'Our cities are growing fast and huge like a python.'
'We can see tall buildings,'
'big cars,'
'flashy lights, glamour and grandeur.'
'But there is a city beyond all this.'
'Where the darkness is much more dense.'
'And the dirt is so much that it becomes difficult to breathe.'
'It's obvious that'
'when the city looks so clean and tidy'
'the garbage must be getting disposed of somewhere else.'
'Please, let me go. Please...'
Anu.
What happened, Anu?
'Anamika Prakash (Age - 23 Years)'
Nothing... Nothing happened.
Maybe you had a nightmare.
Huh? Go back to sleep.
Take it easy.
Go back to sleep.
'Mumbai'
Here's your tea.
- Are you going to the office early today? - Hmm.
I have a lot of responsibilities.
I can't sleep in like your daughters.
Where are they?
Is it finally morning for you?
Where's Anu?
She's in the bathroom.
[water splashing]
- She couldn't sleep all night. - Why?
What's her problem now?
If she keeps staying up all night, she'll never succeed in life.
Always making up excuses.
And listen,
I'll come back late from the office today.
I have an important meeting with the boss.
I might get promoted today.
I hope I'm promoted before our daughter gets married.
[sombre music]
[ticking sound]
[tense music]
'Mom, Dad and Neha,'
'Whatever happened to me'
'the way I was raped...'
'I'm alive even after that.'
'I'm silent.'
'But I'm not able to bear this silence anymore.'
'And this life, too.'
[doorbell ringing]
Anamika.
Anu...
This girl...
[doorbell ringing]
Anamika.
Anu!
What happened?
Where were you? I've been standing here for such a long time.
Your daughter's not opening the door, nor answering the phone.
- That... - Open the door quickly.
Anamika.
Open the door.
I think I've left the key inside.
Oh, my God.
Anu...
Neha is here.
What happened, Mom?
Anu is sleeping. She's not opening the door.
You have the key, right?
Yes.
Move aside.
I'll make a copy of the key and keep it with me.
Go and wake up, sleeping beauty.
[tense music]
[pensive music]
Neha.
[shocking music]
Anu!
Anu...
[crying]
[police siren blaring]
[sweeping music]
[crying]
My child.
- Sumit. - Sir.
- Send the body for postmortem. - Yes, sir.
And clear the crowd from here.
The crime scene has been contaminated.
What's going on here?
- What's going on? - Everyone, please go out.
[deep inhaling]
[phone message tone]
[pensive music]
'Mom, Dad and Neha.'
'Whatever happened to me and the way I was raped...'
'I'm alive even after that. I'm silent.'
'I did not say anything to anyone.'
'And I know what happened to me, was not anyone's fault.'
'But I'm not able to bear this silence anymore.'
'And this life, too.'
It's an email from your sister. It's a suicide note.
It looks like it was pre-scheduled.
These two also have received emails from Anamika.
It's the same mail, sir.
She's sent it to all three of them at the same time.
[pensive music]
Anu!
Anu... Wait. Anu!
Anu... Open your eyes.
Open your eyes, Anu.
[vocalising]
I'm sorry.
I know this is not the right time to talk,
but there are some things that we have to know.
Your daughter has written a suicide note.
She's written
that she was raped.
Who was that?
When did this incident happen?
Nothing of that sort had happened.
I don't know why she wrote this.
We don't know anything.
Nothing.
[sobbing]
Ma'am, you're a mother.
Please don't hide anything from us.
Why has your daughter written in her suicide note
that she was raped?
Why did she ask for your forgiveness?
Did you also not know
that your daughter was raped?
No... I did not know.
I did not know.
[crying uncontrollably]
What's the point of discussing all this now?
Do you know anything about what happened with Anamika?
[crying]
Find out from her call records and footprints.
She did not tell us anything.
[door closing]
Sir, what could have happened
that she went home from the office,
and committed suicide all of a sudden.
[mellow music]
Sudeep, relax for a while.
You've been studying for the last 18 hours.
I have only six months left for the exam.
Let alone 18 hours, even 24 hours is less for studying.
All your efforts will go to waste, if you fall sick.
You must rest in between.
Yes, Mom. Just half an hour more.
[mellow music]
'12 hours after suicide.'
Sir,
here's the postmortem report.
Cause of death - death due to hanging.
No signs of sexual or physical assault on the body.
Then why did Anamika write in the email that she was raped?
- Sumit. - Sir.
- Let's take a look at Anamika's social media. - Yes, sir.
This is the last post, sir.
It was posted around one month ago.
Anamika has not shared any post after this.
'Happy birthday to the world's best Mom.'
[kissing]
'Wow, Mom. Did you hear that?'
'People are lighting fireworks on your birthday.'
'You're world-famous even in our colony.'
[mellow music]
'They were a very happy family, ma'am.'
'Both Anamika and Neha were always smiling and laughing.'
Anamika was going to get married in a few days.
[police siren blaring]
Sir, 24 hours have passed.
What is the police doing?
Why did Anamika end her life?
Does the police have an answer? Sir?
What is Anamika's truth?
She was going to get married. What happened
that she was forced to commit suicide?
[doorbell ringing]
Yes, it is true.
Anamika was
going to get married next month.
[pensive music]
Anamika was your younger daughter, right?
Neha, my elder daughter,
did not want to get married.
She wanted to finish her civil services practice.
But this boy was good.
He also liked Anamika.
So, we thought
of getting our younger daughter married first.
- Was it a love marriage? - No.
My daughter was not like that, sir.
We had finalised the alliance for her.
Was Anamika happy with this alliance?
Who was the boy?
Rohit.
Mr Manoj,
we can understand your situation.
We also know that this is not the right time to talk to you.
But you have to help us
to find out why Anamika committed suicide?
We checked Anamika's social media profile.
She had put up the last post one month ago.
And it was a happy post.
She's not posted anything else in the last one month
whereas she used to post regularly, about once in two to three days.
We would like to hear from you...
A girl who was so happy one month ago,
what happened that she took her life after one month?
Sir,
please understand my situation.
I have another daughter. She will also get married sooner or later.
Please don't dig too deep into this now.
My Anamika is not coming back.
She's never going to come back.
[tense music]
[waves lashing]
What is this? Girls make guys wait.
But here, it's always the opposite.
I always have to wait.
I'm sorry, Meera.
My Dad called just as I was getting out of the house.
That's why I was late.
Dad, Mom, friends...
These are the top on your list.
I'm always last.
- It's not like that, Meera. - That's how it is.
Neha is not happy.
He was calling me to the USA.
USA? Why?
Just like that, for a vacation.
What will I do here, all alone?
Meera... Don't worry. I'll come back soon.
That's not how it works.
Hmm...
Okay.
Tell me, what are you doing on Sunday?
I have online classes.
You study so much, Sudeep.
Meera, I'm doing all this for us.
If I study now, only then our future will be secure, right?
Hmm?
We don't know if she was raped or not.
No evidence was found.
Even the family is not telling us anything.
Why would a girl write that she was raped in her suicide note?
- Did you find out anything from her office? - No, sir.
I spoke to everyone in the office.
Especially with Anamika's friends.
She did not have a problem with anyone.
I spoke to the boss, but...
There's no chance of any doubt, sir.
This is really strange.
We did not get any clues from the postmortem report, either.
Sir, her wedding was fixed.
- The boy's name is Rohit, right? - Yes, sir.
Her fiance.
- Call him here. - Yes, sir.
Rohit Tyagi.
Your wedding with Anamika had been fixed.
Was she happy with this alliance?
Yes, sir.
She was happy.
That's why she had said yes to getting married.
When did you meet Anamika for the last time?
Two days before, she committed suicide.
'I wish we get married soon.'
'Why?'
'Neha also has to get married.'
'If the elder daughter's marriage is delayed,'
'then society talks unwanted things.'
'A person gets married when they are meant to.'
'You had come to meet Neha,'
'then why did you choose me?'
'Did I make a mistake?'
'Look, Anamika. I liked you more.'
'And I said whatever was in my mind.'
'What happened?'
'Nothing.'
'Tell me, what happened?'
'Rohit, I...'
'I am going to the psychiatrist these days.'
Which psychiatrist was Anamika taking therapy from?
Sir, I don't know that.
Okay, you said
that had gone to meet Anamika's elder sister.
But you like Anamika more.
How come?
Sir, two months ago a common family friend
sent us Neha's alliance.
And we went to their house too.
But I
like Anamika more.
Her family had objected to this.
But all of a sudden, twenty days ago,
Anamika's father called my Dad.
He said that,
Anamika also liked me.
Sir, it was a matter of joy for me.
Okay.
Rohit.
Please don't leave the city without informing us.
Okay, sir.
[deep exhale]
[suspenseful music]
This family is hiding a lot from us.
The mother is not ready to tell us anything.
The father says that the elder daughter
did not want to marry, so they fixed the younger one's wedding.
This is also a lie.
They're denying the matter about the rape too.
We are not being shown the truth.
Now, we have to dig deeper and find the truth on our own.
- Sumit. - Sir.
The family will not tell us which doctor Anamika was going to.
Find out from her call records and footprints.
[vocalising]
Doctor.
We know very well
that it's against the ethics of any doctor
to share information about their patient.
But your patient Anamika has committed suicide.
She wrote in her suicide note that she was raped.
She had openly not told me anything.
But she was in depression.
Did she mention about anyone, anytime?
Yes, she did mention a name a couple of times.
Whose?
- Uh... That... - Please don't hide anything from us, doctor.
Anamika's culprit has to be punished.
Rohit.
Her fiance.
But she did not share anything with me
that would make me guess which problem she was in.
She was in severe depression.
That's why I had prescribed medication for her.
Doctor, did Anamika tell you anything else?
Okay, since when was she coming to your for therapy?
[suspenseful music]
She came twice.
The first session was 25 days ago
when she discussed her family.
She was telling me
that her father was a little tense regarding her and her sister.
Patients take some time to open up.
And in the next session she had mentioned Rohit.
Then, she abruptly got up and left.
What are you saying, sir?
Sir, I've met her only four times and that too in a public place.
Sir, I agree that I had become a little emotional
and I had the desire to touch her.
But that cannot be called as rape, right?
- Sir. - Will you tell us
what is rape, and what is molestation? Huh?
Tell us the truth.
Sir... I'll tell you.
Sir,
12 days ago,
[mellow music]
[slapping]
'How dare you touch me!'
'Huh?'
And then,
the matter of her rape
and her suicide...
It was beyond my understanding, sir. I was terrified.
That's why I hid this from you.
Sumit.
He's still not telling the truth.
Tell him in your way.
Sir, if I was lying,
why would I tell you about her therapy sessions?
- Sir, please trust me. - Quiet.
Keep him in custody for three to four days.
He's acting very smart, isn't he?
- All his smartness will be stripped if he stays in custody. - Sir.
'Vinit Housing Society'
Neha.
This is in everyone's best interest.
And this is the only way to set right everything.
Everything depends on you.
No, my dear... Please don't cry.
Don't cry, your face will not look good.
The guests will soon be here.
What will they say if they see you like this?
Stop crying now.
Don't cry. Okay?
Sumita.
The guests are here.
Neha, the boy's family, is here.
Get ready and come out. I'll wait outside.
[sombre music]
Sir.
There's a new update from Anamika's family.
Her sister Neha is getting married within the next three months.
[pensive music]
This family is very strange.
Their younger daughter died 15 days ago.
And that it was a suicide.
Now they've fixed their elder daughter's wedding?
Sir, I also heard that her Dad has saved money with great difficulty.
He was the one who found this alliance.
He wants his elder daughter to get married as soon as possible.
Just a minute.
The whole family was happy on the mother's birthday.
Everything was normal.
Ten days after the birthday, a boy came to their house.
Rohit.
He came to meet Neha,
but chose Anamika.
'I like Anamika, not Neha.'
The family objected to this.
But they agreed later.
Why?
And if the father agreed to this,
why was Anamika unhappy with this relationship?
[slapping]
'How dare you touch me!'
Anamika took help from a doctor
and she mentioned Rohit's name.
She then wrote an email
consisting of a suicide note.
And apologised to her family.
The family is not ready to accept
whatever she wrote in the suicide note.
'Nothing of that sort had happened.'
From the day of the birthday to the day of the suicide,
a lot of things have happened.
And there's something
in this train of events, that we are missing.
Sumit, get details of every activity of this family,
for the last 40 days... No, make that two months.
Their call records, their location,
phone records, digital records,
online shopping and everything else.
I want every detail.
[suspenseful music]
That...
Neha is not happy.
Why?
What's the reason to be unhappy?
We are doing all this for her happiness, isn't it?
She has to be happy.
She has no other option.
You're her mother. Make her understand.
This wedding is the best
for her and us.
[melancholic music]
[police siren blaring]
[suspenseful music]
Going by the looks of it, it seems like it has been more than 12 hours.
Sumit, send the girl's photo to the nearby police stations.
Find out if any missing complaint was lodged. And yes,
get the phone data from the nearby mobile phone tower.
Sir, this is the Mumbai-Nasik highway stretch.
Thousands of vehicles pass this place every hour.
It won't be so easy to get the data.
Did you see the condition of the girl?
The news will soon reach the media.
What answer will we give?
That the data was in bulk, and that's why we couldn't see it?
Sumit, I don't want to take any chances.
We've not been able to close one case as yet.
To top that, robberies and murders are taking place.
We have to take every case seriously.
Madam.
- Yes, tell me. - I want to file a missing complaint.
Sit down.
Is it a boy or a girl?
Girl.
- What is her name? - Meera Banerjee.
She's my friend.
Do you have a photo?
Sir, she was my friend.
Meera Banerjee.
She is from Pune.
I mean, she was.
She was studying with me in college.
Does Meera's parents know that she is missing?
Her mom died a long time ago.
Her dad is an alcoholic. He used to live in Pune,
but he used to never call her.
Alcohol was always his priority, not his daughter.
When did you meet her last time?
Sir. Two days ago.
She was going to go to Pune the next day.
I was going to go to America after two months as well.
We both planned to meet the next day.
'Jai Hind.'
I have online classes on the weekends,
and my phone was on silent.
I forgot that I had promised to meet Meera.
'How can you forget such an important thing?'
'What importance do I have in your life?'
'No...'
'I am coming. I'm coming to meet you right now.'
'What will you come and do now?'
'I will leave for the bus stop in some time.'
'You won't go without meeting me.'
'I am not upset with you. Don't worry about it.'
'Anyway, I know how serious you are when it comes to your studies.'
'We'll meet when we come back. Okay?'
What bus stop was she going to go from?
Indiranagar.
- Sumit. - Sir.
- Check the CCTV footage near the Indiranagar bus stop. - Sir.
Do you have Meera's dad's number?
[somber music]
This is what you wanted, right?
So, here it is.
[crying]
The first invitation card for my wedding
is for you.
This is the fifth such case in the last two months.
After murdering three members of a family,
the thieves robbed the house and left.
Sir.
Sir, there is no CCTV footage of where Meera's dead body was found.
Are there any in the nearby locations?
I have checked more than 500 videos.
I didn't get anything.
Something from the post-mortem reports?
Sir, these are the post-mortem reports.
It's a gangrape, sir.
There are DNA samples under the girl's nails.
Sir, from the forensic reports, it has also been found that
where Meera's dead body has been found,
that's where she was raped and murdered.
Sir, from the forensic reports, it has also been found that
where Meera's dead body has been found,
that's where she was raped and murdered.
Sir, after looking at Indiranagar's CCTV footage, we found out
that she never reached the Indiranagar bus stand.
This means that maybe she went there by herself,
or someone else took her there.
- Let's do one thing. - Yes, sir.
- Let's examine the crime scene again. - Sure, sir.
[tense music]
This is a very expensive watch.
I think it belongs to one of the rapists.
It must have fallen while she was struggling.
Sir.
Maybe this belongs to one of the rapists as well.
[tense music]
This is the fifth such case in the last two months.
After murdering three members of a family,
the thieves robbed the house and left.
For the first time, such a gang of robbers has emerged.
The way they work is also quite distinct.
Their targets are families where most of them
are more than 60 years of age.
Sumit.
Sir.
In the city, five families were robbed and murdered.
I want the file of all those cases.
Sir, I'll get it arranged.
Hmm.
[hinges creaking]
Sir.
In these robbery cases, there were 25 victims in total.
Yes, sir.
Sir, one of the victims is Rishabh Bhatia.
He had a hobby of collecting antique things.
An antique lighter was stolen during the robbery.
It had Rishabh Bhatia's initials on it. RB.
- RB. - Yes, sir.
And this lighter
was found at a place where Meera was murdered.
It's possible that this is Rishabh Bhatia's lighter.
This means
that the gang who is robbing and murdering people
are the ones who gang-raped Meera?
Yes. It's the same gang.
Sir, but this is not the modus operandi of the gang.
See. Based on crime branch investigation, this gang
targets the elderly and small families.
The day when they attacked the families,
a very strange thing happened.
Sir, there was a celebration everywhere.
There was the sound of a DJ and fireworks.
So that the sound of the murder fades behind all the noise.
But, sir, they killed Meera in a very secluded place.
Why?
DJ and fireworks.
What happened, sir?
[tense music]
'Happy birthday to the world's best mom.'
'Mom, what is this?'
'People are bursting crackers on your birthday.'
'You have become world-famous in the colony as well.'
[tense music]
[doorbell ringing]
We have found out that your daughter is getting married.
We came to congratulate you.
Mr Manoj.
Congratulations on your elder daughter's wedding.
But how did you forget your younger daughter, Anamika, so soon?
No, it's not like that.
- Now, she is no more... - Why is she no more?
You are completely silent about it.
But how can we remain silent?
How can we forget our duty?
[tense music]
Whatever Anamika wrote in her e-mail
was all true, right?
You are all trying to hide that truth from us.
[tense music]
[glass shattering]
Whatever happened that night at your house,
we have obtained information on it.
We have found CCTV footage.
Her birthday was being celebrated that day.
There was a sound of firecrackers from the outside.
Some people came into your home that night.
A few hours after they left,
you went out of your house.
You went to a medical store.
You got first aid and some medicines from there.
Mr Manoj.
Is this enough for you to tell the truth?
Or should I say more?
[crying]
Please forgive me, sir.
I couldn't tell the truth.
I am a middle-class man.
I am a father of two daughters.
That night,
those robbers didn't just rob us,
but with my daughters...
[tense music]
What could we have done, sir?
[firecrackers bursting]
'Is it Diwali or what? So many firecrackers are bursting.'
'They are making so much noise.'
'It's good. Everyone is celebrating.'
[doorbell rings]
'God knows who it is. Look at this.'
- 'Who could it be at this time? - Who knows?'
I can understand your pain.
Mr Manoj.
But you don't realise
that whatever happened that night at your house,
you didn't file a police complaint for that.
That's the reason they got more empowered.
They did the same thing to another girl as well.
If you had filed a police complaint,
that girl could have been saved.
My child.
I know how difficult this must be for you.
But if you help me,
we will be able to give justice to your sister, Anamika.
We can provide justice to you.
Sir.
[crying]
They...
They were wearing monkey caps.
I cannot recognise them.
But they
must be
between 20 and 25 years old.
They were very young guys.
Neha.
Do you remember something else?
Something
that might help us?
Yeah.
Those guys...
With the way they were talking, it felt like
they belonged to a very well-to-do family.
America.
One of them was going to go to America.
Young,
educated guys.
We have been thinking about their modus operandi till now,
but they are confusing us further.
What do you mean?
I don't understand, sir.
[tense music]
You robbed six families.
Five murders.
You raped three girls.
You all come from good families.
What kind of helplessness drove you to commit these crimes?
What could we have done, sir?
We always lacked money.
I wanted to enjoy my life, sir.
What kind of expenses were they?
Your parents must be paying college expenses.
And you!
You speak now.
You were acting so innocent while filing Meera's missing complaint.
You were the one who was going to America, right?
We get a very small amount as our pocket money.
Here, one sandwich costs Rs. 250.
Well, sir.
We come from well-to-do families,
but all of our families have loans.
Does anyone even have anything for our pocket money?
'The drinks are over.'
'Now, whose turn is it to pay for the drinks?'
'It's mine,'
'but I will contribute the next time.'
'I have no money right now.'
'Your dad lives in America.'
'Take out your mobile, call him and ask for money from him.'
'I won't get anything from my dad.'
'He lives in the US, but he is broke.'
'Take out the money if you all have it.'
'We are in the same situation.'
'Stop crying now.'
'Just think about how we'll get the alcohol.'
'Do we rob someone for the alcohol or what?'
'Yes. Robbery.'
- 'Let's rob someone. - Have you gone crazy?'
'I have been thinking for so many days'
'as to what I will do about the pocket money.'
- Let's do one thing. - Yes, sir.
'Listen to me. I have a plan.'
[tense music]
That's why we used to search for houses where only the elderly lived.
We used to go there as salesmen and delivery guys,
and deliver free food saying it's the wrong address.
We just went to rob at Anamika's house as well.
Then why did you all rape Anamika and Neha?
We couldn't control ourselves.
We were very drunk.
Why did you kill Meera?
She was your girlfriend, right? Huh?
Sir...
Sir, I was just casually dating Meera.
She used to trust me blindly.
My friends had an eye on her.
'Your girlfriend is amazing.'
'She is not amazing. She is clingy.'
'What are you saying?'
'Well, let us have a taste too.'
- 'Yeah. - She is coming to meet tomorrow.'
'She was telling me to spend the night,'
'but I'm not going.'
'You all can go and have a look.'
The next day, I found out that
they killed her under the influence of alcohol.
That's why,
I came to the police station to file a missing complaint,
so that I won't be doubted.
Hit them hard. Hit them!
On one side, there are youngsters,
and on the other side, there are people like Anamika's parents.
They realised there might be a crime.
Such a big incident happened to them.
Their daughters were raped.
But the elders of the family preferred silence.
That's the reason the culprits got more encouragement.
On the other hand,
there were educated people from well-to-do families.
But their parents didn't realise there might be a crime.
Their children, being lost in books,
were living in a completely different world.
Why do they remain outside the house late at night?
In the name of extra classes and studying late at night,
what are their children really doing?
These questions never arose in their minds.
If they were aware,
then at the right time,
these kids could have been stopped from committing the crimes.
Just realise that every crime gives a knock.
It's important for us to be aware and hear that knock.
