Samarppanam Page #2

---

Something like white flowers.

Tissue samples must be sent to the lab for detailed tests.

Yes, I'm here at Mr. Pillai's house.

No, the body has not arrived.

Okay, send the OB van.

Do you ever feel that Krishna must have had psychological issues?

No...

Nothing particular.

But...

But?

Like everybody else, she too had some medical issues.

No, nothing of that kind.

She had consulted a psychiatrist some time back.

But it was nothing serious.

Still, any problems?

All that is a fashion now.

Was she taking any medication regularly?

Something was prescribed.

But did she take it regularly?

Where do we politicians have the time for all this?

Her mother must have taken care of all that.

Okay, sir.

I shall leave after talking to Krishnas mother.

I believe Krishna was frank with you about everything.

That's why I have to ask you these questions.

Has she ever hinted about any threat to her life, or...

spoken about suicide?

My daughter would not commit suicide.

How old was Krishna when you married Mr. Pillai?

She was ten.

How was their relationship?

Any issues?

I have to ask harsh questions to get at the truth.

Sorry.

I know it is not easy to speak in this condition.

I will come again later.

We can speak in detail then.

I'm also saying the same, Madam.

I don't understand what you mean.

I have mentioned the Y-shaped cut...

on Krishnas wrist.

-Dont you remember? -Yes, I remember.

May be that's a tattoo or something.

No, not a tattoo.

It is a wound mark.

Can we say for sure? Nobody believes what the police says.

I told you everything openly because

I felt that you are an upright and professional officer.

When shall we meet, Madam?

Yes, let's meet up for lunch and talk in detail.

And please avoid calling me Madam.

How did Krishna happen to come to you?

-Was it part of any treatment? -No, no.

What I offer in my clinic is free service and study.

Krishna was interested in traditional and folk medicine.

Was there any special reason for Krishna

to choose your clinic for this?

Krishna was greatly attracted to the lives of transgender people

who did not fall into the male/female binary.

What does your clinic have to do with it?

I am coming to that.

Many people who belong to that category come here for treatment.

Did Krishna have any family problems?

You must have discussed all that, right?

We have not really had such discussions,

but I felt that she had some issues,

or else she would not have left home and stayed here.

Do you think Krishna could have committed suicide?

Never.

Krishna could never commit suicide.

She was a fighter.

I'll be there.

Okay.

I have to be at the office urgently.

I'll come later.

We must have your help and cooperation in future too.

Certainly.

You can come here whenever you want.

And it need not always be as part of your job.

Let me see your hand.

Fatigue, exhaustion, joint pain...

Nothing of that kind.

I will examine you thoroughly some other time.

Where are you?

Turn left from there.

Blood loss before the train hit her...

And this wound mark...

Put these two together and think.

Veg fried rice?

-Same. -Veg curry?

Whatever this is...

can we say for sure that Krishna did not commit suicide?

Certainly we can.

Even before the train hit her,

a lot of blood had been lost from the internal organs.

In such a condition,

one will already be unconscious or semi-conscious...

and will not be aware of what one is doing.

How did Krishna reach such an inaccessible place...

at such an untimely hour?

It is not easy to reach without the help of a vehicle.

Then where is the vehicle?

If she wanted to commit suicide,

there are so many other places.

You must gather more evidence from her body

about how she died.

And I will find out how she lived.

Someone has drained blood from Krishna's body.

Who?

Why?

How?

Perhaps he can lead us to the answers...

to these questions.

Hello...

Sreerag?

Krishna was not that kind of a girl, sir.

She was a brave girl.

She was totally focused on her research.

You said there were a few who regularly harassed her.

Why did they do it?

Krishna used to be very free with boys and transgenders...

Some people did not like that.

And some of the articles she wrote also provoked them.

Was she physically attacked because of that?

Yes.

But she was very bold.

One day, on my way to drop her off,

they stopped our bike and threatened us.

That is the rented house where Krishna stayed.

So, then did they vacate the house quickly?

Maria left at first.

One day they came and created a lot of noise.

I told Krishna, "Don't get me into trouble, dear."

She was a nice girl.

She vacated the very next day.

Can you recognize those guys?

Oh, yes! I know the lot.

That is what I thought,

but I don't think I know them.

You will be summoned.

You might have to come to the police station.

Okay.

Do you know what this is?

Nepenthes.

It attracts and traps the insects within its leaves and eats them.

A carnivore in the world of plants.

You are just in time.

This plant belongs to a peculiar category.

-Can you identify it? -Give us a clue.

In some members of this family,

sexuality is not fixed like in us.

It keeps changing.

It blooms at night and becomes a male.

I'm not saying you have done something you should not.

When you enter into their domain you have to be careful.

Many such institutions are criminal dens.

Impulsiveness will land you in more danger.

Do you know how cruelly they are treated?

Everything is known to everybody.

More knowledge will make us more helpless.

I can't keep quiet after learning all these things.

I am not trying to dissuade you from your beliefs.

I can't withdraw now, at this stage.

That is your conviction and freedom.

All I am asking you is to be cautious.

Yes.

Survivors.

Too much love will kill it easily.

That is the problem of the cacti.

Jasmine?

No, that is from the Paala tree on the other side. It has blossomed.

No wonder...

Yakshis choose to seduce men under the Paala tree.

Yakshis are not bloodthirsty.

They are tree goddesses.

Krishna...

What is all this I'm hearing about you?

It is better not to get involved in unnecessary things.

We have the police and law to look into all such issues.

Moreover, they are all important to me.

They are putting up with you because you are my daughter.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Where are you staying these days?

Dr. Aravindan's estate.

Great! What a company!

And just put a stop to all that filming of hijras.

That doesn't go with our dignity.

Come back home.

When did this conversation between them take place?

About a week back,

while she was working on a documentary film.

That was when you met her last, right?

Yes.

-What was that documentary about? -About transgender people.

-About what? -Transgender people.

As a part of her research.

-Krishna used to keep a diary, right? -Yes.

She saw the diary as a friend.

Were you close friends?

We have been friends since our school days, sir.
