Scoundrel, why are you accusing me?!

Nobody means anything to you!

I don't mean a thing to you!

- All right, forgive me!

- He doesn't mean a thing!

- Bhiku, listen to me!

- Just keep making money!

They shot him on his temple and the

bullet came out from the other end!

- Wasn't he like my son?

- He was like your son indeed!

Why did the bloody fools

kill only him?

Because they are policemen.

Bhiku, they had no

other way of stopping us.

The government has given

them the liberty.

So they are using

our method to catch us.

They believe that they can

get away with anything.

They feel that all of us are

within the reach of the law.

We'll also show them that they

are not beyond our reach either!

What? What are

you trying to say?

We'll kill Amod Shukla.

Are you nuts, huh?!

Have you gone crazy?!

Kill Amod Shukla!...

How will we kill him?!

Tell me, how will we kill him?!

There will be police posted

in every nook and corner!

Like termites on wood!

We'll kill Amod Shukla indeed!...

Tell me, how will we kill him?!

Killing him will be like killing

a brother of every policeman!

How will we kill him?!

Initially, they will be infuriated.

Then, they will understand.

If somebody can kill the brother

of a policeman today...

...then he can even kill

a policeman tomorrow!

Why should only

Amod Shukla be killed?

- We can kill anybody else!

- Who?

There is no other way out.

No other way.

All right. Do what you please.

But I'll tell you one thing. Do

not underestimate the police, okay?

I am not underestimating them.

We may or may not kill Amod Shukla

but they are bent on finishing us off.

If we just sit idle, they will

chase us like dogs and kill us.

They are after our blood

because we are not retaliating.

They perceive no danger.

By killing Amod Shukla,

fear will be instilled in them.

After that, any policeman will think

ten times before cracking down on us.

Uncle, Amod Shukla's death

could become a gift of life for us.

- The cops behaving as they please...

- It won't do!

- The hooliganism of the police...

- It won't do!

- Amod Shukla!

- Go back!

Due to the killings of two innocent

merchants yesterday by the police...

...fear has gripped

the citizens of Mumbai.

The deceased Bansilal and Haresh

Mehta were owners of a cloth shop.

They were returning home

after shutting their shop.

The police say that they felt

both of them were gangsters.

When asked why they did not

verify, the police had no reply.

This is Devnar in front of Mumbai

Mantralaya reporting for ZEE News.

Is this true?

Many questions were raised in the

Parliament about the startling event.

Yes, it is true.

The police have committed a folly.

But who doesn't make mistakes?

What could the cop do? Go up to the

car and ask for his identification?

Ask, where he stays

and where he's going?

Had there been no businessmen in the

car, 2 cops would've been dead today!

It's very easy to sit in the

drawing room and give an opinion.

But have you ever thought of the

conditions under which we work?

Give sympathy to the dead

and abuses to the police!

Then switch off the TV

and forget about it!

And if nothing happens, then

display placards of Human Rights!

Have you ever wondered,

where these people talking about...

...Human Rights disappear when the

mafia blatantly kills innocent people!

Nobody holds

placards then, saying...

Policemen are murderers, butchers!

Even a butcher slaughters a goat

only because people eat it!

Why do you point a finger

at the butcher?

And we do not enjoy slaying anybody!

We do not make criminals,

Jyoti, the system does.

Until the system gets rectified,

someone will have to clean this filth!

And today, under the prevailing

conditions, I am doing that job.

Khandelkar, listen...

...a religious gathering will be

held the day after tomorrow morning...

Where the hell are all of you!

Call the ambulance!

What are you doing! Look there!

The broad daylight murder

of Amod Shukla...

...had shaken the complete machinery

of the government to its roots.

The police too wanted

to seek vengeance.

The way in which they cracked down

on the underworld...

...the uproar created, the chaos

and shootouts that took place...

All this is the blackest chapter

in Mumbai's history of crime.

The city of Mumbai, gripped with

tension, looked like a police rule.

And the forthcoming election had

made the conditions even more serious.

Due to the prevalent danger, people

were beginning to lose faith...

...in the hollow system

and the nonplussed government.

Bhau Thakurdas Jhavle

took undue advantage of it.

The obsession of the cops to unearth

the gangsters gone underground...

victimized some

innocent people too.

The Human Rights Organizations

held many demonstrations...

...against the police atrocities

and demanded that the city be closed.

The police said

that this was baseless.

But eventually,

they had to step back.

At the same time, Bhau Thakurdas

Jhavle won the election...

...with a landslide majority.

Under such conditions, Satya went

to see a film with Vidya one day.

Looking at the massive crowd, I

thought we wouldn't get the tickets.

- I got them.

- Let's go?

There are also some

informers amongst them, Sir.

Begin a full scale checking

of the village from tomorrow.

If need be.

Sir, this... and that...

are two uneven paths.

Which leads to Border Pillar

Number 635 and 638.

I will see the paths

as well as the Border Pillar.

Sure, Sir. We can see the

border post of Pakistan also.

Give me two Dukes' Mangola.

Then give me two bottles of Pepsi.

Seal all the exits.

Hey, the door is not opening!

Open the door!

Your attention, everybody! Do not

create a racket and listen to me!

Please remain where you are.

The police have surrounded

the entire cinema hall.

Do not fear. We are looking out

for a man who is here right now.

All the exits of the hall are sealed.

Only the door behind will open.

So, please come to

that door, one by one.

We want no problems created,

so please cooperate with the police.

And come out from that door.

Have two men posted near that door.

Is everything ready?

Fine. Open the door.

Stop! I say, stop!

Please don't go!

Were you aware that the

whole theater was packed?

Yet, you had all the exits

locked from outside?

My intention was to nab Satya and

I didn't want him to flee from there.

You deemed it right to put

1,000 lives in danger for that?

I had no inkling...

about whatever happened.

You just mentioned that you did this

so that Satya would not escape...

...since he certainly

would make an attempt. Right?

So why didn't you have an inkling,

that in order to escape...

...he could take a more

dangerous step? Which he did!

- 5 children, 6 women and 10 men

were killed in that stampede.

Who is responsible for that?

I did only what I deemed correct

at that moment, that situation.

Deceived Khandelkar,

eliminated Amod Shukla!
