the interest of the society & country.

I request Mr. Rana to place his views

before you and begin the meeting.

The worsening situation,

the terror of goons. . .

and the common man

living in fear. . .

that's the picture

this city portrays.

People connected to the police

and administration are present here.

But I don't feel the least bit of

hesitation in saying. . .

that the situation

in the city is worsening.

Whether home, workplace, or street,

a man does not feel safe anywhere.

The state of affairs is such

that hooliganism. . .

goes on in broad daylight.

They don'tjust threaten

people and extort money.

They just kill him and

snatch it.

To eliminate these powers, every

police officer. . .

will have to prepare for battle.

Don't applaud!

Don't listen to such

people and applaud. Don't!

Open your eyes!

Realise!

Leave me! I am the public,

and this is a public meeting.

Listen! Leave him.

Come, Master.

Come here and speak. You want to say

something? Come on stage and speak.

Yes I want to speak. Because I am not

a part of this crowd of dummies.

Mr. Rana is expressing remorse at the

worsening situation in the city.

Master, speak in the mike.

Mr. Rana is expressing remorse at the

worsening situation in the city.

He is advising the police on how

to keep the hooligans in check.

He stands on stage wearing a mask

of a social worker. . .

and collecting applause.

Which goons is he

talking of eliminating, Mr. Rana?

You are the biggest goon of the city.

Look!

And he has the other goons

in his fold.

And even the police has given

complete freedom to these goons.

The police has accepted defeat

before your power and influence.

The police always complains that no

man lodges a complain against goons. . .

with the police.

That there is no eye witness

to murder or looting.

So today I, Sachdanand Agnihotri,

give the police an eye witness.

The police has recovered a body on

the Mahim railway tracks last night.

The girl's name was Bharati Salukhe.

Some goons had picked up

this girl from Worli Naka.

One of the goons among them

was Mr. Rana's son, Nagesh.

I have myself seen Nagesh

pick that girl.

I am the eye witness

of that incident.

Will the police

investigate this case now?

Answer me, Commissioner.

What will you say? Your police

was with them in this crime.

Will the police take action

on my evidence?

This is a public meeting.

Answer me!

Do you think before

doing anything or not?

You picked up a girl

from the slums?

Don't you have any standard?

It's okay that guys like

you do such things.

It's also okay that you killed her.

But what is not okay

that her body was found.

Instead of throwing her

on the railways tracks. . .

couldn't you throw her in some gutter?

Alright, forget what happened.

I have spoken to Kamble.

He will manage everything.

Henceforth, be careful.

Lankeshwar, is the

plot work going fine?

Which plot?

- The Rana complex plot.

That one? Yes, sir.

What appointments do I have tomorrow

after my meeting with the commissioner?

You have to go to

Gandhi Memorial school at 1 1 am.

The kids that had died eating sweets

on the independence day function. . .

you have to congratulate them.

And in the evening, condole Dr. Patel

for the medical services he offers.

What nonsense are you talking!

I'm sorry, I messing things.

Actually, I am very upset.

Why hide anything from you? My brother

has sent a letter again from Dhaulpur.

He has asked about

the plot of land. . .

Keep that to yourself!

Gayatri, Vishal, look!

. . .Why are you staring at me?

I am no more an ordinary teacher

who gets a pension of Rs.7 40.

I am something more.

Who says people don't

stand up for truth any more?

Truth is important even today.

See this! Everything has

come in the newspaper today.

My picture has also been published.

The newspapers have

exposed Jaspal Rana.

It won't be so easy for

him to save Nagesh now.

Why are you so upset?

What do you think?

That I have done something wrong?

We didn't say that.

But before doing anything,

you could have atleast spoken to me.

Why should I? And even if

I had, what would you do?

We could have atleast discussed. . .

- How would that help?

The truth published in the newspaper

has reached the people.

There must be some people

who's conscience is not dead yet.

Those people will come on the

streets and demand Nagesh's arrest.

And the police will be

forced to arrest Nagesh.

You don't understand

- What will you explain to me?

You have grown so big

that you will explain to me?

You make him understand.

Vishal, what is

done cannot be undone.

Think of what we have to do now.

Atleast. . .

You stop worrying about me.

I'll face what will come.

I will fight my problems.

What I have taken up, it is my

duty to carry them to their end.

Trying to teach me!

Wait for the day when

people will come on the streets.

Try to understand my dilemma.

Master is not alone today.

He has public support.

People are abusing the police.

Even the students

have got down to rioting.

Yesterday, they burnt

police vehicles too.

If this continues,

I'll lose my job.

What do you want from me, Kamble?

Look Mr. Rana, I have thought

a lot over it.

If the situation

continues to worsen. . .

even you will suffer heavily.

There is only one

way you can stop all this.

I. . . l. . . will have. . . to arrest Nagesh.

First hear me out, Mr. Rana.

Nagesh won't be in

police custody for long.

Rest assured.

Mr. Pradhan will fight Nagesh's case.

It won't take me long to break

the charge sheet in court.

I won't allow any witness

or evidence against Nagesh in court.

Trust me.

But I will be able to do all this,

only if I hold on to my post.

Which means the police will drag

Nagesh like a dog.

And tomorrow's headlines will be. . .

'Social worker Jaspal Rana's son

arrested on charges of rape.'

Alright, I will appoint Pradhan

as defence lawyer.

Nagesh will also get released.

But after this entire episode. . .

what about all the work I have done?

I have put in 25 years to build

this reputation, what about that?

There is one solution, Kamble.

You rascal!

Got hot pants?

What have you done! Didn't you feel

ashamed to commit such a grave sin?

Inspector, here's your culprit.

He has committed a

heinous crime as rape.

Treat him as an ordinary criminal.

Forget that he is my son.

He is not my son.

He cannot be my son!

Mr. Rana, people use their position

to protect their friends & relatives.

But you yourself handed your son

over to the police?

It was necessary.

Mr. Rana, you have done a great deed

by putting your son behind bars.

Don't say that.

I have done no great thing.

I have just done my duty.

When fingers were raised

on my son. . .

I myself handed him

over to the police.

I want it to set an

example for those boys. . .

who commit crimes without fear

because of their father's position.

It's not me, but Master Sachdanand
