Original subtitles

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.

And where did you see this from?

From my office window.

And what happened after that?

Kamran told me he had invited Sehar to lunch by lying

that I would be joining as well.

Then later, he made up an excuse that I was tied up in an important meeting.

What did you say to the accused, Kamran, after he told you that?

I told him this sort of behavior is wrong.

He should be thinking about his company,

his wife, and his unborn child.

Mr. Rohit,

has the accused Kamran shown this kind of behaviour before?

Both before and after his marriage,

has he continued these affairs?

Look, I'm here to give testimony on this case.

I'm not here to discuss Kamran's past, so please.

You are not permitted to conceal anything in this court, Mr. Rohit.

All of my questions are pertinent to this case.

So please, tell me.

Is it true that the accused, Kamran,

has attempted to have affairs at the company in the past?

Please, Mr. Rohit.

Answer my question.

Remaining silent is not an option.

You must answer what you know with a yes or a no.

Yes, it's true.

Okay.

Tell me, Mr. Rohit,

on the day of the incident,

was any of the household staff present at the accused Kamran's house?

Only the guard, Dilawar.

So, has it ever happened before

that Kamran would host a gathering at his home with none of the staff present?

That's never happened.

The staff is always there.

Tell me, is my client Sehar’s allegation correct that,

after the incident, as she was leaving the house,

the guard tried to stop her?

Yes, that allegation is correct.

But when I yelled at him, he let Sehar go.

A point to be noted, Your Honor.

The accused, Kamran, gave all his staff the day off.

He lured Sehar to his house

under the pretense that his wife, Kiran, and Rohit would be there.

He then used Kiran's health as an excuse to turn Rohit away.

He dismissed the very staff he feared would report back to Kiran,

and then, he committed that heinous act.

The inconsistencies in the staff's testimonies prove exactly that, Your Honor.

Objection, Your Honor. This is pure speculation.

Fabricated stories meant to sway the court.

This is the testimony of the accused Kamran's best friend.

Your Honor,

this witness was intended for the defense, not the prosecution.

The defense itself withdrew his name from their list.

Mr. Bukhari, you'll have your chance to cross-examine Mr. Rohit.

Please be seated.

Continue, Ms. Beenish.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mr. Rohit, tell me.

Did the accused, Kamran, tell you

that he had bribed the police to botch the investigation

and destroy the evidence?

Yes, he did.

Did the accused Kamran's house have CCTV cameras installed?

Yes, it used to.

It used to?

Then where are those cameras and that footage now?

Kamran had them all replaced right after the incident.

Point to be noted, Your Honor.

Tell me, Mr. Rohit.

Did Inspector Shafiq ever interrogate you at Kamran's house?

No.

So, where were you interrogated then?

I was never interrogated at all.

Kamran just told me he'd given a statement to Inspector Shafiq on my behalf,

and that I had nothing to worry about

because he'd already bribed the inspector.

Mr. Rohit,

are you aware of the penalties for perjury?

Yes, I am aware.

That's all for today, Your Honor.

Mr. Bukhari.

Would you like to begin your cross-examination of Mr. Rohit today,

or shall we postpone the hearing until next week?

Yes, Your Honor.

I'd like to cross-examine Mr. Rohit today,

but before that, with your permission,

I request some time to speak with my client.

Very well.

The court will take a thirty-minute recess.

All rise.

Thank you, Rohit.

I'm so incredibly proud of you.

Thank you for what you did today.

Are you okay?

I am now.

A massive weight has finally been lifted from my heart.

Now I'm just worried about what's coming next.

Rohit, you told the truth.

I know you're under a lot of pressure,

but you're going to be fine.

I hope so.

I just don't know

what kind of questions Kamran's lawyer is going to hit me with.

He'll try to paint you as a liar.

I've been watching him from the start.

He lies.

He spins tales.

But one thing is for certain,

he will try to get a rise out of you.

He did the same thing to Saad.

He acted out, and Saad reacted.

Rohit, you cannot react.

Listen, why don't you talk to Beenish?

Ask her for some advice.

Well, I'm the one who has to answer his questions, so how's that going to help?

Look, I know.

But she's been dealing with him since day one.

There's no harm in asking for her advice.

Okay.

Let's go.

Okay.

Well, Shafiq?

Kamran’s lies are unraveling one by one.

It seems this chapter is nearing its end.

Rohit, thank you so much.

You have done a huge favor for me.

I know it must have been very difficult for you.

It was.

But I know I made the right decision.

Thank you, my boy.

Your testimony has made Sehar’s case much stronger.

I always used to tell Sehar that you're nothing like Kamran.

I'm glad you chose the truth over your friendship.

Thanks.

Rohit.

I could see yesterday that you were in a tight spot.

Very few people have the courage to do what you did today.

Thank you.

Auntie, what you told me really stuck with me.

You were absolutely right.

Justice shouldn't just be for the rich.

Just be prepared for Mr. Bukhari's questions, Rohit.

You're only prepared when you know what's coming.

Honestly, I have no idea what he's going to ask me.

Do you still have those messages Sehar sent you from Kamran's house?

Yes, I do. Why?

I have a feeling they'll come in handy.

What else should I expect?

Mr. Bukhari will challenge your testimony.

He'll throw every question he can at you.

You are a witness to the incident.

You have to stick to your statement, Rohit.

Also, try not to lose your temper.

He's going to ask questions specifically to provoke you.

He'll try to get a reaction out of you.

But please,

do not make the same mistake Saad did.

I won't.

Shame on you.

I can't believe what a liar you are.

What did I do? When did I lie?

Rohit's the one who's lying.

Oh, really? And I suppose Rohit removed

the CCTV cameras from the house, too?

Who removed the CCTV cameras?

When did that happen?

He's spouting utter nonsense, and you're actually believing him?

He's lying.

Actually,

he’s caved under Manisha’s pressure,

which is why he’s spouting all this nonsense.

Inspector Shafiq stated there were never any cameras installed at our house.

Rohit said you had the old cameras taken out and new ones installed.

But you told me the old cameras were still there

and that the police would be investigating the footage.

-Baby, I think you should... -Hold on.

Let me explain.

Ma'am Kiran, it's actually all part of my strategy.

You wouldn't understand.

It will all become clear to you soon enough.

When I start cross-questioning Mr. Rohit,

you will see how the truth comes to light.

Rohit has already testified against Kamran,

and I know he wouldn't tell such a massive lie.

Yeah. Rohit...

Can anything still be done?

Even at this stage?

The time has come to slaughter your friend.

I mean, to justify the fee you've paid me.

-Please, come. -Sure.

Let's go.

Mr. Rohit Bhagwant.

I hope I've pronounced your name correctly.

Yes, you have.

Mr. Rohit, you've been a friend to my client, Kamran,

for the past fourteen years, and a business partner for ten.

That's right.

Then why did you lie about your friend and business partner?

I haven't told any lies.

-Whatever I said was the absolute truth. -No, you didn't.

What you did was state what you saw and called it the truth.

Because what I saw was the truth.

No, Mr. Rohit.

You relayed what you saw, and you called it the truth.

What's that supposed to mean?

What is there to tell that is not already clear?

Still, I suppose I can elaborate. I'll explain everything in just a bit.

You accused my client, Kamran Haider,

of meticulously planning and raping Sehar.

Because that's exactly what happened.

Then what are your plans for the business?

What do you mean?

The KKR company.

What kind of future do you envision for it?

Mr. Bukhari, why are you wasting the court's time?

How is his business relevant to this case?

Sir, there's a very deep connection.

A very profound connection, in fact. I'll prove it, sir.

Alright then. Proceed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

So, Mr. Rohit,

K. K. R.,

which stands for Kamran, Kiran, and Rohit's company.

What future do you see for it?

That we'll remain the number one textile company

and continue to expand.

We will expand, or will I expand? And by I, I mean you, of course.

The three of us are equal partners, Mr. Bukhari.

Where I end, and we begin, is the same here.

No, no, no. See, you might know your business,

but your math seems a little off here.

Look.

My client, Mr. Kamran, and Ms. Kiran

are now bound in holy matrimony. They are husband and wife. Right?

So they've become one, you could say.

You see what I mean, right?

Now that the two of them are one,

they are now partners holding a two-thirds share. Am I right?

That's not how our company is run, Mr. Bukhari.

You should come to the office sometime.

I've heard your company won't be running like that for much longer anyway,

but I am not interested in the details of how your company runs.

I just want to introduce you,

or rather, re-introduce you to a little fact,

Mr. Rohit Bhagwant.

Your share in the company is no longer equal,

but in fact, it's... minuscule.

Alright, I'll grant you that.

But what difference does that make?

Such impatience.

Haste makes waste, they say.

We'll get there.

What's the hurry? Let's savor this.

Mr. Bukhari, you and I may have all the time in the world,

but this court's time is precious.

Mr. Bukhari, get to the point.

The court's time is indeed very precious.

Yes, Your Honor.

I must say, you're a very smart man, Mr. Rohit.

I know, Mr. Bukhari. Thank you very much.

Order.

Mr. Rohit, why did you give a statement to the police saying

that Ms. Sehar's accusation was false?

I've said it before. I didn't give a statement.

Kamran gave one on my behalf.

I never even spoke to Inspector Shafiq.

Huh?

So innocent?

So naive and clueless like a little kid?

Are you telling me Kamran just offered you a piece of candy

and you went along with whatever he said? Is that it?

I buckled under Kamran's pressure.

But you later realized that Kamran was in the wrong, didn't you?

Yes.

And yet, you chose to remain a silent spectator.

Unfortunately, that's what I did.

You're well aware, Mr. Rohit,

that you could have been

the prosecution's star witness for Ms. Sehar.

You could have gotten her justice. So why didn't you?

-My conscience was asleep at the time. -What?

-My conscience was asleep at the time. -And now it has woken up?

Yes, it has.

Well, it certainly took its sweet time, didn't it?

Now that your conscience has finally woken up,

what's its price?

What do you mean?

No, I intend no disrespect.

What I mean is that the price of your conscience

should at least equal my client Kamran’s shares in the company,

don’t you agree?

Objection, Your Honor.

The defense counsel is asking irrelevant questions

and making personal attacks.

Your Honor, just give me a moment.

Soon enough, the prosecution counsel will find my questions entirely relevant,

and my words, hardly an attack.

All right, Mr. Bukhari. But please get to the point quickly.

Yes, Your Honor.

You may sit down.

Mr. Rohit, did my client, Kamran Haider,

ever act dishonestly in his business dealings?

No. Never.

Meaning you consider him an honest, noble business partner?

That's right.

And in all your business matters, did he ever lie?

No. Not to my knowledge.

So, a man who has never lied in business dealings worth millions,

are you now accusing him of being a liar and having secret affairs?

How can you do that?

What do those two things have to do with each other?

Oh, but they do. They absolutely do, sir.

A man with no character shows his true colors in every aspect of his life.

Have you ever had an affair, Mr. Bukhari?

What?

I mean, have you ever cheated on your wife? Betrayed her?

I'm the one who's supposed to ask the questions here.

But for your information,

I am deeply in love with my wife,

and anyone who knows me will testify to that.

Then anyone who knows you will also testify to this

that you're willing to tell any lie

and make any false accusation just to win a case.

Mind you!

Mr. Rohit, restrict yourself to answering the questions.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Let's take a deep breath.

Tell me, Mr. Rohit,

that night when you went to Kamran Haider's house,

did you see the rape happen with your own eyes?

I did.

What did you see?

That night, when I arrived at Kamran's house,

his guard, Dilawar, refused to open the gate.

I had to shout at him and force him to open the gate.

Sir, I swear there's no one inside.

When I went inside, I saw that Sehar...

Sehar was lying on the floor, injured.

And Kamran was standing right there.

That's quite the story.

You've laid out the details very well.

How you entered, how she was on the floor, all of it.

But Mr. Rohit, all of this is the aftermath, isn't it?

Which means you didn't actually see the assault itself.

Or should I say, not with your own eyes?

If that's true, then why would Kamran's guard,

who knows me very well,

try to stop me from going inside that night?

But who saw that happen?

Who can corroborate your story?

This is just your version of events, isn't it?

I wish there had been a witness that night.

But Kamran had given all his staff the day off.

How do you know that?

How could you know the staff had the day off?

Because no one else was at the house.

So let me get this straight.

You saw no staff in the house.

This is a bit of a stretch.

Because you didn't see any staff, you just assumed they were on leave.

Well, if they were home, I would have seen them, wouldn't I?

So, since you didn't see any staff,

you concluded they were on leave.

Out of sight, out of mind. Is that it?

Hold on.

Did you leave the lounge and go into any other rooms that night?

No.

Did you ask for something to eat or drink?

Were you served anything?

No.

Mr. Rohit, just because you didn't see the staff at the house,

that doesn't mean they were given the day off.

Listen, Mr. Kamran and Ms. Sehar had dinner.

The staff served them, finished their duties,

and then retired for the night.

Are you aware that the staff were home?

It's a fact confirmed by their mobile phone locations.

They were at the house, Mr. Rohit.

They're lying. They were not in the house.

I'm telling you plainly.

This information is already known to the court, Your Honor.

Please believe me, Mr. Rohit, I'm applying my mind here.

I am trying to understand.

Let's just summarize.

You didn't witness an assault,

but you claim one happened.

You didn't leave the main room.

You didn't see any staff,

so you claim they weren't there.

Is that correct?

Yes. So what about the CCTV cameras, Mr. Bukhari?

The CCTV cameras that Kamran had taken down after the incident.

Why did he destroy the footage afterwards?

Mr. Rohit, the police report states quite clearly that my client, Mr. Kamran,

had no CCTV cameras in his house.

Everyone knows he had CCTV cameras there,

which Kamran took down afterwards.

Let me count. One, two, and three.

Three things.

This is the third thing

that you claim you didn't see, but you insist was there, or happened.

Your Honor, I have a picture on my phone

taken inside Kamran's house,

and it clearly shows a CCTV camera.

Well, Mr. Rohit, you've certainly come prepared.

Did you have the pictures photoshopped as well?

It's not photoshopped, Mr. Bukhari.

The picture is real. You can have it verified, Your Honor.

Show me the picture.

Your Honor, may I have a look at the picture with your permission?

Sure.

Here. Take a look.

There's a CCTV camera visible in the background.

Yes, but here, as you can see,

Kiran, Kamran, Mr. Rohit, and Manisha are all in the picture.

Therefore, Your Honor, it's possible this photo was taken after the incident,

seeing as Mr. Kamran has installed CCTV cameras in his house now.

Your Honor, as I said earlier, you can have this verified.

The picture is authentic.

It's saved on my phone with a date and time stamp.

You may verify this through an official investigation.

Oh, there will be an investigation, you can be sure of that.

And this fabrication will be exposed.

But before that, Your Honor,

I would like to submit some evidence.

Yes. Please proceed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Your Honor, these documents contain all the details.

The shop that supplied and installed the CCTV cameras,

the date, and the time. Everything is attached.

Objection, Your Honor.

These receipts could be forgeries from any shop.

The date could easily have been backdated.

What kind of evidence is this?

I anticipated that a lawyer as astute as Ms. Beenish

would raise such a perceptive point.

That’s why, Your Honor, if you take a look,

you’ll see that the payment was made via credit card,

and the transaction receipt is also attached.

And Ms. Beenish, forging a credit card receipt is impossible,

as I’m sure you know.

Your Honor.

I want every single CCTV camera in this house ripped out, wiring and all.

Yes, sir. I’ll go and call an electrician right now.

No, no, no. You are not calling an electrician.

You and Shakoor will do it yourselves.

No one can find out about this, understand?

Alright, sir.

But if we take down the cameras,

then the entire responsibility for security will fall on me, sir.

If the cameras aren’t removed,

I will go to jail,

and you will go with me.

You’ll have all the security you could want in there.

Do you want to go to jail?
