..and Mr. Menon is not good. - What is the truth? - That..

Mr. Jatin? Yes, sir.

What do you do? I work in R.D. office.

How did you come to know of Mr. Menon's murder?

I and my wife were leaving for the Christmas party.

Then we heard a scream from upstairs.

When we went upstairs..

How did you know that he was dead?

Dr. Toni from the flat upstairs told me.

Yes, sir, I am Toni.

Where were you at that time?

I was at my flat. When Pawan told me.

I went and examined Menon. His pulses have stopped.

Has anyone made an entry after 6:30 yesterday?

It was the owners' children's Christmas party.

There were many guests that's why there was no entry.

So guests don't make an entry?

Keep care in the future.

Mr. Jatin, what is the name of the girl who saw the killer?

Jasmine. - Was the murder committed in front of her?

Sir, she had poor eye sight.

She had lost her contact lenses.

Because of which she was very worried.

That's why she came outside to call Mr. Menon.

She saw it then.

Do you know anything else about Jasmine?

Nothing special. She has come recently to the city.

She is a compute engineer in a firm.

I just know that she has domestic connection with Mr. Menon.

Shivram - Sir. - Follow me.

Come let's see that girl. - Sir, that girl is much tensed.

She has fainted many times.

The doctor has examined her too.

Now go and collect the other proofs, I will go and meet the girl.

Sir.

I will talk to her. Go. - But sir.. Sir.

Sir the press people want to take photographs.

Sir, they are not listening to me even after my refusal.

What do I do?

Who wants to do video shooting here?

Sir, we are standing here since the last 12 hours.

And we are not even allowed to take pictures.

Is this justice? - Don't teach me law.

Sir, I am from True Vision channel.

I want to have a live coverage of the murder spot.

You will shoot the dead body.

You are always waiting for someone to die..

..so that you can have interview.

Who murdered? And then how to catch the murderer?

Why are we wearing uniforms? Listen.

Go from here. - Sir, please don't touch me.

If I do? - I told you don't touch me. - Move from here.

Strange. Move. - Excuse me. Vijay. Executive director.

True Vision News services. Please let him go inside.

I can't go against law. - I have just seen you and your law.

What do you know about law?

Please behave yourself.

I have to meet the assistant commissioner of police inside.

I will talk to him and not to you. - Where are you going?

Entry is prohibited.

What is happening here?

Have you got the license to beat by having the camera?

First make him understand that.

Has your department given him the license to be a rogue?

Don't think that we have come to rule here.

We have come here with the liberty provided..

..to us by the news service network.

Stop it. Mr. Vijay. I don't have time to argue.

And don't prevent us in our work.

We don't want all proofs to be erased.

Mr. Anand. May I ask you something?

What are the proofs there which..

..will disappear as soon as we go inside?

But if it hurts your pride then we will leave from here.

But we will be forced to take the matter to the home minister.

Let him go. I shouldn't face difficulties because of him.

Not only that.

What are your comments regarding justice Menion's murder?

No comments.

All right. You have to say the same in front of the camera.

No comments.

Sir. She is waiting for you. Jasmine.

Jasmine.

Say yes or no. - Yes.

Then tell me, how did he look like?

He..

Do you have a problem in speech?

I didn't see him.

You just said that you saw him. Have you forgotten it?

What did you say?

I couldn't see him properly.

I had not worn my contact lens then. I had lost them.

You have found a good excuse.

What do you mean?

I will tell you..

I don't believe in what you told the police and the people here

Your explanation of the situation is least convincing.

For instance, one thing that everyone knows.

A fact of common knowledge.

Every person who uses such contact lenses has a pair of spectacles.

Do you have those spectacles?

If you have, are they in this flat?

So when you lost your lenses why you went..

..to call Menon instead of wearing them.

How could I wear them? My spectacles have broken.

Cut the bull sh*t.

Just think with whom you are talking to.

The spectacles breaking. The loss of contact lenses.

And then seeing a killer whom no one saw and then turn back.

And don't think I am fool.

And tell me another thing.

You were in Chennai before joining Multimedia.

But where you before that? Tell me.

Come on tell me. Where do you belong to?

Where is your family?

Family? I was in Mumbai before coming to Chennai.

Then why did you come to Kerala?

Tell me what your connection is.

You can leave.

Listen to one thing. You will meet me again at my office.

Answer my question after thinking then. Understand?

Please madam. 1 second.

Can you tell me what happened in front of you?

Any comments.

Mira, leave her.

Leave her alone.

Thanks. - It's okay.

Good evening. - Come, good evening.

I knew you would come.

What was the need to act there?

Listen, Vijay. Don't try to insult the police. Understand?

Remember the time when you broke..

..a police jeep before joining the police force.

You are talking f that time. My friends had teased me.

Okay. In front of me.

Greetings. Your interview was great.

Do you have an opener? - I have one but it doesn't work.

Okay. I thought I will meet Vijay before going home.

There is complaint against you.

You create a lot of problems in the district commissioner's house.

That is the matter of my house.

The ACP shouldn't say anything.

I can do anything in my house after drinking beer.

You will say that you find it cheap comedy.

Vijay. Vijay you tell me. Who am I to him? - Who are you?

I am his father's sister's son.

Then I am his elder brother, right? - Right. - Isn't it?

Yes. - When he insults me I feel like committing suicide.

That is okay. Listen.

According to protocol you are my sub-ordinate. Youngest.

Protocol. God is biggest of all. God.

If he doesn't support you then.. - May I come in, sir?

Yes. - Come.

One minute.

This is news of 3 minutes. Give it to Nina.

Okay sir. - Okay. What about your investigation?

Got any clue? - Absolutely nothing.

Who will get anything by killing a person like Mr. Menon?

If not for property, then Menon's life must be hurting someone.

That's right. It may be right.

Mr. Menon must have opened the door thinking that..

..the children have come to invite him for the program.

With his clothes it is found that the shooter has shot Mr. Menon..

..as soon as he opened the door and has run away from there.

The shooter who does that is hired. - You are right.

Look Anand. What can is ay now? It's not a perfect killing.

Maybe he had some motive.

You know I met Mr. Menon 4 days ago.

I was about to meet him today for our program.

I didn't know that I had to take his dead body pictures today.
