He is the strong, intense, silent type. He is a hard core professional who heads the Special Squad. He is a true leader who backs his team and also indulges their quirks. He is a brilliant investigator who has only one unsolved case in his illustrious career. The case - the murder of his wife and child.

Iqbal Azad
Role:Abbas Ali Baig / Boxer
He is a hard-core investigator who grew up in the wrong side of town. He is extremely street smart and aggressive and he and Ajay make a great team. Though he has a perennial soft corner for the underdog because he knows what it is to be one. He can understand the motivations behind the poor people resorting to crime and would like to rehabilitate them.
He is the department Casanova. He is the other investigator in the organization who is flamboyant, witty and also bends the rules once in a while. Women from his past keep popping up at the most inopportune moments. His lack of discipline really angers the top brass but Aryan who admires Ajay's genius indulges him and at time protects him from facing departmental flak. He is brave and courageous and doesn't mind taking huge personal risks to solve crimes.
Neha is a sensitive girl who left home when she could not take her father's oppressive and abusive behavior anymore. She is very antsy about cases where women have been cheated or abused and a belligerent side of hers is suddenly revealed at such times. She is the expert on computer forensics and electronics. She appears nerdish at first glance but hides a really good persona deep behind her grunge look. She and Ajay start loving in the middle of the series and it is a perfect case of opposites attract. She is finicky about things, very ordered and thorough. Everything has a proper place and anything out of place and she can bring the house down
The grim, proud but intelligent latent and prints specialist doesn't really think much of investigators and believes it is forensics that plays a major part in solving crimes, but never get its due. He had a flourishing career with the Scotland Yard and had to chuck it to come to India because his mother could not handle the cold. He is slightly grumpy about the way the Indians function but is very good at his job. His curt condescending attitude has to be borne by the whole squad because his inputs are crucial in solving cases.
