VivaLife, the pharmaceutical company where Raji’s husband, Hari, works, is at the center of a dangerous mystery. On the surface, it seems like a successful and legitimate company, but there are signs that something illegal is happening behind the scenes. The arrival of Officer Ajit Pathak from the Federal Drug Control Organization makes it clear that VivaLife is under investigation for its connection to a deadly opioid called Modella. This drug has been linked to multiple deaths in Punjab, and Pathak is determined to uncover the truth. However, the company’s top executives, especially Shankar Dasgupta, are doing everything they can to block the investigation. Their suspicious behavior suggests that they are hiding something much bigger than what the public knows.
Based on what has been revealed so far, it seems likely that VivaLife is secretly manufacturing fentanyl or a similar synthetic opioid. Fentanyl is an extremely powerful and addictive drug that is known to be much stronger than heroin. In many parts of the world, illegal fentanyl has caused a crisis, leading to thousands of deaths. If VivaLife is involved in the production of this drug, it would explain why they are so desperate to keep investigators away. Since Modella has already been linked to fatalities, it is possible that it is either a type of fentanyl or another opioid that is just as dangerous. The fact that Shankar and his team go to extreme lengths to hide the company’s activities suggests that they are producing something illegal and highly profitable.
The connection between VivaLife and Raji and Mala’s business might not be obvious at first, but there are several ways their small tiffin service could be unknowingly linked to the company’s illegal operations. One possibility is that someone from VivaLife is using their food delivery service as a cover for distributing drugs. The dabba system in Indian cities is highly efficient, with meals being delivered directly to customers without much scrutiny. If VivaLife needed a discreet way to move drugs, using an existing delivery network like Raji and Mala’s could be the perfect solution. Since their customers trust them and see them as simple housewives running a home-based business, no one would suspect that something illegal was happening.
The discovery of drugs in their workspace suggests that someone is trying to use their business for this purpose. Raji was completely shocked when Officer Preeti found the hidden packets, which means she had no idea about them. But the real question is, who put them there? If someone from VivaLife was involved, it could mean that the company has been looking for a way to distribute its illegal products without being directly linked to them. Since Hari works at VivaLife, it is possible that he could get unknowingly drawn into this operation as well. Shankar already hinted that Hari might get a transfer to Germany, which could be a way of keeping him quiet or rewarding him for helping with their illegal activities.
Another possibility is that someone connected to VivaLife is testing Raji and Mala to see if they would be willing to work for them. By placing the drugs in their workspace, they might have wanted to see how the women would react. If they accepted it without question, it would mean they could be trusted to handle more dangerous deliveries. But if they refused, they could be framed for drug trafficking to keep them silent. Since Mala is later seen running for her life, it suggests that she might have discovered something she wasn’t supposed to know. If she had unknowingly helped with a drug delivery in the past, she could now be in danger for asking too many questions.
Varuna Dasgupta, Shankar’s wife, could also be involved. She seems frustrated that she is being kept out of her husband’s business dealings, and she may be looking for a way back in. If she knew about Raji and Mala’s dabba service, she might have suggested using it for drug distribution. Whether she is working with her husband or against him is still unclear, but her character seems to have a hidden agenda.
The presence of fentanyl or another opioid in the story also raises a bigger question about how widespread the problem is. If VivaLife is manufacturing it, they are not just endangering their own employees but also the people who unknowingly consume the drug. The deaths in Punjab show that Modella has already made it into the hands of drug users, and if VivaLife is responsible, it means they are running a massive criminal operation. The tiffin business might just be one small part of a larger distribution network, with Raji and Mala being caught in the middle without even realizing it.
As the story unfolds, the connection between VivaLife and the drug trade will become clearer. Whether Raji and Mala will be able to escape this dangerous situation or be forced deeper into it remains to be seen. But one thing is certain—whoever is behind this will do everything they can to keep the truth hidden.
