The crime he busted was tax evasion to tune of over Rs 25000 crores. He was without any security in the factory, under a threat that his cover might be blown anytime. But, not only did he perform his role perfectly, he also won the Award for Excellence by Union Finance Minister Ms Nirmala Sitharaman, for uncovering the ‘biggest ever tax evasion’ detected by the income tax department.

He could play the perfectly because Mr Ashok Charan is a natural actor.

Not only that Mr Charan has also directed a film made on the real life incident described above.
