Based on all the evidence, witnesses and facts,
the court believes that the accused has committed heinous crimes.
His misdeeds have ruined the life of the victim.
Not just the victim and the family,
the accused has hugely shocked society as well.
This crime can never be forgiven.
So, this court orders
that the accused should be hanged till death.
The historic decision given by the Bhopal High Court
is a milestone in itself
because the judge gave the verdict after just a few trials.
But the question of all these years still remains the same.
Are women safe in our society?
How much have we changed with the changing times?
Is it not true that a large section of society
still thinks of women as some commodity
and nothing more than that?
Not just as a baby-making machine
or someone created to serve men,
they are also treated as someone to be used and abused.
Sir…
-Sir… -Hand him to the public.
-Sir… -Don't spare him.
-Sit over there. -Say it properly.
What did you say?
Should I talk to you properly?
Should I?
You pig. I'll give you a few punches
and all your arrogance will vanish in seconds. Right now!
I will flee from right under your nose.
Not just you, even if other people like you come,
you won't be able to stop me from getting out of here.
Arrogance!
You have a lot of it.
If we had left you outside the court in front of the public,
they would have torn you apart.
Be grateful that you are safe in jail.
Don't be scared. You will rot here now.
I will see you be hanged till death.
I promise you. Start counting your days now.
What are you staring at?
Eyes down!
I told you to talk to me properly.
If you tell me to put my eyes down again,
you have no idea what I will do to you.
Sir.
I heard that the new prisoner is quite arrogant.
Who is he?
Oh, he is nothing.
He is very thick-skinned.
Thousands of scoundrels would have died
for this one scoundrel to be born.
Do you know what his name is?
Nandan Singh.
NAME - NANDAN SINGH PRISONER NO. 2978, DATE -15-7-2014
What is with this daily drama? Huh?
Will you keep fighting with people all day?
Will I just let it go if someone messes with me?
What did that man do?
I am telling you for the last time.
If you fight with someone again,
I will throw both of you out of this house.
What are you looking at? Will you hit me too?
You scoundrel!
I am respecting you as my uncle,
but you are crossing your limits.
If I go haywire,
I will stab you with it.
What did Nandan Singh even do?
What is he jailed for?
He has done a vile thing.
Do you remember the bus incident in Delhi?
This is more barbaric than that.
So, he is a rapist.
Who did he do it to?
A 12-year-old girl.
You know the Pandey Brothers from the plastic industry?
It was their daughter.
Anamika.
This is safe and I am fine too.
But I wonder
if this delicate thing will remain safe from her family.
I have been named Anamika.
I don't know how Anamika will rest now.
Anamika. Where are you?
Yes, Mom.
If I go somewhere, who will do all the household work?
You just keep talking, but you are quite prodigal.
Your Aunt Alia's friends have arrived.
Go and give them snacks.
You are so mean.
You call me prodigal, but you make me do all the work.
Okay, fine. Hurry up now. Your aunt must be waiting.
You should have called her here.
She never does any work either.
Are you done talking? Now, take this and hurry up.
Be careful.
Be careful, Anamika.
Give it to me.
Hey, let her do it. She is an expert.
Yes, aunt. You never have to do anything.
So, I have learned all the work by myself.
How much more work will you do? Have a seat.
You should do something as well.
Hey, do you think moving is easy?
I arranged this bed set just now.
I am really tired.
I am feeling very uneasy looking at all the stuff.
-Brother. -Yeah.
Wait and watch. This new house
is going to prove to be very lucky for our business.
May you live long for saying that, Adi.
If our business turns out to be successful,
we will buy the house beside ours as well.
Come on. Sharu.
Are the preparations done? I have brought all the stuff.
Idiot!
You are always fumbling around.
How will things be good
when she will keeps doing such things on a nice day?
-Sorry, Uncle. -What sorry?
You ruined all the stuff for the prayer. You ruined my clothes too.
I said sorry.
If you want, I'll do sit-ups while holding my ears.
Just look at her.
First, she makes a mistake, then she answers back.
Why are you always finding fault with me?
Are you going to argue now?
Why did you hit me?
You make mistakes in the business too.
Does Dad ever hit you?
Anamika! You have become so rude.
You have crossed the line today.
You will get hit by me too.
You will be locked in this room until the prayer is concluded.
Whatever the function, you are always creating trouble.
I don't want to live with you.
I am very bad, right?
One day, I will leave all of you.
Quiet! I made a mistake giving birth to you.
Sharu.
Sharvari.
What happened? What are you thinking about?
I think I went overboard while scolding Anamika.
Alia, you take care of the breakfast.
I'll go and check Anamika.
She has not eaten anything.
Yeah. She must be very angry today.
I will convince her.
I have made her favorite kheer.
Her anger will suffice when she sees it.
Anamika.
Sharvari, she must be in her room.
-Where could she have gone? -I don't know, Alia.
-I am feeling very scared. -Don't worry, Sharu.
She will be around here somewhere. We will find her.
Adi.
Will you keep cursing her, or will you find her?
What are you talking about? I'll come with you.
What do you think?
Where could she have gone?
Sir, we don't understand.
We moved here just a few days ago.
She doesn't know anyone around here.
I don't know what condition our child might be in.
Well…
When was the last time that you saw Anamika?
Sir…
Actually, there was a housewarming ceremony at our home.
-All of us… -It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have locked her in the room.
Did you keep your daughter locked in a room?
No, sir. Actually, the thing is, she is very naughty.
Today, she created a bit of mischief,
so her mom got upset.
-So, she locked her in the room. -I shouldn't have done that.
I shouldn't have done that.
Please find our daughter, sir.
Did you see this girl?
Yes, I have seen her.
Hasn't she been found yet?
What do you mean? Do you know that this girl is missing?
Yes, sir. Both of them were inquiring about her.
They left before I could say anything to them.
What were you going to tell them?
Did you see the girl?
Yes, sir. I saw her.
Beta. Do you want anything?
What happened? Is there a problem?
Where do you live?
When did this happen?
It must have been around four or five in the evening.
Fine. Aarti.
He saw the girl at around four in the evening.
It's 10 p.m. now. After so many hours,
I don't think the girl is around.
Where would she be?
Aarti. Please check.
Such barbarism with such a small child.
The girl is still alive.
Aarti.
Send her to the hospital immediately
and inform her family.
Look. The girl's condition is very critical.
There is a lot of internal damage
and bleeding as well.
So, we can't tell if she will survive or not.
Doctor, please do something.
The girl's statement is very important to us.
Even if she survives,
I don't think she will be in a condition to say anything.
We are doing our best.
-Sir… Anamika! My child. -Anamika.
She is in the ICU.
Anamika!
Annu!
-Annu! -Annu!
Annu!
A 12-year-old girl went missing near her home,
her body was found in a deserted place.
The girl was raped and left in a half-dead condition.
That innocent girl is still fighting for her life.
The person who did this hasn't been arrested yet.
Does this incident tell us
that in the big cities, the kids are not safe near their houses either?
Pawan…
Tell us.
Sir… Sir, I didn't do anything.
I swear on my wife and the kids. I didn't do anything.
Stop swearing on your wife and the kids. Say it.
Sir, I told you everything that I saw,
but you are here beating me up.
You told us six hours later
when we asked you about it,
so that you could save your life.
Accept your guilt soon,
or else it will be proven by the DNA test that you raped her.
Sir, I have a daughter too.
I cannot even think about doing this to a little girl.
Keep hitting him until he starts speaking.
No, sir. I didn't do anything, sir.
Sir, that man is not saying anything.
The barbarism that was committed against that girl,
it was not just rape. It seems more than a rape.
Along with this random crime,
revenge crime cannot be ignored.
Maybe someone did it out of revenge.
Well, did you get some other information from the crime scene?
Not yet, Sir. But the investigation is going on.
She wants to tell us something about that girl.
Please have a seat.
Tell us.
I was there.
I saw her.
Where were you? Who did you see?
The place where that little girl was found.
The girl
everyone is talking about.
I saw her getting raped.
What?
You saw her getting raped,
and you are coming to the police station after two days?
I wasn't in the city.
I was in Agra.
I had to catch a train to Agra that day.
When I went towards the taxi to go to the station,
there was a man a bit far away.
He was wearing a blue jacket.
I thought he was lying on the floor.
When I went a bit forward,
he was with a girl…
You should have called the police at that time.
I got very scared after looking at all of it.
I thought he would kill me too.
When I came back today, I found out
that the perpetrator hasn't been arrested yet.
I have come here with a lot of courage.
Well.
Did you see him? How did he look?
He was wearing a blue jacket.
Would you be able to recognize him? Can you help with a sketch?
Yeah.
We showed this sketch to the girl's family.
They have identified this man.
His name is Nandan Singh.
Nandan Singh.
What connection does Nandan Singh have with the Pandey family?
Sir, Nandan Singh used to work in their company till a year ago.
But since he was fired from his job,
many cases of affray have been registered against him.
These days he is living with his uncle in Sangampuri.
Yes, sir. What is it?
-Does Nandan Singh live here? -Yes, sir.
Sir. What is it, sir?
Tell us what you have been asked. Where is Nandan?
Sir, he hasn't come home since last night.
Call him.
His phone is switched off.
Aarti.
Take the phone number
and put his phone on surveillance.
The moment Nandan comes home,
you will inform us immediately,
or else along with him, you will be charged as well.
Understood?
Sir, Nandan was seen at the railway station.
Our team has arrested him there.
Good. Come on.
Release his hands.
He ruined a little girl's life.
I will teach him a lesson now.
Hold him.
I will make such a charge sheet against you
that you will surely get a death sentence.
Annu.
Annu, your perpetrator has been arrested.
Annu.
I will make sure that he gets a death sentence, my child.
There has been another legal twist in Bhopal rape case.
The accused in this case, Nandan Singh,
just a few months before the death penalty
has appealed against this punishment.
The accused, for many years,
has been using delay tactics to save himself from the punishment.
The victim, who was 12-13 year old girl
has not been able to come out of the trauma of that incident.
The perpetrator of that girl hasn't been given the death penalty yet.
Is this what we call justice?
When will that perpetrator be hanged?
The whole country wants to know.
Yes, Sir. Did you hear about Nandan Singh's case?
Yes, Sir.
Sir, he has appealed twice against the death penalty.
It has been rejected both times,
but he has given the same appeal the third time as well.
Sir, I think that his appeal hasn't been taken sincerely.
Sir, I am not saying that he is innocent.
But if he is innocent,
and if his appeal is being rejected without any charge,
won't it be against justice?
Nandan. I am Advocate Shriya.
I want to fight your case.
But I don't have any money to give you.
I don't want money.
This is charitable help on behalf of our firm.
Look, Nandan. If you let me fight this case,
all the expenses related to this case
will be borne by our firm.
You want to help me.
But everyone
has been cursing me for the last 11 years.
Why do you want to fight my case?
Because the way you were appealing again and again,
I thought that you should be given a chance.
If you are innocent and if I save you,
it's not just for you and me,
it would be a win for the justice as well.
Do you believe me?
For now, I want to fight your case.
Let's see if the judge accepts our appeal or not.
Your honor, 11 years ago,
48 hours after the crime was committed,
the police arrested my client Mr. Nandan Singh.
We all are aware of these facts.
The court has already announced its decision on it.
Come to the point now.
On what basis,
should we have a hearing for the perpetrator's appeal?
I would like to start with a basic fact.
The eyewitness in this case.
Based on her testimony, my client was arrested and punished.
She gave her testimony two days after the crime was committed.
-Sir, the witness is still alive… -What's the point?
Sir, I am coming to the point.
The point is that
when the eyewitness gave her statement,
she was a cataract patient.
So, how did the police believe her testimony?
One more thing.
No DNA samples of the rapist were found on the victim's body.
So, how was my client Nandan Singh believed to be a rapist?
How did the police arrest him for the crime?
Your honor, I just know that
when it comes to the investigation and hearings of this case,
things were done in a lot of haste.
So, I request that the court
accept our appeal.
As for the evidence and facts related to this case,
please give us more time to present them.
This court accepts Nandan Singh's appeal
and gives you the time of two weeks.
The court also orders
that the investigation of this case
should be done by the senior officer of the crime branch.
Jai Hind, Sir.
I have received the court orders.
I will start the investigation soon.
Look, Nandan.
As per your statement, you had accepted that
you met the girl on the day of the incident.
So, you met that girl.
Yeah.
I did meet her and I knew that girl.
How did you know her?
I used to work in their ancestral company.
I went to meet Anamika's father, Mr. Pandey.
Who are you?
This is Mr. Nirvan's house, right?
-Yeah. -You are Anamika, right?
-Do you know me? -Yeah.
I have known you since you were a little girl.
Do you know? I have a sister just like you.
She looks exactly like you.
But how do you know me?
I used to work in your dad's factory.
I found out that he had bought a new house in the colony.
So, I thought I would congratulate him.
I thought I would meet him as well.
Sorry. We are having a housewarming ceremony.
No one has the time to meet you.
After that, the police arrested me from the railway station.
They found a blue jacket in my room.
I was punished based on that.
The police believe that
that old lady saw me with that girl and…
I thought of her to be like my sister.
How could I do such a thing to her?
That woman is lying.
She has framed me.
You go. I'm coming.
What is it, Constable?
I heard you are retiring.
You heard it right.
It's time for my retirement.
You said that with me being here,
you will flee from here.
-What about that? -Constable.
In the game of cricket,
until the last ball is thrown,
the game isn't considered over.
I remember my promise.
I will flee away from here before your retirement.
Annu.
It's time for a walk now.
The victim of the Bhopal Rape case has died.
Even though the death was natural,
that girl was fighting for her life for many years.
This is the saddest phase of this case.
On one hand, to stop his death penalty,
the perpetrator has applied to the court for the third time,
but it is the victim who has died.
The lawyer who has lobbied for the perpetrator should ask herself,
by putting a halt on the death penalty of the perpetrator,
what example she wants to set in society?
Or by manipulating the judicial procedure,
is she doing some publicity stunt?
So, you are fighting Nandan Singh's case.
Yes, Sir. You must have received court orders.
Of course.
Sir, 11 years ago, after arresting Nandan Singh,
you filed the charge sheet in court, right?
Look. This is the file of that case.
It has all the important papers. Please study them.
We had thoroughly investigated this case.
But sadly, the perpetrator hasn't been punished yet.
-But what can we do…? -I know, Samdesh.
You are a capable police officer.
But they are court orders.
We will have to strictly follow them.
We will have to deal with this case with a fresh approach.
Fine. I fully support you.
This is what I expected.
First, we will have to meet that old lady.
This case stands because of the testimony of the eyewitness.
Do you want to say anything else?
Yes, Sir. I would like to say that
justice should prevail.
It is said that even if hundreds of criminals are freed,
not one innocent person should be punished.
This is the objective of our judicial system.
Even after so many years,
I haven't been able to forget that night, sir.
I saw that man with my own eyes.
I saw him doing a horrible thing to that child.
You found that girl in an injured condition nearby, right?
Yes, that place is nearby.
Well…
The man you saw that night,
it was this man, right?
Yeah.
I got this sketch made.
This man was wearing a blue jacket.
It must have been very dark that night.
Yes.
Actually, you got cataract surgery after that.
Sometimes, in the darkness, the color blue seems black.
How can you be so sure that
the man that day was wearing a blue jacket?
-Not a black one? -He was wearing a blue one.
Sharvari.
Just like you, all of us are saddened by Anamika's death.
But it's good that she died.
No… I mean to say that
she was not with it even when she was with us.
God has released her from the pain.
If you had become a mother,
you would understand a mother's pain.
You wouldn't give such advice.
When a part of the body separates from it,
it can get very painful.
Anamika was a part of me.
I think I shouldn't go in front of Anamika's family.
They might feel bad.
Okay. You stay here.
Look, I know this must be a difficult time for you.
Answering our questions
will be quite difficult for you.
But what can we do?
They are court orders.
So, please cooperate with us.
We will surely not cooperate
if you want to save the perpetrator from the death penalty.
-Actually… -We don't even want to talk to you.
He is right.
Because of this case and because of that lawyer,
our family has turned into a joke.
Yes, Inspector.
Don't try to change that judgment by bothering us.
That scoundrel should be hanged till death
as soon as possible.
With the conditions that have been created,
this case has become even more complicated.
It's as if time has stopped for Anamika's family.
Yes, I feel bad for her family too.
Whenever I come to this area,
I feel the environment of this colony to be quite negative.
Environment to be negative?
What do you mean by that, Samdesh?
Jugal.
Related to the Mehta family,
there was another incident
which was coincidentally related to that area as well.
What happened?
In that locality, a man named Surendralal's family lived there.
Surendralal had a daughter named Shruti.
Shruti and Alia
were best friends.
Shruti had also fallen in love with a guy named Raj.
Raj previously tutored Shruti.
Because of this relationship,
there were a lot of fights in her family.
Shurti's father, Surendralal
threatened to kill Raj
because he did not belong to their community.
After a few days, Raj eloped with Shruti.
A police complaint was filed after that.
But after some time, the matter was settled
because the family had accepted their relationship.
What was the incident that occurred?
After their wedding, Shruti and Raj moved to Delhi.
Three years into the marriage, when Shruti was pregnant,
she suddenly died by accident.
Look at the bad luck.
Over here, there was a short circuit at Shruti's father's place,
and no family member survived after the house was on fire.
Two incidents at the same time.
Isn't this too much bad luck?
Well, that guy, Raj…
-Where is he these days? -He was in Delhi during that time.
I had heard that he was depressed.
He tried to commit suicide as well.
I don't know where he is these days.
One more thing.
Do you know who helped Shruti and Raj's love story succeed?
-Who? -Anamika's aunt, Alia.
When did this happen?
In 2014.
Why isn't this mentioned in the case file?
Shruti's love story and Anamika's rape case has no connection.
That's why.
The guy's name is Raj Kumar.
As per our records, he lives in GTB Nagar.
Yes… Okay?
I'll get there by tomorrow.
Find out all his details till then.
Great.
This is neither bad luck
nor a coincidence.
This incident is something else.
What is it?
You keep coming to bother me.
At least, you should mind my age.
Ma'am, these are court orders.
Both of us will have to follow them.
We just have a few questions and we need answers to them.
Well.
Look at this man carefully and tell us
that the man you saw raping the young girl that night,
was it this man?
Yes, it was him.
How many times do I have to tell you that?
Your brother's home is in Delhi.
You must know him quite well too.
Was it this man?
Your honor, we haven't found any strong evidence in this case,
but there is some circumstantial evidence
and an eyewitness
which proves the fact that
my client, Mr. Nandan Singh is innocent.
What have you found out about this case?
Please prove your claims.
I would like to call Officer Jugal Sinha to the witness box.
He will present the investigation report of this case to you.
Tell us.
What does your investigation say?
Your honor, the facts that we have found out during the investigation,
we couldn't find back then.
The crime scene was the same.
The rape happened as well.
The witness saw the perpetrator committing rape as well.
The witness gave a statement
that the perpetrator was wearing a blue jacket.
That is correct as well.
However, the identity of the perpetrator was changed.
Nandan did not rape the little girl that night.
It was someone else.
Judge.
Please forgive me, judge.
Because of me,
his whole life got destroyed.
What could I have done?
I was helpless.
To frame him,
I had to get his sketch made.
Because I had to save the scoundrel.
Raj. You?
That girl…
What did you do? Aren't you ashamed?
You scoundrel.
Calm down. Don't start nagging now.
What had to happen has happened.
Let me think about what I have to do now.
You won't say anything to the police,
or else I will kill you.
Your condition will be worse than this girl.
Now, do as I say.
You will go to the police station
and say that you saw the rapist.
You won't say my name. It will be someone else.
-No. -Hey! Do you want to die?
Do as I say.
You have a crazy neighbor, right? Nandan!
He was roaming around here.
You should take his name. And yes.
If you take my name even by mistake,
I will be jailed, but I will kill you before that.
Remember that.
Raj was the perpetrator.
I got scared because of his threats.
At first, I went out of the city.
When I came two days later,
I framed him.
Your honor, Raj has absconded for now,
but we have started looking for him.
We think that Raj murdered his pregnant wife Shruti as well.
He murdered Shruti's father Surendralal
and the rest of the family as well.
These murders were made to look like an accident.
We strongly believe
that Raj is mentally unstable.
Sign here.
Thank you, Miss Leena.
If you weren't there,
the court would have never released me.
This is not just our win.
-Justice has won as well. -Miss Leena.
I have to meet my sister.
She is eagerly waiting for you as well.
Go now.
Pinky.
Pinky, I am here.
What are you thinking about?
I am your brother Nandan.
It's Nandan, Pinky.
What did you do to my sister?
At last, we arrested Raj.
The trial against him is on-going in court.
There was a great injustice done to Nandan,
but Raj will surely be punished for his crimes.
It was our department's mistake
that Raj didn't come under our radar for 11 years.
The testimony of an old woman wasn't investigated and confirmed.
Anamika's family made a mistake as well.
A psychopath like Raj
used to constantly visit Anamika's place.
Anamika's family couldn't recognize his real intentions.
There was a hint of a crime
when a tuition teacher like Raj
trapped his student Shruti in a romantic relationship.
Even Anamika's bua, Alia
couldn't recognize his ill intentions
and the crimes that he might commit.
He treated 12-year-old Anamika as his prey and dishonored her.
Many times, we don't recognize the intentions of the wrong people
and think of the right people to be wrong. ns of the wrong people
