The police is making an

all out effort to nab him.

I've heard anyone giving news on

him will also be given a reward.

Yes, but why will anyone

inform the police about him?

The police may consider

him a murderer. . .

but the common man

considers it a good deed.

Those he killed were goons.

Nothing has happened yet.

Even after killing Lobo,

has he been caught?

Mr. Sharma, I think the CM will have

to appoint a special force. . .

for this task.

He is very smart and cunning.

He has killed four people

one after the other.

Yet the police has

not been able to touch him.

Why? Why??

I don't want to hear any excuses

Intensify surveillance.

Check every car. Look in every

nook and corner of the city.

I want that man arrested!

What do you

want to explain to me?

The man who the police has

charge sheeted as a killer. . .

who has committed three murders and

created terror in the city. . .

is asking me to defend his case?

Not three, I have

committed four murders.

Seems you have not read

today's evening news.

The police has labeled me murderer,

but I will be deemed a murderer. . .

when the court will convict me.

And Mr. Khurana, for renowned lawyers

like you, to save men like me. . .

from the gallows,

is petty job.

Mr. Vishal Agnihotri, I defend

cases in court to uphold justice.

I have not become a lawyer

to defend murderers like you.

Whatever the circumstances,

you have committed murders.

You have committed a crime.

I have committed no crime! Don't call

what I have committed a crime. . .

because it was necessary for

this city, for its peace.

By wiping out those four men,

I have done a good deed.

And I don't want to spend

my life behind bars for it.

Nor spend my life

trying to escape law.

Because I have committed no crime.

And you.

I know everything about you.

How many criminals you have

got released. . .

and how much money you have taken

for it, I know everything.

Don't make me waste time exposing

you. Tell me how much money you want.

50 million, 100 million?

- Like to take a drink?

- I don't drink.

I accept the price you have

quoted for your case.

But even I want to know something.

The man who the police is after. . .

who is looking for a

corner to hide himself. . .

how will he arrange

100 million rupees?

Mr. Khurana, if I have been defamed,

I have also earned a reputation.

- You will get the money.

- Alright, then keep your promise.

Surrender yourself to the police.

News in detail.

The hide and seek between a criminal,

Vishal Agnihotri and the police. . .

ended today.

Vishal Agnihotri surrendered

himself to the police today.

He has been charge sheeted

for murdering four renowned men.

The police was looking for him.

Mr. Khurana, does Vishal's surrender

mean he only has committed the murders?

You are mistaken.

He has surrendered because. . .

he wants to save himself

the bother.

Sir, you have never

lost a case in your career.

Just because the police claims so,

it doesn't mean he is a murderer.

The court will decide that.

Wait for the truth to be exposed.

You have to sign

these papers, Vishal.

Your case has been admitted in court

and the first hearing is on the 7th.

I think this matter will

stretch for four hearings.

I have got the orders to shift you

to the crime branch canceled.

You will stay here now.

I know some officers here.

They will take good care of you.

Just don't get into trouble here.

You cannot keep a

check on your temper.

I don't want anything new to

be added to your charge sheet.

I am not presenting you in court

in the first few hearings.

I have attached medical reports.

It is possible some medical officer

of the police cokes to examine you.

With him. . .

- Don't worry, Mr. Khurana.

I won't make any mistakes here.

Even I don't want any small matters

to be added to the charge sheet.

As it is, you are tense

about my case.

Yes Vishal, this is the

first case in my career. . .

about which I am really tensed.

I have never faced defeat.

That could also be the reason.

Mr. Khurana, I have more faith

in your capability than you.

You will win this case.

Believe me, after this case,

your name will be remembered. . .

in the history of law.

Mr. Khurana was wonderful!

He shattered the police defence.

Can a lawyer like Khurana

ever lose a case?

Your honour, I agree that whatever

evidence I collected against Vishal. . .

Mr. Khurana has been shattering

those witnesses and evidence. . .

since the last here hearings.

With his talent,

Mr. Khurana. . .

has succeeded in proving the

truth to be false and vice versa.

But I have not

yet given up hope. . .

fearing that the court

may give a wrong verdict.

Setting free a murderer like

Vishal. . .

will send a wrong signal to the youth

of the country, that terrorism. . .

Mr. Sinha is deviating

from the case. . .

the proceedings of which are to

prove. . .

whether Vishal is connected

with these four murders or not.

And my honorable friend,

rather than talk on this issue. . .

is worrying about the

future of the country.

My Lord,

I can understand his problem.

In all the last hearings, he has

been unable to gather evidence. . .

against Vishal Agnihotri.

He has nothing to present

before the court today.

So he is trying to probe matters. . .

and also deviate from the case.

My Lord, I want to go back to the

argument we had in our last hearing.

It was the night of 7th November.

An old woman, along with her kid,

bangs into an autorickshaw.

Vishal Agnihotri witnesses the incident.

He catches hold of the rickshaw

driver and takes the old woman. . .

and her kid to Bombay hospital.

The duty officer Dr. Patel. . .

informs the closest police

station at Shanti Nagar.

Thereafter, inspector Sharma,

and constable Mhatre. . .

completed the investigations.

During investigation, Vishal was made

to stay in hospital for about two hours.

To prove that, I'd like to present

some witnesses and evidence in court.

My Lord, it has been proved beyond

doubt that my client. . .

has no hand in any

of the four murders.

Now the question arises that

why is an innocent youth. . .

booked for four murders.

My Lord, he is a victim of

personal enmity with the police.

Some time ago, he had protested

against police atrocity. . .

outside Nana Chowk police station.

He was even involved in

fisticuffs with them.

For which, he had spent

four nights in police lock up.

Since then, the police considered

him a thorn in their side.

Then, the police, to hide their

failure & prove their superiority. . .

framed Vishal for these murders.

My request is that no more atrocity

be committed against this youth.

Give your verdict

and acquit him honorably.

After considering the

entire proceedings. . .

it is clear that the police has

no concrete evidence or witness. . .

on the basis of which the accused,

Vishal Agnihotri can be proved guilty.

The arguments by the defense lawyer

and the evidence presented. . .
