Black Friday Page #3

Synopsis: A dramatic presentation of the bomb blasts that rocked Bombay on March 12, 1993, displays the police investigation, amidst allegations of human rights violations, led by DCP Rakesh Maria, in tracking down the suspects, especially Bashir Khan. Bashir managed to elude authorities by re-locating to Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and West Bengal, after finally being apprehended in Bombay. His confession and subsequent flashbacks showcases the apathy shown by authorities who refused to intervene during the destruction of the sacred Babri Masjid by Hindu Kar Sevaks, and the inability of the police to fulfill their mandate and protect the vulnerable, forcing many to flee to other locations. The subsequent aftermath that succeeded in irreversibly polarizing communities in Bombay; Pakistan's involvement in training and arms' supplies; the main alleged suspects, Dawood Ibrahim, and Mushtaq Memon, sought refuge in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, while Indian politicians made a cosmetic move to re-

of the Marathas!

Hey this chimp is standing here.

- Hey stop!

You can't park here.

- It belongs to the HQ.

I'm the boss' man

The boss himself won't park here.

Don't you understand

what I am saying?

Farooq! - You do what you want.

I will park here.

Go ahead and book me a**hole.

Hey come inside. - He's talking

about a ticket. - Come in.

Go ahead and park.

How can I help you?

We're fine.

- You want to service the car?

No.

Then please don't park it here.

We'll take a minute. - Sir, my

boss will kill me. Please...

Hey, who is your boss?

Farooq, come on. - Who is your boss?

We'll leave it outside

Mohammed Ali's

But our people live there.

It's right next to Sena Bhavan.

Do one thing. Get down.

- Okay. - Get a taxi.

Mushtaq, you and Imtiaz go...

Zaveri Bazaar, Dhanji Marg...

leave it at the mouth

of the lane. - Okay. - Go.

Imtiaz Ghavate, a close friend of

Theba's, was also from Navpada.

They are neighbours.

Why so much traffic here?

Has something happened?

Can't you see? There's a jam ahead.

They're saying that there was a

bomb blast at the Stock Exchange

Cut through the traffic.

There's no time.

Time up.

You want to go see it? Sena

Bhavan... all the flying pieces...

That's not funny.

Tainur, Pawle, Bashir and Abdul

Akhar Yakub were sent to...

...the Macchimar colony at Mahim.

They were ordered to hurl grenades

amidst the resident houses.

During the riots all the timber

markets at Mahim were burnt...

...where Tiger used

to have a huge stake.

Chikna, Badshah and

Sheikh Ali left last.

As they drove past the Passport

Office, Chikna noticed...

...that one of the detonators

was blinking.

Mushtaq, stop the car.

Stop the car.

Badshah. What is it?

- Why is it blinking?

No idea.

What do we do?

- How do I know?

Throw it! Throw it! Throw it!

Fast! Throw it!

Somehow at that very moment the

Passport office bomb exploded too.

And they got trapped in the chaos.

Chikna was sh*t scared.

He cancelled the rest of

the plan, then and there.

Mushtaq, ditch the car somewhere.

Mushtaq left the car outside

the Siemens factory.

In the night all the boys

met at Theba's place...

...to hear the blast news on TV.

According to latest reports there

have been twelve bomb blasts...

...in quick succession in different

parts of the city...

...Stock Exchange, Zaveri bazaar,

the Air India building...

...Macchimar colony, Hotel Juhu

Centaur, Hotel Sea Rock...

...Plaza Cinema, and

Lucky Petrol Pump.

Who had gone there? - Shut up fool.

I had planted it.

But if it didn't explode...

You... - Shut up! Listen!

Relief work is on in full swing.

Chief Minister Mr. Sharad Pawar has

gone on record to say that...

Why did you put it off? Let us see.

- Shut up.

Whoever can get out of Bombay,

overnight, should get out.

...Tiger bhai's orders, none of you

should be seen in the city.

Go into hiding.

Stay in touch with Tiger bhai.

You have the Dubai number?

Stay in touch. Okay?

Come on get lost.

Sir. Your progress so far

has been commendable.

All we know is that Tiger Memon

planned and executed the blasts.

He has fled.

There was not much at his house.

His properties have been sealed.

We have the names of those who were

involved in the conspiracy with him.

But they won't be waiting

for us at their homes.

So here's what we do...

Most of them are from Navpada,

Behrampada and Dongri...

the places worst hit by

the communal riots.

Pick up everyone we grilled

during the riots.

Tap your informers.

Find out where these fellows eat,

sleep, walk, talk... everything.

Put together a list, give

it to your informers.

No one goes home till

we've got these people.

It's the holy month of Ramadan.

So be careful

Whatever you do, make sure you

don't hurt their religious sentiments

Dangle you'll handle this location.

Vani, Nadgouda and you,

form your team.

Tap everybody you know.

Be ruthless, be aggressive,

but be tactful.

Do whatever is necessary.

Sarfaraz!

Get down here.

See these names? You

know any of them?

One or two. But not that well.

- Okay, sir.

Think about it. Keep your eyes

and ears open. - Okay, sir.

Let me know if you get something.

- Okay, sir.

Who is it? Where is Parvez?

- He must be in the loo.

Parvez? Come on out.

Go to the next one.

It's occupied. Come on I can't

hold it much longer.

Can't a man crap in peace?

Get out of there!

What the hell...? Come on,

to the police station.

My boss wants to see you.

Open the door. What's the

point in hiding now?

I'm telling you. We

break the damn door.

Parvez whenever, you open the door,

you'll find us.

Go and come through the door.

Are you a monkey that you are

coming through the window?

Sir, you'll find Shoaib Ghansari in

the slums behind Sahara Airport.

Listen where's Shoaib Ghansari?

Do you know Shoaib Ghansari?

Are you deaf? We're talking to you.

Hey who will put water? You are

always asleep. No work. You just eat.

Hey Shoaib... - Wait there! Wait!

Where are you going? Come on!

Come on.

Come here.

Mother! Mother!

What's your name?

Help me! Help me!

Leave us sir. We haven't done

anything sir.

Why are these people here?

Clear them out. - Come please.

Clear them. Take them away.

One day...

we were playing cricket...

and our ball smashed Tiger

uncle's windscreen.

He came over and whacked

Bablu really hard.

We don't play cricket anymore

if we see his car parked here.

He gets so angry!

Where is Imtiaz Ghavate?

I told you! I know nothing.

I really know nothing.

Mushtaq Tarani is still in Bombay.

Some of the others went to Dubai,

some to Rajasthan.

You can pick him up tomorrow.

Hey you, hang on a minute!

Catch him!

If he's innocent you have

nothing to worry about.

He might even be home right now.

No sir. I've been back and forth for

three days, you keep saying that.

What more can I do? What?

If he's innocent he'll be let off.

Look, this doesn't have to end

With your neck in a noose.

I don't know.

Where does Imtiaz Ghavate live?

Sir I don't know. Go ask over there

You look there.

Add it to my account

Hi Sharief. - Imtiaz. - Imtiaz

Ghavate stays here? - There he is.

Where's Imtiaz Ghavate?

I don't know

We've got him

Vani, grab him!

Start the car. Come on fast.

Move the car.

No sign of him here. Will

check the station.

Water. Tea.

Get in, you filthy animal. Come on,

get behind. Hey Nahadi sit ahead.

Nahadi? Where are you? Found him?

It's Nahadi. He's right in

front of me. On the pipeline.

Keep him there. I am coming.

Sir... - Don't move from there,

we're reaching there.

Wait Imtiaz...

Wait Imtiaz...

Wait Imtiaz... don't move,

or I'll shoot.

Imtiaz, wait.

Wait!

Wait Imtiaz...

Wait Imtiaz...

Where did he go?

You didn't do anything?

Get me the hammer.

Hold him down. Hold him down.

Come on speak up.

Speak up!

You did nothing?

Nothing?

Nothing?

You did nothing?

Tell us. Tell us. You did nothing?

Stand straight.

- Straight!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
