Vijay, I think that girl Jasmine is linked to this case.

Because they used to stay close. I will ask her tomorrow.

Good morning, sir. I am advocate, Seema Lakshmi.

All right, so you have come with legal protection.

Yes, why not?

I have to come like this to talk with police officers like you.

Shut up. No, don't try to frighten me.

Why am I not getting the right from the law extended to the masses?

And if I don't have the right then refuse.

And since you agree with her. What is this?

This is certificate from the eye specialist from district hospital.

Without spectacles or contact lenses Jasmine can't see anything.

He has written so in this certificate.

So how can she recognise the killer?

What other proof want? Everything is here.

The lens power and other details are in the doctor's certificate.

You can go through it.

And yes you have asked that didn't you have spectacles?

This is the photocopy of the customer receipt from Rose Opticals.

I and late Mr. Menon have given them there for repair.

Due to the power, they told me to collect them after 2 weeks.

Now, you will have prove if I had broken my spectacles..

..or lost my lenses consciously.

And your next question was my background. Identity.

These are addresses of the apartments..

..where I used to stay in Chennai and Mumbai.

And the copies of the institutes..

..where I used to work and teach before.

The one who has a criminal record doesn't have all these.

And I don't want to say any more personal details than this.

Now I want to say you one last thing.

Me not answering your questions yesterday..

..didn't mean that I was sacred by you policemen.

In fact my not answering was my mental sadness.

You know I am more restless to se the person..

..who killed Justice Menon than you.

I am ready to bear witness at any court. Now good bye.

Contact me at the office if you need me. - All right.

Okay, I will leave. Hi. Vijay. - Hi.

What are you doing here? - I came to meet the ACP.

Jasmine, this is Vijay, head of True Vision News Service.

And this is Jasmine. - I know. I have met her yesterday.

Maybe you remember.

Only Mr. Vijay was lenient with me at that time. - Is it?

And Mr. Vijay saved me from the media's attack.

Then you 2 talk. I am in a hurry.

What happened after that? - Nothing till now.

I have submitted documents to prove my innocence.

You must have read today's newspaper.

Very pretty news has been published about Jasmine.

But you know people from True Vision didn't write about me.

And has been very kind to me. - We weren't kind.

Our channel has a strong policy.

That we only show standard news.

And we don't show useless things. This is True Vision.

I don't have that. True Vision. My short eye sight.

By the way, what is your problem?

A terrible short sight.

My problem is that I can't see anything without lens.

Oh I am sorry. - That's okay.

Good morning sir. - Hi Vijay. - Hi.

What are you doing here? - I have come to meet Anand.

Retired DCP (District commissioner of Police), Mohan.

I can't bear people seeing me like this.

And Mr. Menon's daughter, son-in-law, children and other people.

All of them consider me to be justice Menon's killer.

I don't want to live suffocating like..

..this like a criminal though innocent.

I want to shift from there.

If you don't mind, Mr. Vijay I need your help.

Yes, why not? Tell me.

Find a new house for me, as soon as possible.

If possible today.

I met Mr. Menon a week ago. He seemed to be very happy.

We talked a lot and played cards.

Was Mr. Menon enemies with anyone, sir?

There cannot be anyone.

But the protectors of law can have many enemies.

Fine, sir. The last time you met did he mention anyone?

Think and tell me. Nothing.

I saw Menon was habituated to live along since the last few years.

Maybe he has gone crazy because of old age.

Anand, whoever has done this has done a bad thing.

Use your entire force and find the killer. - I will do it, sir.

Okay, see you, Anand. - Okay sir.

Anand, is some girl involved in this case?

Has she seen everything?

Yes, sir. But that girl has got problematic eyesight.

That's why she couldn't see him properly.

I think she is very tricky.

Sure. It's a lovely house. Thank you very much.

How many times will you thank me today?

How can I believe that you found a house for me in a day, Mr. Vijay?

Not Mr. Vijay only Vijay.

Vijay I have told your friend the ACP my new home address.

Otherwise tomorrow it will be published..

..that a girl trapped in rumours has fled.

Jasmine.

Nothing. It is a nice name. It sounds like perfume.

You felt it. This is the problem.

Everything about me is like that.

It seems something and is another thing.

What do you mean?

I am the only eye witness of Menon uncle's murder.

An eye witness without eyesight.

I saw but didn't see. I saw but didn't see.

But in reality I didn't see anything.

Vijay I have never thought about my life till now, Vijay.

But I am very sad today.

The one who gave me happiness, a father's love.

A decent man whose murder ran away in front of me.

And I couldn't even recognise him.

Jasmine, leave it. Relax.

Everyone is worried about my background.

My village girl mother Saraswati had a love marriage..

..a Muslim businessman in Flora fountain called Salim Khan.

And I am their offspring.

I don't know which religion to embrace.

I learnt their language and their customs.

And after they separated I was totally confused. Confused.

I said everything but you didn't tell me anything Vijay.

Even my life story has taken such turns.

To tell the truth I have no relatives. I am alone.

So our story is the same.

But I don't know why I told you all this.

Maybe you are friend in need.

What was that drama?

You are not scared of the police.

Where is your legal protection now?

What have you thought about me?

Because I was lenient with a mad girl like you.

But the police are police.

If the need arises not only you even your guardian angels..

Leave it. Otherwise I will raise my hand uselessly.

Tell me who is after you. - I am telling the truth.

I don't know anything. I went there to do shopping.

And suddenly that man fell on top of me. - Very good.

You want to say that great man die at your feet, right?

You are not a goddess. - It is not like that.

I don't know that man.

I saw him for the first time outside your office.

I don't know what is his name or profession.

All right. Very good. So you have no connection with him.

Anand about this.. - No. Shivram. - Sir.

Come with me.

Anand, why are you torturing Jasmine?

Vijay you don't know. 2 murders in 3 days.

That also of great men, in my area in front of this girl.

So what? - This girl is connected to the murders.

Listen, Vijay.

Even Mr. Mohan came to me when this day this girl came to me.

He said that don't spare Menon's killer on any condition.

So what, Anand? This is not a connection.

What do you think of Mr. Mohan?
