[Suspenseful music]
I am wanted for four murders,
including the murder of the girl I loved the most.
Everything you've been told about this case so far is a lie.
The security footage clearly shows you
carrying the girl's body.
Was that not you in the video?
It's me.
But have you not heard of cases where
the police used CCTV footage as per their convenience?
Showing only what they wanted to show and concealing the truth.
There have been cases like this earlier as well.
Why else did the hotel shut down permanently after that day?
And what happened to the rest of the couples?
None of them ever appeared in front of the media.
What are they scared of?
Is someone threatening them?
The girl's parents never gave any statement to the media.
Why?
The person in-charge of the case,
Inspector Bobade.
Does he look like a fair man to you?
What I am going to tell you today will stir things up for many people.
[Rock beat music]
My name is Shankar Dharmik.
I was the receptionist at this hotel.
That night I got a call from a boy at 12:00-12:30.
When he showed up, he was with a girl.
- Did you call in advance? - Yes.

[Bag zip]

What is this?
I stole it from mom's hospital.
- Wait a minute. - What?
- Condom. - What?
I left the condom in the car.
Give me a minute.
[Door opens]
Be right back.
Lock the door.

Hurry up.
What are you doing there? Come on.

[Indistinct chatter]
Why are you crying now? Get in.
[Indistinct chatter]
Come on, get them.
Shinde, get them. They are going out through the window.
Come on, get them.
Don't try to act smart. Get moving.
Come on, get them.
Look that side.

- There's a police raid. - What?
Hurry up. Grab your stuff.
- Open the door. - [Insistent knocking on door]
Open the door. Who is in there?
Open the door.
I won't ask again. We will break down the door.
Open the door quickly.
[Dramatic music]
Careful.
[Dramatic music]

Listen. Hey.
Listen.

I said wake up.
Hey.

[Car halts]
She wasn't saying a word. There was no movement in her body.
So I brought my hand near her nose.
She wasn't breathing.
I was terrified.
This was a terrible mishap.
[Sighs]
Fantastic!
Where did you find him?
That's not important, sir.
I'd like to know what do you have to say about his side of the story.
Does he think we are stupid? [Dog barks]
What about the other people who died?
Did they also slip and fall?
Rather than giving you an interview,
he should approach the court.
Prove himself there.
Everything will be understood there.
A boy and a girl,
both adults.
Meeting up in a hotel and spending time in private,
even having sex,
is that illegal?
Or the police conducting an aggressive raid,
is illegal?
That is what caused all the problems.
Whatever he's saying is also not completely impossible.
These illegal raids are frequent.
And they said they didn't find a weapon or a dead body.
Whatever they found so far,
including fingerprints, blood,
pieces of evidence that the police found validates this boy's story.
I always found it hard to believe that this boy committed murder.
It makes more sense now.
[Suspenseful music]
He's come up with a good story.
But we have other evidence.
What about those?
[Birds chirping]
These people said awful things about my son.
Terrible things.
Even if what they are saying is true,
my son deserves a chance to give an explanation.
Did he ever try to contact you after that?
No.
[Soft emotional music]
[Sobs]
I was scared out of my wits, sir.
I didn't know what to do or not to do.

Who's there?
[Car door closes]
What? What are you doing here?
I was looking for the way to Dongar village.
You have to drive back 15 kilometres on the highway.
That's Dongar village. Not here.
- 15 kilometres? - Yes.
Okay, fine.
[Phone rings]

[Car drives away]
Did you ever find their mobile phones?
No, we never found their phones.
But then why were their call records never made public?
It's still an open case,
that's why the call records were never opened.
That's common sense, you know.
Sneha Meshram.
She's a friend of that girl.
She even gave a statement saying,
the girl left on her own.
She was having an affair with the boy.
No, we haven't found any evidence of an affair.
What's your personal opinion? Do you think they were having an affair?
I can't comment on anything without evidence.
As far as my assessment goes,
she couldn't have gone on her own.
Because she wasn't that type.
So why is it difficult to believe,
when someone hears that a good girl wants to have sex?
Immediately,
that good girl isn't good anymore.
Do you think it makes people less sympathetic towards her?
We are surrounded by people for whom
wearing short dresses, hanging out with boys,
late-night outings, laughing aloud are justifications to rape.
So a girl has to become their version of good
to make a difference.
Otherwise, no one cares.
So when the father called on his daughter's phone at around 4 a.m.,
I understood that the family knew she wasn't at home.
He's a reputed man, so I knew he wouldn't involve the police,
but his boys must be looking for me.
I used to hear from my father,
the things he used to do to people he didn't get along well with.
So I thought of taking care of the girl's body first.
I thought I'll cremate the girl's body.
[Suspenseful music]
I didn't have any option, sir.
What else could I do?

Yes, it will take a couple of more hours.
No, I'll eat once I reach there.
Yes.
Yes, returning tonight by train.
Listen, have Aadya's classes started?
Okay.
You know what? Try turning off the Wi-fi and turning it on again.
Yes, okay.
I'm hanging up now.
Here.
Eat this.
No, sir. You eat it.
No. Eat it.
I had some packed for the journey.
Thank you, sir.
Aren't you eating?
I will eat once I reach home.
How old is your daughter?
Sir, she's turned five now.
My wife and I got married early.
I heard when you were talking to your wife.
In Hindi.
It's a good thing.
One should speak in Hindi.
No, sir. That's because I am from Kerala.
My wife is Maharashtrian.
Till we learn each other's language,
we are making do with Hindi.
Does your child go to school? Does she study?
Yes, sir. She goes to school.
English medium. Private school.
But aren't private schools expensive?
It's alright, sir.
Money is irrelevant.
We'll face hardships now,
but our daughter's future will be secured if she studies English
Send her to Delhi for further studies.
We don't have that kind of money, sir.
No. If you don't have to spend money and want free education.
I will. Definitely.
Right.
I have a brother-in-law. Just one.
He lives in Delhi and runs an NGO.
- Okay. - So the poor kids...
I mean, underprivileged kids get higher education,
college education for free.
Free tuition. Free hostel. Everything is free.
Sir. Thank you, sir.
- Thank you so much, sir. - No worries.
My wife will go mad with delight on hearing this.
[Laughs]
Take down my number.
Okay, sir.
I will talk to my brother-in-law. No problem.
Sir, if you ever come to Hyderabad, pay us a visit. Okay?
For dinner.
Of course, I will. Why wouldn't I? I will certainly come.
Thank you, sir.
What did you say your name was?
Sir...
[Car engine sputters]
What is happening? What is happening to the car?
Don't know, sir.
It's not working properly.
[Traffic sound]
[Grunts]
It's bad luck, after all.
What else can we call it?
[Soft intense music]
His car was at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I don't have any faith.
Not on God or anyone else.
[Phone rings]
Hello.
Who is this?
Yes, but who are you?
I don't know where she is.
If this was only about sneaking out, I would have lied to her parents.
Who doesn't lie for their friends?
But something was off that day.
Especially after that call, I made up my mind. [Door opens]
See what happened.
Hello, what about [indistinct conversation]
[Sighs]
It was very important for me to know that she is safe.
Because I had a strong feeling,
that something bad was happening with her out there.
Hotel Welcome Home.
It's on Butibori Bypass.
Owned by Chhotu Jaiswal's brother-in-law, I guess.
I will go take a look.
No.
You don't go.
[Suspenseful music]
My phone?
Madam.
Come.
The only thought on my mind was if what I am thinking is right,
then someone should know where she is.
And even if we've to search for her, where should we begin from?
But to be honest,
if she had been caught with that boy in the lodge the other day,
I would have been the happiest.
But our friendship would have ended. [Chuckles]
[Dramatic music]
At this point, anyone I came across seemed like her father's men.
They were here to kill me.
[Breathes heavily]

[Knock on car window]
Hi.
One minute.
Are you heading to Nagpur?
I was ferrying a customer, but my car broke down.
So... Can you drop him to Nagpur?
No, I am not heading to Nagpur. I'm heading to Umred.
Not Nagpur.
Sir, one minute.
I request you, sir. Please.
He is a cop.
He's having some issues with his eyes.
He can't see a thing, sir.
So... He has to reach Nagpur on time.
Otherwise, I will get in trouble.
You can drop him anywhere in Nagpur.
His wife will pick him up.
I have already informed her.
Okay, thank you.
One minute.
[Breathes heavily]
You can judge an honest man from his face.
After conversing with him, I knew he was telling the truth.
The driver should have left after that.
He shouldn't have been there.
His name was Sunny.
I know, sir.
He was from Kerala. Sunny.
I only wanted Chauhan in my car.
With a cop sitting in the car,
no one would stop me at checkpoints.
And I would have dropped off Chauhan at any point and made a run for it.
That was my plan.
[Boot lock clicks]
Bro... The boot is jammed.
What? [Car door opens]
Bro.
[Car door closes]
The boot is jammed.
- Okay. - I'll keep it over here. - Okay.
- While it was parked, a bull rammed into it. - Okay.
Since then...
[Car door opens]
[Car door closes]
Okay, sir.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay.
[Car window rolling up]
[Car engine starts]
Wait a minute.
[Car window rolling down]
Sir, can I get your number?
My boss won't give me your number.
You said you have a friend in Delhi.
Oh, yes. Do one thing. Why don't you,
- save your number on this. - Okay.
Okay?
And send my live location to my wife.
- Just like you sent to your boss. - Yes.
Okay.
Your live location, right?
Oh God!
Okay, sir.
Done, sir.
Done?
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
[Car engine starts]
- Shall we? - Yes.
Mind your phone, sir.
Okay.
Sunny made a mistake, sir.
He had several chances to get out.
And the excuses that Chauhan had used,
he would have never called him back.
These rich people enjoy playing savior to poor people.
And they keep this act up
until they don't have to actually do something.
When it's time to do something,
it never materializes.
Sonawane, stop that car.
- Why is it reeking of diesel? - Huh?
Can't you smell it?
Do you have a license?
Show me.
Show your license and open the boot.
Sir, the boot is jammed. It's not opening.
How can it be jammed?
Some bullock rammed into it while it was parked.
What happened?
It's a police checkpoint. The boot is jammed.
Can't open it. He is asking me to open the boot.
The car will be impounded then
Hey. I am Chauhan, COO.
***** Police Station.
Jai Hind, sir.
We're checking for illegal drugs.
Orders are from superiors. Pendse sir.
Tell Pendse sir that Chauhan sir was smuggling diamonds,
and you let him go.
What, sir? [Chuckles]
Go on.
Open.
[Car drives away]
[Soft intense music plays]
He said we could send Aadya to college after she finishes her schooling.
That's when the car broke down.
Darn it!
Hello.
Okay, I'll call you back. Okay.
Yes, sir.
The car broke down, sir.
I told Munna to call you.
Okay. Sorry, sir.
I sent Chauhan sir in some car heading for Nagpur.
Whose number, sir?
I didn't take his number, sir.
Yes. Okay.
I'll fix the car and park it at Nagpur office.
Okay.
[Horn honks]
This is where Chauhan sir was last seen alive.
At Khapri check-post,
by constable Sonawane.
His dead body was found after that.
I know what he must have said next.
Chauhan sir got down from the car in between.
I don't know where he went.
And you must have believed him.
Because you can make a nice film about him. Right?
But that's not how the police department works.
We work on evidence and facts.
And the fact is,
he had no use for Chauhan sir after crossing the check-post.
So he killed him.
He was my father figure.
A mentor.
His head was smashed hard with a rock
[Soft intense music]
Have you ever picked up brain pieces of someone you knew?
From the road.
I did.
And he was absolutely harmless at that time.
He couldn't see.
And yet he killed him.
Did you kill the police officer Chauhan?
I didn't kill that police officer, sir.
But he died in front of me.
I am a witness.
[Soft intense music]
