It's Kishwar Qureshi speaking.
Can I talk to Aasma?
Madam, please call in the morning. The time is up now.
Listen… Listen to me.
Enough now. You will get tired.
After I leave tomorrow, no one will be there to massage your legs.
Take as much advantage as you can.
Stay there nicely, my child.
Study properly.
It was your dad's dream for you to become a pilot.
His dream is our dream.
Why did Dad abandon us?
Please don't refuse today. I want to know about it.
-It was because of me. -What?
I told your father to find a good job
and to earn more money.
One day, he left to look for a job.
He never returned.
So, it's my fault, right?
Now, you are going far away from me too.
But I will surely return.
Taashi got married three years ago, right?
Where was she since then?
She was in Egypt for the last three years.
She came here ten days ago
and all of this…
Please handle yourself.
When she was in Egypt,
did you ever used to talk to her or not?
We did.
She used to call us.
But… why are you asking these questions?
Sir, I want to know why Taashi committed suicide.
Don't you want to know?
Was there some problem with her husband?
And… why didn't her husband come here?
There was a problem with the visa.
He will come. Do you want to ask anything else?
Not right now.
Come here.
Will you eat chocolate?
No…
Here. It's for you.
What is your name?
My name is… Aslam.
-Do you live around here? -Yes. I live here.
Do you know Taashi?
Yes.
When Taashi came back,
I saw her then.
She looked terrified.
She passed by me while running away.
When she got married, did you see anything?
Some people came that day.
Taashi was happy that day.
Mom, why are you upset?
I will call you regularly.
Dad, take care of yourself and Mom.
-Shall we? It's time for the flight now. -Yeah.
Go, my child.
Okay, fine.
I live at the Shraddha colony nearby.
I will come to meet you if I need your help.
She was in Egypt for the last three years.
So, Mrs. Shahid Khan.
It's been 20 days, but your honeymoon is still going on.
First, it was Ooty, then it was Shimla. Then it was Udaipur.
Does he have a job or not?
Actually, he is going to Egypt.
-So, I am going with him. -Egypt?
But you were going to live in Chennai, right?
Actually, Shahid has an Egyptian passport.
He is saying that his leave has been cancelled.
You're happy, right?
Well, Taaru. I'll talk to you later.
Excuse me.
Where did Dimple's mother go?
She died.
After Dimple's marriage, the poor woman got run over by a truck one day.
-What? -Yeah.
Sir, we studied Taashi's suicide case in detail.
-Is it the same family? -Yes, sir.
Sir, Taashi's husband hasn't arrived yet.
Taashi's family says that her husband lives in Egypt.
He has been working in Kenya on contract for a few years.
But we haven't been able to contact him either.
However, as per the post-mortem reports, everything is clean.
The girl came back home after three years of marriage.
Then she died by suicide at home.
Get the information from the informers.
Find out about the girls
who have married guys from Egypt and Kenya and went there,
or they are going to go there.
Sir, I wanted to ask you something.
The dead body case of ten years ago that you told me about,
how is it related to the Kalyanam scam?
I could be wrong, Ravi.
That case hasn't been solved yet.
During the investigation of the case, it was revealed that
some girls got married over here,
they went to Africa and they were raped and oppressed.
There were many atrocities committed.
Then their husbands divorced them.
Sir, the body was found in Indore. So, how can it be a Kalyanam scam?
That's a big question, Ravi.
It is obvious.
If this case is a Kalyanam scam,
then the girls must have been given a divorce and sent back to India.
But after coming here, they would be more oppressed.
Those girls did come back to India,
but none of them returned to their homes.
Ten years ago, we found the decomposed bodies of the girls.
When we deeply investigated the case,
we found out that all those girls were victims of the Kalyanam scam.
Sir, didn't you find out who was doing all of this?
Nothing.
We just found out a name.
Pasha Khan.
There hasn't been a case in the last ten years.
Then suddenly, a case came forward.
Isn't it weird?
I think that
this scam has been happening for the last ten years.
It just didn't come in front of us.
It means that the criminals have become alert
and they have changed their ways.
That's the reason there has been no case.
I am sure there would be corrupt people in the system as well.
They must be getting bribes.
Look, Taaru. We are just regular people in front of them.
They seem very powerful and inhumane.
I think we should stay far away from all of it.
Stay away?
What about that 19-year-old girl Taashi?
So many girls must be trapped.
Why did Taashi die?
Nobody is even pained by it.
Let the police handle all of it.
We have informed the ACP about the case anyway.
Let them do their work now.
Look, Taaru.
You tried by yourself, right?
Aslam.
What happened, Aslam?
I was scared to tell you over there.
On the day Taashi committed suicide,
a day before that, a man came during the night.
He was threatening her.
I want you back in two days.
You will come to me willingly.
Or else your parents… Do you understand me?
I will kill your parents.
Do you understand?
I heard that Taashi committed suicide.
I got very scared.
Please don't tell my mom and dad.
Please don't tell them.
Okay… Don't be scared, Aslam.
Until I don't tell you to, don't share this with anyone.
Huh? You should go home now.
Come on.
Sir, there is an eyewitness, but he is a 15-year-old kid.
So, he is a minor.
We can't get him directly involved.
But it is proven that this is the case of abetment to suicide.
Even after such tragedy happened, neither the in-laws cared,
nor the husband arrived.
It is possible that this case is associated with the Kalyanam scam?
Sir, Assistant Judge Prakash is on line one.
Sir, actually, I am putting in a request.
It's the case of a girl.
It's a suicide case and the girl has been buried.
But, Sir, we feel that this could be a part of some bigger scam.
So, under my supervision,
I want to exhume the body and get the post-mortem done.
Immediately file a request. The judge will issue a warrant on the spot.
Let's see.
What secrets are buried in that grave along with Taashi?
Hey, what are you doing?
I won't let you do this to my daughter.
Wait. We have a warrant.
Sir.
Sir, there are marks of violence on her private parts.
Per the doctor, it has been more brutal.
There are a lot of injuries.
Call the family.
Who did you get her married to?
-Who did she marry? -Anwar Shaikh.
Your daughter didn't contact you for three years.
Didn't you care about where and how she was?
Didn't you try to find out if she was alive or not?
Even when she came back,
you didn't ask anything about where she was and how she was.
The doctor found the scars of violence on her body.
You are a mother, right?
Didn't you see anything?
I didn't see anything of that sort, sir.
And you… Daughters are dear to their fathers, right?
The pain, suffering and the oppression she faced,
didn't you feel any of it?
I did, sir.
I felt it when Taashi came back.
I have three more daughters. They are in the village.
Two of my girls are yet to get married.
When Taashi got married, we had our burden reduced.
She didn't tell us about anything like this.
How did you meet the guy?
Sir, he came to our house with a marriage proposal.
He was very rich.
You saw the big car and money.
But you didn't care to find out
who the guy was, what he did, who his parents were.
You just gave your daughter to him like a herd of sheep
so that your responsibility could come to an end.
Sir, we are poor people.
Once the wedding was done and we received the money,
we got our second daughter married with that money.
She came to our house nine days before she died.
We got scared as to how we would feed her.
When she came back, why didn't you ask her
how she was, what condition she was in,
where she was, why she came back alone
and where her husband was?
He had divorced our Taashu after six months of marriage.
You hid this from us.
Where was Taashi living after the wedding?
We don't know, sir.
We got a call after the divorce
that they were sending Taashi back over here,
but she never came back.
At least you should have asked where she was and why hadn't she returned.
We thought that both of them had reconciled.
Why do parents always think that?
Why do they always want the reconciliation to happen?
Why don't they try to find out about their daughters?
Just once.
If you had tried to find out just once
about where your daughter was and what condition she was in,
maybe she would have been alive today.
Taashi!
We have to check this house.
Also, check the room where Taashi committed suicide.
Ravi. Check inside.
Pasha Khan.
Some Pasha Khan sent me the money, Sir.
God knows how many girls are trapped.
Sir, they are being divorced after the marriage.
Instead of sending those girls to their parent's home,
they are being sent somewhere else.
But there have been no complaints.
After three years of marriage,
Taashi's family didn't bother to find out about her.
They are poor people.
These brokers and middlemen target such families.
The family gets the money,
and in some cases, the family must be giving dowry as well.
It's a very complicated case, Sir.
There is no lead or trail. How will we crack it?
Call at Nagpur headquarters.
Get the file of the case from ten years ago
and all the documents related to Taashi's case.
Bring them to me.
Africa, Egypt and Kenya.
From these countries,
all the girls that have landed in India during the last year,
I want the details of all of them.
There would be a lot of data, Sir.
Ravi, I want the data.
The age bracket is less than three years.
Find out about it from all the international airports in India.
Pasha Khan.
Aasma, my child. How are you? Huh?
Mom, I am fine.
I've been trying to call you for so long.
You are fine, right?
I will come to India soon and meet you.
All of that is fine, but you are fine over there, right?
You are happy, right?
-You take care of yourself, Mom. -Yeah.
Aasma.
Aas…
Why isn't she answering my questions?
And…
She didn't ask about my cough either.
Listen to me.
It's just a regular cough. It will go away in minutes.
Really? Then why do we need to go to the doctor?
You should go to the doctor when it proves to be fatal.
Sir, the girls that have come to Egypt, Kenya and South Africa,
I have checked the list of our age group.
I cross-checked with their families as well.
I checked with many girls. More than 300.
Sir, 119 girls came back during the last year,
but didn't go to their homes.
We got these details
from Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bangalore and Lucknow
international landing airports.
Sir, the maximum number of girls have landed at Mumbai airport.
All the international airports are there,
start the investigation at their exits.
I want the landing date details of these 119 girls.
After coming out of the airport, they must have hired a taxi.
It must have been captured on CCTV.
These girls came to India from Egypt,
but after they came back,
where did they disappear to?
Sir, we found this cab.
Many girls were picked up through this cab.
The owner's name is Aman Abdul Razak.
He drives as well.
-Get him here. -We have activated the informers.
They'll arrest him the moment they see him.
Most of the girls have disappeared from Mumbai airport, right?
Get ready to go to Mumbai.
Come on.
Say it.
-I will tell you everything. -Say it.
-I'll tell you. -Say it.
I just… I just get the money, sir. That too, in cash.
I am just told to drop them in Jharkhand.
I just drop them to Jharkhand.
Going from here to Jharkhand is a long journey.
No girl has ever complained, sir.
Or else, I swear to god I would have helped them.
When did you last drop them?
-When did you last drop them? -Last week.
There's a place in Maharashtra called Vasai.
I dropped two girls at a factory over there.
Who told you to drop them?
I don't know that.
I talk to them on call. I have never met them.
Sir, I am a taxi driver.
I swear to god I have nothing to do with it.
Please let me go. None of it is my fault.
Take his phone number and his details.
Don't leave the city without informing us. Understood?
-Hey. -Yeah.
Tell us your phone number and your address too.
Maybe the girls were here.
We arrived late.
Find out whose number this is.
The number you are trying to call is currently switched off.
The phone is switched off. I'll get the details.
Has Aasma arrived?
Is this Aasma's house?
Yes, Aasma's mother lives here.
Where is she now?
She is no more.
She fell off the terrace two weeks ago.
-Where is Aasma? -She got married.
She went to Egypt.
How do you know Aasma?
Aasma was in my school.
Then she left the school and went to a shelter home.
Aisha, we will discuss this at six o'clock.
Anyways, your math is quite strong.
Do one thing. Go to the kitchen.
Your favorite sheer khurma has been prepared.
Excuse me.
-ACP -Yes, sir. What is it?
What happened, sir?
-Was Aasma in your shelter home? -Yes, sir.
Aasma was with us for around six months.
She was a very capable child.
What happened, sir?
Why are you enquiring about her?
Is she alright?
Who got Aasma married?
Her mother Kishwar received a marriage proposal for her.
The guy's family was giving them some money.
Please, Mrs. Kishwar.
I request of you. Please don't do this.
She is just 16 years old. She is brilliant and hardworking.
She will do something of value if she studies and gets educated.
That's right, ma'am.
That's what I want too, but the thing is
a great marriage proposal has come for Aasma.
The guy lives outside India.
He says that he will let Aasma study there.
The quality of education over there is quite good.
So, I am taking Aasma away.
When I talked to Kishwar for the last time,
she said that Aasma was completely fine
and Aasma mailed me as well.
For the last two weeks, I haven't been able to reach Kishwar.
What was written in the mails?
Look at this, sir.
Madam, I am very happy here.
Don't worry about me.
Madam, I got admitted to a big school today.
It's a very good school. Everyone speaks English here.
I am at peace knowing that Aasma's education didn't stop.
She was a very bright student, sir.
But what I don't understand is
why are you asking such questions about her?
I hope that everything will be fine, sir.
That's what we hope as well.
She should be fine where she is. If she contacts you…
Shabnam. Rihanna. Don't be naughty.
Go inside.
I get a lot of happiness when I see these girls.
If you get any updates about Aasma, please inform me.
And sir, if there is any problem,
bring Aasma over here.
She will be safe here.
Ravi. Take her contact number and these emails from her.
Listen to me carefully.
All of you get underground.
No. There's nothing to worry about.
There will be no deal for a month now.
Sir, Fatima's shelter home Raabta is clean.
We kept an eye on her for a month.
There were no suspicious movements.
Any information about the middlemen?
The kid that was Taashi's neighbor?
Did he help create the sketch? He saw that man.
No, sir. He doesn't remember anything properly.
We have just found dead ends.
Where I was ten years ago with this case,
I am still stuck there.
Even during that time, we couldn't find out who Pasha Khan is
or what he does. Nothing!
Let's do one thing.
He doesn't seem very important, but keep an eye on him.
-Did you find anything? -No, sir.
I just received a photo. He is a cleaner.
There's no extraordinary movement in Raabta.
It's just daily work.
How many times a week does he come here?
He comes once a week to clean.
I just get the money, sir. That too, in cash.
I am just told to drop them in Jharkhand.
They are the same people. Take a closer look at the photo.
It means that Fatima Shaikh is involved.
It is obvious that she is involved.
We have to find out if she is just involved,
or if everything is happening under her reign.
I'll tell the local police to bring her here.
Wait… Don't make that mistake.
She is very smart.
If we pick her up right now, she will deny it.
We don't have any proof. We won't be able to keep her in custody.
And the girls that she has with her, we won't be able to rescue them.
Before we reach there, she'll make all the girls disappear.
Ravi.
This shouldn't go out of this room.
Is that him?
I want you back in two days.
You will come to me willingly.
Yes! It's him. That's him.
Yes, it's him. It's him… It's him.
It's him. Ma'am…
We had found a clue,
but we let that clue go.
If he is Pasha Khan
who has given me sleepless nights for the last ten years…
Pasha Khan who has haunted me for ten years was in front of me,
but I let him go.
How did I miss this?
How could I make such a big mistake?
Did you find anything?
Your suspicion was correct.
This is a Kalyanam scam.
We'll start with this case. Then we will move forward.
He is that man.
He is absconding right now. Maybe he is underground.
Now, this fact should be kept secret,
or else it will be difficult to rescue the girls.
Girls are being sent to Africa and Egypt in the Kalyanam scam.
After going there, they are raped and oppressed.
Then they are given a divorce and sent back to India.
But in India, there is someone who is sending them there
or he is selling them.
Maybe he is that guy.
Come what may, we have to get to this person.
We don't know what condition those girls might be in.
Sir…
If the victims of the Kalyanam scam are coming back to India,
then Dimple must have arrived as well.
Can we search for her too?
We will try our best.
Just pray for Dimple to be alive.
Call the cyber police immediately.
I am not going there for life.
Enough now, Taaru.
How much more will you cry?
If I am married, shouldn't I go to the honeymoon?
I didn't tell you not to go on your honeymoon.
Instead of crying while seeing me off, you are crying right now.
If Shahid looks at you, he will get jealous too.
He should feel jealous.
Make him understand.
I came into your life before him. I will stay till the end.
I will never be able to stay away from you.
We will always be friends.
We'll remain close friends.
Not the ones who move forward and get busy with their lives.
You just see.
People will give examples of our friendship one day.
Okay, smile now. How much more will you cry?
Hey, listen.
I have a flight now.
Shall I go?
Sir.
The phones of all the employees of Raabta are being tapped.
All of their calls are being heard.
He is Prateek. The best cop of the cyber cell.
Sir, these calls from Africa are being rerouted.
-It's difficult to track them. -Can you read Fatima's messages?
It's difficult. It's risky too.
-We'll have to put in a bug. -Go ahead.
Sir, I am sending a message to Fatima Shaikh.
She just has to open this message. Then my work will be done.
These people from the bank…
Sir, we got the access. Tell us what we have to find out.
Look for Pasha Khan.
Search these things.
Sir, there is an address.
There is a message as well.
It says to send Rs 10,000 to some address.
What's the address?
2/4 GP Road, Girgaum, Mumbai.
Ravi. Mumbai.
Do you know him?
Yes, he is Ameen Shaikh. This is his house.
-This one? -Yeah.
Ameen Shaikh.
Who are you? What do you want?
Is Ameen here?
Say it loudly. I am hard at hearing.
Is Ameen at home?
We are builders. The ones who construct buildings.
Your son booked an apartment. It's ready now.
We have come to see if Ameen lives here or not.
He has gone out. You can come later.
At least call and ask him.
Call him once. Ask him.
Ameen, that apartment…
Mom, I will reach Rohtak in an hour and call you.
Padma.
Trace Ameen's number.
I want his current location.
Let's go to the airport.
We are going to Rohtak.
Call the commissioner of Rohtak.
Ameen's tower location shows that he is here right now.
Hey, listen.
Yeah.
Is there an old building, godown or warehouse nearby?
Yes, there is a bungalow that always remains closed.
There's a warehouse behind it from where we move goods.
-Where? -Go straight then left.
-Okay, Sir. -Hey, wait! Hold him.
Come on.
Go straight and take the first left.
Check everywhere.
Check it.
Padma.
Check them.
Ravi!
Look at the car outside. We are late. Go and catch them.
Be careful.
Mom.
Aasma.
Hi, Sir. Did you find anything?
This is the list. It has Dimple Qureshi's name on it.
She was sold in 2021.
She came back to India as well. She was sold here repeatedly.
The amount kept declining.
At last, she was sold for just Rs. 60.
Just Rs. 60?
The address is nearby. It's in Bhuragaon.
It's been three years, sir.
Will she be found or not?
Please control yourself.
What is it?
Check all the places. Check everywhere.
Dimple.
Sir, Ameen has left in a truck on the Lucknow highway.
We tracking him on the check-point.
His mobile is off.
We are trying to cut in from the front.
-Keep an eye on him. I am coming there. -Yes, Sir.
Come on. Let's go.
Don't be scared. We are the police.
I knew it.
Mom would surely come to save me.
-Where is Mom? -Mom…
Padma.
Pasha aka Ameen Shaikh.
Tell us. How many girls did Fatima sell?
Say it!
How many girls did Fatima sell?
-Fatima who? -Who do you think?
Do you think that just like last time, you'll act naive and we will believe you?
Say it. Tell us how many girls Fatima sold.
Tell us!
You are thick-skinned, right?
We will unravel everything. No problem.
We know how to unravel things. Keep him here.
-Keep lying down. -I am fine, sir.
I promised my mom
that I would return.
I… I couldn't fulfil my promise.
I, too, just like my dad,
left her alone.
-Did Kishwar get you married? -No.
She didn't even know about it.
Fatima madam
married me off forcefully.
Teacher. Teacher.
They are… They are saying that I am going to get married.
I don't want to get married.
-Where is Mom? I want to talk to her. -Aasma.
I will tell you about it. Have a seat.
She is not here. She will meet you after the wedding.
Don't worry about it.
The guy is really nice. He lives in Egypt.
He has also gotten you admission to a school over there.
Do you know?
The school over there has a big college where they train you to become a pilot.
Where is Mom?
I want to talk to Mom.
Can I make one phone call to Mom?
Hey, Aasma. Why don't you understand?
The guy's family has taken your mom to Egypt.
She has prepared everything for you to live there comfortably.
Aasma, I am doing everything for your future.
Go now. Prepare for it nicely.
They took me to Egypt.
They made me be with a lot of men.
After divorcing me,
they sent me back to India.
At the airport,
Pasha Khan received me
and he took me to all kinds of places.
Sir, at one place,
there was another girl.
Taashi.
Did you find her?
I knew that she…
She said that she would escape.
She ran away as well.
Since then…
Since then, I had hoped that she would come to save me.
I told her to meet my mom.
Maybe that's why you came very late to get us.
Mom is no more.
And she…
And wherever she might be, Mom won't be there.
She won't have found Mom.
Don't cry.
Everything will be fine.
It will be fine.
ACP sir, I heard that you found Aasma.
You should give her back to us.
We will keep her nicely.
Pasha Khan AKA Ameen Shaikh is in our custody.
What are you thinking about?
Is it whether Pasha Khan gave us your name or not?
You are right. But we haven't come just for that.
We have all kinds of proof against you.
All the emails sent from Pasha's email ID.
Along with Aasma, the 40 girls that we have rescued,
we have all of their statements.
ACP, sir.
It won't be so easy to keep Fatima Shaikh in jail.
We'll be able to keep Wahida Khan in jail, right?
The one who absconded from Tamil Nadu jail,
Wahida Khan AKA Fatima Shaikh.
Fatima was your victim.
Padma. Drag her out of here.
Let me go. I told you to let me go.
ACP… ACP, sir! Let me go.
Check everything properly.
The awareness of a social worker helped expose a major scam.
We rescued more than 40 girls from many different places.
More than 20 middlemen were arrested.
Some people are still being investigated.
The grooms who married these girls and divorced them
are in different countries.
It's very difficult to bring them here because they got divorced legally.
Triple Talaq was banned in 2019.
In the earlier cases, whether it be the husband
or his family,
taking any action against them was a very difficult task.
But these brokers, middlemen, and women like Fatima
are also responsible for the physical torture and humiliation
that these girls tolerated.
The women and girls who were rescued
are safe, and they are under good care.
Dimple is getting counselling and Aasma is in a government shelter.
We would like to request that all of you, no matter how poor you are,
no matter what the condition of your house is,
just because your child is a girl,
don't treat them as a burden and don't get them married anywhere
without any verification.
Many girls get trapped by the scam of a broker like Pasha.
And many girls die by suicide like Taashi.
Taashi. She had escaped from Pasha and come back home.
After reaching her home, she committed suicide.
She feared that Pasha AKA Ameen Shaikh
and his men might take her away again.
We have put an inquiry on local police.
Many people with wrong intentions
and wrong objectives might come for your daughters.
They will come again and again.
Keeping your girls safe, protected
and thinking about their future is your responsibility.
So, you are the one who should be aware first.
All of us should try to ensure
that no girl falls prey to such a scam
and the police are not needed.
So, I request that you take care of yourself,
and especially, take utmost care of your daughters.
Jai Hind. ally, take utmost care of your daughters.
