He frames Krishs death as suicide

What happened after this,

I do not have to explain

The newspaper man watches this

entire incident from outside the park

And that killer watches the same

from inside the park

After these boys leave...

...the newspaper boy

rushes to the police station

Following Praveens car...

...that killer leaves the spot too

After the boys enter their house...

...the killer removed the dead body

from the car trunk

So, both the bodies of Shruti and boyfriend

of Vaishnavi have to be...

...in the white Dzire car TS 38 AW 7436

we are looking for

He is very genius sir

- Are my connections not logical?

Yes sir, it is very logical. Chances are high

it happened this way

But what is the motive?

There is not any necessity

all murders should have a motive

From your hint it seems like

we are chasing a psycho killer

Exactly, who knows?

Sir, registered in the name of Mr Krishnamurthy

- Krishnamurthy?

Hello, yes?

Sir, I am calling from

Uppal bypass road

A stranger just tossed something

from his car into a pond, sir

Explain clearly

He opened his car trunk and flung

something huge into the pond, sir

What vehicle, sir?

White Dzire, sir

Severe damage and we got to operate

Few days ago...

...a youngster named Krish was found

mysteriously dead in Bharathi park

On the same day a girl

named Shruti went missing

A youngster called Mano

is the reason behind this

Since he was averse to the close

bond between Krish and Shruti

He shot Krish and

has kidnapped Shruti

According to police reports

The police force is on

a witch-hunt for Mano

Excuse me

Sir, this is Rajaiah here

I was talking

for so long, Rajaiah

Sir, please do not mistake me

My son found out why

I asked you to meet him

He refused to meet you

Please do not take it to heart.

Sir Hello sir

Who are you?

Finally You should have asked me this

right in the beginning

You chatted with me as if

you knew me for 10 years

I kept silent to see

If I had revealed maybe you would not have

said in detailed about this case

So long to take out this?

I am brother of Krish

All of you get inside

Do not come out until I say

Go inside

I know you have seen

that murderers face

But when the police questioned

you did not say

A man can control all his emotions

But after knowing this person

should be behind bars or dead

...if he is wandering scot free happily

a rage within will erupt you know

It is hard to control that anger

Then only this...

...will help a lot of

people get justice

Even when you knew the killer,

you did not do anything

Now I just need a simple answer to

my simple question. Why...?

I will tell you

If you are mad at me...

...shoot me after I explain

No one will stop you

Because Policemen are basically too arrogant

Need not be obligated for a lifetime

to someone who spared his life!

Moreover, you should certainly

be aware of this

Why did you leave

without informing us?

I got a call from work asking me

to come immediately, sir

That is why I had to leave

Then I tried calling sirs cell

but it was switched off

Only now I heard about this

- Is it?

Did all this happen

when sir came in search of me?

No

Sir Vaishnavi is here

You keep talking

I will go and get lunch

Sir, I did not commit any mistake

I am going to confess

a truth to you

After that whatever

decision you take is ok...

Excuse me, you are

Hi, I am Krish. Friend of Shruti

I came to wish her for birthday

I think she is not at home.- No, she is inside

I spoke to her just now

She said is going for a shower. Just a minute

Shru- Vaishu, two minutes- Ok

Can I get you some juice?- No, thank you

What is his name?

He is my college friend, Prem

Have you not planned

any birthday celebration?

Actually we have planned something

without Shrutis knowledge

Rajiv is on his way. You know it is a surprise.

Rajiv?

- Yes, her boyfriend. He lives in Nasik

But no one is aware

of his arrival today

How do you know Shruti?

We live in the same area

We talk quite often- Oh, ok

Hey, hey sweety happy birthday.

- Mano, please leave before I behave harshly

Mano? He told me his name is Krish

- Do not panic

Hey! Why are you locking the door?

Krish is my original name

I believe you went to

the police station yesterday?

I knew you will attempt

something like this

That is why a month ago

when we first met...

...I introduced myself as Mano!

You have not told me your name as yet

- Vaishnavi- Vaishnavi, so sweet

Ok Vaishnavi, Shruti and I need to talk

- Can you wait there?

- N...no

Go now

I might have met you

a few times to talk to you

But you did not talk to me

even once properly

Even I bided my time and

was patient beyond normal limits

I came here to wish you

on your birthday

Think you can yell at me and humiliate me

in front of all those people publicly?

Ok, let me be honest. I want to sleep with you

That is all

I thought of approaching you

with an excuse of love or relationship

You will not allow a man

to be decent, right?

I believe he is also in love with you.

And one more thing..

Open the door- Rajiv

- Sweety- Hey, move

Open, open it- Rajeev

We need only Shruti

In your best interest

be silent, ok?

Tape this

Rajeev

Hey! Get out

Three of you listen carefully, especially you.

Shruti, keep this as a secret

You get it, right? No more complaints

In case you want to

get us caught by the Police...

...we have nothing to lose

because we know how to escape

But before that...

...think about this

at least once

What if you go viral?

Dude, when is my turn?

- Simple, let us take her

Her life is in our hands now, dude

Rajeev, are you ok?- Do not panic

Just do what I say

After a while, knock on

your neighbors door

Tell him Shruti is missing

Come to the airport

after 10:
00 p.m

Both of you stay in Nasik

till I say. She needs your help now.- Ok

You will have no problem with Krish now

Relax

In case you think I am lying

You have heard all that

you wanted to know

Tell me at least now

Tell me, who are you?

Every single word I heard that day

is etched in my memory

Krish's father told us

he was his only son

Tell me, who are you?

Give that bandage here.

Police officer Mr Deepak and new recruit

Gautham were severely injured in accident last night

Deepak who was severely injured...

...was forced to have

his right foot amputated

Since the vehicle had caught fire

during the accident...

...Gautham suffered severe burn injuries

on face and fell unconscious

Gautham admitted to hospital immediately

has slipped into coma

Gautham, can you hear me?

Good, do not panic. For the last 5 years

you have been asleep

In medical terms,

you were in coma

When you were admitted

after the accident, this was your condition

Good news for you is...

...we have grafted your face

without any scars

But the bad news is...

...we could not retain

your original facial features

Since you have been silent
