Shahid Page #5

Why?

Because, police arrested his

son for being a suspected terrorist

ls prosecution of the opinion that

Islam and liberalism can't be one?

Or is Zaheer punished

because his name is Zaheer?

Not Matthew, Donald, Suresh or More.

Is he still in jail

just because of his name?

If the investigation

drags along for 10 years..

..Will Zaheer languish

like this for 10 years?

After 10 years even if

he is acquitted what will he do?

Who will give him a job?

He will be known as a terrorist

for the rest of his life.

Prosecution says

he is a dangerous man.

Why is he dangerous?

What has he done?

Because he made a wrong choice

in giving his laptop to a friend?

Many innocents have lost

their lives in the blasts...

I sympathize with them completely

But then you can't penalize

an innocent man for that.

I request the court

to deliver its verdict today

Prosecution has no valid

reason to detain Zaheer any more

For the last 2.5 years Zaheer

has been in jail because of this act

The court admits that

the common man at times..

..Faces great hardship because of it

This act is very important"

..for the safety of this country

Prosecution has not provided the

court with any concrete evidence..

..Which proves that

Zaheer Shaikh is guilty

Therefore, this court in State Vs.

Zaheer Shaikh..

..Gives Zaheer Sheikh an

honorable discharge, not guilty

Journalists will be outside

just give simple answers

How do you feel?

I'm still dazed

Despite being innocent you were

in jail for so many months.

Your thoughts?

No.

Do you want the

state to apologize to you?

Apology sounds good.

But here it won't work

Why?

When you haven't seen

your only child since he was born

What is the point of an apology?

Mr. Shahid, your comments?

Terrorism is a reality that

the whole world is facing right now

I am dead against it.

But then you can't put

an innocent man behind bars..

..Just because he has

no means to defend himself

I am not saying that, all those

arrested by the police are innocent

What about those...

..who lose precious years of

their lives imprisoned for no reason.

I am against that.

Are you going to

file a defamatory case?

Where were all of you till today?

I don't want to do anything

- No more questions please...thanks

He wanted to thank you.

Come inside. Please come inside.

Have some tea.

I already did

Have some more.

(Voice on News Channels)

The blast took place..

At the most important

landmark of Mumbai..

..Gateway of India

Sajid Sheik from Mumbai, Meera Rd.

The POTA court will

soon give it's verdict..

..For the accused

arrested under this act.

After the blasts at Gateway

of India and Zhaveri Bazaar..

..There've been other

terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

For example, the bomb blasts

in local train on 11th July, 2006.

And..

(Voice on News Channels) The Verdict

will soon be announced before August.

Is Sameer asleep?

So sorry, got held up

(Voice on News Channels)

26/11 Attacks on Mumbai Landmarks"

Mumbai will not be the

same city it used to be.

There are more than

100 deaths reported.

That female American officer

She felt me up all night

While my hands were tied

She showed me pornography

And then..

..Touched her menstrual blood...

My God will never forgive me

They won't let me out of here

They won't let me out of here

Do you think you're Gandhi?

Jihaadi's Gandhi.

Who is this?

You fight for Jihaadis, a**hole.

Obviously, only a terrorist

can empathize with another.

Bloody traitor.

You're very patriotic?

You want to kill me?

You'll die on the streets like a dog,

motherf***er.

Go ahead kill me.

I won't become a traitor

because you say so

I know what you did in Kashmir.

I know it all.

I know what you did in jail too.

People should know too.

Do what you have to and so will I.

You can threaten

me as much as you like

You will die like a dog,

motherf***er.

Kill me

Police has found some kind of a map..

..From the terrorist's dead body.

And they started hunting

for the accused in different jails..

..And caught Faheem Khan.

His only fault was

when he was arrested..

..He also had a map.

Why will Zaheer make

a map for the terrorist?

Why will he make such a mistake?

Especially when he is in jail?

They should at least think

before arresting someone.

It's an open and shut case.

It looks a little precarious.

You're confident and sure of it?

Of course I am.

Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you.

If we don't defend him

they will hang an innocent man.

And what about the phone

calls you were getting...

..did you find out who's behind them?

No, I don't know.

- Didn't the police help?

No, I've stopped thinking about it.

I'm really concerned

about your well being.

Take care of yourself.

I'm fine. I'll be okay.

Faheem Khan is accused of

providing maps to terrorists...

..for the target locations

of the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai

That attack had a devastating

impact on all of us

Not just public places, the

common man feels unsafe at home too

Our laws deem death penalty

as the most severe punishment

But my request to

the court today is that..

..Faheem and his ilk

are awarded a penalty..

..That is even more

severe than death..

..So that nobody ever dares

to commit such a heinous crime again.

These terror attacks have

claimed many innocent lives

Many people have lost

their near and dear ones

This is very tragic

All of us watched these disturbing

images on TV for over 3 days

These images will remain

forever etched in our conscience

The total death toll

in this attack is 164

164 innocent people lost their lives

And if what the prosecution wants..

..Without any corroborative evidence

If that happens...

Then this toll will rise to 165..

..And the 165th innocent

man will be Faheem Khan.

Why does it always happen

that anything of this magnitude..

..Attracts imprisonment

for an ordinary man.

And the case lingers on..

..While the real culprits might

be celebrating somewhere far away..

..Drinking in AC rooms

and planning future attacks

Why can't the Police ever reach them?

Why do they almost always

never end up standing here?

Why do we always see

a helpless man standing here

One who does not have

the ability to fight back

Prosecution does not have any evidence

to prove that Faheem is guilty

But we have strong

reasons to believe..

..That forget death penalty

or anything more severe

He should not be here at all

Please tell the court your name

Swapnil Mazgaonkar

What do you do?

I run a computer

institute in Jogeshwari

In Jogeshwari? - Yes.

Do you know this man?

Yes, he studied at my institute

What name do you know him by?

Sahil Pavaskar

When does a person need

to change his identity?

When he is depressed or is

running from his past - I object.

But in this case..

She is raking up his past.

This case is about 26!11.

Not about my client's past

Sir every case is

about someone's past.

Sir, defense is just

trying to obstruct me.
