Because you hated me!

I regret that because of me you

have experienced only failure.

Today you have an opportunity.

Akash Ranjan is not behind this

corruption expose, I am.

This was to be revealed in

today's press conference.

Kill me and your mission

will definitely succeed.

Which father won't rejoice

at his son's success?

Professor Shastri!

- Mr. Shastri!

Please open the door!

Professor Shastri!

- Mr. Shastri!

Please open the door!

Let's break the door!

Did Ajay come here?

He was here, but he's gone.

Bhai! Ajay has left the Media Centre.

He didn't come into our car.

Is the work done?

No bhai! The reporter

is in front of me.

Khan and Ajay's father

are with him too.

Okay!

All of you leave from there.

Are all the gates locked?

- Yes sir.

What to do Ajay bhai?

You know the game.

Hey, keep your hand up!

Start the car!

Hello!

- Where do you want to meet?

I, Ajay Shastri, son of Raghuvansh

Shastri, district Salampur.

In my senses, without

being pressurized...

...willingly confess to the police.

There are 47 kidnapping, murder...

...and extortion cases against me.

I don't remember the date but

after kidnapping Soorjamal I...

...took him in the dickey of my

car to Tabrez Alam's house.

He was angry that I had

murdered Gaya Singh.

After I justified my deed,

I joined the gang.

On his orders on 12th October we...

...kidnapped Dr. Ved Prakash

from the hospital.

Tabrez Alam's brother, Usman,

collected the ransom.

I got one lakh for this job.

From where you used to get

the money and manpower?

There's a storeroom of weapons

at Tabrez Alam's house.

Usman also keeps weapons with...

...a lot of people around Salampur.

I know those people and places well.

You are signing your death warrant.

If you want, you can still withdraw.

Wish I could!

After this confession, you'll

be in our custody.

Trust us. Till you're here,

you'll be safe.

You're getting late. Carry on.

Tabrez Alam will be arrested

but it's a sensitive matter.

I'll speak to the Minister.

We may lose this opportunity. Please!

Fine! You keep an eye on Tabrez's...

...house and wait for my call.

I'll go to the Ministry myself.

- Please sir!

Good work, Khan!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Dinkar it is late now.

I am willing to leave the Home

Ministry. - That won't be enough.

Your supporting

party's deserting you.

You can't blackmail

me with just 35 MLAs.

What about the CBI inquiry?

Take the moral responsibility

and resign.

I'll think about you.

Write I, Dinkar Pandey, am

hereby resigning from...

Hello sir.

- Hello.

Sir, Ajay Shastri is in our custody.

He's made a statement

against Tabrez Alam.

We can arrest him now.

According to your CID' report how...

...many MLA's are supporting Tabrez?

Including Daya Shankar's

group, it is 55.

55, and mine is 35.

You've done a great job.

Leave this file here.

It's a sensitive matter.

I'll speak to the Chief Minister.

Sir... - Don't worry. You'll

get your reward soon. - Sir

Bhai, Pandey's called!

Yes, Mr. Pandey!

Your boy's in our custody.

And he's exposed you totally

in his confession.

So you want to make a deal!

Obviously!

The conspiracy to

murder a reporter...

...and pull down the Government.

You won't be able to prove anything.

I know! But at least I

can put you in jail.

Tabrez bhai, no one will

benefit from this battle.

What is the price of saving

you from this political mess?

We'll make you a minister.

Name the chair and it's yours!

What's the matter? Isn't sir back?

- Sir is sitting inside.

Sir, he left right in front of me

I kept calling you.

Relax Khan! Nothing can be done now.

The political turmoil in the

state has taken a new turn.

MLA Tabrez Alam came with

his 55 supporters.

And he has withdrawn the no

confidence motion conditions.

He's now supporting Dinkar Pandey.

So the Home Minister who was...

...resigning now has around

100 supporters.

We've heard that Tabrez Alam's

joining the government.

He's sure to be a Minister now.

Long live Dinkar Pandey!

Long live Tabrez Alam!

Sorry! In spite of your huge

sacrifice, we lost.

Your life is in danger!

You can escape if you want.

I've run enough! No more!

Anyway in my business you can't run.

How shall I help you?

Just do one thing for me.

By five thirty in the morning

I'll pick you up.

Son! - Father, you? - Son,

I was missing you.

You took so long father.

Never before...

I made a mistake son.

I am still suffering.

But what should I do father?

What punishment will undo

all that I've done?

And start with a clean state, father.

If you had made me realize once...

...then I wouldn't have gone so far.

Now what can I do?

I've caused you such pain!

I've become an unworthy son!

No, I wasn't worthy of you!

I look too long to understand you.

I thought, one day I'd succeed

and do you proud.

But I kept sinking deeper into hell!

It doesn't matter. I am

proud of who you are.

And listen son, don't repent.

Instead do something to

atone for what you did.

I will. I'll atone for my deeds.

Father, you please forgive me!

It's a little cold.

I hereby solemnly pledge

that I will have full...

...respect for and faith in

the Indian Constitution.

I will protect the greatness

and solidarity of my country.

I shall respectfully fulfil

all the duties...

...of the post I am accepting.

Good morning sir! What

a pleasant surprise!

How did the media know

that I was coming?

Did you invite them?

- No sir!

Get them out!

People like you don't learn.

Where have you kept him?

Open the door. - Sir.

Open!

It really hurts me to

see tears in your eyes.

Are you scared?

But you were very brave!

What did you say the first

time you met me?

'Tabrez bhai, I can give my life

for you and take lives too.'

And I, trusted you like a son,

opened all doors for you.

I treated you like an equal but you!

Not only did you betray your father

and me but also yourself.

How will face your self?

Take. Have some sweets.

I've become a minister,

thanks to you.

If you hadn't betrayed

me, I wouldn't...

...support that scheming Pandey.

You've given me the Home

Minister's chair. Eat!

You took a fancy to Pandey!

What could he do for

you that I couldn't?

He'd make you win the

Motipur election?

And all I'd give you was

humiliation and insults?

How will you understand?

My brother Usman, whose son

we sacrificed for our ideals.

I gave you a place higher than him!

What answer shall I give Him?

I made a mistake. I'll rectify it.

It's your good fortune

and my misfortune...

...that I am the Home Minister.

And I cannot kill you today.

But tomorrow, you will have to go!

You just have time till tomorrow.

Tabrez bhai!

I didn't have time till tomorrow!

Bhai! Bhai!
