Why do you think

Vikram killed Shekhar?

Because frankly speaking

I don't see a motive here.

Someone who can kill his wife

won't hesitate to kill a stranger.

And, Shekhar...

And, Shekhar was only trying to save me.

But that's still not a motive.

So, are you sure Vikram

and Shekhar didn't know each other?

No...they didn't know each other.

I'm Pretty sure.

So what happened last night?

Shekhar often returned late from work.

I was alone at home.

Don't scream.

- Who else is at home?

- Who are you?

Who else is at home?

My husband...he's in the bedroom.

- Where's your husband?

- Get out!

Go away!

Come on.

I tried the key,

but the door didn't open.

Why did you lock the door from inside?

- Come back tomorrow

- No-no...it'll only take 5 minutes.

No...l said let it be.

You can wash the dishes tomorrow

Why you behaving like this.

Open the door.

Who's inside?

There's no one.

Sir is not at home.

- Please leave.

- God knows what you're doing inside.

Stay here.

The wife of Vikram Sethi, writer of the

famous novel 'Shadow Beneath the Tree',

has been murdered.

And Vikram Sethi is suspected

to be the murderer.

You killed your wife.

Right now Mumbai Police is

looking for Vikram Sethi

and checkposts have been setup

all over the city.

If anyone sees this man

then call the police

at 982001234 or message them.

Hey stop...

- Can I get a glass of water?

- Yeah, sure.

- Listen...

- Yes, sir.

- Get some water.

- Don't try to shut me up.

- My daughter is dead.

- Give me one minute.

I am tired of coming to the

Police Station every day.

Why don't you guys believe me?

Why do you keep calling me

and asking me the same

question over and over again?

I've told you a thousand times

that man killed my daughter.

Why can't you ask him?

What's going on?

Sir, he's the father

of the girl who committed suicide.

Hello.

Here.

Sir, I know you're upset

with our Department.

But, we just want to help.

You're not helping me

rather, you're asking for my help.

As long as this was

my problem alone

this case wasn't important for you.

Now, since it's become your problem

this case has suddenly

become important to you.

But don't worry,

I won't behave the way you did.

Ask whatever you like.

Why did your daughter commit suicide?

It wasn't a suicide...

It's a murder.

Vikram Sethi killed her.

Everything that happened to Sandhya

Vikram coaxed her into letting him

write a book about it.

He said that her story can help

other rape victims cope.

And, he promised that her name

would remain anonymous.

The victim's named has been

leaked on Social Media.

Who maligned the reputation

of an innocent girl?

Police investigation hasn't

revealed any hard evidence.

According to the Indian Penal Code.

The news spread

throughout the city.

"Leaking the name is a crime.

Friends and family were embarrassed.

While others were

feeling pity for her.

Madam...ma'am...

Everyone wanted

to know only one thing.

We heard that there were 5 guys.

It was terrible.

And it's all that

bloody Vikram's fault.

He sweet-talked her into it.

We never imagined he could

be such a bas

People's sym Path)!

...killed my daughter.

Sir...

- Cheers, sir.

- Cheers.

Both Maya and Vikram's stories

are believable.

We just have to find out

who is telling the truth.

I feel there are

three sides to this story.

Vikram's...Maya's...and the truth.

And We have to find the truth.

But how's it possible to

find it in 2 days, sir?

- Ohhh...so you're handling this case?

- Hmmm...

He can't be the murderer...

He's so good looking.

Then, he must have

killed her with his looks.

According to you...

Everyone is a criminal.

But genuinely Sir,

Maya is innocent.

According to her Vikram's innocent

and, according

to you Maya's innocent.

So did Shekhar hit himself on the

head with the candle-stand?

This is R-J Anmo! with you

and it's still pouring in Mumbai, but...

Sir please tell us...

Sir one question please...

Stop pacing around!

Sit down.

Wait a minute... Come here.

I said come here,

Do you need an invitation?

Come here...

Hold this... hold it.

I've to keep telling you

the Same thing over and over again.

Now hold this.

Give that.

Wait...

I am doing it na...

Why you poking around.

Come on...

Yeah...

What the...

Yeah... See?

Go sit.

Sir!

So, Mr. Writer,

according to your story...

It's not a story, sir.

Ya Whatever it is...

What happened next?

After Maya's maid left

I told her about my situation.

And, she believed you?

Yes.

Let me have a look.

In the accident...

Take your jacket off.

It's okay, I'll be fine.

Take your jacket off and sit down.

Let me clean it.

Show me.

This might burn a bit.

It's okay.

Do you think I should surrender?

Surrender?

Do you really think

the Police want to help you?

They're just interested

in closing the case.

If they can't find the real murderer

they will put it on you.

Or if your lucky maybe someone else.

My husband is a lawyer.

I know how all this works.

In fact, my husband

should be back any minute.

Since you've waited this long

why not stay a little longer.

Thank you.

- But the news...

- Don't stress yourself.

Just try and relax.

Would you like something to drink?

- Can I have some water?

- Water?

- Have a drink...

- No wait, listen...

Come on, where else will you

find such a good hostage.

Hello, Maya

Hello, sir.

Can I get you anything?

- No, thank you.

- Sure?

Small whiskey, rum, maybe some wine?

Sorry?

Come on,

you enjoy a criminal's company.

Why not the Police.

What do you mean?

Maya... Maya... Maya...

We found two glasses at your house

with Vikram and your

fingerprints on it.

And, you'll were definitely

not drinking apple juice.

Hold on...

I didn't have a drink

with Vikram willingly.

Is there a locker at home?

Do you want money?

- If you want money, I can...

- Stay there!

Is there a locker at home?

Can I drink some water?

It's right there.

Do...do you want something?

Shall I make you a drink?

Wait, just a second.

I'll make you a drink.

Do you have a bandage?

In the washroom.

I've to use the washroom.

Go ahead.

- Like this...

- Then don't...

Okay, but can you please turn around.

- How much longer?

- Just a minute.

Hurry UP-

No, not at all!

I didn't have any reason

to be aggressive

in fact she was very friendly.

If she was being so friendly

then, why didn't you also?

You look like a man

who enjoys himself.

I don't know what you would've done

if you were in my place?

But all I could think

about then was Katherine.

Just can't believe she's gone.

Everything was fine yesterday.

I don't even know how she died.

Who killed her?

Why?

And I am on the run...

I just...

I just don't know what to feel.

Sorry.

It's...

Have this... It's the best way

to drown your sorrows.

You really loved her.

People say all men are the same.

Not true.

I wish Shekhar was more like you.
