and you were caught red-handed.

Think about it...

if you cooperate...

l'll save you from the death penalty.

Tell me, who hired you

to clear their mess?

Ghorpade, take him into our custody.

l think he prefers to be there.

Sir...

the doctor said

he can't be discharged...

Tell the doctor

he didn't say anything like that.

l want this man in my custody today.

Do whatever it takes.

Yes, sir.

Gokhale...

get started...

remove these pipes and tubes...

Sanjay Kejriwal!

What?

Sanjay Kejriwal.

Sir, there's no Simran here.

No, sir...

a few girls said there was

someone called Simran...

but she ran away

some years ago.

Where could she have gone?

Someone has to know...

it's possible that

she is still there...

and the other girls are

trying to protect her.

Tell Rane to stay

there and keep looking.

Okay, sir.

- You go to the police station...

and meet me at Sanjay Kejriwal's

bungalow with a team.

Hurry up!

- Yes, sir.

This way, sir.

lnspector Shekhawat!

What brings you here?

Mr. Kejriwal, l have a warrant

for your arrest.

What?

On what basis?

For getting Tehmur and Shashi murdered.

Babu Tipnis...

you know him already...

He has signed

an affidavit implicating you...

you have to come with us.

Hand over your mobile phone, please.

Now!

Let's go.

Come on, stand up.

- l said stand up!

- Please...

just a minute.

Can we talk?

Go ahead.

ln private?

l'm afraid not.

He was blackmailing us...

lt all started three years ago.

Armaan, me and our friend, Nikhil...

- were out one night.

l know what we can take to

the bachelor party...

Nikhil knew Shashi...

- go to Hotel Lido...

Hello Shashi...

- We went with him to Hotel Lido...

- and there we picked up a girl.

l wasn't happy about it.

What was the girl's name?

Simran.

Nikhil started messing

with the girl in the car...

How about a trial...

- What happened next?

l don't know...

- probably the back door

wasn't locked properly...

lt was an accident!

Nikhil!

Sh*t!

Nikhil!

Be careful...

- Easy...

- Okay...

Armaan, get into the car now!

Sanjay, we can't leave her

in this state...

Dude, you're asking for trouble...

we'll get screwed

because of this hooker.

Get in the car...

- Please!

- Sanjay?

- Sanjay, we can't leave her here...

what if she dies...

Call that guy, Shashi...

Call Shashi, he will handle it...

Oh God!

Shashi called Armaan a week later...

and sent him a DVD...

it had footage from

the security camera at Hotel Lido...

of the three of us

leaving the lobby with the girl.

Shashi told us the girl was dead...

and he had buried her body somewhere.

Where's the DVD?

l know her, she's the one

who has been helping me.

You mean, she is... alive?

Yes, Mr. Kejriwal,

l've met her several times...

l think Shashi and the girl

conned you.

But sir, if that's the case,

why would she help you?

Only she can answer that.

Devrath,

head to Hotel Lido right now...

she might be there...

she goes by the name

of Rosie nowadays, not Simran...

and inform Rane as well.

Get her to the police

station immediately.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

lf you had informed the police

right at the beginning...

it would've saved many lives...

probably your friend, Armaan's too.

So much happened...

and all for what?

Look out!

- Sir...

- l think only l can see her...

Have you lost your mind, Shekhawat?

Next thing you'll tell me...

is that you saw a ghost!

Don't misunderstand me...

l and the police department

value you tremendously...

but there's talk going on about you

that could ruin your career.

Your subordinates have been saying

that you don't sleep at night...

keep driving all night...

you talk to yourself...

Look at them staring at us...

They probably think...

l'm picking you up.

Why would l lie?

People here don't really help the cops.

Think about your future, Shekhawat...

if you mention this

in your official report...

you know what's going to happen...

you'll be the laughing stock

of the department.

l think... you should

take a break for two months...

you really need it.

But what about the truth?

The truth is that...

Sanjay Kejriwal decided to end his life

instead of going to jail.

Armaan Kapoor died in an accident

that can only be an act of providence.

And the two men blackmailing them...

they're dead.

Case closed!

This is the truth and this

will go as your official statement.

Am l clear?

Yes, sir.

Good.

What are you doing here, Rosie?

You don't belong here.

l've been waiting for you...

to come along and rescue me.

No, Surjan, listen to me...

deal with your pain,

or you will attract more of it.

Disturbed spirits are attracted to

people in pain...

they feel a kindredness.

l can take your pain away.

Some people can talk to spirits...

l have read such things happen...

Think about it, Roshni,

use your head...

how can you believe this

nonsense?

There are many things in this world

that can't be explained.

You can still get out of here...

start a new life.

lt's not that simple...

Why not?

You wouldn't believe me,

if l told you.

Let me take you to a place...

where no one will bother us.

lf you want,

l can figure something out for you...

Really?

What can you do for me?

l knew you would be back.

Only trapped spirits can

manifest themselves in human form.

lf we don't exist...

how can we go missing?

Three years ago a friend of mine...

went out with some guys...

She never came back.

l mean, think about it.

A girl just vanishes...

and it makes no difference to anyone.

What is this place?

lt's my secret spot...

hardly anyone ever comes here.

lf you can't find me anywhere else...

you'll probably find me here...

Why don't you understand, Suri?

Karan wants to talk to you!

And who knows...

someday l might end up

doing something for you.

Hello dad, l miss you...

l know you miss me a lot too...

What happened that

day was not your fault...

it was my fault, dad...

l am sorry.

There was nothing

you could have done to change it...

this is what l had to tell you...

Please don't blame yourself...

because that makes me very sad.

Please don't fight

with mom because of me.

l can never be happy

if both of you are so unhappy.

Dad, do you remember telling me...

that you always wanted

to see me happy?

l know l can count on you

to make everything okay...

because you are the

best dad in the world.

The world may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

The world may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

ln my every thought

Every word spoken

ln my every feeling

My every emotion

There is only you

You are everywhere

The world may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

The world may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

You never really left my side

You hold my hand even today

No matter what the destination is

You will be my fellow traveller

All the way

The world may say you are gone

But you are here
