Theyâre policemen.
Some operation going on.
How could I know? They look like goons to me.
Move it, go, get lost.
Yeah, Ma'am? Positive.
Sudhirâs been watching all morning.
Is your boss home? Who is it? - Aseem? - What? Delhi Police.
Your friend Bhupendra.
- Did you call the cops? - Yeah, and you deserve it! And you deserve this, bitch! Are you nuts? So let me get this straight You serve 15 years for trying to blow up Parliament and start collecting weapons to kill the guys who turned you in.
You also admit to your wife that you cheated on her while in prison.
Pissed off, she calls the police.
And you kill her.
Keep an eye on him.
- What is this? Second time today.
- How much electricity did you use last month? - I don't keep track of the wattage.
- But I have last monthâs bill, itâs doubled.
My unitâs working on so many cases at night, should they work in the dark? Come on, switch the lights on, I'll pay the bill.
Thank you.
Someone pay this bill.
Deduct the money from the fuel budget.
- Weâve got to do it for Sir here.
- You're too kind.
So, Ram Pratap You disappeared while on duty yesterday.
And don't deny it.
Sir⦠I'm on duty all day, there's no time to buy medicines.
- My wife was sick.
- Oh yeah? I missed my brotherâs wedding because of work.
Don't lecture me about 'duty'.
If this happens again - Okay.
- Sir.
Wait a minute.
I know the shifts are long.
None of us have time for family.
Just don't let me hear about it next time, okay? Yes, Sir.
You asked to see me, Vinod? Yes, Ma'am.
How are you? So how was your first week of training? - Good, very good.
- Great.
Where are you from? - Chandigarh.
- Chandigarh? So how come youâre here? Punjab police must also need good officers.
I wanted the big city experience.
Meaning you wanted to get away from home.
Just⦠do a good job.
Correct.
I should get used to saluting you then - our future DCP.
Long live India.
- Whatâs going on? - Yes, Madam Sir.
No need to salute me.
So many vehicles passed by here, but you didnât look at even one of them.
Why have a checkpoint? Weâve been watching all day, Madam Sir.
We just took a little break.
Whatâs wrong with him? Did you smoke pot⦠on duty? Weâve been on duty for two days straight, Madam, without a break.
Either youâre liars, or youâre lazy⦠Great.
- Get him out of here.
- Go, get lost! - Yes, Madam Sir? - Vinod! Madam, what happened? I'm at Vasant Vihar Club checkpoint, where three of your men are doing nothing.
- And one of them is stoned.
- Maâam, I canât keep track of every constable.
You know about our staff shortages.
If we had more people this wouldnât happen.
It's good to know that you canât keep track of your own men.
Get them out of here now, and replace them.
- Yes, Madam.
- I'm waiting here.
Alright, 'Future DCP' Madam.
Check point duty.
Let's give you the big city experience.
I'm leaving Aseem in your custody.
Interrogation over? Yeah, Iâve got what I need.
Heâs in lock up, all yours now.
See? Who needs electricity.
- Having fun, Narayan? - Yes, Madam.
Go home.
Go on go home and talk on the phone all you want.
What? Stop! What did you say? Nothing Madam, nothing.
Long live India.
Weâre leaving, Madam.
Assholes.
- Youâre in training? - Yes, Madam.
I shouldnât have to tell you why we have checkpoints.
The drivers should feel intimidated.
Look into their eyes.
If they have something to hide, itâll show on their faces.
- Stop them and check them, got it? - Yes, Madam.
At the academy, you were our favourite.
Our teacher, Joshi Sir, he said you were his best student.
Eyes on the road.
Yes, Madam? - Now I'm stuck with these idiots.
- Are you asking me to take a demotion? No, not yet.
Interrogationâs done? Yes, youâll have a report on your desk tomorrow morning.
Alright, talk to you tomorrow.
Okay, Madam.
Shut it off.
- Now what, Madam? - What do you mean 'now what'? Itâs the second time Iâve been stopped by the police.
Iâm late.
There must be a reason.
What's in the back? School books.
Open it.
Madam, itâs school books.
Open it.
- See, school books.
- Get them down.
Now.
- It's heavy, Madam.
- Get them down.
Open it.
Look, Madam, look.
These too.
School books and elephant tusks? And, howâs your daughter, Rebha? Sheâs fine.
A little nervous.
I'm sure just like Maninder here.
Please excuse me, but when we last spoke, you never said what you do for a living? - Iâm with the Delhi Police.
- Oh, Delhi Police.
What post? STF - I head a Special Task Force in South District.
Okay.
So youâre an IPS officer? - No, Sir.
Iâm with the Delhi Police itself.
- What's the difference? IPS officers write an exam, and after training, command our officers.
But we have to start at the bottom, as constables, and work our way up.
I understand.
Itâs another gift from the British.
- Isnât that right? - Yes, indeed.
It used to be called the âImperial Police Serviceâ - Yeah, exactly - And no Indian could join.
After independence, it changed to the âIndian Police Serviceâ.
- Am I right? - Yes, yes.
See, it is a flawed system.
But the day it changes, youâll see great progress in policing this country.
But until then, you can never become a DCP? But he commands a special force, with direct access to his DCP.
Yes, I heard him.
Well, itâs been great meeting you.
I'll get back to you.
See, the kids' marriage is no small matter.
- Iâll talk to my family, and let you know.
- You're absolutely right.
So how's work? Amazing.
I met Vartika Chaturvedi today.
- Vartika Chaturvedi! - Yeah.
Whoâs she? DCP South District.
- You won't win me over like this.
- Even I was thinking that.
I mean, this isn't working, right? Fine So tell me, what do you want to know about me? Nothing.
I know enough.
Enough? - Enough to marry me? - Sure.
I donât know anything about you.
We have our entire lives to get to know each other.
But we only have a couple of hours to decide if we want to do this.
My parents are visiting.
Theyâll ask me as soon as I get home.
What am I doing?! I came to Delhi to be independent.
So is that why you joined the police, to be independent? You seem so sure of yourself.
Actually, besides you, Iâm sure of everything.
You have to go? Weâll meet again? Donât know.
That means we will.
- Brother, take us to Dwarka? - No.
- Brother, take us to Dwarka? - No, I'll take you to Munirka.
- Come on.
- No, Brother, Munirka.
You can take a bus from there.
- We'll find a bus there? - Yeah, of course.
â¦Yeah, so what date did the judge give? One second, hold on.
Yeah, go ahead.
How much? Are you serious? And she got that at the checkpoint? What was her name? Neeti.
Okay She went to San Diego to study, met a foreigner, fell in love, Here it's okay? - Why didn't we take this one? - No, no.
- Dwarka, Dwarka, Dwarka! - That one.
It's a deal, just three weeks, Kid.
Dwarka, Dwarka! Come in.
Dwarka, Dwarka, Dwarka! Stop stop stop⦠Go back, go back.
Back⦠there.
What is it? Oh, God.
Eagle 1, Gamma 5-0, note this call.
Eagle 1, Eagle 6-9.

Eagle 6-9, Eagle 1.
Go to Mahipal Pur.
There are two people, injured, lying naked near the overpass.
Eagle 1, Eagle 6-9.
On my way.
Hey, come on.
Malkhan - pull over, pull over.
Near the crowd.
Hey, move aside.
Move, move.
Let us see.
You people stay back.
Pick her up.
Easy.
Careful, careful.
Your name? Deepika, can you tell me what happened? Rape.
And they beat me with an iron rod.
Then they pushed the rod into my vagina.
I think They might have pulled out my flesh from inside.
Deepika, everything will be alright.
Emergency? Deepika? - No oneâs allowed here.
- Iâm her father.
Deepu my child.
Papa it hurts so much.
So much.
But I'll soon be okay.
Yes child, youâll soon be okay.
You'll be alright.
Please we have to continue here.
- Please come, come with me - What happened? - Iâll explain everything.
- Have you seen my childâs state? Come, come.
Sit here.
See, there was an attack on a bus.
Your daughter's fortunate It's cold outside, so she was too numb to feel the pain.
It'll be okay.
Iâll explain, okay? Let me report in first.
Eagle 1, Eagle 6-9.
Come in.
Eagle 6-9, Eagle 1.
Go ahead.
Eagle 1, Eagle 6-9.
Iâve brought the Mahipal Pur victims to Safdarjung Hospital.
An attack took place on a bus.
Both victims were found naked.
Totally stripped.
No medical report yet.
It's really bad.
Maybe the doctors can help.
Yeah, go ahead.
Madam? - Yeah? - Narayan's calling.
I'm calling his mobile.
- Yes, Madam.
- What happened? Madam, I donât know the whole story yet.
But I got a call that a male and female were found naked on the roadside in Mahipal Pur.
But thereâs no confirmation of rape.
- How did they end up there? - Don't know, Madam.
- And thereâs no confirmation of rape? - No.
- Hmm.
Call me if you hear anything else.
- Yes, Madam.
Yes, Madam? - When will you be back, Madam? - Don't know.
- Will I have to wake up to unlock the door? - No, Vishal will do it.
Any more details? No, Madam.
Hearing conflicting things.
Go faster.
- Youâre the IO? - Yes.
- Iâm the DCP, South District.
- Yes, Madam.
Whereâs the Mahipal Pur couple? Maâam, the girlâs about to go into surgery.
But if you want you can speak to the boy inside.
Careful.
Madam I'm Deepika's father.
- You're the DCP, right? - Yes.
Thank you for coming here yourself.
Please do something.
Nobody's giving us a straight answer.
Whatâs happened to my Deepika? See, the most important thing right now is to treat Deepika so that we can get through this medical emergency.
I promise you that someone from my team will stay with you.
Have a seat, heâll stay with you.
Please come.
- Hello, Maâam.
- Where are you? At home, sleeping.
Come to Safdarjung Hospital, now.
Something's happened.
Ma'am I have no way to get there.
Bhupendra, donât talk rubbish.
Youâre a smart inspector, find a way.
Iâm calling Rakesh and Subhash too.
I want all of you here, right now.
Okay, Ma'am.
- What happened? - What else? Have to work.
I'll make tea.
- Hello? - Yeah, Gautam? - What? - Hey, do you still have that car? Yes, Madam.
Narayan, thereâs a new IPS officer in training at Vasant Vihar station, Neeti Singh.
I want her number.
Itâs an emergency, come now.
What happened? - I have to go to work.
- Now? Yeah, the DCP called me.
We were out in seven minutes.
We reached here at 11 p.
m.
exactly.
Maâam.
- Whereâs Vinod? - Donât know.
I called and messaged, no response.
He must be getting his weekly manicure.
- And what happened to you? - A foot infection, but itâll be okay.
Good you all came.
Come.
How are you feeling? Who are you people? Vartika Chaturvedi - DCP South District.
These are Delhi Police officers.
Feeling better than before.
- Whatâs your name? - Akash Kumar.
Can you tell us what happened? Me and uh⦠Me and Deepika went to Select City Walk, to see a movie.
After the movie, no auto rickshaw would take us to Dwarka.
One of the auto drivers suggested we get off at Munirka Bus Stand and take a bus home from there.
What happened at the bus stand? We found a bus headed for Dwarka.
We were attacked on that bus.
How many people on the bus? Six people, who attacked us.
- What about the bus driver and conductor? - They were amoung the six.
Three of them emerged from the cabin and two of them started swearing at me.
One of them suddenly smacked me.
- I tried to fight back.
- Do you remember any names? I mean, did any of them address each other by their names? One asked "Brajesh" and "Vikas" to get the rod.
They got it.
They started beating me with the rod.
It's okay.
It's okay, take your time.
Deepika called out to the driver for help.
They dragged her to the back of the bus.
She kept screaming, but her voice was muffled.
I tried, but they wouldn't let me go back to her.
It was gang rape? I donât know.
The driver handed the bus to someone else and came back and hit me with the rod.
He then went back towards Deepika.
Later, I heard a voice saying âSheâs dead! Sheâs dead!â They snatched our clothes, phones, everything.
And threw us out of the moving bus near the airport overpass.
They turned the bus around and came back and tried to run us over.
Deepika was unconscious, so I dragged her to the ditch.
Then they drove off.
After a while the police arrived, but⦠they stood there for a while before taking us away.
What do you mean âstood there for a whileâ? According to my report, they were there for seven minutes.
Must be the Highway Patrol car.
They have similar sirens.
It looks like a PCR van, but they have no facilities.
Can you describe the bus? âFuture DCPâ Madam, you honour us with your presence.
You showed up? You honour us with your presence.
Sheâs critical, and may not have much time.
Maâam, where will this case be registered? - Where did they board the bus? - Munirka Bus Stand.
- Thatâs in Vasant Vihar? - Yes.
- Itâs your case.
- No, but, they were found in Mahipal Pur.
That's borderline, with âDelhi Cantonmentâ district.
And theyâre here as well.
The crime began where they boarded the bus, Vinod.
So this case will be registered at your station.
God bless you.
- Whoâs your best lady officer? - Sheâs here, Vimla Bharadwaj.
Can she handle this? Of course.
Okay.
No.
Youâll be the investigating officer on record.
Log all of the official paperwork.
Iâm creating a special investigation team.
Weâll handle the case.
Vinod, you can also stand down on this.
Ma'am, thatâs not necessary.
We can investigate.
We have a crack team, Ma'am.
And either way Your team canât even handle a checkpoint.
How will they handle this case? - Should I come? - No, Sir.
Iâll report to you in the morning.
A young male and female picked up by a private bus.
On that bus, they were assaulted by six males.
The male victim was beaten with an iron rod, robbed and stripped.
She was gang raped, and then molested and disfigured with the same iron rod.
Section 376 G.
We don't have much to go on.
No leads, and we don't know what the suspects look like.
We just have two names - Vikas and Brajesh.
So what else do we have? A white bus, and some details of its interior.
Most likely route is South Delhi: Munirka - Mahipal Pur.
Collect information on all white buses from the Delhi Transport Corporation.
Make a list of contractors of large fleet and short-route buses.
One team will work with our informants, to get anything they can.
Find out from them how many white buses are parked in South Delhi, right now.
- Youâre both from Palam area, right? - Yes, Madam.
Call your contacts, see if anyone knows anything about this bus.
Yes, Maâam, Iâll talk to Sudhir.
And put all of our informants on this.
If they find any buses like this, stop and search them.
The suspects are all lower class.
Bus drivers, conductors, bus cleaners.
A girl was raped on this bus and a boy was beaten.
It's a mess.
Theyâre probably cleaning it somewhere.
Or they might be at a food stand or liquor den.
They probably didnât go home.
Badarpur, Gurgaon, Noida, even North Delhi⦠Check out all the major bus stands.
Go to the Mahipal Pur overpass.
See if we can find any clues.
Subhash, I want you personally on this.
Yes.
In fact, trace the entire route of the bus, wherever it went.
Collect all the CCTV footage along the potential bus route.
Check all of the airport hotel cameras.
See if any of them caught this bus.
- Jairaj, your teamâs here? - Yes, Sir.
- You guys handle this.
- Will do, Sir.
The victimâs mobile logs - maybe they were called during the crime.
Trace the calls, map out a digital route of the bus.
In fact, I want a list of all calls made during the crime, along that route.
From Munirka to Mahipal Pur.
If any numbers show up in both areas, mark them, they may belong to our suspects.
- Ma'am, that could be millions of calls.
- Yeah, but itâs not your problem, Vinod.
I don't want the defence council saying we screwed up.
The command centre will be at Vasant Vihar Station.
Everyone will report back to me or Bhupendra.
I donât have to tell you all how easily this case can slip away.
If we donât catch any of our suspects within 7-10 hours they may all disappear.
This is not a standard gang rape.
Whatâs happened to this girl, Iâve never seen before.
Neeti.
Whatever they need, food, anything, take care of them.
Youâre closest to the victimâs age.
Her family needs someone they can relate to.
Yes, please send it.
Iâm taking over your office until this case is solved.
Thereâs no need, Maâam, get some rest Maâam, can I ask you something? Yeah.
- Whatâs so special about this case? - You didnât see her condition.
No, but weâve handled so many gang rape cases.
- Whatâs so special about this one? - This oneâs demonic, Bhupendra.
If it happened to one of our daughters, we donât know what weâd do.
And we canât trust Vinod with this, you know that.
He tried to pass this onto the Delhi Cantonment guys, asshole.
Heâs the kind who acts innocent in front of his mother and sister but will let these cases slide.
- Delhi Police.
Whereâs your security room? - Why, Sir? What's happened? There was a crime last night, we need to check your footage.
There's no camera facing the road? No, Sir.
Sometimes we catch a reflection off the front door glass.
But thereâs no camera facing the road.
Motherfucker.
Madam, we've asked 50 contractors to track the whereabouts of their white buses.
- Harish? - Hello? - Rakesh here, buddy.
How are you? - All good, you tell me.
Fine.
Howâs your wife? Everyoneâs fine.
- I need a favour.
- Yeah? You know all transporters based in Palam.
I need a list of all bus operators from there.
- Okay.
- And their phone numbers as well.
Iâm investigating a sensitive case.
Itâs urgent.
Can I get something for you - tea? How could someone do this to her? What did my child do to deserve this? She said sheâd come home after the movie.
She kept asking how she looked in her new top.
What happened? We've started her treatment.
There's internal injuries, organ damage.
The bite marks on her face have caused swelling.
And there's internal hemorrhaging.
- All the details are here.
- But, sheâll be okay, right? We canât say anything for sure.
Her condition is critical.
We might have to do another surgery.
For now, weâre monitoring her.
I have to get back.
Have faith, weâre doing the best we can.
The doctors are trying their best.
Please have a seat.
Iâll sit with you.
- Whereâs the hospital seal? - Madam, is that necessary? Sir I tried my best.
But there were too many of them.
She said you were just going to see a movie.
What happened after that? You were both attacked but sheâs the one fighting for her life.
Why? Akash, we have to go.
I tried my best, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Itâs okay, Kid.
Be brave.
Look Akash, you can still help Deepika by helping the police.
Right? Letâs go? - Come.
- I tried.
Yeah Harish, what do you have? Yeah, check your WhatsApp.
Iâve sent 20 names.
All bus owners who live nearby.
Well done.
You just got yourself a bottle of whiskey.
But none of that rubbish Black Label.
- Oh yeah? How about Glenfiddich? - Yeah.
- Hey Brother, where are you coming from? - Noida.
Come.
- How are you, Akash? - Fine.
- Sit.
Vimla, some warm milk for him.
- Yes, Madam Sir.
So do you remember anything else? Even small details about the bus or the people.
One second Yeah? No, only the cameras on our route.
If they're not facing the road, donât waste your time.
Yeah.
On the dashboard of the bus, thereâs a statue.
I think it's Lord Shivaâs statue.
In the driverâs cabin.
- Send this information to all our teams.
- Yes, Madam.
Wait, there, there, we found it.
Finally, a camera facing the road.
- It always faces the road? - No no.
The screw broke, thatâs why itâs facing that way.
Fine.
Play it from 8 p.
m.
last night.
Madam Sir.
- Good, seal all the samples like this.
- Yes, Madam Sir.
The constable at the hospital was negligent, even after your orders.
- We canât trust these constables at all.
- I'll take care of this.
957711071.
- Yes, Madam? - Where are you? Madam, interviewing bus drivers in Dwarka.
Okay, do you still have your friend at the Central Forensics Science Lab? Yes, Madam.
I want their experts at our crime scene to collect all the samples.
I donât trust the junior constables at all.
Sure Madam, but we would need to do a mountain of paperwork for authorization.
So you want us to run this investigation by the book but you donât want to observe protocol in getting the right team to conduct it? - Iâll get it done, Madam.
- And keep track of any expenses, okay? No problem, Madam.
Long live India.
Finish up, quickly.
Hello - a bit early, isnât it? Sir, I wouldnât bother you if I didnât have to.
Weâre investigating a heinous crime from last night⦠â¦and you want my boys for forensics? Sir, you know I wouldnât ask if it wasnât dire.
DCP Vartika Chaturvedi is overseeing this herself.
- Why? Is she looking for a promotion? - No, it's not like that.
Sheâs taking this case personally.
Hmm.
We all have that one case at some point.
Anyway, youâll provide transportation and meals for my boys.
No problem, Sir, done.
Sudhir's gone to the Regional Transport Office to get a list of bus owners.
Madam, my team's searched 250 buses, and detained 22 for inspection.
Weâre talking to the drivers to trace their routes.
Right now, it's all soft interrogations.
But did you tell the constables about the Lord Shiva statue? Yeah, they should all have that information soon.
And weâre asking the drivers about the bus owners and calling them up.
I want to speak to them.
Actually, you know what? Bring them all here.
Just the white bus owners.
Here? - Whatâs this bus used for? - It's a school bus.
- Weâre not looking for a school bus, right? - No.
- Youâre the regular driver? - Yes.
And this is your regular conductor? No, heâs a replacement.
My guy's visiting his home village.
- Whoâs the owner? - Mr.
Sirish.
- Mr.
Sirish? You have his number? - No, I don't have it.
Donât have it? Fine, you can go.
Let him go.
Near the crowd.
Hey, move aside.
Move, move.

- Get bedsheets from one of those hotels there.

Correct.
I should get used to saluting you then - our future DCP.
Long live India.
- Whatâs going on? - Yes, Madam Sir.
No need to salute me.
So many vehicles passed by here, but you didnât look at even one of them.
Why have a checkpoint? Weâve been watching all day, Madam Sir.
We just took a little break.
Whatâs wrong with him? Did you smoke pot⦠on duty? Weâve been on duty for two days straight, Madam, without a break.
Either youâre liars, or youâre lazy⦠Great.
- Get him out of here.
- Go, get lost! - Yes, Madam Sir? - Vinod! Madam, what happened? I'm at Vasant Vihar Club checkpoint, where three of your men are doing nothing.
- And one of them is stoned.
- Maâam, I canât keep track of every constable.
You know about our staff shortages.
If we had more people this wouldnât happen.
It's good to know that you canât keep track of your own men.
Get them out of here now, and replace them.
- Yes, Madam.
- I'm waiting here.
Alright, 'Future DCP' Madam.
Check point duty.
Let's give you the big city experience.
I'm leaving Aseem in your custody.
Interrogation over? Yeah, Iâve got what I need.
Heâs in lock up, all yours now.
See? Who needs electricity.
- Having fun, Narayan? - Yes, Madam.
Go home.
Go on go home and talk on the phone all you want.
What? Stop! What did you say? Nothing Madam, nothing.
Long live India.
Weâre leaving, Madam.
Assholes.
- Youâre in training? - Yes, Madam.
I shouldnât have to tell you why we have checkpoints.
The drivers should feel intimidated.
Look into their eyes.
If they have something to hide, itâll show on their faces.
- Stop them and check them, got it? - Yes, Madam.
At the academy, you were our favourite.
Our teacher, Joshi Sir, he said you were his best student.
Eyes on the road.
Yes, Madam? - Now I'm stuck with these idiots.
- Are you asking me to take a demotion? No, not yet.
Interrogationâs done? Yes, youâll have a report on your desk tomorrow morning.
Alright, talk to you tomorrow.
Okay, Madam.
Shut it off.
- Now what, Madam? - What do you mean 'now what'? Itâs the second time Iâve been stopped by the police.
Iâm late.
There must be a reason.
What's in the back? School books.
Open it.
Madam, itâs school books.
Open it.
- See, school books.
- Get them down.
Now.
- It's heavy, Madam.
- Get them down.
Open it.
Look, Madam, look.
These too.
School books and elephant tusks? And, howâs your daughter, Rebha? Sheâs fine.
A little nervous.
I'm sure just like Maninder here.
Please excuse me, but when we last spoke, you never said what you do for a living? - Iâm with the Delhi Police.
- Oh, Delhi Police.
What post? STF - I head a Special Task Force in South District.
Okay.
So youâre an IPS officer? - No, Sir.
Iâm with the Delhi Police itself.
- What's the difference? IPS officers write an exam, and after training, command our officers.
But we have to start at the bottom, as constables, and work our way up.
I understand.
Itâs another gift from the British.
- Isnât that right? - Yes, indeed.
It used to be called the âImperial Police Serviceâ - Yeah, exactly - And no Indian could join.
After independence, it changed to the âIndian Police Serviceâ.
- Am I right? - Yes, yes.
See, it is a flawed system.
But the day it changes, youâll see great progress in policing this country.
But until then, you can never become a DCP? But he commands a special force, with direct access to his DCP.
Yes, I heard him.
Well, itâs been great meeting you.
I'll get back to you.
See, the kids' marriage is no small matter.
- Iâll talk to my family, and let you know.
- You're absolutely right.
So how's work? Amazing.
I met Vartika Chaturvedi today.
- Vartika Chaturvedi! - Yeah.
Whoâs she? DCP South District.
- You won't win me over like this.
- Even I was thinking that.
I mean, this isn't working, right? Fine So tell me, what do you want to know about me? Nothing.
I know enough.
Enough? - Enough to marry me? - Sure.
I donât know anything about you.
We have our entire lives to get to know each other.
But we only have a couple of hours to decide if we want to do this.
My parents are visiting.
Theyâll ask me as soon as I get home.
What am I doing?! I came to Delhi to be independent.
So is that why you joined the police, to be independent? You seem so sure of yourself.
Actually, besides you, Iâm sure of everything.
You have to go? Weâll meet again? Donât know.
That means we will.
- Brother, take us to Dwarka? - No.
- Brother, take us to Dwarka? - No, I'll take you to Munirka.
- Come on.
- No, Brother, Munirka.
You can take a bus from there.
- We'll find a bus there? - Yeah, of course.
â¦Yeah, so what date did the judge give? One second, hold on.
Yeah, go ahead.
How much? Are you serious? And she got that at the checkpoint? What was her name? Neeti.
Okay She went to San Diego to study, met a foreigner, fell in love, Here it's okay? - Why didn't we take this one? - No, no.
- Dwarka, Dwarka, Dwarka! - That one.
It's a deal, just three weeks, Kid.
Dwarka, Dwarka! Come in.
Dwarka, Dwarka, Dwarka! Stop stop stop⦠Go back, go back.

What is it? Oh, God.
Eagle 1, Gamma 5-0, note this call.

Move, move.
Let us see.
You people stay back.
Pick her up.
Easy.
Careful, careful.
Your name? Deepika, can you tell me what happened? Rape.
And they beat me with an iron rod.
Then they pushed the rod into my vagina.
I think They might have pulled out my flesh from inside.
Deepika, everything will be alright.
Emergency? Deepika? - No oneâs allowed here.
- Iâm her father.
Deepu my child.
Papa it hurts so much.
So much.
But I'll soon be okay.
Yes child, youâll soon be okay.
You'll be alright.
Please we have to continue here.
- Please come, come with me - What happened? - Iâll explain everything.
- Have you seen my childâs state? Come, come.
Sit here.
See, there was an attack on a bus.
Your daughter's fortunate It's cold outside, so she was too numb to feel the pain.
It'll be okay.
Iâll explain, okay? Let me report in first.
Eagle 1, Eagle 6-9.
Come in.
Eagle 6-9, Eagle 1.
Go ahead.
Eagle 1, Eagle 6-9.
Iâve brought the Mahipal Pur victims to Safdarjung Hospital.
An attack took place on a bus.
Both victims were found naked.
Totally stripped.
No medical report yet.
It's really bad.
Maybe the doctors can help.
Yeah, go ahead.
Madam? - Yeah? - Narayan's calling.
I'm calling his mobile.
- Yes, Madam.
- What happened? Madam, I donât know the whole story yet.
But I got a call that a male and female were found naked on the roadside in Mahipal Pur.
But thereâs no confirmation of rape.
- How did they end up there? - Don't know, Madam.
- And thereâs no confirmation of rape? - No.
- Hmm.
Call me if you hear anything else.
- Yes, Madam.
Yes, Madam? - When will you be back, Madam? - Don't know.
- Will I have to wake up to unlock the door? - No, Vishal will do it.
Any more details? No, Madam.
Hearing conflicting things.
Go faster.
- Youâre the IO? - Yes.
- Iâm the DCP, South District.
- Yes, Madam.
Whereâs the Mahipal Pur couple? Maâam, the girlâs about to go into surgery.
But if you want you can speak to the boy inside.
Careful.
Madam I'm Deepika's father.
- You're the DCP, right? - Yes.
Thank you for coming here yourself.
Please do something.
Nobody's giving us a straight answer.
Whatâs happened to my Deepika? See, the most important thing right now is to treat Deepika so that we can get through this medical emergency.
I promise you that someone from my team will stay with you.
Have a seat, heâll stay with you.
Please come.
- Hello, Maâam.
- Where are you? At home, sleeping.
Come to Safdarjung Hospital, now.
Something's happened.
Ma'am I have no way to get there.
Bhupendra, donât talk rubbish.
Youâre a smart inspector, find a way.
Iâm calling Rakesh and Subhash too.
I want all of you here, right now.
Okay, Ma'am.
- What happened? - What else? Have to work.
I'll make tea.
- Hello? - Yeah, Gautam? - What? - Hey, do you still have that car? Yes, Madam.
Narayan, thereâs a new IPS officer in training at Vasant Vihar station, Neeti Singh.
I want her number.
Itâs an emergency, come now.
What happened? - I have to go to work.
- Now? Yeah, the DCP called me.
We were out in seven minutes.
We reached here at 11 p.
m.
exactly.
Maâam.
- Whereâs Vinod? - Donât know.
I called and messaged, no response.
He must be getting his weekly manicure.
- And what happened to you? - A foot infection, but itâll be okay.
Good you all came.
Come.
How are you feeling? Who are you people? Vartika Chaturvedi - DCP South District.
These are Delhi Police officers.
Feeling better than before.
- Whatâs your name? - Akash Kumar.
Can you tell us what happened? Me and uh⦠Me and Deepika went to Select City Walk, to see a movie.
After the movie, no auto rickshaw would take us to Dwarka.
One of the auto drivers suggested we get off at Munirka Bus Stand and take a bus home from there.
What happened at the bus stand? We found a bus headed for Dwarka.
We were attacked on that bus.
How many people on the bus? Six people, who attacked us.
- What about the bus driver and conductor? - They were amoung the six.
Three of them emerged from the cabin and two of them started swearing at me.
One of them suddenly smacked me.
- I tried to fight back.
- Do you remember any names? I mean, did any of them address each other by their names? One asked "Brajesh" and "Vikas" to get the rod.
They got it.
They started beating me with the rod.
It's okay.
It's okay, take your time.
Deepika called out to the driver for help.
They dragged her to the back of the bus.
She kept screaming, but her voice was muffled.
I tried, but they wouldn't let me go back to her.
It was gang rape? I donât know.
The driver handed the bus to someone else and came back and hit me with the rod.
He then went back towards Deepika.
Later, I heard a voice saying âSheâs dead! Sheâs dead!â They snatched our clothes, phones, everything.
And threw us out of the moving bus near the airport overpass.
They turned the bus around and came back and tried to run us over.
Deepika was unconscious, so I dragged her to the ditch.
Then they drove off.
After a while the police arrived, but⦠they stood there for a while before taking us away.
What do you mean âstood there for a whileâ? According to my report, they were there for seven minutes.
Must be the Highway Patrol car.
They have similar sirens.
It looks like a PCR van, but they have no facilities.
Can you describe the bus? âFuture DCPâ Madam, you honour us with your presence.
You showed up? You honour us with your presence.
Sheâs critical, and may not have much time.
Maâam, where will this case be registered? - Where did they board the bus? - Munirka Bus Stand.
- Thatâs in Vasant Vihar? - Yes.
- Itâs your case.
- No, but, they were found in Mahipal Pur.
That's borderline, with âDelhi Cantonmentâ district.
And theyâre here as well.
The crime began where they boarded the bus, Vinod.
So this case will be registered at your station.
God bless you.
- Whoâs your best lady officer? - Sheâs here, Vimla Bharadwaj.
Can she handle this? Of course.
Okay.
No.
Youâll be the investigating officer on record.
Log all of the official paperwork.
Iâm creating a special investigation team.
Weâll handle the case.
Vinod, you can also stand down on this.
Ma'am, thatâs not necessary.
We can investigate.
We have a crack team, Ma'am.
And either way Your team canât even handle a checkpoint.
How will they handle this case? - Should I come? - No, Sir.
Iâll report to you in the morning.
A young male and female picked up by a private bus.
On that bus, they were assaulted by six males.
The male victim was beaten with an iron rod, robbed and stripped.
She was gang raped, and then molested and disfigured with the same iron rod.
Section 376 G.
We don't have much to go on.
No leads, and we don't know what the suspects look like.
We just have two names - Vikas and Brajesh.
So what else do we have? A white bus, and some details of its interior.
Most likely route is South Delhi: Munirka - Mahipal Pur.
Collect information on all white buses from the Delhi Transport Corporation.
Make a list of contractors of large fleet and short-route buses.
One team will work with our informants, to get anything they can.
Find out from them how many white buses are parked in South Delhi, right now.
- Youâre both from Palam area, right? - Yes, Madam.
Call your contacts, see if anyone knows anything about this bus.
Yes, Maâam, Iâll talk to Sudhir.
And put all of our informants on this.
If they find any buses like this, stop and search them.
The suspects are all lower class.
Bus drivers, conductors, bus cleaners.
A girl was raped on this bus and a boy was beaten.
It's a mess.
Theyâre probably cleaning it somewhere.
Or they might be at a food stand or liquor den.
They probably didnât go home.
Badarpur, Gurgaon, Noida, even North Delhi⦠Check out all the major bus stands.
Go to the Mahipal Pur overpass.
See if we can find any clues.
Subhash, I want you personally on this.
Yes.
In fact, trace the entire route of the bus, wherever it went.
Collect all the CCTV footage along the potential bus route.
Check all of the airport hotel cameras.
See if any of them caught this bus.
- Jairaj, your teamâs here? - Yes, Sir.
- You guys handle this.
- Will do, Sir.
The victimâs mobile logs - maybe they were called during the crime.
Trace the calls, map out a digital route of the bus.
In fact, I want a list of all calls made during the crime, along that route.
From Munirka to Mahipal Pur.
If any numbers show up in both areas, mark them, they may belong to our suspects.
- Ma'am, that could be millions of calls.
- Yeah, but itâs not your problem, Vinod.
I don't want the defence council saying we screwed up.
The command centre will be at Vasant Vihar Station.
Everyone will report back to me or Bhupendra.
I donât have to tell you all how easily this case can slip away.
If we donât catch any of our suspects within 7-10 hours they may all disappear.
This is not a standard gang rape.
Whatâs happened to this girl, Iâve never seen before.
Neeti.
Whatever they need, food, anything, take care of them.
Youâre closest to the victimâs age.
Her family needs someone they can relate to.
Yes, please send it.
Iâm taking over your office until this case is solved.
Thereâs no need, Maâam, get some rest Maâam, can I ask you something? Yeah.
- Whatâs so special about this case? - You didnât see her condition.
No, but weâve handled so many gang rape cases.
- Whatâs so special about this one? - This oneâs demonic, Bhupendra.
If it happened to one of our daughters, we donât know what weâd do.
And we canât trust Vinod with this, you know that.
He tried to pass this onto the Delhi Cantonment guys, asshole.
Heâs the kind who acts innocent in front of his mother and sister but will let these cases slide.
- Delhi Police.
Whereâs your security room? - Why, Sir? What's happened? There was a crime last night, we need to check your footage.
There's no camera facing the road? No, Sir.
Sometimes we catch a reflection off the front door glass.
But thereâs no camera facing the road.
Motherfucker.
Madam, we've asked 50 contractors to track the whereabouts of their white buses.
- Harish? - Hello? - Rakesh here, buddy.
How are you? - All good, you tell me.
Fine.
Howâs your wife? Everyoneâs fine.
- I need a favour.
- Yeah? You know all transporters based in Palam.
I need a list of all bus operators from there.
- Okay.
- And their phone numbers as well.
Iâm investigating a sensitive case.
Itâs urgent.
Can I get something for you - tea? How could someone do this to her? What did my child do to deserve this? She said sheâd come home after the movie.
She kept asking how she looked in her new top.
What happened? We've started her treatment.
There's internal injuries, organ damage.
The bite marks on her face have caused swelling.
And there's internal hemorrhaging.
- All the details are here.
- But, sheâll be okay, right? We canât say anything for sure.
Her condition is critical.
We might have to do another surgery.
For now, weâre monitoring her.
I have to get back.
Have faith, weâre doing the best we can.
The doctors are trying their best.
Please have a seat.
Iâll sit with you.
- Whereâs the hospital seal? - Madam, is that necessary? Sir I tried my best.
But there were too many of them.
She said you were just going to see a movie.
What happened after that? You were both attacked but sheâs the one fighting for her life.
Why? Akash, we have to go.
I tried my best, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Itâs okay, Kid.
Be brave.
Look Akash, you can still help Deepika by helping the police.
Right? Letâs go? - Come.
- I tried.
Yeah Harish, what do you have? Yeah, check your WhatsApp.
Iâve sent 20 names.
All bus owners who live nearby.
Well done.
You just got yourself a bottle of whiskey.
But none of that rubbish Black Label.
- Oh yeah? How about Glenfiddich? - Yeah.
- Hey Brother, where are you coming from? - Noida.
Come.
- How are you, Akash? - Fine.
- Sit.
Vimla, some warm milk for him.
- Yes, Madam Sir.
So do you remember anything else? Even small details about the bus or the people.
One second Yeah? No, only the cameras on our route.
If they're not facing the road, donât waste your time.
Yeah.
On the dashboard of the bus, thereâs a statue.
I think it's Lord Shivaâs statue.
In the driverâs cabin.
- Send this information to all our teams.
- Yes, Madam.
Wait, there, there, we found it.
Finally, a camera facing the road.
- It always faces the road? - No no.
The screw broke, thatâs why itâs facing that way.
Fine.
Play it from 8 p.
m.
last night.
Madam Sir.
- Good, seal all the samples like this.
- Yes, Madam Sir.
The constable at the hospital was negligent, even after your orders.
- We canât trust these constables at all.
- I'll take care of this.
957711071.
- Yes, Madam? - Where are you? Madam, interviewing bus drivers in Dwarka.
Okay, do you still have your friend at the Central Forensics Science Lab? Yes, Madam.
I want their experts at our crime scene to collect all the samples.
I donât trust the junior constables at all.
Sure Madam, but we would need to do a mountain of paperwork for authorization.
So you want us to run this investigation by the book but you donât want to observe protocol in getting the right team to conduct it? - Iâll get it done, Madam.
- And keep track of any expenses, okay? No problem, Madam.
Long live India.
Finish up, quickly.
Hello - a bit early, isnât it? Sir, I wouldnât bother you if I didnât have to.
Weâre investigating a heinous crime from last night⦠â¦and you want my boys for forensics? Sir, you know I wouldnât ask if it wasnât dire.
DCP Vartika Chaturvedi is overseeing this herself.
- Why? Is she looking for a promotion? - No, it's not like that.
Sheâs taking this case personally.
Hmm.
We all have that one case at some point.
Anyway, youâll provide transportation and meals for my boys.
No problem, Sir, done.
Sudhir's gone to the Regional Transport Office to get a list of bus owners.
Madam, my team's searched 250 buses, and detained 22 for inspection.
Weâre talking to the drivers to trace their routes.
Right now, it's all soft interrogations.
But did you tell the constables about the Lord Shiva statue? Yeah, they should all have that information soon.
And weâre asking the drivers about the bus owners and calling them up.
I want to speak to them.
Actually, you know what? Bring them all here.
Just the white bus owners.
Here? - Whatâs this bus used for? - It's a school bus.
- Weâre not looking for a school bus, right? - No.
- Youâre the regular driver? - Yes.
And this is your regular conductor? No, heâs a replacement.
My guy's visiting his home village.
- Whoâs the owner? - Mr.
Sirish.
- Mr.
Sirish? You have his number? - No, I don't have it.
Donât have it? Fine, you can go.
Let him go.
