Monica

Synopsis: Public Prosecutor Mathur names an accused, Sandeep Mishra, and three other suspects who had arranged the homicide of Lucknow-based journalist Monica. The trio are Aseem Ray - a wealthy publisher; Pamela Grewal - a businesswoman; and Chandrakant Pandit - the former Telecom Minister and soon-to-be Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. With odds stacked heavily against him, Mathur presents, what is an apparent circumstantial case before a female judge, and must prove beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt, that Sandeep was directly involved - even though direct evidence indicates that the murder was committed by two unknown males, and that the deceased victim lived a dual life.

'Mr. Jaitley, will you please

tell us who is responsible for it?'

Whatever has happened

with Monica Jaitley..

'Mr. Jaitley,

I am Anil Sharma from Zee TV.'

You tell me, who do you suspect?

No! No, please, no.

I don't have anything else to say.

Go. Please go.

'Still the question arise that did

you have any idea about it before?'

'Mr. Jaitley,

please reply my one question.'

What do you want to ask? What?

'Did you have any idea or

indication about this incident?'

Look, what was destined

to happen has already happened!

I have nothing more

to say about Monica.

Come on, I will also take a leak.

Hey, how is your

flow longer than mine?

A person should be

tall to squirt a long flow.

Raise your heels and

you too squirt a long flow.

What's great about it?

Quite simple, you know.

I have got it. Raise your heels and..

Got it! - Understood?

Very good.

But don't understand more, otherwise..

..we will have to cut

you down to size as well.

Come on.

"I am still young."

"I am still young."

"I am still young."

"Everyone who has come

to meet is a hazy shadow."

"They look unknown,

but they found a place in my heart."

"Don't leave me alone,

there is darkness around."

"The life is a quandary,

there is no peace."

"I have lost myself somewhere."

"I have lost to myself somewhere."

"I have lost myself."

"I have lost to myself."

Perhaps..

perhaps there is someone outside.

Raj! Raj, don't disconnect the call.

I am not done yet.

Hi, Monica.

Monica?!

Monica?!

Monica?!

Hello?

"Papa says I will become famous."

"My son will do such a great thing."

Hey, what's this?

You have made me miss the opening.

I wanted to watch Aamir

Khan's opening scene.

We are late because

of me or because of you?

You can't decide anything on time.

It is important to test

our destiny for every new thing.

"The groom will come

along the wedding procession."

"The night will be

colorful." - Oh, dear.

"I will dance in a

state of exhilaration."

Am I wrong?

I just want to be friends with you.

Hey, keep sitting quietly.

"There are no sorrows

when we are alone."

Monica! Monica!

Monica, where are you going?

But what happened? At least tell me.

Tell me.

What happened? Monica?!

Look, we have this diary with us.

She has written everything

in it about that theatre incident.

Didn't she ever tell you anything?

You were her mother.

You should have known what had

happened with her during childhood.

'So you have returned?'

'The school was over long back.'

'Where were you till now?'

'I have forbidden you so many times..'

'..not to go around with that girl.'

'To hang around with your

friends daily, going for movies..'

'..we don't approve of it,

understood?'

'There is no effect on her.'

'She is least bothered to study.'

'She hangs around with

friends the all day long..'

'..and goes to watch movies

in the evening. Are you deaf..

..that I have to shout at you?'

'If you continue such behavior..'

'..watch it,

you will repent a lot one day.'

'Amidst all the legal turmoil,

today at last Monica Jaitley's..'

'..Murder Case is presented

in the court formally.'

We want justice for Miss. Monica.

We will never tolerate

any injustice being done to her.

It is not good to defame

anyone without evidence.

Give justice to Monica Jaitley.

The main accused of this case, Mr.

Sandeep Mishra..

..who got the others punished

as an advocate till yesterday..

..today he is going to stand

in the witness box as a culprit.

'Mr. Mishra, last year on 8th May,

exactly one day before..'

'..Monica's murder, Mr.

Chandrakant Pandit..'

'..and Mr.

Vora come to an understanding..'

'..that Mr. Vora will quit his

post of a minister of Uttar Pradesh.'

'He comes to Delhi to meet Mr.

Chandra to give this assurance.'

'And you call Monica to

Lucknow and she is murdered.'

'Mr. Mishra,

was Monica an obstacle in this deal?'

Okay, Mr. Pandit, we will meet

again tomorrow evening in Lucknow.

Once again, welcome back.

Thanks.

And I mean it.

Goodbye.

Sir! Sir, it's Mr.

Mishra's call from Lucknow.

Mr. Pandit,

congratulations for your post as a CM.

Everyone here is

impatient to meet you.

Mr. Mishra, I am impatient too,

till father's soul attains salvation.

Look, nothing should

go wrong at the last moment.

Rest assured.

Everything is under control.

And yes, Monica.. - Monica?

What's wrong with her?

What else?

I have called her here to Lucknow.

So you have found her?

Where could she have escaped from us?

She had to come back to us.

'On one hand Mr.

Sandeep Mishra's arrest gives an..'

'..indication of

differences between him..'

'..and Mr. Chandrakant Pandit.'

'On the other hand,

his silence clearly proves..'

'..that the pressure of some people

is forcing him to remain silent.'

Honorable Judge, the prosecution

will try to prove three.

..things in this court.

Number one:
How was Miss.

Monica Jaitley murdered?

Number two:
Who killed her?

And number three: Why did he kill her?

According to the police report,

on 9th May, 2007..

..around 5:
15 pm,

Monica was attacked with a dagger..

..and a piece of wire

at her parents' house.

Just after some time of her murder,

her parents found her dead.

The time those murderers

had come to kill Monica..

..co-incidentally she

was talking to her husband..

..Mr. Raj Jaitley over the phone.

Who do you think..

Who do you think

is responsible for this?

There are no fingerprints on it,

but it is the same dagger..

..which was stabbed on

Monica's body for six times.

And this is that wire by

which she was strangled to death.

Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

The murder weapons.

Mr. Raj Jaitley,

why had Monica come to Lucknow?

Point number two:

Who had killed Monica?

Honorable Judge, the prosecution

is still alleging Mr. Sandeep Mishra..

..as the main accused because

it was Mr. Sandeep Mishra..

..who has made the last

phone call to Monica's cell phone.

Besides it,

according to the statement..

..of sub-inspector Mr.

Hanumant Singh..

..Monica was spotted for

the last time at hotel Deepshikha..

..with Mr.

Sandeep Mishra during a raid.

Honorable Judge, the medical

and other reports too prove..

..a physical relationship between

Monica and Mr. Sandeep Mishra.

Why did Monica spend that

night with Mr. Sandeep Mishra?

This fact had a deep

connection with this murder.

But the most important question is,

point number three.

Why was Monica killed?

What is the motive of her murder?

So, Honorable Judge,

the prosecution will try..

..to prove that Mr. Sandeep Mishra..

He had not planned this murder alone.

On one hand there are two

murderers who committed this murder..

..and on the other hand there

are some high-profile people..

..on whose orders Mr.

Sandeep Mishra got her murdered.

Honorable Judge,

these is exhibits C, D, E and F.

These are three tapes in Monica

Jaitley's voice and this dairy..

..in which the names of those

three persons are mentioned..

..on whose orders this
