I never thought, I'll get to

Ghalib has shed enough

tears of sorrow.

I'll shed tears of joy.

Wow, how nice.

The rest of the barracks are fine.

- What's the status here?

Sir, there's one missing

here. - Who?

Ghalib Suratwala.

Ghalib. Anyway, it's

been rightly said...

...never blow trumpets

of your good deeds.

I must admit, who thought...

Good. At least one person

will get out of here...

Good. At least one person

will get out of here...

...and lead a normal life.

What do you think?

That he'll live comfortably

after escaping from here?

This doesn't end here.

You've to keep running

all your life.

Life long.

Wherever he goes, he'll

always be afraid.

Either he'll be caught, or

be shot by the police.

Mr. Parag Dixit, you and the

deceased co-accused...

...Keshav Rathod, have been charged

under IPC section 307...

...for firing at a police officer.

But, the prosecution has

failed to prove...

...that you knew, that the

deceased co-accused...

...Keshav Rathod was

carrying firearm.

And, he was willing to fire

at the police officials.

That's why, you're

being acquitted...

...from IPC charge of 307.

However NDPS act, section

21, under which...

...you've been accused that,

drugs were recovered...

...from your possession of

commercial quantity...

...is proved beyond doubt.

You're being convicted

in this charge.

Do you want to say anything

about your sentence?

Sir, sir I didn't commit

this crime, sir.

Sir, that wasn't my bag sir.

Please, sir.

That stage has already passed now.

Do you've to say anything

about the sentence?

Your Honour, Mr. Parag

Dixit is a young man.

He has a family to run.

I request, that he's given

least sentence.

The court sentences

Mr. Parag Dixit...

...to 10 years of rigorous

imprisonment...

...under NDPS act section 21.

And 200,000 rupees fine.

If he fails to pay the fine...

...he will be sentenced to two

more years of imprisonment.

'The court's verdict didn't

just crush Parag's hopes.'

'That verdict crushed

Parag itself.'

'He withdrew into himself.'

'I saw a strange suffocation,

a strange silence in him.'

'Mansi and mother came to

see him many times.'

'But Parag never saw them.'

Madam, he doesn't want to see you.

Please leave. - Sir...

'I tried my best to relieve

him from his sufferings.'

'But a person, that has severed

all ties with life...

...he won't abide by any

other relation.'

'It seemed like, Parag

wasn'thing more...

...than a number on the

jail's register.'

'He'd stopped living.'

I asked for 50 coupons, but he

said he'll give only five.

Fine.

Chandu is standing there.

Chandu, how are you?

Kabir.

I need to get out of here.

Talk to Baba, please.

Do you know what you're saying?

You're a family man.

Don't get into these hassles.

And, then your case has been

submitted in the high court.

Who knows? You might

get acquitted.

Nothing will happen.

Nothing will happen.

I've been lying to myself

for the past two years.

Eight years, eight years more.

I can't waste it in

this false hope.

Either... either this

jail will kill me.

Or I'll kill myself.

Okay. Let's say I talk to Baba.

And he gets you out of here.

Then? What will you do

once you're outside?

I'll do anything.

I just, want to leave from here.

Anything, what do you mean?

Baba never does anything for free.

If Baba says, you've to go

out and kill someone...

...will you do it?

Tell me, tell me.

Yes.

There's a letter from

the DIG's office...

...60 inmates from our jail will

be shifted to other jails.

I've made a list.

Here. - Sir.

The shifting is after

two days. - Yes, sir.

Just see that everything goes

smoothly. - Okay, sir.

Kabir.

Did you talk to Baba?

Baba has received a tip.

Routine transfer will be

carried out in the jail.

40-50 inmates are being shifted

to another place.

Baba has used his influence and,

included your name as well.

Look, don't tell anyone

anything. - No.

Whatever is to be done next, what

will be our next movement...

...I'll inform you about it.

Get that.

Come on.

There's news for you.

You're being shifted

to Nasik jail.
