Come with me.

Mehmood, order for some tea.

No.

I apologize to you on

behalf of all my men.

Butt believe me, every

policeman isn't like that.

I'm just thinking of my brother,

at the moment.

Is he younger to you?

- Yes.

We had a fight, sir.

Actually, he never

talks to me in a high tone.

Actually, I scolded

him a bit too much.

But even then, he

should've come back home.

I asked all his friends.

But none of them know about him.

I'm not able to understand anything.

I've searched everywhere for him.

What do you mean by everywhere?

College, canteen, his

friends' houses... - Hospitals?

God forbid that

something happens to him.

But it's possible that he

may have met with and accident...

...or have tried to harm himself.

Don't get tensed, I'm just

discussing the possibilities.

Do you have any photograph of his?

I forgot it in my purse.

It's alright. You

register the complaint outside...

...and give us his details, and

send his photo as soon as possible.

We'll begin our search.

In the mean time, you call up some

hospitals and enquire about him.

Did you admit any casualty case?

Check in the emergency.

He must be around 22 years old.

No. He isn't fat.

Amit, is brother there?

- Yes, he is.

Why? Did you find out anything?

Give him the phone, I've to talk

about something important to him.

Do one thing. Come here with...

...brother, as soon as possible.

- Where?

It's just a doubt.

If you see with your own...

...eyes, then you

won't be afraid anymore.

Brother, will you show

him the body, just once?

Is this an exhibition of corpses?

You come alone once, come along

with your friend the other time.

Go now. Come in the morning.

Brother, please.

He's his elder brother.

Please, sir. Just

open it for 2 minutes.

Hurry up. If I miss my

last train because of you...

...then I'll charge

the taxi fare from you.

Do I have to send you an

invitation for coming in?

Come in and see the

face of the corpse.

I can't stand in front of

this corpse all my life.

He has been

encountered in a drug case.

He has been shot by a govt. Bullet.

He was wandering about aimlessly.

The police bore a 2 inch

hole in him and put him to rest.

Now look, how he's

stinking like a rotten dog.

Clothes, watch, ID card,

and his wallet.

We found all these

things on the dead body.

Sir.

Please sign here.

The brother who used to sit on

your shoulders, since his childhood...

...taking that same

brother to the...

...graveyard on your shoulder,

is a difficult task.

You need courage for that.

May God give you the courage!

What's the name of the dead person?

- Anuj Srivastava.

What's the name of the dead person's

father? - Late Dinanath Srivastava.

Immerse the remains.

Brother!

- I can't do this.

I can't immerse the remains of a

person who was into drug trafficking.

The police doesn't

spend lakhs of rupees...

...to train us to kill young people.

I'll immerse his remains, the

day he is my younger brother.

At the age of 10,

you'll have to fulfill...

...the duties of a

father and a brother.

From today, I handover

Anuj's responsibility to you.

Keep his reins tight,

I know that he won't do...

...anything that will ruin

the honor of our family.

I had promised my father.

My Anuj could never

do such a thing.

I know that he can never

do such a disgraceful thing.

But I have to prove

this to the world now.

I won't let my Anuj leave this

world in such a disgraceful manner.

Won't let it go.

My brother doesn't smuggle drugs.

I'm very sure about it.

Either the police have

a misunderstanding or he has...

...been trapped in a conspiracy.

- See, criminals don't have it...

...written on their faces

that they are criminals.

My brother was not a criminal.

I'm very sure about it.

He was caught red handed.

It is mentioned in the police

reports clearly that he was...

...running with 1/2 kg of drugs.

That is why I'm telling

you that give me a copy...

...of the report. I want to know

the complete truth about this.

Look, don't try to mess

around with the police.

I've told you, we cannot give

you a copy of the report.

Why can't you give it? Am I not

entitled to know the truth?

I want to know what really

happened to my brother.

Why was it necessary to shoot

him not once but thrice?

Where did the incident take place?

Other than the police was there any

other witness present at that moment?

I want to know what happened...

- Your brother was a criminal.

And he got what a hardcore criminal

deserves in a police encounter.

Look, this is an official matter.

If we start giving a copy of the

reports to the criminal's...

...family then we have to open

a new department for it.

Your brother's case has been closed.

Now you can go home and

let us do our work.

But sir, you...

- Enough!

Last time I helped you out as I

thought you were a decent man.

But if you raise your

voice one more time...

...then I have to treat

you in the same way...

...as we treat the elder brothers

of other criminals.

You two come with me.

Sir, have a strong heart and

forget about everything.

If you try to scratch

a wound it won't heal...

...but it will open up again.

Let your brother's ashes cool down.

The more you try to bring

it out it will hurt more.

My heart still doesn't agree

with it, brother Mehmood.

The charges that they have

put upon my brother...

...that can never be true.

I don't understand how did

he reach Byculla...

...that too with the trucks.

Brother Mehmood, you

have to help me.

There must be a copy to this

report in the police records.

Just get me a copy of that report.

I want to read it myself.

Just think it in this way

that this is the last...

...opportunity to meet my brother.

I know, sir.

I know very well about your

love for your brother.

I just met him for a little

while. He was a nice lad.

You go now, sir. I'll try my best.

If it's possible...

...then within two days you'll

have the copy of that report.

Thank you, brother Mehmood.

Sir, some policeman had come.

He didn't give his name. Just

gave this and went away.

Okay.

Stop! I'm telling you

stop or we'll shoot.

I'm telling you stop or we'll

be forced to shoot you.

And when our team reached

by the car, he was dead.

I just met him for a little

while. He was a nice lad.

Look, I have told you

everything that I knew.

You know something,

brother Mehmood.

Something that you

are hiding from me.

According to the police report

someone had tipped them.

They chased Anuj by car.

He didn't stop his car.

So they were forced

to shoot at him...

...which resulted in his death.

If all this is true then

where did you meet Anuj?

I... I... I didn't meet him.

I just saw his corpse.

If you didn't meet him

before his death...

...then how could you say

that he was a nice lad.

Brother Mehmood, I can't

bring my brother back.

But if you answer my question then...

...it might free him
