Who was Compounder and how did he fit into the story?

Compounder was Munna bhaiya's closest aide. Each time Munna Tripathi gave Compounder an order, he would perform the task of killing the person without a second thought. Through the role, Abhishek Banerjee really came up as the dark knight. Unfortunately, he met his tragic end in the series. However, with the movie, much like Divyendu's Munna Tripathi, Compounder's character will also be revived.
