building. As they made their escape, Raja's men blew through a door and fired on them, killing Murad and his guards and freeing Ravindran.
