It's been one and a half years...

I have no idea where it could be.

The girl's forehead wound

is 4x3 centimeters.

And how big is this?

Khempal was hit on the back of the head...

and the girl on the forehead?

God is great!

And holy are the

messengers of his faith!

Missionary.

What the hell are you making me do?

You are bargaining like

you're out to buy vegetables...

- No Gogia Sir... Nothing like that. -

This is not how business is done...

- Please see what you can do.

- This will be very difficult for me.-

This is what it is... Now you decide.

Thank you.

In some cases...

the process of intelligence gathering

has to trample law...

in order to achieve effective results.

That's why some experts

define information gathering...

as a legal act carried out illegally.

Somewhere we have to

find a balance between...

what the system wants you to do...

and what you feel is

right as an individual.

Thank you.

Time for the Q and A.

If anyone has any questions

for Mr. Kumar please proceed.

Yeah, Sandeep...

Sir, I was wondering...

since you're such an accomplished

officer of your agency...

Why did you take premature retirement?

What made you quit?

I guess I couldn't find the balance.

Call me if any one

of you guys find it.

Please...

- Thank you Sir.-

Sir, are you sure

you dialed the right number?

Ashwin, how are you?

All well...

The meeting I spoke to you about earlier...

- Yes... -

It's at 11:
00 am tomorrow.

Many of your fans will be present...

- Alright?

- Okay,

I've read the reports

from both teams, in detail...

Both the conclusions are as different

as warring political parties!

One team says the

servants are the killers,

and the other says the parents did it.

Now the ministry has

to take some stand...

- It's high time! -

Either you convince each other...

- Or convince me.-

Ashwin?

Sir, every investigation

follows a prime rule -

Inquiry, evidence and conclusion...

You enquire for evidence

and you come to a conclusion.

Here everything has backtracked...

These people first decided

on the conclusion...

then dug very hard for evidence.

You worked hard as well Sir...

to get the poor, innocent servants

hung to their deaths.

If they are innocent, what are you?

There were four people in the house.

Two are alive and two dead.

- As simple as that. -

Everyone's testimony has changed!

The maid servant, the forensic

expert, the postmortem doctor!

So is it as simple as that?

Yes it is!

It happened!

- How is it possible? -

Guys... Please!

Let's do one thing...

The second team can present

whatever new crucial

evidence or testimonies

- they have discovered... -

The first team can

examine the credentials.

- Fair? -

Fair enough.

Mr. Paul...

Sir...

The biggest issue in this case is whether

there was anyone else at home that night...

- The first team says the killer

came from outside, -

killed Shruti, latched the door and ran.

Right?

Wrong.

The first person to arrive

at the crime scene...

if I may call her the prime witness...

The maid servant, Basanti...

- After both the murders,

the Tandon's -

had been waiting for her to come.

- Basanti came, rang the bell, -

- the door was closed...-

Then the key is thrown from the balcony...

I'd like you to look at this door...

- This door is between

the two front doors, -

and it opens into Khempal's room.

Normally, there is a fridge

placed against this door...

But that morning

the Tandon's had moved the fridge

to be able to open the door.

When Basanti turned to the

stairs to get the key...

Mrs. Tandon came out

of this very door,

opened the main door,

- and went back to throw the key. -

When Basanti came back up,

the main door didn't need a key...

it opened with just a push.

The front door was

latched from outside,

just to show that

someone had broken in,

killed and run away...

What followed was the

Tandon's acting all shocked...

When Basanti first came,

did she push

the main door to check

if it was unlocked?

Yes she did.

Her statement doesn't say so.

No problem, we can take

her statement again.

By blackmailing her like Gogia?

Oh come on Ashwin!

We don't torture people

to make them approvers...

Sir, do you understand what

these people are trying to say?

Just imagine...

I'll throw you the keys.

The moment Basanti

turns to get the key,

Nutan runs inside

and does everything that they are saying...

Put this back, I'll throw her the keys...

Quick, let's go! We have

to start crying now...

Look what, Khempal has done.

Such intricate planning!

Two murders, one dead

body on the terrace...

dressing up the crime scene...

Moving the fridge, opening the

small door, latching the front door...

throwing keys, moving

the fridge again...

All in a flash!

Are they Spiderman and Superwoman?

What are they?

And after all that planning,

the blood-stained whiskey

bottle on the table...

they didn't clear that up?

How come?

Because they weren't professional killers.

Sir, it's simple...

if a father sees his

daughter's dead body...

will he cry standing outside

the room or run to hug her?

Has your daughter died?

Do you know what it

feels like to lose a child?

And you do?

To have a daughter,

you first need a wife...

You don't even have that.

We're talking about a

human reaction here...

That's exactly the point!

Human reactions can be different...

How can we generalize this?

Sir, please note...

Khempal's throat was slit completely...

in a full circle.

The girl's was only half slit.

SQ?

Human reaction. She was their daughter...

Emotional attachment...

So while murdering his child

the doctor said...

'Sorry dear, I'm slitting your throat...'

'Hope you're not in pain?'

'Almost done...'

'Just this one vein and you'll die!'

Let's be serious guys...

Sorry... but you're right,

their whole theory is a joke.

The internet router switched on and off

three times that night...

That means the parents were awake.

Next day when all hell broke loose,

and no one used the computer...

even then the router

switched on and off...

The router is made in India.

It turns on and off at its own will!

The computer was

actually used that day...

What for?

Shruti's friends used it...

Why?

To clean up disreputable literature...

What?

Porn... Pornographic material...

- You don't know? -

Okay... Testimony?

Off the record.

Why?

What would people say about the girl?

Oh... Compassion!

So Mr. Compassionate, what

was the motive for the murder?

Sudden rage.

Why?

The doctor found his

daughter and his servant

in a Sacrilegious Disposition.

Then he lost his self-control and...

Sacrilegious Disposition?

Missionary position.

- He then took the golf club and...-

first the servant, then the daughter...

The golf club was in the girl's room?

No, in the servant's room...

So the doctor found them in a sacre...

sacremonious?

Sacrilegious disposition?

Yes... in that disposition...
