Agnihotri has done a greatjob.

Who fearlessly raised his voice

against this injustice.

Don't take my pictures, please!

If you have to take pictures, take

Master's pictures and publish them.

This truth loving man's

face must reach every home.

After handing over Nagesh to the

police, will you. . .

What I have done

is with my honesty.

Now I want even the police department

also to do it's job diligently.

Is Master home?

- You. . .

Don't worry. We have

not come here to arrest him.

We want his signatures

on some papers.

Call Master.

What is the matter? Why have you

come here at such a late hour?

Sorry to bother you, but we

are helpless, ourjob is such.

Why are you standing?

Sit down.

The police investigation

in the rape case has begun.

I am handling that case.

The statement you gave,

on it's basis. . .

the court will file a case in court.

I need your signature.

- Where do I have to sign?

Think again, Master.

This is a case of rape and murder

Your signing the papers means

registering yourself. . .

as an eye witness in the case.

Maybe the investigation reaches

a stage where Nagesh is sentenced.

But all this is not so easy.

Because Nagesh

is Jaspal Rana's son. . .

who has power

and is very influential.

I have seen many cases. . .

where the witness is

harassed so much. . .

that they prefer

to leave the case. . .

but the police is

forced to hold on to them.

I am only narrating my experience.

Just a minute! Are you narrating

your experience, or scaring me?

I spoke what I saw.

And I stick to my word.

Tell me where I have to sign?

Wait! Don't sign.

I have a feeling we will

get into big trouble.

Patil! Put that down!

Have you come here for an encounter?

If you fire accidentally,

someone here will die.

Sorry.

No, please don't sign.

I am very scared.

Gayatri, there is no need to worry.

No one can harm us.

Those who have committed the crime

should be afraid.

I know, but please don't sign.

Even Vishal is not home. . .

What will Vishal do?

He cannot stop me from signing.

Yet, please don't. . .

- Don't talk nonsense!

What is the matter, mom?

They have come to take

your father's statement.

Stop him from signing.

I have a strange fear in me.

He cannot stop me.

I will not back out.

And instead of telling me anything,

make your mother understand.

Don't I have anything else in life

other than wiping your mother's tears?

Do you have any respect for me?

Have I ever hurt you two

to make myself happy?

Haven't I fulfilled my

responsibilities as a father & husband?

Don't I have a right over

my views, my decision?

My ego is my only wealth. Do you want

me to surrender it before those goons?

Vishal, you? Over here?

Mom, she. . . But you don't

take any hasty decision.

If you don't like her,

I'll get another girl next Monday.

No, she is the one.

That's how I'd imagined her to be.

What is your name, dear?

Say it loudly

One who sees you, will not

be able to take his eyes off.

Now will you seek my blessings

if he tells you?

Bless you.

''Look, my heart pounds''

''Look, my eyes flutter''

''A fire smolders in my breath''

''It steals my sleep,

puts me in a daze''

''Her style is unique''

''The Punjabi girl floors me''

''Look. How rudely. . .''

''he talks to me,

holding my hand''

''He troubles me,

tries every way to woo me''

''He teases me''

''The Punjabi boy floors me''

''She presses her

finger between her lips''

''She smiles and makes me go crazy''

''Why are you crazy about my style?''

''Why do you sigh over me?''

''Your cheeks are rosy,

your gait mesmerizing''

''When I see her, I'm awed''

''The Punjabi boy. . .''

''Don't touch me after

trying to melt my heart''

''Oh no, I'm too smart''

''She speaks so curtly''

''And walks like a slithering snake''

''He's mad, he's after me''

''He's desperate to get me''

''The Punjabi boy. . .''

Vishal has not come yet.

- He has been told.

He must be on his way.

Here, drink water.

I don't want water, I am fine.

Don't worry, Vishal will go to the

police station as soon as he comes.

But they picked him

when he was eating.

He was eating after

a day and a half.

I'll go to the police station.

I'll have to go.

Wonder where Vishal is.

I only will go.

The police picked up your father.

- I know, mom.

He has not eaten a morsel

since a day and a half.

Just because he gave evidence,

he has put himself into trouble.

Don't worry, I'll bring father home.

- Go soon.

Master, this is the preparation

for the court's first hearing.

In law, one has to say and write

the same things many times.

Write what? I have said that whenever

the police wants me, I will come.

Why is the same thing

being repeated?

Master, it is in your interest.

It is possible you may fall sick, you

may not be fit on some hearing date.

Don't show me sympathy.

Concentrate on your investigation.

Get them made again,

then I'll sign them.

Are you alright, father?

- Yes, I am fine.

What way is this? How could you

bring my father here like this?

We are only doing our duty.

- What duty?

You barge into a witness' house

anytime, pick him up. . .

And then this statement.

When will this drama stop?

This will continue

until the court's verdict.

And this is not drama,

it is the law's working.

Inspector. . .

- Keep quiet.

You are right.

I understand your position.

You should have thought of all this

before getting involved.

He is old, a little crazy.

Inspector!

- Don't shout!

It is you who is being rude. Is this

the way to talk to an elderly man?

What will you do?

Put me behind bars?

Vishal!

- Father, wait!

I will carry forward

this investigation.

You are too proud of

your uniform, aren't you?

It is not your fault, he has

gone crazy. . . You come with me!

Come!

It's over.

You vented your anger on him.

You think I enjoyed slapping him?

Ask him why he created a situation

where I had to slap him.

He actually got down to

fisticuffs with the police.

What wrong did I do? They

were forcing you to sign papers.

You were eating,

and they just came and picked you?

But your behavior

in the police station?

What was wrong about it? You were

being humiliated, which I couldn't bear.

If anything had happened today,

what would happen after that?

Do you know the meaning of hitting

the police in the police station?

Do you think before doing anything?

Where do you think?

Did you think before

going against that Rana?

Did you think before signing the

statement about the incident you saw?

Did you think what problems

your family could get into?

Did you think?

- Vishal, keep quiet, and leave!

I have realized today

that Vishal is a big boy now.

Nagesh. . . son. . .

- Don't call me son!

Your son is dead. You killed him

to save your reputation.

Stop your nonsense!

I have done nothing wrong.

If I had not done that, I wouldn't

have this position to save you today.

One can do

everything with position.

I can play any game now.
