Sir. - Please pack the food quickly, okay.

Okay sir.

Was I very late?

No problem!

You are very late.

Let me get the food packet, then just watch how I drive.

No grandpa, my father says you are trying to enjoy in your old age.

Forget your papa.

I have been driving even before he was born.

Since childhood.

You are making fun of me.

What is your programme after dropping us?

Programme! After dropping you both I will enjoy alone.

Excuse me sir, your parcel. Thank you.

Grandfather, why are you driving so slow?

Drive faster, or else the teacher will be angry.

Is that so, I will appease your teacher.

Don't worry about that.

Good morning.

Sorry, sorry for being late.

Whenever the police do their duty you arrive there with the camera.

Get lost from here before I raise my hand!

Forget about raising your hand.

You are doing your work and I am doing mine.

And why are you worried if the public is watching your duty.

Remember one thing, I am not one of those police officials..

..who are afraid of the camera.

My name is John Wargis, I am not afraid.

I know on whose orders are you uprooting..

..these people who earn their livelihood after a hard day's work.

And that's what I want to tell the public.

Fredrick. - Yes. - Come on! - Yes sir.

Welcome back to True Vision.

Like always, this is his plan with is contractor friend Sachidanand.

And breaking the rule of this complex..

..a multi-storey complex has to be constructed here.

And the truck filled with the materials..

..to construct that building will go through here..

..destroying these poor people.

Even after the police's interference and hooliganism..

..we are bringing to you this report. Bye. Cut it.

Retired judge.. - There is no need for your introduction.

That's absolutely wrong!

This is not the way to remove them. - Sir, just a minute.
