that there is definitely some...

difference between the police

report and the actual incident.

The court admits this case and

gives the prosecution a chance...

...to produce it's witnesses.

The case is admitted.

The hearing of this case will begin

on Monday from 10 pm onwards.

Mr. Malkani, are you her guru

or it's the other way round?

I think the girl will

make the going tough.

Don't worry, A.C. P, sir. If a new

driver honks the horn too much...

...then it doesn't mean that

he is gonna win the race.

Winning needs experience. And

experience is right ahead of you.

The city is free from any danger

in my presence...

A.C. P, Yashwant Thakur.

He is trying to ruin the respect

that I earned in so many years.

He will accuse me? Accuse

me? He will accuse...

...A.C. P, Yashwant Thakur? - Sir you?

I won't spare that, rascal!

- You are not in your senses.

You will bring me back to my

senses. You will do that?

Thakur, sir, what are you doing?

I am your associate.

Shut up! Shut up! If you had

been my associate then you...

...would have tolerated

my insult in the court.

That, b*tch, was accusing me in

front of that judge and you...

...were seated like a mute spectator?

Sir, I am your associate. - You

bloody liar! You are a liar!

Sir, leave him. Sir, leave him.

Sir, please listen to me.

Sir, I have the record room

register. The, Anuj Srivastav...

...police report hasn't

been issued to anybody.

It means someone has stolen it from

there and given it to them. - Yes.

That means someone from our police

station sneaked in to the...

...record room and

worked against us.

It also means that there is a

traitor in our own department.

Come in. Mr. Mehmood, you have

to stay away from your...

...family for some days.

These are some eatables for you.

You don't bother about me. I

am aware of your hardships.

I have spent 25 years

in this police force.

I very well know as to what

I am doing. You go. Go.

Mr. Agnihotri, you are the

principal of the college.

Yes.

Anuj Shrivastav used to

study in your college?

Yes.

Mr. Agnihotri, can you

tell the court...

...that the night that Anuj

Shrivastav was killed...

...in a police encounter,

the same morning...

...you were about to rusticate

him from the college?

Yes.

Can you tell us, why you

were about to do that?

Because Anuj was caught red

handed along with his friends.

Can you tell us, doing what?

He was removing the copies of

the question paper from my locker.

That means. He was stealing,

Milord, He was stealing.

Mr. Agnihotri, can you

tell the court...

...why he was doing like this?

Maybe to copy or...

- To earn money?

For his leisure activities,

Anuj Shrivastav wanted to earn...

...money, he needed money

now and then, Milord.

And therefore he tried to steal

the papers from the college...

...and tried to earn money,

and he was unsuccessful...

...in it, and therefore he went

back to his old profession.

The profession of selling drugs.

But Milord, maybe that day

was very unlucky for him.

He was caught red handed

on that day too.

He knew what a serious crime

he had committed...

...and therefore, even though

the police warned him twice...

...he did not stop,

and therefore...

...the police were forced to

shoot him. And he was killed.

Does the Prosecution wish

question the witness?

Mr. Agnihotri, how many students

must be there in your college?

Roundabout... two thousand

five hundred.

And you know everyone of

these 2500 personally?

No. The truth is that

I don't even...

...know the names of many

of these students.

But you knew Anuj very well

even before this incident?

Yes.

Will you please tell the court

the reason for that?

Because Anuj...

...was one of those students

whom not only me...

...but the whole staff of the

college knew very well.

Mr. Agnihotri, are these

the reports of Anuj?

Yes.

He always used to score

more than ninety percent.

Not only this, in sports,

dramatics...

...dance competitions,

everywhere...

...everywhere, he was number one.

So, Mr. Agnihotri, do you

think that a student...

...like Anuj can do a serious

crime like drug trafficking?

Instead of speaking

to my witness...

...on the basis of proof,

she is asking him guess.

Your Honor, the defense

lawyer wishes...

...to tell us something about

Anuj's character...

...with the help of his witness.

Even I am doing the same.

Yes, so Mr. Agnihotri,

do you think...

...that a student like Anuj

Shrivastav deal in drugs?

The point be noted, Milord.

The witness that has been

brought by the defense...

...lawyer to accuse Anuj

Shrivastav, he's not sure.

Milord, my next witness is a...

...fast friend of Anuj

Shrivastav, Mohit Bhattacharya.

Yes, tell me Yadav.

Since the time the police

report's copy has...

...disappeared from the police

station... - Yes? - Since that...

...time everybody has come

to the police station.

Except one person.

- Who?

Mehmoodbhai.

He hasn't come on duty

since two days...

...nor has he gone home.

Hey!

Let him go sir, he is a kid.

Mehmoodbhai! Friend, what

had we done to him?

I understood now. How the copy...

...of the police report

disappeared from...

...the police station. He has

offered water for too long.

But you won't get any water.

He used to drink,

he used to gamble...

...he used to visit discos,

he hosted parties...

...he used to do many

things, Milord.

These habits of his had

increased so much...

...that he had to be admitted

in the hospital once.

Now, for all these things,

he couldn't...

...ask his elder brother for

money, every other day.

Therefore, he took up a short

cut for this. Milord.

But that poor man

didn't know that...

...this isn't the shortcut

of earning money...

...but it is a shortcut to death.

Shortcut to death!

Was Anuj your friend?

Yes. He was my best friend.

I am very sorry that...

Did you go with Anuj

to discos frequently?

Yes.

So can you tell us,

that in a disco...

...how many people

of your age go?

Yes, maybe some four hundred

or five hundred.

And how many such discos

exist in Mumbai city?

Counting all the small and

big ones, maybe 200-250.

That means, with the

calculation of 500...

...of your age, some 1,25,000

boys and girls go to discos.

Yes.

So, did you always tell

at home and go?

No.

So it is obvious that the others

didn't tell at home and go too?

Yes.

So, even they must be facing

problems to take money from home?

So then?

No.

There are no problems,

something or the other is managed.

Please point this note, Milord.

That in Mumbai city, everyday,

almost 1.25 lakh boys and girls...

...visit discos, without

informing their homes...

...and managing something

from somewhere.

So, does the defense

lawyer wish to say...

...that everyday, almost 1.25

lakhs deal in drugs...

...just to visit discos?

As for the question...

...of smoking and drinking,

hiding from the elder brother...

...I don't think that it is a
