tired after a long day's work...

and you still woke up, immediately!

SQ?

Sir...

two people died in the next room...

yet Daddy and Mommy kept snoring away.

Just think about it Sir.

Check out this email.

This girl is apologizing to her father -

'I'm sorry Daddy, I won't do it again'.

What was this mistake you think?

And not just one mistake,

but three of them.

The three mistakes of Chetan Bhagat...

she was reading this.

We found it in her room.

And here is the internet company's report.

They said, even hours

after the girl's death...

the internet router kept

switching on and off.

So if Daddy and Mommy were sleeping...

and the girl was dead...

who was switching the router on and off?

The girl's ghost?

Damn right!

There were four people in the house...

two are alive and two dead.

What are you trying to say?

Just that there were two

murders that night...

and both of you heard nothing...

Not a sound?

The AC in our room is so loud that

you can't hear any outside noise.

Wow that's convenient and

a hell of an AC!

So I guess the noise inside the room

can't go outside either eh?

The horniest guy I know is

actually Shruti's father.

Really?!

The female doctor in his clinic...

Sunita madam?

That's the one.

He used to hook up with her.

Unbelievable!

You loved your daughter a lot didn't you?

And your wife?

What?

Our marriage is just fine.

Of course, of course!

Every man loves his wife...

And if he doesn't, he at least...

pretends like he loves his wife...

And Doctor Mrs. Nathani?

Did you love her too?

Are you insane?!

Shrieking won't help...

I'm a happily married woman!

I know...

Sir I've also heard

that this loving couple

used to indulge in some sex switcheroo...

What?

You know what they say in English...

You know... switching wives...

Wife... soap...

Wife swapping?!

How is all this connected

with Shruti's murder?

Oh it is connected... from both ends.

Shruti got to know what

you two were up to...

She had become sad...

always sad.

It's a tragedy dear...

poor girl was suffering silently.

She could neither tell her friends

nor her relatives...

so who else?

Khempal.

He was very afraid Sir.

He had even told me his life was in danger.

From who?

It was her birthday 8 days later...

but we gave her gift early...

You have seen the videos from that night...

we loved her a lot.

For her birthday she had...

planned a sleepover...

with her friends.

Planned what with friends?

Sleep?

What is that?

All the kids spend a night together

at one friend's place. Alone.

Without parents around?

And what do they do the whole night?

You see, all these things...

are because of the internet...

it's a wretched place, this internet.

Shruti - that's the girls name.

Correct.

She died on 15th March.

And the time?

They said she died at 2:00 am.

Perfect.

Make me a photocopy of this.

If you didn't kill her...

how do you know she died at 2:00 am?

Hold it!

We're from the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Hey Guru!

JK! What are you doing here mate?

Got a deputation coming up.

Okay! Where are you off to?

Probably CDI.

But what are you doing here?

The double murder case...

that young girl and the servant.

Ah yes yes Yes"- ...

Just reporting to the high command.

Any leads?

We are working on it.

We have cracked it Sir!

Sorry Sir.

I've got some fine malt for you - imported!

Why don't you come by?

Day after tomorrow?

Done. - Done.

Thank you. - Okay dear.

It's been 10 days!

What has the police

been doing about this case?

Wait... wait... wait...

We are pleased to announce...

that we have solved

the double murder case...

of Kruti and the servant.

Its, Shruti not Kruti.

Sir, Shruti.

Our investigation has discovered that

both the murders have been

committed by the same person.

He found Kruti...

I mean Shruti and Khempal

in an objectionable though

not compromising position.

Mr. Ramesh?

We need to get some identification done.

After seeing his daughter

and his servant together,

Dr. Ramesh killed them

both in a fit of anger...

though he is as characterless

as his daughter was!

What I say, he is as characterless,

as his daughter was...

[Reporter] What do you mean characterless?

There's a new twist and a new killer

in the double murder case.

This is a simple and straight

case of honor killing.

Nutan?

Where are you both?

Where is Ramesh?

We're in a police building...

they've taken Ramesh in

for some identification.

Listen to me...

they're saying he killed her!

They're saying Ramesh

killed Shruti and Khempal!

What!

What do you mean? Who is saying that?

Listen.

Police say Shruti and Khempal's murderer is

none other than Shruti's

father Ramesh Tandon.

This is a simple and straight

case of Honour Killing.

Where is Ramesh?

He's inside.

Ma'am, you're not allowed there.

What do you mean not allowed?

I'm his wife!

Open the door!

What happened?

My husband Dr. Ramesh Tandon,

he's been locked up inside.

There's no one inside,

take a look...

Satisfied?

I want to speak to my lawyer.

A lawyer is of no use now.

Confess, and you'll get away

with a lighter punishment.

Yours is the rarest of the rare cases.

You'll be hung, and it'll be

granted by a fast track court.

Why would I kill my own daughter?

I've already told you why you did it.

Should I also tell you how?

You were working on your

laptop till late that night.

You drink every night, anyway...

But that night you had a

few extra, perhaps...

Khempal, get some ice.

Khempal.

Nutan... help please!

After committing both murders,

you cleaned the blood in the room...

wiped your fingerprints off everything.

The bed... the room...

you dressed it all up very nicely.

Satisfied with everything,

you relaxed with another drink.

Would you like to confess now?

Please...

Please.. let me talk to my wife...

lawyer...

I didn't do this...

I didn't kill my daughter...

Please believe me!

Sir please!

Please... I did not kill her.

Please Sir...

Please!

This is the compound!

This is where it happened!

Shruti was killed here!

This is the house

where Shruti was born...

this is the room where she grew up.

This is the room where that

bloodcurdling nightmare happened!

This is where Shruti

was brutally murdered...

where a father was overcome

by anger and reacted violently...

when he saw his

daughter with the servant

in a compromising position!

A street dog barking at

night keeps us awake...

and their daughter was

murdered in the next room

yet they never woke up?

It's not just fishy... it's a fishmarket!

We all have boyfriends...

but an old man?

Yuck!

And suddenly one morning,

our family was finished...

Before we could even mourn over our loss,

they arrested him.

Shruti was Ramesh's everything.

He had never even so much as slapped her,

yet the police, media

everybody is saying...

I have faith in the legal system.

I hope justice is done.

Of course.

The day the sky is unscathed
