Seems someone's come quite prepared today.

Funny. To me, it looks like someone's a bit on edge.

You know, I can smell it.

I know exactly what His Honor is going to ask.

And I trust Inspector Shafiq has come thoroughly prepared as well.

Oh, I have no doubt you've done your homework, Mr. Bukhari.

But I suspect a few questions might be raised

that you haven't coached Inspector Shafiq on.

What are you implying?

Why would I need to coach Inspector Shafiq?

It's the first rule of law, Mr. Bukhari.

Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

There can't be a right answer to a wrong question.

The truth always prevails, Mr. Bukhari.

Your truth is not my truth.

The truth... coming from you?

Please.

Careful, that’s a personal attack.

Oh, please.

All rise.

Mr. Rohit Bhagwant's testimony was scheduled for today.

Where is he, Mr. Bukhari?

We've been unable to reach Mr. Rohit, Your Honor.

I don't know his whereabouts.

His wife is present in court. Perhaps she can enlighten us.

The court ordered Mr. Rohit to give his testimony today.

Indeed, Your Honor.

He should have been here as per the court’s orders.

However, since he is not present, I request that you proceed with the case.

Did he submit any request explaining his absence?

No, Your Honor.

Then the court will be forced to take strict action against Mr. Rohit.

If his wife is present,

she may wish to contact him and inform him of this.

Yes, Your Honor.

Is the Investigating Officer for this case, Inspector Shafiq, present?

Yes, Your Honor.

Please approach the witness stand.

So, Inspector Shafiq,

the report states you investigated the incident at the accused,

Kamran's, residence.

And that you also interrogated all four of his servants there.

Is that correct?

Yes, Your Honor. That is precisely what happened.

However, your report indicates conflicting testimonies.

Some servants claim you investigated at the accused's residence,

while others state you summoned them to the police station.

Your Honor, that discrepancy is on the servants' end.

I conducted my investigation with complete integrity,

and my report states nothing but the facts.

Then, in your opinion, why would they say that?

Well, that's just business as usual, Your Honor.

Witnesses give one statement at the station,

but by the time they reach court, they've changed their tune.

They're either pressured or they've been paid off.

I see.

These four witnesses are still employed by the accused, Kamran.

In that case, who would have pressured them?

Who would have paid them off?

Your Honor.

Whether it was Ms. Sehar or her lawyer.

However, I did not undertake any investigation regarding that issue.

Therefore, I cannot offer a definitive conclusion.

Has it ever happened in an investigation

that you failed to summon the accused

or their witnesses to the station

and instead conducted the entire investigation

at the accused’s residence, submitting a report based on that?

It's a rape case,

so the crime scene is important, isn't it?

So, do you conduct the entire investigation for a murder charge

at the crime scene as well?

Do you not summon the accused and witnesses to the station?

Your Honor,

how can you possibly compare a murder investigation

with that of a rape case?

So is rape a lesser crime in your eyes?

Speak up, Inspector Shafiq.

It's because you don't consider rape a major crime

that you didn't summon the accused and witnesses to the station.

No, no, Your Honor, that's not true at all.

Rape is a very serious crime in my eyes.

Then was it because the accused, Kamran,

is a wealthy, influential man?

If he were an ordinary person,

he would have been doing rounds at the station every day

and even be in a lock-up.

The accused, Kamran, came to the station once,

but he got bail, so I couldn't arrest him.

Then tell me, Inspector Shafiq.

Who is powerful enough to pressure or bribe them?

Why do none of the servants' statements match?

That's a question you should ask the accused, Kamran, and his servants.

How can I answer something I don't know about?

Did you get Ms. Sehar's mobile phone forensically examined?

Yes, absolutely.

Had she deleted any messages from it?

No, sir, absolutely not.

Did you get the accused, Kamran's, mobile phone forensically examined?

No. No, Your Honor.

And what was the reason you didn't get the phone of the main accused,

Kamran, forensically examined?

Especially when he himself admitted to deleting messages from it.

Your Honor,

that oversight occurred

because I didn't feel it was necessary.

How could you not feel it was necessary?

The complainant, Sehar, provided her complete phone records to you.

And according to her,

the conversations between her and the accused, Kamran,

were critical to this incident.

And you didn't feel it was necessary?

Incredible.

Your Honor,

with all due respect,

the police are damned if they do, damned if they don't.

On one side, the accused Kamran's lawyer claims

I'm going against his client to side with Ms. Sehar.

Then, Ms. Sehar's lawyer claims I'm siding with the accused Kamran.

And the truth is, Your Honor,

if I had really sided with the accused Kamran,

I would have dismissed Ms. Sehar's allegations as false in the report itself.

The case would've been closed before it even started.

Your Honor.

This is precisely how, in a premeditated manner,

the police have helped the accused Kamran in this case.

-I object. -If I present you...

I object, Your Honor.

The prosecution counsel is once again questioning the police.

In fact, she isn't just questioning them, she's passing judgments herself.

The honorable lady seems to have forgotten

that she's a lawyer in this case, and you are the judge.

I object to this.

I am only speaking based on the evidence, Your Honor.

-I object to her evidence as well. -I object to his objection, Your Honor.

What's with all this objecting from the two of you?

Your Honor, the police are our law enforcement agency.

Without any proof,

do our police officers deserve this disrespect and treatment?

Especially in your court?

Both of you, sit down.

Inspector Shafiq, are you certain that at the time of the incident,

all of the accused Kamran's staff were present at his residence?

Yes, Your Honor.

And you also conducted your questioning of Mr. Kamran's friend,

Mr. Rohit, at his residence?

Yes, Your Honor.

He was there at the time, so he was questioned on-site.

And Mr. Rohit corroborated Kamran's entire statement?

That's correct, Your Honor.

Everything has been documented in my report.

And what about the CCTV cameras?

How is it possible for such a wealthy man

not to have CCTV cameras in his house?

Inspector Shafiq,

did you investigate this matter thoroughly?

Your Honor,

I was rather surprised myself

when the accused, Kamran,

informed me that no CCTV cameras were installed at his residence.

I then conducted a detailed investigation,

and it turns out his claim is absolutely correct.

If you're both telling the truth,

then come on, show me the CCTV footage.

The CCTV footage?

The police took it with them as part of their investigation.

If there was anything on it,

don't you think I would have been arrested by now?

If there was nothing on it,

why did the police take it in the first place?

What's wrong with you, Kiran? Don't you get it?

The police took all the drives as evidence for the investigation.

They will prepare a report on them,

and, Kiran, even when that report is in my favour,

will you continue to doubt me?

Alright, you may step down.

Sir.

Your Honor, the accused Kamran's friend, Mr. Rohit, is present in court.

Are you generally this unpunctual,

or does an order from this court hold no importance in your eyes, Mr. Rohit?

I respect this Honorable Court.

And I sincerely apologize for my tardiness.

The court will now take a thirty-minute recess.

Mr. Rohit,

you will remain in the courtroom,

and you are not to speak with anyone.

All rise.

So, Rohit finally decided to testify for his friend after all.

I'm so sorry, Sehar.

I really tried.

But the Rohit I once knew seems to be long gone.

If that's the case, Manisha,

will you testify against Rohit that he confessed everything to you?

Yes, I'll testify.

But will my testimony be enough to discredit his?

It'll definitely cast some doubt.

After that, it's all up to the judge.

What is it, Sehar? Is everything alright?

The media keeps calling for interviews.

I'm thinking of just turning off my phone for a few days.

Kiran came to court today as well.

It doesn't look like she's here to support you.

She's not here to support me.

She's here for the show.

Anyway,

if Rohit has decided to ruin my life,

then let this whole circus play out in front of Kiran.

This must have been the fate of our friendship all along.

What do you think he'll say?

What do you think?

He's going to testify against me.

There's no way out of this, Mr. Bukhari.

It's all over.

Don't say that.

What am I here for? And remember,

there's always a way forward, right in front of us.

It's simply a matter of choosing whether to walk that path or not.

To save my own skin,

I'm willing to walk any path.

The question isn't whether you're prepared to walk the path.

The question is,

are you prepared to lose everything?

I don't understand.

What are you trying to say?

Don't question your lawyer.

Answer my question.

Just make sure I walk out of this with my name cleared.

That's it.

I don't care what else I lose.

As the saying goes, a life spared is a fortune earned.

At least your friend showed up at court.

Son, I have a missed call from Ali on my phone.

Please call him back and see what he wants.

Give that to me.

Here's some water.

Abrar, do me a favor.

Yes, madam?

Kamran's four servants...

Hmm?

I need you to pull their call histories and location data.

But isn't that information already in the police report?

Just pull it.

We can talk about it then.

Yes, of course.

Pardon, madam.

Go on and enjoy your tea and biscuits.

I have another matter to attend to.

That was a brilliant move.

As they say, you've simply knocked it out of the park.

What a performance.

You even won over Mr. Kamran's dearest friend.

What makes you so sure, Mr. Bukhari,

that Rohit will testify in Sehar's favor?

You don't think so?

I see.

Trying to gauge what Rohit will say, are you?

Let's just say that.

Why don't you save us all the suspense?

We're going to find out soon enough anyway.

You might as well just tell me now.

True. But just like you, I'll also find out in a little while.

You don't say.

Does this mean you've already lost?

Because in a few moments, Rohit is going to testify for Kamran,

and this whole thing will be over. Poof.

You still believe you're going to win this case?

I don't believe it. I'm certain of it.

And you're not just losing this case...

You have already lost.

You can't win the legal battle in court,

so you've come to play mind games with me, Mr. Bukhari?

You're mistaken.

I am fighting on both fronts, and I'm winning them too.

You're deluding yourself, Mr. Bukhari.

You are not fighting, and you are not winning.

We shall see.

We all shall certainly see...

The promised day...

etched in the stars since time began.

We shall see.

We all shall certainly see.

We shall see...

You turned out to be even more of a snake than I expected, Inspector Shafiq.

Sir.

You saw with your own two eyes

how the Judge was trying to set me up.

How is an honorable man like myself

supposed to stand a chance against all that?

Kamran's servants were poor, and you?

You're honorable.

Have any other excuses lined up? Go on, let's hear them.

Sir.

You'll see.

Sehar won't be able to win this case.

Forget about Sehar.

You should be worried about yourself.

What have I done, sir?

You lied. What else?

I lied?

I didn't lie about anything.

And that's the biggest lie of them all.

Sir, I swear I haven't lied.

Now you're swearing on a lie?

Sir, are you joking with me, or are you being serious?

I am joking, Inspector Shafiq.

But you would be wise to take my joke very seriously.

I don’t understand, sir.

Then help me understand why you used such dirty tricks.

Sir, what dirty tricks?

Still playing me for a fool?

Tell one more lie,

and I’ll make an example out of you for the entire department to see.

Sir, I swear on whatever you want.

I haven’t pulled any tricks.

I haven’t taken a single penny from Kamran, sir.

Funny. I don’t recall ever mentioning you taking money from Kamran.

Start counting your days, Inspector Shafiq.

Because it’s not just Kamran who’s going to end up behind bars now…

You will be joining him.

Mr. Rohit.

Ms. Sehar Moazzam alleges

that the accused, Kamran Haider,

raped her on January 2nd, 2025,

and you are the sole eyewitness to this incident.

According to her,

you can testify

that the accused planned this entire assault.

At first, he invited you for dinner,

then cancelled.

And so, he orchestrated this whole thing with meticulous planning.

Is Ms. Sehar’s accusation accurate?

Your friendship could only survive if I lose this case.

Then again, that’s an incredibly self-serving way to look at it, isn’t it?

Sehar, let’s be honest, aren’t we all being a little selfish right now?

You, me, and all of us.

At this point,

we’re all just trying to protect our own lives and our relationships.

Rohit, are you actually equating the abuser with the victim?

Is a criminal and a person seeking justice really the same thing in your eyes?

This will all be over, one way or another.

Whether Rohit testifies for you or against you.

He’s my best friend.

He won’t betray me.

I’m absolutely certain of it.

I’m leaving for now.

But I’m leaving with the faith

that whatever decision you make will be the right one.

Rohit.

This isn’t about choosing between Manisha, Kamran, or Sehar.

It’s about choosing between the truth and a lie.

Mr. Rohit, you were late to begin with.

How long will you take to answer?

Do you confirm or deny the accusation Ms. Sehar has made

against the accused, Kamran Haider?

Sehar’s accusation against Kamran…

Sehar’s accusation against Kamran is true.

I am a witness to the fact

that Kamran raped Sehar that night with meticulous planning.

When you arrived at the accused Kamran’s house,

what did you see?

Where is Sehar, Kamran?

Kamran, where’s Sehar?

Powder room. She’s in the powder room.

Did the accused, Kamran, state at that time that Sehar was lying?

No, he did not say that.

After that point, did the accused Kamran

ever deny this accusation in your presence?

No.

He never denied it.

Did Kamran confess this crime to you?

Yes, absolutely.

Kamran confessed his crime to me.

When you arrived at the accused Kamran’s house,

was Ms. Sehar injured?

Yes.

I saw bruises on Sehar’s face and neck.

And what was Mr. Kamran’s condition?

Kamran was frantic.

Like he’d committed some terrible crime.

Ms. Beenish, you may cross-examine the witness.

Mr. Rohit,

in the days following the incident,

what did the accused, Kamran, say to you?

He was afraid Sehar would go to the police or tell Kiran.

Your Honor, let the record reflect that point.

Mr. Rohit, on the night of the incident,

Kamran invited you as well, didn’t he?

So why didn’t you go?

Because Kamran had cancelled our plans earlier that day at the office.

He said Kiran wasn’t well

and was going to her parents’ place, so he was going with her.

Prior to this event,

had the accused Kamran ever spoken to you about Sehar?

Well, Kamran had mentioned to me several times that…

he really liked Sehar.

What did you say to that?

I told him it was wrong.

He’s a married man.

He is Sehar’s boss, and she is his employee.

This is wrong on every level.

But despite what you told him, the accused, Kamran, didn’t listen.

Am I right?

No, he didn’t.

In fact, one day I saw them arriving at the office together in Sehar’s car.

Sehar stormed out of the car in a rage,

and Kamran followed her.
