The Karma Killings Page #4

Then he returned

after six months.

He stayed for a few days,

and then went back.

We would go together

to pick grass or gather wood.

Wherever we went,

we went together. He

never left me alone.

When we were together, there was

love and affection between us.

There was only one phone

in our village at that time.

Every morning, he used to

call me on that phone.

We would talk,

and he would say,

"I am missing home.

I miss you."

He said there were

some problems then.

"I can't come home

because there are

some problems here,

but I will come soon."

From the time the visual

imagery would appear,

till the time he would

dispose the body

and what I call

a totally calm period,

which would come

the subsequent day.

In that kind of 48 hours,

I can say almost he lived

in a different state

of consciousness.

If you see the whole list

of people he has picked up,

he starts with children

from the age range of

five to seven

and then gradually it increases.

Then it goes to adolescents,

and then it comes to adults,

- and then it goes to married women also.

In all of these places,

he was trying to experiment

his own competence.

To get his urge satisfied.

Now, after that will come to

the relevant question.

At Pandher's request,

did you feed him

human flesh?

That is

the relevant question.

The police thought Koli,

upon Pandher's request,

cooked and fed him

human flesh.

But it is not like that.

He has said,

"No." It's negative.

There is a little variation,

but not enough

to consider it a lie.

Two opposite natures.

One was a totally extrovert,

who was fond of...

Who belonged

to an elite society.

Well educated,

fond of getting girls.

Having fun, enjoying life.

The other one

is a totally introvert.

And that is where

he clarified in the end, okay?

But it was the extreme anger

towards the owner,

which made him feel

that he...

See, he couldn't have

inner control.

Then the external environment

Became so very congenial.

It did not help him

in regaining his control.

On the contrary,

it helped him in giving vent

to his inner urge.

- I cry so much,

that I pray to God

that all these tears

should go to his children.

To his grandchildren.

To the person

who has done all this.

If it has to be my husband,

then let it be so.

If Pandher did it,

or got it done, then

let that be so.

But whoever is responsible,

may that person

be destroyed. That's it.

After the case was opened,

I didn't eat for a month.

Then I had my son.

I had my son.

I felt hopeful,

as I raised him. Maybe then?

My own milk

wasn't there for him.

He couldn't get

his own mother's milk.

I felt very sad.

Because I was not eating,

my son couldn't get any milk.

Because he wasn't getting

any milk, I started eating

to give him my milk.

- Slowly, he started getting my milk.

When he got my milk,

I felt happy

- that he is getting some nutrients.

Then, I breast-fed him

for five years.

I've found happiness in him,

since he was born.

She said, "I do not want

to write this letter."

I told her, "You have to."

Because you are his blood.

You have to write

to your father in your

own hand at least once."

"What were you thinking?

You destroyed our lives.

And what did you get

from that?

Please tell us.

What went through your head?

Thank you, Dad.

Your daughter, Simran."

This Pandher,

who was constantly

being shown on TV,

we used to think

he was a monster,

not a human being.

When I saw them

for the first time,

I felt no pity for them.

Their faces told me

that they had no regrets

for their crimes.

I would think about

the parents and put

myself in their shoes.

Then I realized

how deep I needed to go

and how much justice

these parents deserved.

There was so much

sensation around this case.

You would have gotten

convicted.

Whether you are innocent,

whether you did it or not,

you will be sentenced.

As a criminal lawyer, I felt

how awful the crime was.

No lawyer in Ghaziabad

wanted to take up our case.

- They just didn't want

to take up our case.

They had branded my father

as a murderer and as a molester.

Pandher's son

came to us.

He said,

"My father is innocent.

And I need your help."

I told him, "Going by what

I have read and seen,

I don't think

your father is innocent."

Then I looked at all

the evidence and realized,

"Wow, this man is

actually innocent."

The truth seemed so far

from what was reported.

If I can't help

an innocent man,

then why am I

practicing law?

- Rimpa Haldar case

was one of those cases

where we were summoned by the court.

We were not charge sheeted by the CBI.

- Previously,

our family was fine.

Even if we were poor,

we were at peace.

After my girl vanished,

our peace disappeared.

As long as we live,

we'll be tense.

This is not good.

The world is a very bad place.

The cops said she could

be anywhere.

Who cares?

No one helps the poor.

That's the fact.

We went crazy looking for her.

Whenever I go out,

I think of her.

When I go to a wedding,

I remember her.

If our daughter was alive,

she'd be married by now.

She is always on my mind.

His charges

as per the CBI charge sheet were

minute charges.

Immoral Traffic Act.

Corruption Act.

Uh, harboring.

That's about it.

- When everyone learned that

he had been charged

for only two minor crimes,

there was

a bit of an uproar.

- How can nothing be found against him?

No evidence?

This is impossible.

They build all

these buildings, empires,

rooms with A/C.

What's the use?

Throw it all away.

Law and order does not exist.

I want

to tell the media that,

whenever he comes to our court,

He will be beaten up.

This is how we will give

an answer.

We are human beings

as well as lawyers.

Every citizen of India

should do the same.

This is the first time

something so disgusting

has occurred in India.

All this cannibalism

of children. Selling

their parts.

The law is for humans.

This guy is a monster.

When he comes to our court,

this is how we will greet him.

This time,

he got off.

- My heart will only rest

when he is hanged

for his awful crimes.

It will give me

some peace of mind.

- The victims'

families told me

that when those two

were confessing,

they were also

present there.

Pandher confessed

in front of them.

Koli also gave a statement

saying he did it.

Pandher himself said

he had killed.

- So, Tehelka

found some documents

containing the case diary

from Payal's case.

Every case has a diary,

which is maintained by

the investigating officer.

That's the case diary.

But the CBI mentioned

the case diary

only where Koli took

responsibility for the murders.

They omitted completely

Pandher's confession,

where he admitted

to the murders.

- Pandher said,

"When I could not

sleep at night,

I asked Koli

to get me a girl.

Koli would go

in front of the gate

and find me a girl

and bring her to me.

First I would rape the child

and then give her to Koli.
