Saxena

This article covers characters and concepts from the Indian adaptation of 24.

Saxena was a sniper who worked for RAW during Day 1.

At some point before Day 1, Jai Singh Rathod reported Saxena's brother Devraj for accepting a bribe of 50,000 Rupees. Jai testified against Devraj and ruined his career, and Saxena harbored ill feeling towards Jai ever since.

On Day 1, Saxena was sent with Shiv to provide backup for Jai's meeting at Eden Park. They set up six sniper positions and locked down the exits to the park, shutting down a nearby tower for a better vantage point. Jai arrived at 5:30pm and Saxena met him, sarcastically commenting to Kabir that everyone knew of Jai's integrity. He then briefed Jai on the snipers, and took up his position.

Saxena aims his rifle at Jai

While Jai was in play waiting for his contact, Saxena taunted him over the radio. He questioned why Jai took down his brother over such a small amount of money, and Kabir told him that there were more important things going on and that he had to stay focused. Saxena replied that keeping an eye on Jai was very important, and kept Jai in his rifle sights. When Deepak Patil arrived, Saxena watched as he met with Jai before realising he was being set up and fleeing. Jai ordered Saxena not to shoot, but Saxena said Jai would have to report him as he did his brother. He then shot Deepak through the chest, killing him. ("5:00pm-6:00pm")

Jai then grabbed Saxena and angrily admonished him for killing the suspect. Saxena said he would claim he only acted to protect Jai, and then left the park with Rai and Giri. ("6:00pm-7:00pm")
