---

What price you'd get for him.."

"..when our coin is fake."

"Look how his fair

skin became dull."

"Look, the crow

wants to be a swan."

You look good.

Why are you hiding behind make up?

You don't like it?

l'm trying to hide my hideousness.

l'm sorry, Sandhu.

Kashmiri Pulao, l made it.

How's the Kashmiri Pulao?

Hey Vasu.

l found an eye witness in the slum,

you can meet him tomorrow.

Not tomorrow, l'll be right there.

Don't move, l'll be there.

l have to leave.

l'll have dinner and then leave.

And then I will drop you off

at brother-in-law's place.

A little more.

Jolly...

- Where is he?

- There.

This is Advocate Jagdish Tyagi,

Jolly, my boss.

l told you about him.

Right.

What do you know

about the accident?

l know everything, sir.

lt happened before my eyes.

The deceased were relatives.

l personally kept the

bodies in the police vehicle.

Will you testify in court?

You have to say what you saw.

That l can't do.

l'm a daily wage laborer.

lf l skip work to appear in court,

l won't have money for dinner.

lt's tough for the

poor to get justice.

You don't get justice,

you have to fight for it.

lf everyone starts to think like

you, more accidents will follow.

Six people died that night,

next it could be eight.

But someone has to take a stand.

Fine!

But l can't do it.

Why should I be the scapegoat?

l told you everything I knew.

But l won't testify in court.

Why did you call me here at this hour,

if you're afraid to tell the truth?

Stay as you are.

Whether you testify or not...

l will find the truth.

You think you will

find it in Delhi?

Go to Gorakhpur,

that's where you'll find truth.

What's up?

Are you heading out?

- How does it matter to you?

- lt does.

Right now everything

about you matters to me.

Open his bag.

Don't touch my bag!

No...

Don't tell us what we can't do!

You can't go anywhere tonight.

Leave for Gorakhpur

tomorrow morning.

How do you know about that?

How do I know?

He's asking, how do l know.

We are your shadow.

Where you go, whom you meet...

what you eat, drink...

we know everything.

Haldiram!

That's why l was given security.

You're not a child, are you?

You're smart enough to figure that.

Let go of the gun.

Don't you recognize me?

l'm Sub Inspector Satbeer Rathi,

special branch.

Lower your weapon.

l know you and that's why I said,

let go of the gun.

l stepped out for a few minutes

and you pulled a gun on Mr. Jolly.

You do the dirty deeds

and blame it on us.

Mr. Jolly, I'm not an informant.

l'm your bodyguard.

And as long as my body

will support, l will guard you.

l said leave it.

Okay, l'll do it.

Leave it.

Don't try to move.

Sir, please leave.

l said leave,

l'll stand guard here.

Don't try to move.

By the time you get there, the

police would've done their task.

Sadakanth Mishra?

Yes?

Everybody stand up.

lt's okay if you don't respect the

judge, at least respect the law.

There's no respect in lndia.

Great... thank you.

For once can l have warm tea?

Can you do anything right?

Yes, Mr. Tyagi...

what would you like to say?

Thank you, sir.

l'd like to call upon...

the investigating officer

Sub lnspector Rathi.

And we had submitted

advance notice about the witness.

Okay, call him.

- Yes, stand there.

- Yes sir.

How're you, Mr. Rathi?

All good.

You are the investigating

officer in this case?

Yes.

Can you swear that you

completed all your tasks honestly?

Yes, of course.

l investigated all the

facts honestly and diligently.

These are the names of the

people who were killed that night.

Can you read them to the court?

Read.

Sir?

Yes, go on.

This is getting interesting.

Kunwarpal, Anjani Singh, Jodh

Singh, Krishna Paswan, Jeevan...

Mr. Rathi.

lf l tell you something,

promise me you won't laugh.

Yes.

Ever since l took up this case,

l see them in my dreams.

They say you didn't

investigate honestly.

ln that case,

why don't you call a ghost.

He will tell you the truth.

That's what l want to do.

Because you declared

one of them dead.

Victim number six, Sadakanth

Mishra is alive, your honor.

And Sub lnspector Rathi declared

him dead in the police files.

l wish to call on the most important

witness, Sadakanth Mishra.

l object!

Here we go again.

You can't present a

witness without advance notice.

Your honor,

l know l haven't given notice.

But if l hadn't done this, the

witness would never make it to court.

Another story.

This is a court proceeding.

This is not a local

village gathering...

where anyone can

walk in as they please.

Your honor, this is the

last chance to know the facts...

to know the truth.

Okay, sit down.

We'll get to the truth later.

Your truth can wait, sit down!

Mr. Rajpal...

Mr. Tyagi...

go ahead and call the witness.

- Sir!

- Thank you.

Mr. Rajpal,

l'm permitting it, so it's done.

Mr. Tyagi, l'm allowing you

to bring the witness.

But rules are rules.

You cannot call a

witness just like that.

l am permitting it.

lt's alright.

Go on, bring the witness.

Sir, the rules don't permit it.

You have to give advance notice.

Mr. Rajpal, I know the rules too.

You know...

l am permitting it...

end of discussion.

According to Supreme Court

guidelines, it is not right.

You cannot call such a witness, how

can you call such a witness, sir?

Excuse me?

l said, how can you

call such a witness?

- How can l?

- Yes.

Mr. Rajpal, this is my court,

not your club.

You get it?

Here only l can.

And l am doing this.

This is illegal.

Mr. Rajpal, stop interrupting me.

This is illegal.

No...

You are in contempt of court.

Contempt of court?

l am making an objection.

There's something illegal

and l'm in contempt of court?

Mr. Rajpal, why are you arguing?

l said, sit down.

Please sit down.

l will not sit.

Mr. Rajpal, I am ordering you...

just sit down!

Sit down!

Right now!

- l cannot believe this...

- That's enough!

lt's not the end of this.

l will go to the Bar Council.

l am going to make

a big stink of this.

This cannot go on.

- l cannot believe...

- l said, that's enough!

Not one word.

l said, shut up!

l don't want another word from you!

Silence!

ln my 30 years of my career...

That such a thing has

happened in court...

- l cannot...

- l said, silence!

This is my court.

Shut up!

And just shut up!

l'm sitting here now, sir.

l am down.

Get me a cup of tea...

and also for Mr. Rajpal.

Damn your stupid tea.

So, Mr. Tyagi...

what were you saying?

l want to call upon

Sadakanth Mishra.

Go ahead.

Move, please.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Sadakanth Mishra.

How are you related to this case?

l am the sixth person that

allegedly died in this accident.

What?

Can you tell the court

what happened that night?

Sir, we were sleeping

on the footpath that night.

lt was my sister's wedding.

We were to leave for our

village the next morning.

l was woken up by a loud sound.

lt seemed as if

a bomb had gone off.
