Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) Movie Script

Kajal? Kajal!
Kajal!
What is this, Kajal?
You haven't finished yet?
- Bade Sahab hasn't come yet!
- So you call him!
Can't you hear how noisy they are?
There are too many today.
Jai Hind, sir.
Where were you, sir?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Okay, listen. They have approached
the higher-ups. They called DGP Verma.
He is Mr. Bansal
from Prabhat Manthan, right?
Yes, that's him.
But what's happening inside is very weird.
What do you mean?
Hey. You can come inside
and see for yourself.
Come along.
Inspector Yadav.
He's Mr. Sethi. This family's PA.
Rajat Sethi.
Please come.
Actually, I am with the company's CFO,
Meera ma'am.
She is the granddaughter of Mr. Mahinder.
In fact, Mr. Mahinder
is not in a condition to talk right now.
But as soon as the prayer ends,
his elder son, Mr. Prashant,
will meet you.
All that is fine, Mr. Sethi,
but what happened here?
The prayer had ended.
Uncle, Papa will feel good
if you could come in person.
And elder Uncle will also be consoled.
One second. Will you talk?
Yeah, Sameer.
Listen, Jatil is a very capable officer.
That's okay, if you say so.
Don't worry. He'll handle it well.
I am sure.
- But you are coming, right? Okay.
- Yes, yes, yes.
Are you Inspector Jatin Yadav?
Jatil. "L." Jatil Yadav.
I am Prashant Bansal.
I was just talking
to your DGP, Sameer Verma.
He was singing your praises.
Thank you, sir.
The team is here since morning.
They have no information.
What is the complaint?
Look.
Tomorrow is the death anniversary
of my daughter Meera's son.
That is why we are all here.
But
Today, unfortunately,
this event happened and
- Madhav.
- Sure.
Always so loud.
Rihan, how many time I have told you
- Headphones.
- I can't.
- What do you mean, you can't?
- I get a headache.
Headphones or mute it.
They have headaches at that age.
Do you have kids?
He is not married.
I mean, till now.
My wife is expecting.
- This was Geeta Ma.
- Yes.
Guru Ma is the master of our clan.
It is my nephew's death anniversary
tomorrow, so the prayer was held here.
These are the rituals for the same.
Purification and all.
Please come this way.
She is Kajal. She lives with Meera didi.
And she is her mother.
The way to the backyard is this way.
Guru Ma thinks that this house
is under an evil spell.
This morning, when Meera came downstairs
She was the first to witness
whatever happened here.
Elder Uncle gives offerings
to the crows every morning.
But, today, before he came here,
everything had already happened.
Did someone follow him?
Sir, I took out the ladder
from the tool set and climbed the wall.
But I did not see anyone.
They had already fled.
- What is your name?
- Sir, I am Om Prakash.
Umesh Yadav.
Were you not on security duty
when these guys infiltrated?
Sir, we are on night duty.
Sir, it was completely quiet.
It is very foggy
in the morning these days.
I am not asking for a weather update.
Tell me straightaway, you were focused
on your mobile phone, not on the CCTV.
You guys are setting an example
of soldiering on the job.
- Nandu.
- Yes.
Over there, that's Mall Road, right?
Yes, absolutely, it is Mall Road.
There are two CCTVs over there.
Get me the details.
Water sample down there and evidence.
Take them.
There is something weird
about these people.
- Aarav.
- No. Leave me. Let me fucking go.
Papa, just wait for a second.
Aarav, stop it.
Aarav, stop it! Stop it!
Aarav.
- Leave me.
- Aarav. Aarav.
Aarav!
You're fucking with me!
One second Aarav!
Aarav!
No! You're all bloody liars!
No! You're all bloody liars!
Inspector.
Inspector!
Leave him.
Leave him.
He will not do anything.
Aarav.
If you want to leave,
no one will stop you.
Meera, we are handling it. Please.
We are all handling this, Chachaji.
You are no different than us.
I'll say this again, Aarav.
You want to stay, you want to go.
The decision is yours.
Good.
Remember,
there is no freedom without pain.
What has happened to him?
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Take it easy, okay.
Whose room is this?
- Take it easy.
- Aarav is kept here.
Separately.
Separately?
Sir, the thing is, he is an addict.
So, elder Uncle has been keeping him
locked like this for months.
Always.
Sir, DGP sir is arriving.
DGP sir is arriving. Should we leave?
Did you find out something?
This disgusting behavior has
happened in my home, at my doorstep.
Because of these idiots!
Mahinder ji, please calm down.
It's gonna be all right.
We'll give you full security.
No one will be able to enter.
- I promise you that.
- You will give security?
To me? You'll give security
to Mahinder Bansal?
They aren't even able to find a pet dog,
and they will find these people?
- I'm really sorry, Sameer.
- It's okay.
If you have guts, find the real culprit.
That bastard!
If he wants to take over my company,
he should talk to me directly.
Why is he backstabbing me?
He's a coward, a dog!
Mahinder!
If you become so agitated,
then each and every one of your enemies
will win without having to fight you.
The odds are not good.
What I can see
will definitely happen.
And no one will be able to stop that.
No one can stop it.
What is going on here?
The pig's head is on the newspaper.
So, it probably points
to their paper business.
These boys came from there.
Yes, sir. Sir
Mahinder ji was speaking
about someone in there.
Is it someone from the family?
Rajesh Chand Bansal.
Have you heard of Newrise TV?
He is the owner.
Mahinder ji's elder brother's son.
There's a war on
for Prabhat Group's assets.
On one side is their newspaper,
Prabhat Manthan,
on the other side is his TV channel,
Newrise.
Rajesh is a very ruthless man.
But he is my friend.
That's why I've been made an intermediary.
So, sir I mean, you'll be
personally involved in this matter?
I'll have to.
It's a family matter, Jatil.
We'll have to handle it very discreetly.
- Yes?
- Yes, sir.
Do you know that cancer specialists have
given this medicine the status of nectar?
A product originating from India
Has a fire or a war broken out?
Then why is she shouting like this?
The simple-looking bottle gourd...
You gossip around the colony,
keep up with the news as well.
I am not a mad person to listen to them
barking the whole day.
I get relevant news from the Internet.
Hari Shankar ji came.
He put this in my hand
and asked me to give it to you.
Are you warming food?
I am getting acidity.
I got up to get the medicine.
What is this, Jattu?
I have to warm your food,
wait for you at night,
and I feel the cold in my bones.
And you don't have the manners
to talk about marriage with your mother?
You've got the horoscope made.
Now, get married as well.
If possible, send me the invitation.
Yes, I got my horoscope made.
What else could I do?
What did I get by depending on you?
Have you introduced her to me?
Have you spoken frankly to her?
She has just got her freedom.
She won't be tied down so fast, Son.
Patience. You have to be patient.
Otherwise, she, too, will slip away.
Then, you'll be left hanging.
For God's sake!
Stop interfering in my future!
Mind your tongue!
You're talking to your mother!
I am old enough to decide
what's good or bad for me.
Don't wait up for me!
Okay.
By the way, your qualities do not match.
So, sit and think about it.
You are being too conservative!
Be forward. Forward!
This simple-looking bottle gourd
can actually cleanse your blood,
brain and the intestines.
One bottle gourd solves all problems.
See this, sir,
this is the footage of Mall Road CCTV.
These two boys are seen
running from the blue car.
See this!
Mishra ji's news is confirmed, right?
Mishra ji is an old hand.
The news is confirmed.
Hello. Yes, Mishra ji?
We'll reach you in two minutes.
Just taking the left turn.
- So, Mishra ji?
- Jai Hind, sir.
It's the same boy, sir.
The one with long hair.
He knows them both.
Hey, boy!
Come here.
Come on, Mishra ji!
At least speak with respect in public...
- The information is confirmed?
- A hundred percent, sir.
Oh, no. They've spoiled the whole glass.
There is a crematorium back there.
So, there are crows and eagles here.
How do people live here?
It looks like an illegal slum.
Well, it's a slum, sir.
So, it will be illegal.
Come, sir.
Be careful.
Come, sir.
Call them.
Brother Lakhan! Brother Lakhan!
Why are you shouting?
Come outside. I've come to meet you.
- Brother!
- Stop creating a ruckus so early.
- They've come to meet you.
- Who has come?
Will you run?
- Hey!
- Bastard!
Stop, you rascal!
Hey, man.
Move aside. Go!
Stop, rascal!
- Hey, stop, stop. Put it down.
- I'll hit you.
Put it down.
I will also hit.
I am telling you, you should run.
Else I will hit you.
Then come on. Hit me.
I have the pistol. I will shoot you.
I will shoot you.
Should I shoot?
Mr. Mishra, what is this?
Sir, he
He has the pistol.
Then make the shooting sounds
from your mouth.
Hey.
Hey, stop!
- Sorry.
- What are you doing? Watch it.
- Sorry.
- Give it to me.
Did you see a man running from here?
Hey, stop!
Rascal!
Hey!
Stop running!
You bastard.
Stop. You!
Where did he go?
Come.
Come, son. Your wish is granted.
No!
I did not do anything!
Then did I do it?
Sir, I want to talk to him.
Please understand. Stay outside.
Let me talk to him.
Sir, you can't keep him in custody
without any evidence.
I am a lawyer. I also know the law.
I'll make you all pay
for this beating you are giving him.
- I am telling you.
- Newrise Media.
The two boys who have been caught,
they were working in your company.
This is not new.
Sometimes they say that I cut the tires
of their car or rig their brakes.
Or I have thrown a dead cat
in their house.
They are all fucking mad.
They are all blind devotees of that woman.
The Kulguru, mata ji.
What's that bloody name?
Rajesh, calm down. Calm down.
I am here just to tell you
what is happening outside.
Come on, Sameer. Please.
These are their tricks to stop the deal.
They want to gain sympathy
before the board meeting.
I met them, Rajesh.
Mr. Mahinder is very disturbed.
- The whole family is in shock.
- Really?
The guard missed everything.
And Meera very conveniently
discovered everything.
Do you have pictures of the crime scene?
Crime scene? Come on, Sameer.
You should see it once.
Fuck!
Who told you that Meera
was the one to inform us first?
Did you talk to anyone in the family?
Yadav, let it be.
No, no. You are the one who brought him,
Sameer. You didn't come alone.
Listen to me, Inspector.
Take this investigation to their house.
The culprit is there. In that house.
Look inside the house. Inside.
We had installed motion sensors
in this entire perimeter.
But they have been triggered repeatedly,
so we removed them last year.
That camera over the tool shed?
This is now deactivated.
This is a blind spot for the guards.
That camera was used to peep
into the room, so
The family had privacy issues.
The family?
Meera ji.
But we can activate this remotely.
You should do that.
Guards will be on their toes.
I can do that,
but guards will not get the feed.
The system needs to be updated.
Meera ji has called you
after the death anniversary.
Open this.
Sir, they are here since this morning
without any crime.
What is this, sir?
I am talking to you, sir.
They were caught surveilling on the CCTV.
Then they committed the crime
and fled in the evening.
- Tell them to confess everything
- Sir.
or they won't be able to go to court.
Sir, there was one man.
He brought the stuff.
I've only talked to him once.
Then I received the address in
a message and money wrapped in newspaper.
I've never seen him, sir.
He just said to put the pig head
on the newspaper.
We threw that bloodstained packet
and ran away.
- What were you doing there?
- We...
Did you feed anything wrong to the birds?
No, sir.
Sir, look.
When I threw that polythene bag,
some crows flew away,
but the rest of them were there.
You are a lawyer, right?
Get ready.
It's a long way from court to jail.
Move aside.
What do you think?
Someone must be behind this.
It's true that they were in and out
in a few minutes.
Did you find the number
they received the call from?
That was
It's registered to a corporate company.
- PMPL.
- What?
PMPL. Here, see this.
Okay.
Prabhat Manthan Private Limited.
This sim card belongs
to the Bansal family's own company.
PRABHAT MANTHAN
Do one thing:
Call the security at the farmhouse
and tell them to report to the station
every hour.
Something is not right.
Umesh.
Om Prakash.
Om Prakash.
Umesh. Umesh.
Om Prakash.
Om Prakash.
Meera ji.
What happened, Meera ji?
Everything disappeared.
What do you mean?
Everybody is gone.
Everyone.
It's over.
That house
What happened in the house?
Everyone has been killed.
- Please come inside.
- They're all dead.
- No one is alive.
- Please sit.
I will see.
I will see. Please come here.
Please sit here.
Please sit here.
Umesh. Umesh.
Umesh. Umesh.
Lock the door from inside.
Stay with ma'am. Take care of her.
Enforcement will soon arrive.
I'll go and check.
Who's there? Meera di.
Where is Meera di? What's going on?
She's fine.
Is there anyone inside with you?
Me and Rihan. But did anything happen?
Please be patient. Lock this door.
I will check.
- But
- Lock the door.
Om Prakash.
Om Prakash. What happened?
Om Prakash.
Lady.
Nandu, call the headquarters and ask them
to send a team here, urgently.
Sure. But what is the matter?
What?
Prashant Bansal
I received a call.
Everything's okay over there?
A massacre has happened here.
- A massacre.
- What?
Send a forensic team now.
Sir. Sir!
Sir, DGP sir is here.
Jai Hind, sir.
Did Meera Bansal say anything?
She heard some disturbance and came out.
When she saw the bloodshed, she locked
Aastha and Rihan in the room downstairs
and then ran out to call the security.
How did all this happen?
Yesterday he received a threat,
and tonight, it's all over!
In 24 hours.
So much happened right under
your nose, and you couldn't do anything.
SP Chauhan has taken charge.
You will have to cooperate
with forensics, et cetera.
Brace yourself.
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
This circus will last longer.
This is not good.
Not at all.
This SP Chauhan
They should have thought about it first.
My team will take you inside. No problem.
- Please come, let's go.
- No.
The officer who saw the crime scene first,
I want him here.
- What?
- Yes.
Sir, Chauhan sir is calling you.
The forensic team from Lucknow is here.
Madam, he is Inspector Yadav.
Doctor. Dr. Panicker.
Not Madam. Not Rosie Madam. Dr. Panicker.
Yes.
You.
Come.
The first one hour
of investigation is the most critical.
- You all know that.
- Yes, ma'am.
But these cops roam around like cattle.
So you'll find the field
totally contaminated
Touching here and there,
moving everything. So I...
We know
how to keep the crime scene intact.
We did not even allow the family
to go inside.
Not inside,
but allowing them to go outside. Why?
Sorry, you can't go.
We have been sitting here
for the past two hours.
What nonsense is going on here?
Is this all necessary at this time?
Look at the condition of the kids here.
- I know. Dr. Panicker...
- Sorry, sir.
It's my duty to collect evidence.
They all have blood
on their clothes and skin.
And that's evidence.
- Please.
- Of course, yeah.
Lata, collect the evidence.
Sir.
Dry it and pack it.
New revelations
in the Bansal family massacre.
If we are to believe Meera Bansal's
testimony, then it was Aarav Bansal
who killed his father Vivek Bansal,
mother Seema Bansal,
grandfather Mahinder Bansal,
uncle Prashant Bansal
- and brother Madhav Bansal.
- Have coffee. Why are you stuck on tea?
And then he committed suicide.
Police is investigating the reason
as to why he committed these murders
and why he spared Meera Bansal,
Aastha Bansal and Rihan Bansal.
- Are you done? Should I take these away?
- Why not? Make me stop eating.
You are the one throwing the spoon.
Why are you shouting at me?
Am I the one speaking from the TV?
Mom, I am telling you.
I will stand up without eating anything.
Come in, Munni. Come in.
Her ears are glued to the door.
What will she think of you?
- Greetings.
- You?
Is she the one? The astrology one?
She looks good.
Come inside. Don't stand outside.
Come inside.
My phone... I mean, charger.
No, the battery.
- I was about to call you yesterday.
- Yes.
I thought that you must be busy.
I have prepared hot poha.
Come, have breakfast.
Don't force her.
She is not here for breakfast.
You can at least have coffee.
I will get some coffee.
The thing is, I could not call you.
I was so busy that
No, listen, I saw that on TV.
I was nervous. What a horrible case!
Why are you so tense?
Anyway, you are much busier than I am.
- Studies. College.
- Again, the same thing.
Should I quit college and studies?
- Would you quit if I say so?
- Would you tell me to quit?
Not at all.
I want you to do whatever makes you happy,
and do it with conviction.
Here, coffee.
Come, have some.
You should leave.
You must be getting late.
Come. I'll drop you off.
No, I am already late for the class,
so I thought I should have breakfast.
Very good.
Come.
Come, sit.
Time Must be around 10:00.
Or maybe 10:30.
I don't remember exactly.
Easy.
I was in my bathroom
when I heard something.
I thought that
someone was trying to open the door
to my bedroom.
I thought I must have imagined it.
I meditate before going to sleep.
I pray.
Then?
Then
I heard some noises.
Like someone's shouting.
This time, I was sure I heard it clearly.
And then, as soon as I came out, I saw
Uncle.
Uncle.
Uncle. Uncle!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
Aarav!
Aarav! Aarav!
Get up.
Please wake up!
No! No, no!
Aarav, no! No, please, Aarav, no!
Aarav, please!
Brother, come.
What happened? Listen to me! Aarav, no!
No!
No! No!
Meera di,
what's going on? What's going on?
- Where's Rihan?
- The TV room. Is that blood? Meera di
What has happened?
What's going on? Meera di!
What's What's going on?
- I need to get my I need to get my phone
- No, no, no!
- It's not safe out there.
- But Mummy-Papa are upstairs, Meera di.
It's not safe outside.
I I'll go get the guard.
You stay here with Rihan.
Please. I'm coming back.
I'll be back.
It was Aarav.
It was Aarav.
He killed them. He killed them all.
All of them have been hacked
and bludgeoned with a long blade.
The type of wounds suggests
that the murderer was probably in a rage.
They haven't been cut
with a lot of precision.
As you can see, in some places,
the entire skull has been cut.
Brute force has been used.
The next body is Aarav.
We found his body in the swimming pool.
He fell from above and his
Skull was fractured. Death on impact.
We found this machete near his body.
Dr. Panicker, we're 100% sure
that this is the murder weapon?
Yes, sir, we're sure.
This was also identified
by the house gardener, Kishor.
Let Meera also identified it once.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Panicker,
did you find Aarav's fingerprints on it?
This was submerged in water.
Even if we do find fingerprints,
they can only be partial.
Do you doubt it?
Sir, that boy was acting very violently
with the family that day too,
the day we visited
the farm house for the first time.
And it seems he
Seems what?
It seems that he did drugs too.
Yes, sir, he is right.
We have found
white powder residue in his nasal passage.
- Cocaine?
- I can confirm that
only after we get the results
from the lab, but I think so.
He did drugs, was violent,
had threatened the family.
I think we can brief the press.
I think we should do it immediately.
What do you think, Jatil?
Sir, I don't think all the murders
were done in a fit of anger.
What do you mean?
We've seen the state
in which we found the bodies.
Seema ji was near her bed,
Madhav Bansal was at his table,
and his dad in his room,
and in the room next door,
Mahinder Bansal in his bed.
Not a single person tried to fight or run?
Yes, so what are you implying?
I think that drugs
were definitely involved in this massacre,
but on the whole Bansal family.
Sir, we were shown the foreshadow
of this entire massacre a day earlier.
That pig head and those birds?
Sir, what birds and what pig head?
- What are you all talking about?
- Show her.
Dr. Panicker, a day earlier these birds
were found dead in this manner.
They were probably drugged.
And this pig head
was found on top of a newspaper.
You all didn't think
it was important to share this?
- Was this sample collected?
- Definitely collected it, ma'am.
- And what was the result?
- Sir, see this.
Sir, this
- Clonazepam.
- It's given for insomnia.
It's anxiety, panic, et cetera.
It's a sedative, sir.
Interesting. Very interesting.
If this boy, Aarav, was so disturbed,
then maybe he wasn't capable
of such accurate planning, sir.
Something else has happened here.
Yeah.
Dr. Panicker, I want you
to screen the bodies for clonazepam.
Yes.
This is an extremely sad and painful case.
Mahinder Bansal ji was one of
the most senior names in journalism.
And so I expect that all of you
will understand the gravity of
the situation and report with sensitivity,
will be patient, and will let us
do our work with complete diligence.
Thank you very much.
Sir! Sir!
Look, the case is still open,
and investigation is going on.
Nothing can be confirmed right now.
Thank you.
We have heard that a Tiwari
gang member is also involved in this.
Is this a mass suicide case?
Sir, do you see
any similarities with the Burari case?
Hello.
Yes, that day Om bhaiya
did everything on time.
Sir, I really don't understand
How I fell asleep.
Okay, Bhola bhaiya, see you tomorrow.
The morning guards left at 18:00.
You and your mother.
Kajal and her mom left
around 7:00, 7:30 p.m.
The last one to leave was the gardener,
Kishor, around 8:00 p.m.
- Keep the bucket and pipe in its place.
- Yes, I'll keep it.
I eat first. Om bhaiya
finishes his rounds and then eats.
Umesh.
If I heard anything,
I was asleep by that time.
Did you see Aarav Bansal going out?
That day, or before that?
No, sir. After what happened
in front of you, he remained inside.
Hello.
What?
Mishra ji!
What is happening here?
Sir, we told you everything already.
Please save us!
Move back, you bastard!
What is this?
Sir said that these boys have not given
proper confession, so get it out of them.
- What sir?
- I am that sir.
I told him to do it.
Sir, we've already done the interrogation.
A beating will not necessarily
result in truth from a criminal.
Instead, they will say
what you want to hear.
That day, if you had not exercised
your brain so much,
then these guys, these boys would've
confessed Aarav Bansal's entire plan.
Sir, this is wrong.
This is my station's matter.
This is my district's matter too.
And your station falls under my district.
You remember that, right?
Go and write a report.
In that report,
write about their station transfer.
Meanwhile, I'll get their confession.
That night,
Madhav Bansal was working on this laptop.
- Sir.
- Password?
That is not required.
We have retrieved all the data.
This 2,000-crore transaction
to a company named I&B?
People say there are some folks
who are so stubborn,
they'd insist on arranging
their own funeral.
He's one of them.
I thought.
Inspector Yadav, do you have to
solve this case by yourself?
Leave some work
for the rest of us also, na.
Give me a printout of this, two copies.
You are the one
who found gaps in the narrative.
Otherwise, we would've
had a nice press conference by now,
media would be praising us,
and Netflix would be making a movie.
But you are Jatil, meaning complicated,
"something else has happened here."
It has happened, Nandu!
Does this Bansal fam
Does this Bansal family
seem normal to you from any angle?
No family seems normal to me these days.
And I am agreeing that
that boy massacred his clan by himself.
But you are the one
who is not ready to agree.
And listen, Rajat Sethi has also confirmed
the SIM card through which
those boys were called,
it had been issued
under Aarav Bansal's name.
Look at this.
Two phones were found
inside Aarav Bansal's room.
One was his personal number,
and one was this, with that SIM.
Something is stuck on that second phone.
That's some sticker.
"LSE, London School of Economics."
Look, it's a very big case.
Maintain some distance.
What will you get by getting so involved?
The case is progressing.
Let it progress in peace.
Right?
Hurry up and open the door.
Today you will have mutton
cooked by me and
What are you doing here?
And if I ask you the same question,
what are you doing here?
I
I thought that Radha had an exam,
and I was bored alone at home,
so I came here.
And how was I supposed to know
that you cook here as well?
I thought you are busy
there with the case.
Since when is this going on?
You don't call.
You don't pick up when I call.
Do I feel at peace without talking to you?
Since a few days ago, I've been feeling
that you have a problem with me going out,
receiving calls.
Where are you diverting this?
I am saying that
If you have something on your mind
about the past, then tell me now.
Otherwise it will be very difficult
for us to move forward.
You think I'm so narrow-minded?
Look at me.
Tell me truthfully, what's on your mind?
What is on my mind
is that I can't live without you,
that I trust you completely.
I just don't trust myself.
Jattu!
What is it?
- Come here!
- You had to call her?
Go. There must be something.
I have spent my whole life
listening to her.
What is it?
What is it now?
The insensitive manner in which
the media is talking about my family...
We are from the same fraternity,
and look at their vile, crude reporting!
Are they raising the right questions?
In fact, the boys caught
for vandalism at your house,
we just received news
that they have retracted their confession.
This raises serious questions
for the UP police.
After all, who will give us the answers?
DGP Verma, I am looking straight at you!
You can see that the people
from the settlement
have barricaded SP Kanpur's office.
The two boys who were caught
are currently in the hospital.
I want to know from Nisha ji
what is happening in this entire matter.
Tell me.
Look custodial torture
is a human rights' violation.
And that's exactly
what has happened with these boys.
One's eye was burst,
and the other is in intensive care.
The UP police is taking
law and order in their own hands.
And someone has to be answerable.
We will keep asking questions!
- SP Chauhan!
- Shame on you!
- SP Chauhan!
- Shame on you!
- SP Chauhan!
- Shame on you!
A lot of...
It was necessary, sir.
Otherwise, they both would have escaped.
- They kept changing their confession, sir.
- They were the ones changing it?
Or you were making them change it?
And as for their escaping,
they will still escape!
Instead, we are the ones answerable now.
The management.
You have made the entire case
about something else altogether.
The case was already solved, sir, but...
Do you understand public perception?
Do you?
You got the SP office barricaded.
Suspend two junior officers
from your station.
And you will give their names
to the press yourself, understood?
Yes, sir.
You may go now.
Dr. Panicker.
Inspector Yadav, victims
have tested positive for clonazepam.
This drug was ingested via stomach.
Everyone's metabolism
and quantity of food is different,
so the impact of the drug
is also different on everybody.
But this does not contain Meera,
Aastha and Om Prakash's names.
The medicine was in a dessert,
in the kheer.
Aastha is lactose intolerant,
Om Prakash was yet to have his food
And Meera,
she did not eat her dessert, simple.
Sir, there are
three people who did not eat this dessert.
Om Prakash is in the hospital.
We have already spoken with Meera.
That leaves Aastha.
I think we should talk to her once.
Of course, we'll talk to her,
but she's very traumatized at the moment.
- So be gentle with her.
- Yes, sir.
He was an addict.
He used to get withdrawal symptoms.
So bade papa asked us to keep him locked
inside a room at the farmhouse
And we all let it happen to him.
He was going mad. Desperate to get out.
You saw it, right?
But he was very vulnerable.
He Why would he plan to murder everyone?
He was completely fine. Normal.
We were playing video games.
That's how I saw him last.
That night Om Prakash also came inside?
Om bhaiya?
- What happened?
- The back door was open.
That happened sometimes.
He said he had to check all doors
and windows again.
I saw him inform Umesh
on the wireless also.
- And then?
- Then he left.
As soon as he left, Aarav also left.
Rihan was fast asleep.
So I started playing again, when
I heard something outside.
Brother?
Brother?
Aarav, no!
Brother!
Om Bhaiya? What is it?
Brother?
Meera di? What's going on?
What What's going on?
- Where's Rihan?
- In the TV room.
Is that blood? Meera di
- What the hell happened?
- Come with me!
Oh, my God, Meera di
What's What's going on?
Prabhat Group is your family heritage.
Which maybe Rajesh Bansal wants to usurp.
Because the two guys who were caught,
they also work for his company.
Still you are here?
Prabhat Manthan is over.
After Arjun's death,
Meera di took out a loan
on all the company assets
and finished the company itself.
I have doubts about
her emotional and mental condition.
She's very unreliable.
Me and my family
were in no danger from Rajesh uncle.
Then Then who were they in danger from?
Aastha, this case can be closed
on your cousin
Meera Bansal's testimony today.
But we did not do that.
Do you know why?
Because we also want to know the truth.
Geeta Vohra.
The one who calls herself Guru Ma.
She's no spiritual sage.
She's fake. A fake. Power hungry.
She's behind all this.
At Meera di's behest,
she used to be closeted
inside a room with Aarav for hours.
She must have used the phone SIM
in my brother's name.
I'm telling you, she planned this.
She massacred my family!
Family is not just
the addition of few relations.
What we call a family
is something that carries the burden of
the sins and virtuous deeds of ancestors.
What exactly happened in the Bansal
family, that karma hit them alone?
To get so much more than what is required.
What can be more unfortunate than that?
The kheer
sent out of this house as prasad...
Who used to make it? Who transported it?
It's made every Saturday,
in the kitchen of this very house.
Some people eat it as kheer,
and some eat it as prasad.
There was a sedative mixed in your prasad.
After eating that, a lot of people
were liberated in their sleep.
I didn't mix it.
And anyway, I have no interest
in this Western psychology.
Does that mean that we should consider
your pupil's testimony as the truth?
That Aarav was responsible
for the massacre?
To believe in what is evident
is not failure on your part.
Truth is what is in front of you.
You've been talking in riddles
for an hour.
If you think I'll leave after listening
to your sermons, then you're wrong.
Please keep in mind
I'll find the truth somehow.
Whenever someone comes to me
in the search of truth
with such restless thoughts,
I understand then and there
that there is a lie in their own life,
which is hurting them.
You are struggling with loneliness,
anxiety,
fear.
When you think about that night,
you feel helpless.
Your chest feels heavy
with the weight of dead bodies.
You are unable to sleep at night.
You hear screams.
That day you were not here
for your son's death anniversary.
My practice is in London.
I'm a pediatric oncologist.
What was wrong with your son?
He developed a pulmonary condition.
Meera brought him to London, but by
the time she got there, it was too late.
What are your thoughts
About what happened here?
What can I say? It was horrific.
Meera's dad and bade papa
used to treat Aarav like an animal.
If they hadn't done that,
then this wouldn't have happened.
They are all responsible in some ways.
His parents didn't say anything to them?
Vivek Bansal?
If Vivek uncle had rebelled,
then like me, he would've been
exiled from this family too.
A small unit can function
separately and independently.
But legacy Legacy is like a prison.
Excuse me.
Yes, what is it? Clonazepam.
Clo-na-ze-pam.
No, not the brand, it's generic.
Please send it quickly. Thank you.
That medicine is for you?
I buy it for Meera.
After Arjun's death
she had anxiety, insomnia.
She's been taking this medicine
for a long time?
It is necessary.
You have no idea what
the death of a child does to a parent.
This is not the same Meera I used to know.
By the way, when did this
Guru Ma business start in the house?
Mahinder ji had been a devotee
for many years.
And after Meera didi's child's death,
all this increased a little too much.
Saffron clothes, plain food.
Fasting, prayer gatherings for hours,
ritual havans, and God knows what else.
- Nandu.
- Yes?
Sit outside. We'll talk later, okay?
Get Arjun Bansal's medical file.
Okay.
Disha ji, this is St. Michael School
in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.
Arjun Bansal was enrolled there.
The first murder was Mahinder Bansal.
Fully bloody.
Skull was completely fractured.
He was bludgeoned to death.
His head was repeatedly
struck with the machete.
Now, how can we say
he was the first victim?
Because we found
freshly cut grass particles
from the machete
on Mahinder Bansal's skin.
This happened
at approximately 10:00 p.m. Next?
Prashant Bansal's death
happened in this armchair.
He must have fallen asleep.
That's why there was no struggle.
He too got repeatedly hit
on the head with the machete.
And the throat was slit.
We found both Mahinder
and Prashant Bansal's blood here.
All the way up the stairs.
So, we found a lot of footprints here.
There was contamination
from Inspector Yadav too.
It's very difficult
to do this kind of work.
I can understand.
You should be this careful, at least.
Come.
Meera Bansal's room. Untouched.
But we found blood particles
on the door handle.
So the murderer must have
tried to enter, but the door was locked.
This is Madhav Bansal's room.
And fingerprints?
We found servants',
family's, everyone's fingerprints.
Before the murder
or after the murder, we do not know.
Please come.
Madhav Bansal put up
the least amount of struggle.
Most likely the victim
was already unconscious.
Lacerations suggest that
the murderer sliced his neck repeatedly.
Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.
Efficiently and brutally.
The last time of activity
on his laptop was
- You dead?
- No, 10:15.
At 10:15.
The murder happened after that.
Next.
And now, we have our most bloody scene.
Seema Bansal was not asleep.
She must have woken up mid-attack.
Very sad.
While struggling, she fell from the bed.
The murderer tried to drag her.
She grabbed the bed stump.
Her husband must've come out
from that bathroom behind.
We found his... I mean,
Vivek Bansal's blood spatter here.
He must have tried to save his wife.
And the murderer attacked him,
straight to his neck!
Vivek Bansal came out here.
We found his blood here, lots of bleeding.
The way it is in Meera Bansal's statement.
He came and fell here.
After this the entire floor
was a bloody mess.
Thank you.
From there, the murderer came here.
Bloody fingerprints on Aastha
and Rihan's bedroom door.
Meera came from her bedroom. Lata, run!
She saw Aarav
And he charges! Lata, scream!
Help! Help!
Om Prakash came running
from there. We found his blood here
On the wall, and on Meera.
He came to protect Meera. Lata, go.
Yes, like that. Good.
Then Aarav struggles with him
till the end.
Then he must have
kicked him or pushed him so hard
That Aarav falls
on the window with a lot of force
And down he goes.
And those pillowcases?
Sir, sometimes in black magic,
some people sacrifice with the shroud.
This is all TV news nonsense,
Mr. Chauhan. Please.
What was the modus operandi?
Drugged the family,
covered their faces, then killed them.
Because emotion.
It is difficult to cut
your own family, you know.
At least for some people.
Dr. Panicker,
are you sure that the murder weapon
is that machete
that the gardener kept in his tool shed?
Yes, that was the weapon used.
Then how did it come up from the tool shed?
The murderer brought it, Inspector Yadav.
Isn't it obvious?
If your CCTV
atop the tool shed was working
Then you would have the proof.
Camera was active, Dr. Panicker.
We didn't find the footage
in the security booth,
but it kept uploading
to the company's server.
We got it last night.
A little before the massacre,
only two people can be seen
going towards the tool shed.
One was Om Prakash, who was on
routine rounds, and second was this,
Meera Bansal. Look.
When she is going towards the tool shed,
both her hands are outside the shawl.
Look at her body language.
Nervous energy. It's very clear that
she is hiding from her family members.
Then for full five minutes,
Meera ji is in a blind spot,
and when she comes back, the shawl
is completely wrapped around her.
Hands are covered inside the shawl.
Maybe she is hiding something.
Rubbish.
Aarav's body fell after Meera
and Aastha went inside the room.
How did that happen?
Aarav saw Meera attacking his parents,
he fought her, attacked Meera ji.
Hearing Meera ji scream,
Om Prakash intervened.
After that, everything happened
exactly the way you said it did.
Aastha also saw Om Prakash going up.
Really? Then why did Meera
spare Aastha and Rihan's lives?
If she was the sole survivor,
then all suspicion would fall on her.
From the start, she wanted to portray
that the threat was coming from outside.
Maybe from Rajesh Bansal.
And that phone call?
That must have been made by Aarav?
That SIM card was in his name.
That is correct.
But we don't know who actually used it.
We don't know who gave him drugs
that night, but we do know this:
That the drug found
in the victims' blood clonazepam?
Yes.
That was only used by Meera Bansal.
What could have been the reason
that Meera Bansal did this?
What could've been her motive?
Sir, the night of the murders,
Madhav Bansal was working on a laptop.
He was studying his company's
financial report. Look at his.
In the last year after her son's death,
the properties purchased by
Meera Bansal in her Guru mata's name,
they total to
at least around 2,000 crores.
Through shell companies.
This I&B company pops up again and again.
Okay.
According to Aastha Bansal,
her father was going to leave
Prabhat Manthan in the next board meeting.
So, before that, the guru and pupil
formulated a plan together
and killed everyone.
This case is not as simple as it looks.
On one hand, we have Aarav, a drug addict.
And the public is already
convinced he is the murderer.
On the other hand, Meera Bansal.
A mother who has already
lost everything, and now
Dr. Panicker,
I want you to reanalyze everything.
Only this time keeping Meera Bansal
as the prime suspect.
Please.
And Yadav, this motive is not solid.
Get me more.
What could've happened
that Meera Bansal
was driven to kill her entire family?
Sir.
PRABHAT MANTHAN
50 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
These are the slippers I was wearing
that night. Why do you want them?
There was a doubt
about your last testimony.
You didn't tell us that you had gone
out of the house that night.
The tool shed camera was active that night.
So you know that I went out.
Yes, but why did you go out?
I don't know. For fresh air?
- But if you...
- I smoke.
I'm trying to quit but I felt like it.
Anything else?
I have a few more questions,
if you don't mind.
Aarav wanted to leave the farmhouse.
Was it right to keep Aarav
locked up there like that?
Meth. Cocaine. Fentanyl.
He had been to rehab three times.
And last time, he slipped into a coma.
Since Guru Ma started meditating with him
He changed so much.
- He was getting better.
- Better, how?
Meera ji, he killed his entire family.
A guru's job is to show the way.
To follow or not to follow
is the pupil's job.
What way did you show him?
Therapy? Medication? Counseling?
Therapy.
But that boy,
what did he learn in therapy?
That he deserved better?
It's a lie.
This generation,
they only want pleasure, no pain.
But life is suffering. Life is pain.
Those who are living,
they will suffer loss and pain.
Those who are gone
They are free.
Aarav is free now.
And he
He freed them all.
He freed them all.
Earlier, Prabhat Manthan
was just a newspaper.
Today, it's a brand.
Meera ji accomplished this.
In the middle of an article
on farmers' suicide,
she put a small photo of a Bollywood
superstar, drinking soda.
It sold a lot of copies.
Then she made the same story smaller,
and made the star bigger.
More copies sold.
Then finally what remained
was the Bollywood superstar,
drinking soda.
Removed the news.
You should know how to sell a story.
And Meera ji is the Picasso of this art.
Mahinder ji and sons were happy.
But after Meera ji's personal tragedy,
everything unraveled.
Unraveled to an extent where she started
to embezzle money from her own company.
What?
On the night of the murder, Madhav Bansal
was reviewing financial statements
of his company on his laptop.
Crores of funds were diverted
to a company called I&B.
This company is registered in Pune.
The office address does not match.
Nominees and shareholders,
everybody is from the Bansal family.
It's a shell company, you also know it.
And this company is buying
thousands of acres of properties,
on which your Guru mata's ashrams,
hotels, and resorts are being developed.
That is why Vivek Bansal
was moving out, right?
It was mata ji's blessing that lush
ashrams could sprout on barren land.
Wherever she cursed,
established settlements got razed.
Now, what can be said about Vivek ji?
As elders say,
"An inside threat can bring
the whole house down."
What did he achieve?
The son killed his own parents.
How did Meera ji's son die?
He was a sickly child.
Meera madam's husband, Dr. Khanna...
They are separated these days...
Is a big specialist doctor in London.
So the kid was treated there as well.
But the kid died there, sir.
- So?
- What do you think?
Oh, you want my expert opinion?
Dr. Panicker...
This child contracted
streptococcus pneumonia.
It's fatal in 10% of people.
His pediatrician has written
that he had a history of ear infections.
That increases the chances
of contracting this pneumonia.
I've already googled that.
I had a doubt that...
I'm busy. Please.
I'm leaving this here.
If you find time, just take a look once...
Time? Because of you, I have to do
the entire analysis again today.
My team is overworked.
And you bring something new every day.
- See, the point is...
- No! What's the new theory today?
No. Let me take a wild guess.
Bansal family sacrificed their grandson.
And in retaliation,
his mother killed the entire family.
Any more nonsense
that I have to listen to?
The entire case was ready.
But no, you want to earn fame,
impress your boss. I've had enough.
Dr. Panicker, you are right.
If I had also kept quiet and just watched,
I would be sleeping peacefully.
But the problem is that I can't sleep
without doing my work properly.
Maybe you can.
I've earned fear, not respect.
People run from me outside,
and inside I've become a joke.
I don't know what I'm looking for.
Even if I find it, who cares for truth?
What are you talking about?
This is what drew me to you.
You fought everyone for truth.
For me.
This is what you like about me?
Will this be enough
to spend your whole life with me?
You don't know how many liars
and frauds I've seen in my life.
All I want is a true partner.
You have not been able
to understand this small thing.
No, I've not been able to understand.
That is why I've not been able
to tell you for so many days.
All I keep thinking about
is whether or not you'll stay with me.
I'm anxious all the time.
Why will I not stay?
You needed to give one hint.
As it is, I know
The outside world is very bad.
You will not be able to navigate it alone.
You will pick up
all the bad habits from me.
For better or for worse. I'll take on
your bad habits too. Give it to me.
No. I said I'll quit.
Then quit.
There, I've quit.
Here.
Milk, sugar?
Try it.
You look very cheerful, Inspector Yadav.
I read this file. What was your doubt?
The kind of infection Arjun Bansal
was said to have,
how soon can it become fatal?
It depends on his immune system,
what medication was he on,
what precautions were taken,
there are a lot of factors.
Can it happen in one week?
The reports I read state that the kid
was not well for 15 to 20 days,
and his blood reports show
a steadily growing infection
So, no, not one week.
Look at this.
This is a certificate
from the kid's school.
He was a swimmer,
about to take part in a championship.
This is the fitness report.
Look.
How long can he hold his breath
underwater?
There's lot of information in this.
Everything else is marked normal.
Look at this.
This post When is this dated?
This thing on his face
Nebulizer. It is used
when there's difficulty in breathing.
His lungs were already affected.
I've seen this before somewhere.
The settlement
where those boys were caught,
the kids there
were wearing something similar.
This post by Meera Bansal
is dated 28 January.
And the kid died on 31 January.
What's the date
on that fitness certificate?
January 24.
I mean, not even a week
from first symptoms.
Chills, fever, vomiting.
Then he would've contracted pneumonia,
then organ failure would have set in,
and then death.
How can it be possible so soon?
No, no, no.
Then these hospital reports are all fake.
The family is hiding something.
DGP Verma is at a very high post.
He wouldn't have reached it easily.
Don't take this to him right now.
First complete your investigation
and collect all the information.
Why hide this?
So you have a fighting chance.
You should have got
the kid's disease written down correctly.
How will we get compensation now, tell me?
Didi, I got whatever the doctor wrote.
Kiran, go now.
Okay, didi.
Whose eye do you intend to take out today?
Your name is also written
in the affidavit. You know, right?
I'm not worried about that.
If I had taken someone's eye out,
razed their house,
then I wouldn't have come here.
I would have called you
to the station to talk to you.
Nisha didi, here is your special tea.
With extra ginger. I only had one.
Will you have tea that's made here?
It's good. Get another one for Nisha didi.
- Okay.
- Go, kiddo.
How can I help you?
That day in the settlement clinic,
when I met you for the first time,
I had seen some sick kids with you.
What's wrong with them? Can you tell me?
Why is the administration suddenly asking
about these poor sick kids today?
Look, the case I'm working on,
I'm stuck.
Just think of this
as a wild shot in the dark.
Sit.
Last year, my father needed surgery.
It was the night of January 26.
I saw a lot of people crying
outside the emergency ward.
When I asked, they told me the
kids suddenly started vomiting, coughing,
and complaining of headaches
in the school.
Upon investigation, it was found that the
disaster happened in a room at the school.
The kids were standing in a queue
in that room for the event.
There wasn't even room to move.
There is a manhole cover here. Come.
The kids could smell some odor
coming from here. It wasn't anything new.
The kids scrunched up
their noses and mouths
and kept standing, holding their flags.
And kept inhaling
the poison in their lungs.
Who was running the school here?
Who gave the permission
to build the school atop a sewer?
Permission?
This entire settlement is illegal.
When does a poor man receive
permission to construct, Yadav ji?
RIGHT TO EDUCATION
EDUCATION FOR ALL CAMPAIGN
There was a speech
happening on the stage there.
Here the kids couldn't breathe.
Nine kids died.
And many more fell sick.
Some of them are still struggling today.
Still dying today.
Some can't breathe, just lie sick.
See there? That's a polystyrene factory.
They make rubber.
That poison came from this factory.
Will you investigate them?
Did anyone register a case?
Against whom?
Some say that it was a Korean company.
The foreman ran away.
Manager locked the offices and vanished.
Workers don't know anything.
No one knows who the real owner is.
Who will you make accountable? Tell me.
You are saying that kids died here,
and there was no mention of it anywhere?
No case was registered
in any police station?
It was registered.
Against the local confectioner.
And against the retired government teacher
who runs the school.
And the rest hid themselves.
In fear of having their lives uprooted.
You understand the fear
of a bulldozer, right?
It's always present in the mind.
This happened on January 26.
In the investigation of my case,
a kid died around the same date.
Arjun Bansal?
Son of the Prabhat Manthan people.
How could they be connected to this?
The boy was present here
along with his mother that day.
I know that family very well.
She was a witness herself that day.
And their newspaper
changed the entire narrative.
Who are you talking about?
She came to teach the kids
about truth and honesty.
Prabhat Group's rising star.
Meera Bansal.
I'm talking about her.
If the incident did happen, you must
have photos, a video, something.
The names of the kids, et cetera?
I have everything.
The people here have not forgotten
anything. Nor will they forget.
You can find their graves even today.
They are buried behind this very factory.
Like this entire settlement,
that graveyard is also illegal.
Nandu?
The documents we found on Madhav's laptop,
send me the details
of the I&B company mentioned in them.
I'll send them, but where are you?
I was looking for the root.
Consider it found.
UTTAR PRADESH POLICE
If you're able to break her,
then you have a chance.
This is your only chance.
I have several questions
about what happened at the farmhouse.
I'm still looking for answers.
How long will you keep
asking about that night?
Till the investigation is complete.
You must also want the same thing, right?
For the facts of this massacre
to come to light?
On the day of the murder, the prasad sent
by your guru ma was made in your home.
Your driver brought it to the farmhouse.
Aastha is lactose intolerant, and the
guard was going to eat after his rounds.
Apart from these two, you are the only one
who did not eat the prasad. Why?
I just didn't feel like it.
I didn't want to.
I was full.
What do you think?
Where could Aarav
have got that sedative from?
I don't know.
Maybe Aastha. She's the one
who gave the cell phone.
Why don't you ask her?
Or did Rajesh Bansal shut you up too?
We didn't find any such prescription
with Aastha,
but your husband used to leave
this medicine, clonazepam, for you.
I used to take it.
Then my dependency increased a lot,
but with Guru ma's help, I learned
to work through my pain without it.
That means that the sedative used
to incapacitate the entire family
was prescribed to only you, and you
were the only one who, without a cause,
didn't eat the prasad.
But to smoke that night,
you leave the house at 9:30 p.m.
in the cold,
and you were seen going
towards the tool shed,
only to return home in just five minutes.
I've cleared this up before also.
And after that, at 10:15 p.m.,
when murders were taking place
in the house, you were meditating.
You did not hear anything.
The murderer came to your door but left
because only one room in the whole house
was locked from inside: Yours.
What are you trying to imply?
That
You are very lucky.
And luck continued to favor you
even after that.
You opened the door and came outside,
encountered the murderer,
but the murderer was unable to kill you.
Instead, Aastha, who was coming up
after hearing your screams
- You stopped her too.
- I was trying...
When her wounded parents
were lying before you?
I was trying to keep her safe.
Yes.
You locked her in her room
but didn't go to get a phone.
- You didn't call for police or ambulance.
- One second.
I didn't want to go back to get a phone.
I wanted to call the security first.
Sure.
Good thinking.
Tell me,
why was your door locked from inside?
I was changing clothes.
Then you heard a noise, opened the door.
Your brother was lying dead
in the room next door, you didn't see?
There was blood on your doorknob,
bloodstains on the floor.
Did you check?
I wanted to go to him first.
But I heard some noises from the corridor
So I went there first.
And there you saw Aarav.
Who took the machete
to his sister's room to kill her, right?
Yes.
Meera ji,
maybe you're not aware
that about half an hour before that,
Aarav was playing video games
with his sister and Rihan.
You didn't know, right?
That's why you lied so easily.
I I don't know.
Who gave him the cocaine, then?
The gardener left the machete
in the tool shed at 8:00 p.m.
How did the murder weapon reach Aarav?
- I asked how did it reach him?
- I don't know!
You find out. It's your job, damn it!
- Meera!
- Sir, sir, sir!
- Are you okay? I just heard...
- I'm okay.
They can ask all the questions
they want about that night.
I will answer!
Let's forget that night.
Last year, on January 26,
you were the chief guest
at the Republic Day function at a school.
What happened there?
The reports say that your son
had been quite sick for about
15 days before that, so
What was he doing in that school
in Ambedkar Nagar?
Answer me.
Tell me.
I have photos.
Flags.
He went to distribute flags.
I was the chief guest.
You went there to preach about journalism.
The fourth pillar of our democracy.
Your newspaper,
which is printed in 40 editions
and distributed in 12 states,
didn't print a single word
about the disaster.
What good were your farmhouse,
mansions, private jets?
The air that your son
and a poor man's child breathed
was still the same.
I think you need to stop.
That illegal factory
belonged to you, right?
No accountability, no one punished.
But you were facing your own punishment.
You started hating the very mention
of Prabhat Manthan.
You started transferring everything
into your guru mata's name.
When your family discovered your penance,
it caused a huge upheaval.
Even then you were not satisfied.
You started hating your company,
your family, your money,
and on your son's death anniversary,
you freed everybody.
You're talking nonsense!
You understand nothing!
Ads, revenue, finance
Do you even know what these words mean?
We run thousands of households.
We generate employment, economic growth.
The prone to bribery, corrupt
and jealous class, like you,
have no understanding of our contribution!
Of our sacrifices!
We don't destroy, we create.
Understand?
Excuse me, ma'am.
Don't say anything.
Actually, you don't need to. Please.
Meera, let's go.
You are a doctor, Mr. Khanna.
You knew everything.
What did you say?
That legacy is like a prison?
What will normal people
like us understand?
What happened here had nothing
to do with me, Inspector, okay?
That compound, Dr. Khanna,
of fluorine, that damages the lungs,
would have been
in your son's lungs too, right?
You were at least able to try
to give him the right medication.
Here the parents didn't even know
what destroyed their kids from the inside.
Look at these pictures.
We don't want to see anything!
We're done here!
Let's go.
Sir.
Yes.
Yes, I'll tell him.
That was SP Chauhan.
He is in a temper.
He's called you to the DGP house.
Tell him I'm coming.
SAMEER VERMA
DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE
One interrogation
has reduced your Meera to this.
I'll raise 100 more questions
like this on my channel.
What will she do?
I understood this the moment
he came to me in his quest for truth.
Inspector Yadav,
at your friend's behest,
kept cornering Meera,
so that she panics
and hands over her heritage to you.
All that Meera has squandered on you,
she will have to account for all that.
Otherwise this investigation
will last a long time.
You can investigate what you want,
do what you want.
Oh, really?
It will not cause you any loss?
It will be prime time news what kind
of guru ma you are.
What you have taught?
What tricks you have handed over to your
pupils who slice each other's throats?
News runs on opinions, not facts.
Even if Meera were to give up her share,
the loss has already been incurred.
Prabhat Group will also be answerable.
On top of that,
the company will be blacklisted.
You will also meet your downfall.
Moral and financial both.
Okay, can I say something now?
Why are we gathered here?
To find a solution, right?
I think we have a solution.
Chauhan.
Actually, this case is very simple.
We are the ones complicating it
without reason.
A boy was a drug addict.
He wanted to get rid of his family.
He came up with a plan.
Like the birds,
he drugged everybody first.
And then slit everyone's throat.
But he got caught.
And he was not alone
in this entire massacre.
Sir.
That guard, Umesh.
We raided his house.
We found this bag of cocaine at his house.
Umesh is in custody.
He will confess everything
by tomorrow morning.
You are very correct.
The prasad that was sent home,
it was left at the gate.
Later,
someone from the kitchen
would take it inside.
Sir, that machete
was not taken upstairs by Umesh.
So how can we implicate him
in such a big case?
Oh, come on.
You are still stuck
on Dr. Panicker's machete?
Umesh would have got a copy made long ago.
Sir,
the problem is Dr. Panicker.
On top of that,
she doesn't understand UP police.
What nonsense!
You will change the murder weapon
because you can't solve one case properly?
Jatil, calm down, please.
Learn to work with some detachment, man.
We need to bring this case
to a solid conclusion.
How will we do it?
This case is not worth taking to court.
Public opinion is already formed.
So, now what?
Sir, now we will solve cases based
on public opinion and their feelings?
Sometimes you have to do it.
You'll learn.
Please understand.
I understand, sir.
I understand a lot.
Sir.
Please give me until tomorrow morning.
I will clarify all facts of this case.
This works for you?
Mata ji, I'll take my leave.
Give Meera my message.
If she agrees,
then this investigation can be solved
in a second.
Otherwise,
what Inspector Yadav has uncovered,
factory, settlement, kids,
it can result in case after case.
Please remember that.
Allow me.
You should correct your name, Inspector.
It should end with "N."
Then you will find success.
Ending with "L,"
it will only cause you failure.
One more thing.
From what I can see,
there is an evil presence around you.
It will not let you go.
Please don't waste your sermon on me.
Be it a presence or a human being
I'm not afraid of anyone.
Yadav, as soon
as Umesh confesses tomorrow,
SP Chauhan and I will brief the press.
I feel this case is very clear.
But if you don't agree
with our conclusion,
then please don't come.
Sir.
Yes, Inspector Yadav, what is it now?
I'm very busy packing now.
- Packing?
- What else?
I've been dismissed,
Inspector Yadav. Dismissed.
Your local forensic team
is taking over from tomorrow.
We have the whole night between today
and tomorrow, Dr. Panicker.
And I need one last favor from you
to solve this case, please.
What do you want, Inspector Yadav?
I have a name.
And I just need you to tell me
if it comes up to scratch
with your forensic investigation.
What name?
UMA SHANKAR DIXIDISTRICT MALE HOSPITAL
Yes, Pinky. I'll call you later.
It's an emergency.
He's regained consciousness
just a while ago, sir.
Doctor has just visited.
- Don't let anyone in.
- Okay.
I remember your face, sir.
Then nothing.
Try, Om Prakash.
Maybe you can remember
what happened that night.
I started my rounds that night.
When I reached the back,
I saw that the door
near the kitchen was open.
I got worried.
I went inside. Then I found Aastha madam.
Om bhaiya?
- What happened?
- I said
The back door was open.
Now I'll have to check everything again.
Okay, go ahead.
Umesh
Umesh
I was just returning
when I heard noises from above.
I ran upstairs.
I saw Aarav sir running
towards Meera madam to kill her.
I didn't want to kill him, sir.
I pushed him a little too hard,
and he fell below.
Okay.
Maybe you didn't want to kill Aarav.
But he came between you and Meera.
So you had to kill him.
Umesh brought the drugs, yes.
But you handed them over to Aarav.
This was your plan.
You asked for his phone.
You used Aarav's phone
to explain the whole plan to those boys,
so that it seems that the murders happened
in exactly the same way
in which the boys entered
the farmhouse the previous day.
After Kishor gardener left in the evening,
you entered the shed,
and there you found the machete.
The back door
was not left open accidentally.
You asked Aarav to leave it open
Om bhaiya? What happened?
That night, before you entered the house,
Aarav was with his sister.
Probably went downstairs
to open the door for you.
Aarav wasn't just playing video games
with Aastha,
he was waiting for you.
After hearing your voice,
as soon as Aarav came out of the room
Baba.
You didn't come to check the house.
You went to give Aarav the drugs.
And as soon as Aarav took the drugs
from you and went to his room,
you commenced your murder spree.
This was your chance
to take revenge on the family.
And the method
of killing everyone was same.
You covered everyone's faces,
so that the blood did not splatter
on your clothes.
But when you reached Vivek
and Seema Bansal's room,
the situation got out of hand.
She woke up.
And Vivek Bansal was also not asleep.
Om Prakash!
There was noise, and Aarav caught you.
Papa!
Papa!
There was an altercation,
and you had to run.
On hearing the noise, Meera came out
on one side, and from the other, Aastha.
Om bhaiya? What happened?
You were cornered.
When Aarav saw you behind Meera,
he ran to attack you.
Meera didn't understand that.
But why?
Why would anyone do this?
You? At this time?
I need a favor.
Meera Bansal took her son
to the school on January 26
where there was gas leak from the factory.
This is you, right?
And with you, your daughter,
Rinki?
Who is no more.
Tell me the truth, Om Prakash.
Or your Rinki will never be able
to forgive you.
She wouldn't take no for an answer.
She kept telling Arjun baba,
"I will not go to the parade
without a flag."
He was a good kid.
Arjun.
He's the one who brought his mother
- Hail Mother India!
- to the event.
I used to be their driver, sir.
I don't know what gas leaked, sir.
They didn't tell us
what happened to the kids.
I understood that what happened to Arjun,
was exactly what happened to Rinki.
Arjun!
Meera madam took him to London overnight.
And left her here to die.
They told us that nothing leaked from
the factory. That we were spreading lies.
I cried, begged,
that the kids are unable to breathe.
But they did not open
the doors to the house, sir.
On the contrary, they threatened me,
the people in the settlement, sir.
The fear of the settlement getting razed
silenced everyone.
They put a price on my Rinki's life.
They couldn't meet my eyes.
They sent me to the farmhouse later.
They thought I would forget my Rinki.
No, sir.
This family's deaths were decided
The day my daughter passed away.
Their factory spews poison,
they lie, and we lose our children?
Yes, sir.
I killed the Bansal family.
Poison spread in my settlement
under their supervision.
And instead of helping,
do you know what they printed?
That we killed our kids ourselves.
Because we are dirty slum dwellers.
We give our kids sewer water to drink,
keep them in dirty settlements,
burn garbage,
cause pollution.
We were fined.
Why?
Are we not citizens, sir?
If a poor person does not have
a house to live in,
does not have clean water to drink,
does that make us inferior to them?
We are a thousand times
better than them, sir.
We are more resilient than them.
We work hard. We dream.
But we also have our limits, sir.
We even pay tax
on the shrouds for our kids.
That's when I thought
That I will celebrate
the death anniversary of my kid
Only after that family is finished.
That's it.
This is my confession.
Everybody hear me.
POLICE
I killed the Bansal family.
They kept lying
even when they knew the truth.
Instead of raising our voices,
instead of getting us justice,
they kept suppressing our screams
under their noise, sir.
Please, please, be seated.
As you all know, Om Prakash has confessed.
All evidence supports his confession,
strengthens it.
We have judged every facet
of this investigation
with complete neutrality,
without succumbing to any pressure,
and with complete dedication.
Mahinder Bansal's blood was on his gloves.
The first murder.
A little late but never wrong,
Inspector Yadav.
for being here with us
in these difficult times. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Let's tell the team.
You went on a completely
different tangent, Yadav.
Sir, I thought he might provide us
with some solid evidence against Meera.
It would have strengthened the case.
Rajesh ji would've also been happy.
- You're suspended.
- On what basis, sir?
On the basis of insubordination!
Be at home. There will be an inquiry.
- But, sir...
- Dismissed.
Dr. Panicker, how did
Om Prakash's confession get leaked?
I had asked for one copy
for forensic investigation.
My laptop was stolen
from the circuit house.
Your laptop was stolen?
With all the sensitive
details of the case. It was stolen?
- I'm so sorry...
- Let it be. Enough.
"This is tragic! This is shocking!
This is shameful!"
We should hang our heads in shame.
This is the situation of law and order
in our country?
At Newrise, we take a pledge today.
We will start a new era of accountability,
of honesty and facts.
"And we will not rest till the time
the guilty are punished."
Cut.
You bastard, Verma!
I thought we had an
understanding. What's going on here?
It seems Rajesh ji's amrit kaal has begun.
He just had a meeting with mata ji.
Mata ji has promised
that she will only rest after sending you
to the Korean ashram.
Madhav was very upset that day.
When he came to know
about the I&B acquisitions,
his heart was broken.
I canceled all the acquisitions
that night, Sethi ji.
What are you saying?
Tell Rajesh that I'm here.
And the factory
that he is trying to threaten me with,
that is not even on my name.
Bade papa gave it
to someone else years ago.
Om Prakash is no more.
There is no justification
for what he did to my family.
A thirst for revenge is not good
for any civilized society.
That is a symptom of a sick society.
A society
where truth falters against lies.
The vegetables vendor has been
screaming outside. No one is bothered.
Let everyone become deaf in this house.
- So many things...
- No, I will manage.
Coffee?
Don't mind, Dr. Panicker,
I find your coffee
a little bitter without sugar.
I see. So how will you eat your food?
I think it's burning.
Smell something?
Come, come, Dr. Panicker.
Rosie. Please call me Rosie.
Good.
- Rosie, Rosie, sit here.
- Yeah.
If I didn't have an exam today,
I would have spoken
to you properly before leaving.
Meaning?
Found these on your table.
I told Mommy to remove them.
She kept them there.
We don't have
a single matching quality in this.
Is this why you are not proposing to me?
First finish your studies.
Take your exam.
Then I'll distract you.
I can manage that.
We have Mommy.
He got suspended, and I am
the one suffering the burnt food.
He does everything for her.
I have got only one cup of tea till today.
I know. I know.
You know? Talk softly.
I'll take my leave.
Namaste. I'm running late.
What did you burn inside?
Open the windows and doors.
There's so much smoke.
As far as I can see,
there is an evil presence around you.
It will not let you go.
Evil presence.
Guru ma was right.
