CBI 5: The Brain

CBI 5: The Brain

Aparna is an IPS trainee, who leaves her house for a seminar, hosted by the CBI for IPS trainees. DSP Balagopal and Inspector Vinay, two officers from the CBI host the program until they start to talk about several cases that the CBI has handled so far. They discuss a particular case known as the Basket Killings which was successfully investigated by the senior CBI officer Sethurama Iyer. The case took place in October 2012 when Home Minister of Kerala state Abdul Samad dies en route to Nedumbassery from Delhi, in an aircraft. Many believe he died of natural causes, but some find it mysterious. The suspicions escalate when Samad's doctor Venu is also found dead under mysterious circumstances. Protests take place asking the government to order an investigation into the death of Samad. A journalist named Bhasuran heads these protests and the next day he is found murdered by hanging. A cop named Josemon is also found to be murdered the next day. The police understand that he was murdered by a car that hit and ran over him. The police come to the conclusion that these murders are related and names them as Basket Killings. The case is handed over to DYSP Sathyadas, a corrupt cop who hates the CBI, particularly Iyer, but the IG K. C Unnithan is against handing over the case to Sathyadas, citing his corruption. Unnithan shares these concerns with the DGP, but he rejects his plea and asks him to wait.
