NAGPUR, MAHARASHTRA

Tea? Snacks?

Tea? Tea?

Tea? Tea?

Piping-hot tea?

Tea? Tea?

Tea? Tea?

Want some tea?

Want some tea?

Give me that bag. I'll keep it here.

Brother... I want to sit here.

No. Go sit there.

I want to sit here only.

This is my seat. You go sit there.

Umma...

Hey, kids! You want biscuits?

You want biscuits?

Ten rupees.

I want to sit here.

You go sit there.

Ticket?

Ticket?

You have it, right?

- His ticket?
- He's not five yet.

He looks older than five.

No. He isn't five yet.

No, no. He is definitely older than five.

No, he isn't.

Pathu...

Umma... Pathu!

Pathu... Where's our daughter?

Sweetie!

Pathu!

Pathu!

Did you see my daughter?

Did you see my daughter?

Pathu?

My child...

Pathu!

PART ONE
AJEEB RAHMAN - OFFICER ON PROBATION

Don't forget to bring the notes
you dictated last week.

- I won't!
- I need to finish them today.

Yeah, I'll bring them.

Listen... Policeman is up.

- Hang up then.
- Alright.

What happened?

Why so sluggish today?

Aren't you going to the station today?

What's wrong? Aren't you feeling well?

Didn't sleep well.

Let me guess.

You dreamt about Pathu, didn't you?

This is nothing new, Ajeeb.

How long has it been?

She must be living happily somewhere.

Let's just believe that.

Don't ruin your morning
worrying about all this.

Go get ready quickly.

You have parade today, right?

Oh, by the way,

I'll be late today.
Could you pick me up from the bookstall?

Is it okay if I come after my shift?

Will you come or make me wait as usual?

What kind of question is that?

Have I ever made you wait?

Hmmm...

I'm used to it by now.

Yes, sir.
We're preparing for the parade here.

How are you feeling now, sir?

Is that so?

Get well soon, sir.

I always get to know
everything from you first.

It was the SHO who called.

The doctor advised a month's rest for him.

I suspect someone
must have done this intentionally.

No, that's highly unlikely.

Luckily no vehicle came from
the opposite direction.

By the way, the Thalassery SHO is
taking charge of this station for a month.

Leelamma, make it quick.

Yes, sir.

The last vehicle has arrived!

Okay, whatever.

Hey, the tailor you mentioned yesterday...

He's really good.

The blouse he stitched yesterday
was perfect.

Didn't I tell you he's good?

Oh, was he the one you were talking about?

But his charges are quite high.

I'll be right there.

No, I won't be late.

Ajeeb sir is here.

Let's get ready for the parade.

Ajeeb, you know we've parade on Fridays.

If we're late,
won't the constables learn from that?

- Sorry, sir.
- Where your cap?

- I'll go get it right now.
- Go get it.

So, about the parade--

Sir, shall I go and come?

Yes. Return immediately
once the hospital visit is done.

Okay.

Parade.

Attention!

Officers, fall out.

Parade.

Stand at ease.

Sir, shouldn't we dispatch
the traffic duty officers?

We will.

Tressing by the right.

Do it properly, Sunil.

As you are.

Tressing by the right.

- Fathima, Shafeeq.
- They're calling us.

Come in.

Haven't they called?

You were supposed to come
before the test?

Ah, so it's over?

It's over. Where were you?

Since you can't travel by bike,
I went home to get the car.

I swear. That's why I'm late, my dear.

Please let it be positive this time, Lord.

Molly Joy.

- They called. Let's go.
- Okay.

Usually, the success rate is
90% after this treatment.

But...

I am sorry.

Your test results are not positive.

Is there any specific reason for it?

Age is a factor.

But in some cases,
it can still turn positive.

Don't worry.

We'll continue the treatment.

Let's wait for three months.

Her haemoglobin level is slightly low.

And there's a Vitamin D deficiency too.

Anyway, I'm prescribing some medicines.

Take them.

Let's see how it goes.
I'll see you during your next check-up.

- Okay, Doctor.
- Alright, then.

Did you pick up the clothes
from the laundry?

Oh no, I forgot about it.

You always forget everything!

Don't pinch! It hurts!

Don't we have to pick it up?

We'll pick it up on the way.

Oh Lord...

the way she tortures me
for every little thing!

Sir...

We have two children.

A son and a daughter.

Our daughter is in Bhopal.

With her husband.

Since the last several months,

our son has been forcing us
to sell our house.

And yesterday, over this issue,

he ended up beating him up, sir.

Sir, where will we go
if we sell that house?

Please call and talk to him, sir.

Don't worry.

We will sort this out.

Madhu sir...

Madhu sir...

My name is Madhu.

Yes...

Listen, how do you say
'I'll call later' in Hindi?

- Who knows!
- You don't know either?

I will... call you after some time.

What the...

My...

Police station... is outside...

Madhu sir.

- Give me the phone.
- Sorry, sir.

Get a written complaint from them.

I'll look into this.

- Come with me.
- Hello.

[In Hindi] I am the SI. Tell me.

Manoj,
get their complaint in writing, okay?

Note down the number.

Belluru?

Burnt body...

Man missing.

Tell me the case number.

Okay.

83/23.

Age?

Dharmadom?

Alright. We'll contact you
if we get any information.

Okay.

- Madhu sir...
- Yes, sir.

There are more people from other states
than Malayalis now.

You'll struggle
if you don't learn some Hindi now.

Renjith...

- Look into the details of that case.
- Okay, sir.

- Sir.
- Get the vehicle.

Sir.

- Sir, are you done?
- Yes, sir.

Then please help them into that vehicle.

They will drop you home, okay?

Alright.

Never arrive on time, okay?

Something came up
just when I was about to leave.

Isn't it like this every time?

Get on. We'll go home and fight.

- Where did you go at this hour?
- Just for a ride, sir.

- What's in the bike?
- Nothing.

- Where are the papers?
- I've got them, sir.

- Have you smoked weed, man?
- No sir, I don't smoke.

- Have you?
- No, sir.

- Are you telling the truth?
- Maybe.

Show me your license.

- Well sir, I forgot...
- Go tell that to the SI.

- Go on.
- Sir, please...

Move it, man!

Joy sir...

Sir!

Sleeping like a log!

What is it, Renjith?

Sir, they aren't drunk.

But something feels off about them.

- What are you guys up to?
- Nothing...

If so, couldn't you just sit at home?
Where did you go?

We just stepped out for a tea, sir.

What do you guys do?

Sir... he is a film actor.

- Yes, sir.
- Who, him?

- In which movie?
- "Dhurandham" (Disaster).

There's no such film, sir.

It's yet to be released, sir.

Why don't you call yourself an actor
after it releases?

That would've been better.

Anyway, get out of here
before this turns into a real disaster.

Get their number and details
and let them go.

Alright, sir.

Hello, this is the police station.

Where?

Exhale deeply and try stretching

- your entire body forward.
- Oh, my goodness...

Once more,
stretch a little further forward.

I'm trying... I'm trying...
It's my stomach.

Once this reduces a bit, I can do it.

- I've started walking now.
- A bit more.

I'll do it...

Thank God for the bell!

Teacher, it's from the station.
I'll do it tomorrow.

Sir, we got an information.

Someone called about a dead body
in an abandoned well at Koduvally.

Dead body?

- Man or woman?
- Don't know, sir.

- Do you have the location?
- Yes, sir.

Who all are at the station now?

Only night-duty officers are here.

Take whoever's there
and head to the spot.

Okay, sir.

Call me once you reach there
and update me.

I'll join you once
I'm done with the daily reporting.

Okay, sir.

What a day to start!

Wonder whose face I saw first this morning.

It must be Teacher's.
Who else?

PART TWO
SHOBHA - THE VICTIM

It's packed with people here.

We'll clear them out, sir.

Move away.

Step back.

Move aside, everyone.

- Step aside.
- Come on, move!

- Make way for , sir.
- Move!

Sir.

Move everyone back.

Please step back, all of you.

I...

I'll call Nandakumar , sir.

Okay.

Looks like it's been two or three days.

Move.

Sir, body is in the well.

And?

It's very deep.

- Did you inform the fire force?
- Not yet, sir.

Then you get down and bring it up!

Sir...

- Call the fire force. Quick.
- Okay, sir.

Don't you know these basic things?

Ajeeb, use your head.
Do what's needed.

Call the photographer too.

Okay, sir.
I'll call them right away.

P20 mobile control room.

Dharmadom PS answering.

Good morning, sir.

Over.

Sir, seventeen cases have been reported.

Four suo moto cases have been taken.

Under 185, six cases have been registered.

As you can see,
we are at the scene of the incident.

We will soon find out
if this was a suicide or an accident.

- Sir.
- Hi, sir.

It's a woman's body.

It's quite decomposed.

Move... Move...

Media, to the side.

Move back!

Please stay back.

Don't crowd around.
Move back.

Hold it.

Can't you hear?

- Tighten it... Hold on...
- Move, move.

- Move back!
- Step back...

- Sir...
- Okay, sir.

Sir... Are you okay?

- I'm okay, I'm okay...
- Here...

It's because it's your first time, sir.

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Sir, since it's a female body,
we'll need woman officers.

They're coming with Nandakumar , sir.

Move everyone back.

We'll need a screen for the inquest, right?

Move the people away
and line up the vehicles around.

Okay, sir.
Everyone, back up!

Sir, can you call the photographer?

Move aside.

Don't push... Move... Keep moving.

Move over there.

Everyone to the side.

- What's happening, Ajeeb?
- We've called the photographer.

He'll be here soon.

It's a woman's body, sir.
Looks like it's a few days old.

Stay back.

Don't come this side.

What a stench...

Move.

Don't stand around.
Keep moving.

- Where were you?
- Had a Save-the-date shoot, sir.

Go on.

Greetings, sir.

Quick. Take the pictures.

Sir, the ambulance is almost here.

Sir, we're leaving.

Work's done.

- Alright, sir. See you.
- Okay, then.

Jose, take the breadth.

Look at Joy.
He knows the work.

Sir.

Watch and learn.

Note it down.
Make a sketch too.

Now take the length.

Hold it away.

Now the head part.

Take a picture of it.

Okay, sir.

Move aside.
Close the door.

Enough, Ajeeb.
It's been so long.

You've been doing this
since you got back.

Stop it.

No matter how much I wash,

the smell won't go.

Let me see.

Right?

No... nothing.

You're imagining it.
There's no smell.

Who's that now?

I'll check.

Ah, look who's here!

Please come in..

What brings you here at this hour?

Got something for you.
Go on, give it.

- What's this?
- Biryani.

I'm not bragging...

No one makes biriyani like she does.

You needn't flatter me.

Here.

Oh, but we already made dinner.

That's alright.
Have it tomorrow.

But don't miss 'Molly' biriyani.

Did Uppa eat?

Since he has medicines to take,
he eats early.

Sir... 'Molly' Biryani for you!

Why are you standing?
Please sit.

We brought some biryani.

Smells amazing.

I don't want...
I can't eat anything now.

What happened to him?

Don't ask. He's been like this
since he got back from the station.

Didn't even have his tea.

- Oh, dear...
- Ah...

- Now I get it.
- Hello, sir?

It'll pass after a while.

Eventually, he'll get used to it.

Shall we go?

- Alright, then goodnight.
- Bye.

Oh, okay.

That's fine, sir.
I'll be right there.

I need to go to the station.

What? You're going now?

Don't you ever get any rest?

No rest for a probationary SI.

Can you make me a lime tea?

- Okay.
- I'll get ready and come.

Ajeeb...

No one has identified the body yet.

Since it's a woman's body,

we can't just file it under Section 174
and close the case.

What did the doctor say after the inquest?

Sir, according to the inquest,
it's death by drowning.

There are no signs of
struggle or sexual assault on the body.

Prima facie, it is likely to be a suicide.

Chances are no one will come
looking for her.

Even so,
shouldn't someone identify the body?

What language is this?

Telugu?

It's Kannada, sir.

We need to check
all the recent missing women cases

reported in our district.

Sir.

Tomorrow, conduct an inquiry
around that area.

Take Joy or someone else along
depending on their duty.

Alright, sir.

I checked the missing
women cases in the district,

nothing matches this one.

We have a lot of Tamilians, Bengalis,
and Kannadigas living here.

Their missing cases often go unreported.

Since there are no complainants,
it's possible she was a nomad.

Didn't you notice the tattoo on her arm?

And, isn't this an area where nomads stay?

I thought we could ask around,
but there's no one in sight.

Please stop the vehicle, sir.

Ustad, please come here.

We are from the Dharmadom police station.

What's the matter, sir?

Do you live nearby?

Yes, barely half a kilometre from here.

Ustad...

Do you know any of the nomads

or migrant workers living around here?

I don't know them personally.

When I go to the mosque
for the morning prayers,

I hear a lot of commotion.

And when I return at night,
I've seen their children playing.

Alright then.

Okay, sir.

Let's go.

Family Health Centre.

Kolassery.

Sir, the list will be ready only
after the polio vaccine is distributed.

Currently we're conducting
the awareness program.

ASHA workers and Anganwadi staff
are the ones handling that part.

Okay.

One minute, sir.

Prameela...

Yes?

I'll be right back.

Prameela, this is our station SI.

What is it, sir?

Do you collect the details of
everyone in this area

as part of the polio drive?

Yes, sir.

Right now, we are collecting
the details of those who have children.

What about the migrants from other states?

We collect theirs too.

I need those details.

Here it is, sir.

Most of these people in the list
live in Koduvally area.

All the details are in here.

Alright.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Alright, sir.

How is your CI now?

They said he'll have to rest
until his arm heals.

- What happened to that 174 case?
- Under investigation, sir.

Since they are nomads,
we haven't gotten much info yet.

I already have enough headache here.

You know that, right?

You are on probation, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

Nandakumar, let him handle this then.

Sir.

Just monitor it.

Sir.

If there's anything to sign or approve,
let me know.

- Alright, sir.
- Okay.

Have you been waiting for long, sir?

No, I just got here.

Joy sir...

If you cover this side,
I'll take care of the rest.

Do you know anything about the nomad woman
who died here recently?

How long have you been staying here?

Three years.

Anybody from Karnataka living here?

- Don't know, sir.
- What do you do?

What do you do?

I am a daily wage worker.

Any Kannadigas living here
who are into construction work?

Are you staying here? Since when?

They live there.

Oh, is that so?

Sir.

Sir, this is where they live.

Hello.

I am the SI of the local station.

My name is Ajeeb.

What is your name?

Durga.

How long have you been staying here?

Around six months, sir.

And your native?

Virajpet.

Are you aware a woman's body
was found here recently?

I heard everyone talking about it, sir.

Everyone was talking about it,
that's when I found out.

Did you know her?

No, sir.

I saw you lingering around the spot

where the body was found that day.

Tell us the truth.

Don't you know the dead woman?

No, sir.

Why are you lying?

The thing is, sir...
my younger sister got a job in Dubai.

Everyone here warned that

if there's a police case,
it will be difficult to get the visa.

Out of that fear...

Let the truth come out,

I'll show you what Dubai is.

What was her name?

- Shobha.
- Shobha?

How do you know her?

I met her when I went to work
at a construction site.

Do you know where Shobha was staying?

I don't know, sir.

What else do you know about her?

Shobha has two children.

I saw them once
when she brought them to our work site.

Also, she mentioned once that

her husband was working
somewhere near Tumkur.

Do you know
her or her husband's phone number?

No, sir.

Here...

For us...

If you want to know more than this,

we have an agent who gives us jobs.

Sibu settan.

Who? Huh?

Sibu settan.

Where can we find this "Sibu settan" now?

Sir, there's a new building
under construction near the bus stand.

He'll be there.

If we find out that you're lying,

you will be summoned to the station.

Understood?

One more thing.

Do you know what this tattoo says?

Read it out.

Raju.

Sir, you really scared the life out of her.

This is how we survive in this job.

Can you recognise who this is, Shibu?

Looks like Shobha, sir.

How do you know her?

She used to come to the site for work, sir.

When was the last time you saw her?

Must be around 10 days ago, sir.

How can you be so sure that
it's been exactly 10 days?

We started working at this site
only a week ago, sir.

She last came to work
at our previous site.

What happened to her, sir?

Do you have Shobha's phone number?

Shobha doesn't own a phone, sir.

Then how do you call her for work?

She usually shows up at the site
in the morning.

On days there is work, she finishes it,
collects her wages and leaves.

So there's never a need to call them, sir.

It was her husband
who first brought her for work.

Do you know him?

I don't really know him, sir.

What does he do?

He told me
he does something in movies, sir.

Movies?

I don't exactly remember.

Could he be a film actor?

Have you seen this tattoo on her arm?

I haven't noticed.

Do you know what's written here?

What language is this, sir?

Where is Shobha's house?

There's a railway line
slightly west of Koduvally.

She lives in some wasteland area
just past that.

Unlock your phone and give it to me.

The last dialled number is mine.

I'll call you if I need anything.

Okay, sir.

Sir...

Her husband's name is Raju.

The well where the body was found is
right nearby, isn't it?

Yeah, it's close by.

Didn't Durga say that Shobha had two kids?

But I don't see
any of their belongings or clothes here.

Pathu, my child!

Pathu!

Sir...

Look, I found a photo.

The kids are in it too.

So this must be Shobha.

Mohan sir...

How long will it take
to get the postmortem report?

Sir, the report gets generated
the same day.

Usually, the delay is in
getting the document typed.

In normal cases,
we'd get it within 2-3 weeks.

If we keep pushing them,
they'll give it within a week.

Is it about that nomad woman's case?

Yeah, that one.

My dear sir,
there's no point running after that.

There are no complainants or witnesses
in this case.

Even for cases which have these,
we're unable to finish the paperwork.

- Let alone this.
- Alright.

Sir, someone's here to see you.
His name is Shibu.

- Yeah, send him in.
- Come on in.

- Sir...
- Yeah, come in.

Have a seat.

Why did you call for me, sir?

Take a look and tell me who this is.

This is Shobha, sir.

So, who are these people?

Isn't he a film actor, sir?

Not him,
who are the ones standing with him?

That's Shobha's family, sir.

You mean Shobha's husband and kids.
Correct?

Yes, sir.

So is this the Raju you mentioned?

Yes.

Alright, you may go.

- I'll call you again if needed.
- Alright, sir.

Since it's confirmed that
the body is Shobha's,

what about her family?

Any relatives?

Sir, she has two kids.

They are currently missing.

And her husband
works in movies or something.

He only visits occasionally.

His name is Raju, right?

Yes, sir.

Shouldn't he be informed?

Do we have his address or phone number?

It's been long since anyone saw him, sir.

Doesn't seem like they were together.

We found a photo
when we searched Shobha's house.

A family photo.

The studio details are on it.

Good. Then do one thing.

Go there.

- If you find him, bring him here.
- Sir.

Let's find out what he has to say.

We also need to move the body
out of the mortuary soon.

Yes, sir.

You're going to another state.
Don't take any risks.

Take someone experienced along with you.

I'll take Joy sir with me, sir.

Eh? Me?

Yeah, that settles it.

- Start the vehicle.
- But... I...

Sir...

It would have been helpful
if we could get the postmortem report soon.

That liaison at the medical college...
What's his name?

Antony.

Yes. Antony.

I'll call and inform him.

Sir.

Was there really any need
to drag me into this?

Sir, you have so many years of experience.

Let's just go, sir.

So how are we travelling?
Shall we book a train?

No need, can't we just go by bus?

Man, wouldn't that be a huge detour?

We'll have to switch 2-3 buses.

It's fine,
we can enjoy the scenery along the way.

- You want tea, sir?
- Yeah.

- Make it strong.
- Make it two.

PART THREE
RAJU - THE HUSBAND

Okay.

What did they say, sir?

They said
they'll assign two policemen to assist us.

[In Kannada]
Was this photo was taken here?

Yes, sir.

Do you know them?

Well... not personally.

They might be from Chitrahalli.

Usually, people from there
come here to take family photos.

What's wrong, sir?

They can't identify them, sir.

They may be from Chitrahalli village.

Ask if he knows this man.

Do you know him?

He's our Kiccha Sudeep, sir.

No, no, no.

I'm asking if you know this man. This guy.

No, sir.

Okay.

That village he said,

Chitrahalli... how far is it?

It's approximately around
3 kilometres from here.

♪ Beside the emerald fringes
of the paddy fields ♪

♪ Forged in the golden breath
of the midday sun ♪

♪ Beside the emerald fringes
of the paddy fields ♪

♪ Forged in the golden breath
of the midday sun ♪

♪ Walking all alone,
I just can't seem to reach ♪

♪ That little patch of shade
beneath the mango tree ♪

♪ Won't you come and sit by my side? ♪

Let us share a few sweet words

It's quite cold, isn't it, sir?

- Vivek , sir.
- Yes, sir.

Just show that man this photo.

Sir...

Sir... could you give me a light?

Maybe ask the tea maker also.

Do you recognise anyone in this photo?

Do you know this man?

- Sir, they're leaving.
- This is our--

Is it? Give it.

Raju.

My ancestors were from Tamil Nadu, sir.

To make a living,

we moved with our family
to Devanahalli in Karnataka.

Our hereditary trade is

making dolls and toys.

There were many people like us over there.

All of them had come from Tamil Nadu.

This was hereditary trade for all of them.

I'll go buy two bottles of water.

- Keep an eye on him.
- Okay.

How long has it been
since you married Shobha?

Ten years.

Where did you first meet her?

A few years ago,

our village was hit by a massive flood.

After that,

a few families like ours

relocated to Bydakotta.

It was on a bus to Bydakotta

when I first saw Shobha.

After that,

we kept running into each other
in our village...

At the temple, the market, and elsewhere.

We got married.

And had two kids.

Shobha, is everything ready?

Quick.

Come on.

Due to lack of rains,

we couldn't continue our trade
and we were left with nothing.

No one was interested in
buying our dolls, sir.

Our business started falling apart.

We were drowning in poverty.

We didn't know what else to do

so we decided to find another job.

We moved from Bydakotta to Chitrahalli.

That's where I met Ganeshan.

Who's this Ganeshan?

He's a distant relative of Shobha's.

He's the one who found us a place to stay.

Ganeshan also got me a job

in films through an art director he knew.

Want water?

Okay, continue.

I leave for work early in the morning

and return late at night, sir.

I get to see my kids only once a week.

Our happy family

slowly started having small issues

which later turned into big ones.

I have a drinking habit.

I can see that.

Ganeshan was like family to us.

He was very fond of my kids.

Stop here.

- Ride safe.
- You go safe, man.

Behave yourself.

And then one night,

when I...

got home from work.

Stop it.

Give him some water, sir.

Hey!

Don't cry.

It's okay... Drink up.

I never wanted

to see him in our lives again.

So I decided to move away from him.

My wife, kids, and I

moved to Koduvally.

But...

He...

followed us there too, sir.

You said you wanted to go somewhere.

But how can I leave now?

It's getting late.

I couldn't take...

any more humiliation, sir...

So I took my kids

and came back to my hometown.

Show me...

Sir...

Sir...

Raju...

Are you sure this is Shobha?

Sir...

This is my Shobha, sir...

- Close it.
- My Shobha...

She left me, sir...

- Let's step outside.
- Sir...

Get up... Let's go out and talk.

Sir...

Come on... Don't cry.

Let's talk outside.

Come...

Raju, when did you last see Shobha?

The last time I saw her was

when I left for my hometown with my kids.

Do you know why Shobha killed herself?

Must be because of that scoundrel.

He must've abandoned her.

Where are your children?

At my sister's house.

- Where's that?
- Bellooru.

"Since we were living separately

and as I do not wish to take

the body to my hometown,

I request you to
make the necessary arrangements

to cremate the body here itself."

If you've read it and agree, sign here.

Here.

Alright, sir.

- Bye, sir.
- Alright.

Come.

Sir.

What's happening, Ajeeb?

He has identified the body
as Shobha's, sir.

He doesn't want to take the body home.

He says the kids
shouldn't see her like this.

Do you have money to get back?

Are you sure he isn't directly involved?

As of now,
we don't have any evidence against him.

Raju said that when he left with the kids,

that other guy was still with her, right?

- What was his name?
- Ganeshan.

Find out his whereabouts.

We need to know what role he had in this.

Okay, sir.

It's alright, sir.

I can manage.

Sir, I'll somehow make it back.

Keep it.

No need, sir.

- Why, sir?
- Keep it.

Anyway, since the husband
has identified the body,

we can proceed with the burial.

- Did you get his signature on the papers?
- Yes.

Does he have his Aadhaar card
or ration card with him?

What documents would a man
with no address have, right?

Then make the arrangements
at the public crematorium.

Alright, sir.

Raju.

If you get any information about Ganeshan,

make sure you let us know.

Okay, sir.

Go on.

You're listening to Gazals and studying?

Yes.

His songs have a different mood.

Everything I study
gets into my head very fast.

Are all IAS aspirants like this?

Yeah, we're all like that.

Walk on.

How come you're back early today?

I just got back from work travel, right?

- Did Uppa's reports come?
- Yeah.

The doctor said there's improvement.

When are your parents coming?

They said they'll stay a few more days

after my sister's delivery.

What will they do here anyway?

Looks like they'll come
only next month now.

I'm just...

going to freshen up and head out.

Got a couple of things to take care of.

Coming?

No... I need to finish my notes.

Okay.

Tea?

If you're making, yes.

Then I will.

- Hi, sir.
- New probationary SI, right?

- Yes, sir.
- Shivakumar told me about you. Sit.

According to the report,

the cause of death is blockage in the lungs

caused by water and mud from the well.

- Okay.
- But...

for this to be accidental...

I mean...

I don't think she fell into the well
while conscious.

Why makes you say that, sir?

See...

When a person falls into a well,

even if they are pushed,

while they're conscious,

their body instinctively gasps for air.

Okay.

In that situation,

the lungs...

would contain a lot more water.

But here,
the amount of water is quite normal.

- Sir?
- Get the report.

Okay, sir.

There's also an injury
on the back of her head.

Maybe she struck her head

while falling into the well.

Or someone may have

hit her from behind.

If that's the case,

someone may have attacked her

before she fell into the well.

Sir, are you suggesting
it could be a murder?

See...

I'm only saying a possibility exists.

The rest is for the police to investigate.

Here's the report.
Everything's in there.

Where is Nandakumar , sir?

He's gone on escort for the minister.

You please wait.

Sir will call you in.

The number can't be reached right now.

The number can't be reached right now.

Please try later.

Sir.

Some people are here to see you.

Please ask them to wait, sir.

But , sir...

They said they're the relatives
of the woman

who was found in the abandoned well.

Send them in.

Okay... Come in.

Go inside.

- Greetings, sir.
- Greetings, sir.

Greetings, sir.

What is this regarding?

Sir, my name is Nanjappa.

We read in the newspaper that Raju,

Shobha's husband, had come here.

Yes. Raju came here earlier.

Sir, this is Raju's mother.

This is his sister.

And this is my brother.

Mister...

We've already cremated the body.

That's not why we are here, sir.

We haven't heard from Raju in over a year.

No matter where he is,

he'd return to the village
at least twice a year.

He'd come see his mother,

attend the temple festival and leave.

But it's been over a year

since he last came home.

How can that be?

But didn't Raju come by three months ago

to leave his children at your house?

No, sir.

I last saw his children over a year ago.

Does Raju have any siblings besides you?

No, sir.

You live in Bellooru, right?

No, sir. Chitrahalli.

Bellooru is a forest area, sir.

We weren't lying when we said Raju came.

Look.

What's it?

That's not Raju, sir.

Then?

This is Bhuvanesh.

A distant relative of Shobha's.

Isn't this Shobha with her children?

And isn't that Raju standing beside her?

That's Shobha and her children.

But the man standing with them isn't Raju.
It's Bhuvanesh.

How dare you come to a police station
and lie?

No, sir. We're telling the truth.

Bloody fools!

What exactly are you people doing
as police officers?

Huh?

This is no longer a 174 case.

This is murder.

A possible suspect

came here crying and put on an act,

and you let him walk out

without even checking his background?

Don't just stand there staring at me.

I specifically told you

to keep a close watch on these two.

But , sir, we had no evidence against him.

Of course you didn't.

You expect the evidence
come looking for you?

You can explain all this
to your seniors once you're suspended.

How many years of service do you have?

Twenty-four.

Hmph... Twenty-four!

For what?

Hope you haven't forgotten your old job.

- No, sir.
- Well get it dusted.

At this rate, you'll lose your cap
before your probation ends

I'm giving you 24 hours.

If the suspect isn't
in front of me by then,

I'll make sure all of you suffer for it.

I'm serious.

You may go.

Hey, you!

Stop right there!

So...

Shall we take him?

Yes, sir.

I am not Raju.

I am Bhuvanesh.

PART FOUR
RAJU/ BHUVANESH - THE ACCUSED

Shobha is my distant relative.

From a young age,

Shobha and I...

were in love with each other.

But...

her family was against it.

So they got her married to Raju.

One day,

I received a letter from Shobha's mother.

Raju didn't have a job,

and they were struggling badly.

So,

I asked Raju and Shobha

to come to Chitrahalli.

Hey!

Look at me, will you?

You're not alone any more.

You have a wife and two children.

And all you do is get drunk.

If you go on like this...

like some lunatic...

Keep behaving like a madman,
you'll only ruin everything.

I'm warning you!

Meenu, come. Want something to eat?

Here you go.

Do you like it?

What's it?

This is the mansion you'll be living in.

Is it good?

Meenu...

Did you like it?

Hey, watch out! Careful!

How many times have I told you
not to drink in broad daylight?

Why are you like this?

Do you even realise
the trouble you're causing?

Hey...

There... Easy... Careful...

Lie down... Come on...

This isn't right.

You know...

All famous actresses use this.

Seems expensive.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Should I not?

Can't I look at you?

Tell me...

What happened?

Seems like someone was here.

After that,

Raju was...

never seen again.

No one knows

the real reason

why he

left home like that.

Until today.

After that,

Shobha and I

left without telling anyone

and moved to Koduvally, sir.

Deva...

Eat before you go.

I don't want.

Deva...

I asked you to eat.
But you won't listen.

Don't come here. Move.

Clear off! Move!

Move.

Sir.

IP is on the line, sir.

Why did you choose to settle in Koduvally?

To ruin our peace.

What else?

I had come here

for a shoot years ago.

I see.

Then why did you change your name to Raju?

Shobha asked me to.

She said only then

people here would believe

we're husband and wife.

So you said the two of you
were living happily here.

Then how did it end in murder?

You said you'd be back only tomorrow.

Rain.

The shoot got called off.

It'll resume only after the rain clears.

Is that so?

Here, give these to the kids.

I'm starving. Serve the food.

Meenu.

Meenu, my dear...

See what I've brought for you.

Where are the kids?

Hey, I'm asking where the kids are.

Food...

is ready.

- Come and eat--
- Hey!

I'm asking about the kids

and you're talking about food?

Where are they?

Why are you shouting so much?

As if...

they're your own children.

They may not be mine by blood,

but I've raised them like my own.

So what?

So what?!

Tell me where the kids are!

Tell me the truth.

What did you do to them?

Their father came and took them away.

Their father?!

Which father?

Why does it bother you if they're gone?

I'm still here, aren't I?

Maybe it's better they left.

They were nothing but an extra burden.

Extra burden?

I never thought you'd sink this low.

You called your own children a burden.

I can't stay with you another second...

Shobha...

Hey...

Shobha...

Under Section 167 of the CrPC,

this court remands the accused,
Bhuvanesh Kumar alias Bhuvanesh,

to fourteen days of judicial custody.

SHOBHA MURDER CASE

In a way, it's good he confessed himself.

Otherwise it would've been
a real headache for us.

True, sir.

But Raju and the kids
are still missing, sir.

He said Raju took the children, right?

And they didn't disappear
within our station limits.

There's no written complaint either.

Sir, we only know what Bhuvanesh told us.

Let a complaint come first.

We'll deal with it then.

Why invite unnecessary trouble?

Okay, sir.

Alright then.

Sometimes when we crack a case,

it feels great
hearing seniors appreciate us.

But if things go the other way,

the things that come out
of their mouths then...

your eardrums will burst hearing them.

What are you thinking about, sir?

I was just...

thinking about Raju and the children.

Sir, you're still stuck on that?

I don't mean to advise you, but...

Just because you're new and full of fire,

don't dig too deep into everything.

It'll become a huge headache later.

No point acting more righteous
than our bloody seniors.

Joy... stop it.

Oh, sorry.

You're in full swing today, Joy , sir.

No, nothing like that.

Enough, Joy.

I've been counting.
You've crossed the limit.

Limit?

Today's Ajeeb , sir's treat.

- You hear that?
- Oh, is it now?

Hello, this is Dharmadom Police Station.

Whom you want? Goa?

Yes... Yes, sir.

No cases register here.

Madhu , sir...

- Sir... It's in English.
- You're sweating.

Hello, this is the station SI speaking.

Yeah, just give me the case details.

The address also, please?

Okay.

Okay.

We'll go to the address.

If there's somebody there,
we'll call you back.

Go to this address
and bring those people to the station.

Okay, sir.

And on the way back,
find yourself a good English tutor.

Good thing you were there
this time too, sir.

Last time it was Hindi from Karnataka.

Now it's English from Goa.

Wonder who's going to call next.

No more calls!

Last time it was Hindi from Karnataka.

Now it's English from Goa.

- Sir?
- Yes, sir.

Those calls from Karnataka...

The Hindi one?

Can you pull up the details?

Here you go, sir.

That village he said...

How far?

Where are your children?

At my sister's house.

- Where's that?
- Bellooru.

No, sir. Chitrahalli.

Bellooru is a forest area, sir.

PART FIVE
RANTHAL (LAMP) - THE WITNESS

- Hello, Ajeeb , sir.
- Hello, Vivek.

What's up, sir?

- How are you?
- Good, Vivek.

- I want one help from you.
- Sir.

This place called Bellooru.

It's close to where we went, no?

It's around 25 kilometres from here.

- Okay.
- Approximately...

But those are forest areas, sir.

What happened, sir?

Okay...
It's in your station limit only, right?

No, no, sir.

But the SI over there is my close friend.

Okay, so he can help us?

Yeah, just let me know
what all you require.

- He'll do it.
- Okay, okay.

I will send you a case number

which was registered at that station.

You'll be able to get me
all the details for that?

Sure, sure, I'll do it.

Okay, I'll just send you the details now.

- Okay, sir.
- Okay.

Ajeeb , sir...

Looks like you're onto something new?

No, nothing like that, sir.

I'm taking two days off.

I need to go somewhere.

- Where?
- I'll tell you once I'm back.

Secret, huh?

An unidentified body was found

within our limits

by our rangers.

The only material evidence we found was

this lamp lying next to the body.

We found Dharmadom

punched under the lamp

which was why

this case was referred to your station.

The bottom part of the lamp

wasn't completely destroyed in the fire.

We believe the deceased

belongs to your jurisdiction.

We suspect this to be a case of suicide.

We've mailed you the forensic
and chemical analysis reports

for further investigation.

Was this lamp purchased from here?

This...

- Yes, this is from our shop.
- What?

This was bought from here, sir.

How are you so sure?

This sticker underneath is ours.

- This one?
- Yes.

Remember that film crew

from long ago who bought twenty of these?

They said it was for a song shoot
and specifically asked for this colour.

Don't you remember?

These lamps usually don't
come in this colour.

That's why... That's how I remembered it.

Okay.

Would you have their number or address?

I think so. Let me check.

Here's the number of the man
who came that day.

Are you sure this is the one?

I'm sure.

We need to give a request
to get Bhuvanesh in custody, sir.

You know..

You shouldn't be in the
art department in movies.

You should've been a writer.

Am I right, Ajeeb?

Your story's missing

a few pieces.

According to your statement,

you hit Shobha in anger
for letting the children go with Raju.

She fell, hit her head
and died from that blow.

- Right?
- Mm...

But how can someone who doesn't even exist

take the children away, sir?

Well, in his story,

anything's possible.

Come on, spill it, Bhuvanesh.

Where's Raju?

Who, sir?

Your duplicate... Raju.

Didn't get it?

Oh, it's the other way around.

You're his duplicate.

Sir...

I don't know anything, sir.

What happened to your hand, Bhuvanesh?

Do you remember this song?

No, sir.

You don't?

What about this?

Still don't remember?

Look.

Look here.

What about this one?

Sir, I really don't remember anything.

You don't remember, huh?

Isn't it unfortunate, sir?

Quite naturally...

Ajeeb...

why don't you explain everything to him?

Maybe that'll refresh his memory.

You came to Koduvally for a movie shoot.

Now that part is true.

Cut it!

Pack up!

The lamp you picked up
from that film location...

your favourite lamp.

Now do you remember?

That precious lamp of yours...

How did it end up
beside a burnt body of a man

aged around forty-five
in Bellooru Reserve Forest?

I don't know, sir.

You know nothing, huh?

No, sir.

You don't remember anything?

No.

According to the forensic report,

the same chemical found in the lamp
was found on the body too.

So, it didn't end up there by accident.

I didn't do anything, sir.

I swear,
I don't know what you're talking about.

It's already been confirmed that this was

one of the lamps
used in the film you worked on.

And,

your phone's CDR proves

you were in this area
on the day Shobha was killed.

And a year ago,

the same phone was active
within the Bellooru tower range

near where this body was found.

Now tell me.

Who did you kill and burn that day?

Should I tell you
since you still can't remember?

It was Raju, wasn't it?

What happened?

Didn't I tell you?

I saw someone lurking around last night.

It wasn't anyone else.

It was him.

Don't talk nonsense.

You must've imagined it.

Please... believe me.

Usually, before leaving for work,

he always lets me know.

But today he left without a word.

I feel scared, thinking about him.

He'll kill me for sure.

Nothing's going to happen.

Don't be scared.

I'll take care of it.

Hey, Shobha.

Wait.

Die, you wretched dog!

I'll kill you...

What do you think of yourself?

You think you're Miss World?

Filthy dog!

Come.

I'll get some water.

I need some water.

And two glasses.

Hey...

What's going on between you two, huh?

Shobha is my woman.

Before her marriage

and even now.

Doesn't matter to me
that she was with you for a while.

Hold this.

Hey, move back!

You said that

you killed Shobha solely because
she let the kids go with Raju.

Well we know that's not the truth.

What was your real motive to kill Shobha?

Shobha kept pestering me...

to take her to my hometown
and live as a family.

I couldn't agree.

We had a huge fight over that.

Why couldn't you go back to your hometown?

I don't care that
you have another wife and kid.

All I want is to live before the world
as your wife.

I left everything for you.

Don't think you can live in peace

leaving me here to suffer.

I too have my pride and dignity.

If you think you can cheat me,

I won't let you off so easily.

I will tell the whole world
what you did to Raju.

I committed a sin, sir!

I committed a sin, sir!

I sinned!

What about those kids?

He must have burned them to death too.

Sir... No, sir...

I haven't done anything to them, sir.

Then? Where are those kids?

I don't know anything, sir.

I didn't do anything to them, sir.

I swear I don't know where they are, sir.

I'll stomp you to death!

Sir... sir... sir...

You better tell the truth.

What did you do to those kids?

I didn't do anything, sir!

- Did you kill them?
- No, sir! No, sir!

Or did you sell them to someone?

No, sir! I haven't done anything, sir!

Then where are those kids?

I'll tell you, sir...

I'll tell you...

Where are those kids, you scum?

I'll tell you, sir...
I didn't harm the kids, sir...

I didn't do anything, sir...

Appa...

I'm hungry, Appa...

Eat.

Amma?

Amma?

Amma has gone out.

I want to see Amma.

You want to see her?

Alright.

Do you want to go to Amma?

Have this.

Let's go to your Amma.

I thought about taking the kids with me.

But...

since I have another family
in my hometown,

I decided to

put them in some orphanage.

I took the kids to
two or three orphanages, sir.

But,

none of them accepted the kids.

Finally...

Hey... take care of the little one, okay?

I'll will go buy something to eat
and come back.

Okay, Appa.

Appa...

Appa!

Whatever he said is true.

I inquired at the orphanages.

He did take the kids there.

How many stops are there
from here to Mumbai?

Where could the kids have gotten off?

What do we do, Nandakumar?

It's going to be tough, sir.

Don't we have their photo?

We have a photo we found at
Shobha's house, sir.

But I think it's a bit old.

Even if it's old, doesn't matter.

Do one thing.

Mail these details to all the stations.

Let's see if we get any information.

We'll do that, sir.

Although the second crime
happened in Karnataka,

and since the confession was made here,
the case is our responsibility.

Coordinate officially with the station
where the crime occurred.

Okay.

Collect those details, file an FIR,
and register the case.

Sir.

Well done.

- Excellent work.
- Thank you, sir.

When does your probation end?

Day after tomorrow.

Our station is going to lose
a brilliant officer, isn't it, Joy?

That's true, sir.

Sir.

I have escort duty at 5 o'clock.

For Mike 8, right?

- Then you may leave.
- Okay.

Okay.

- Had dinner?
- Yeah.

Is that case over?

Yes.

We closed the curtains on it today.

It started off as a suicide.

And now it's turned into a double murder.

We've been interrogating him continuously
for the past two days.

Really? And then?

Just as we thought.

Not just Shobha,

he murdered her husband too.

Then what about Shobha's kids?

He put those kids on some train at night
and abandoned them.

My goodness!

So cruel!

Ajeeb sir...

Aren't you going to sleep?

I couldn't sleep.

Besides, it's really hot inside.

Can't sleep, right?

Those who don't have children
bear that sorrow.

And here, some scumbag abandons kids
like dumping kittens.

Who knows what condition those kids are in.

Please don't mind me asking this.

As the case neared completion,

I noticed you were disturbed.

Is...

something bothering you?

My probation ends tomorrow, Joy , sir.

I haven't received any posting letter yet.

But regardless of where it is,

it hurts to think I couldn't find
those kids before leaving.

But where do we go looking for them?

I have decided to search for them
in my own way, sir.

I have a week's break before I join.

All my pending work here will be done
in a week.

How about we go together after that?

It's already too late, sir.

Let me try.

Go to bed, sir.

- Aren't you coming in?
- No. I just came out for a walk.

Umma...

Pathu!

Pathu, my dear...

Pathu!

PART SIX
MEENU & DEVA - THE MISSING KIDS

Do you have to go tomorrow, Ajeeb?

Train?

Do you really have to do that?

I'm feeling scared.

Being scared won't get us anywhere.

It wasn't a train
that took Pathu away from us.

If I don't go tomorrow,

perhaps these kids will
meet the same fate.

When will you be back?

I don't know.

Without sugar for you, sir?

It's hot.

I searched everywhere possible.

Nobody remembers seeing those kids
in any station from here to Bombay.

Could it be because the photo is old

and no one could recognise them?

That wouldn't be it.

They are two very young kids.

Moreover, the younger one is a girl.

People would definitely notice
if they saw them.

And remember them too.

Meanwhile, a hundred false leads

saying people saw them here and there.

- Yeah, yeah.
- I've had enough.

Wherever they are,
I just hope they are safe.

I'll be right back, sir.

Hello?

Yes, this is SI Ajeeb.

Okay.

Isn't it time for your parents
to come back, Shahna?

It's not that I haven't called them, sir.

They say they'll only come
after his posting is done.

The call was from Mumbai.

From Mumbai?

An inspector from Dharavi station,
Keerti Deshpande.

I had sent the kids' photos and details
to several people.

She said two kids matching the description

were brought to a shelter in Dharavi.

There's a group there that provides shelter
to such orphan kids.

But she said it's dangerous
to keep them there for too long.

Are they sure they are the same kids
we're looking for?

Well, she doesn't have a photo to confirm.

She wants us to go there, confirm
and bring them back.

So what do we do? Shall we go?

I don't have much hope, Joy , sir.

Besides, I'm tired of running after this.

I'm done.

Ajeeb , sir,

why don't we make one last attempt?

This time, I'll come with you too.

If by any chance they are those kids,

we will regret it
for the rest of our lives.

That...

I won't be able to bear, Ajeeb sir.

I'll be leaving now.

You saw the situation here, didn't you?

Seriously, you should have come
two days ago.

We've informed the DCP about this.

Madam will be here soon.

She will speak to both of you.

Alright, sir.

Let's see what can be done after that.

When will madam arrive?

Jai Hind, madam.

- Ajeeb Rahman?
- Yes, ma'am.

Come inside.

- Bring that file inside.
- Okay, madam.

She's asking us to come inside.

Thank you, sir.

Have a seat.

Tea or coffee?

No, ma'am. Thank you.

Madam?

- Bring three cups of tea.
- Right away, madam.

So, tell me.

What's your connection with these children?

Ma'am, their mother was murdered
in our station limits.

And... the children have been missing
since then.

Are you here on official duty?

Not exactly, ma'am.

But we believe it is part of our duty too.

We couldn't stop thinking about
those children, ma'am.

- Madam.
- Give it to me.

The thing is,

these kids are currently in a shelter
near Dharavi.

Okay.

Some railway cleaner caught these kids
and sold them to goons.

That scumbag probably got a cut too.

The problem is,

the people running this shelter are
very dangerous.

They are highly connected.

We don't know
which bidder they were sold to.

When I called you that day,
why didn't you all come right away?

I didn't understand anything!

She is saying we're late.

They may have sold the kids
to someone it seems.

Ma'am, it's very important that
we find these children.

It won't be easy for us
without your help.

I understand, Ajeeb.

If those kids are in that shelter,

I will do everything I can, in my capacity.

Okay?

Okay.

I'll put my best man on it.

- It's from our station.
- Okay.

Ma'am, can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Since you know all of this is happening
right under your nose,

why haven't you done anything
to stop them?

Ajeeb...

After joining the force,
I soon realised something.

Being hasty doesn't help.

Okay.

Balance is very important.

If you want to change the system,

you have to work from within it.

If you don't,

you'll just end up with
suspensions and transfers.

Have it.

There are a lot of cockroaches
in this world.

You can't eliminate them completely.

But you can draw a line,

and that's what I did
within my jurisdiction.

I didn't let them cross over.

But to achieve that, sometimes...

You have to work
with your eyes and ears closed.

So that, in the bigger picture
everything is alright.

Ajeeb, it feels nice to know
there are officers like yourself

who uphold humanity in the force.

This is SI Pednekar.

- Hello.
- Hi.

He will join you.

Thank you for all your help, ma'am.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Glad we got to meet you.

- Park here. We'll be right back.
- Okay, sir.

- Just park in front.
- Okay, sir.

- Is this the place?
- Yes. This is the area.

We need to go a bit further.

Come. I'll show you.

It's a slightly sensitive area.

This is...

Mumbai's Dharavi.

Hey, is Salim upstairs?

Yes, he's having food.

Idiot, you call this tea?

Who is it?

Pednekar sir, is everything alright?

What brings you to this poor man's house
so suddenly?

You scoundrel...

Stop your drama.

The two kids from Kerala?

These officers have come to take them.

Look, I have a lot of work. Call them fast.

What is it, sir?

Why are you bothering me?

We don't do anything in your jurisdiction.
So what's the problem?

Respect the arrangement
we have between us, sir.

There are no kids from Kerala here.

Please leave, sir.

You won't find anything here.
Don't waste your time.

You scum.

Madam has information.

And she has sent them here.

Shall I leave?

And tell her the same?

Let's do one thing, you come with me.
Tell her yourself.

Hey Gotiya.

Yes, boss.

The shelter in Kanthawadi.

Where the kids are kept.

Okay.

Take them there and show them.
Let them be satisfied.

Go right now.

Come, sir.

Come.

Where is your Jackie Chan?
Haven't seen him lately.

- You didn't know, sir?
- What?

Three months ago, Jackie abducted a girl

from Sawant's territory...

And then?

And then what?

Sawant's men locked Jackie up in Juhu.

But Jackie beat them the hell out of them.

Two days later, Jackie went missing.

What are you saying?

Yes, sir...

- Didn't you guys look for him?
- Where to look?

Sawant must have finished him off.

And what about the girl?

China Uncle couriered that girl
along with few other kids.

Outside Bombay.

When?

Sometime around yesterday or day before.

Get lost!

What happened? Where are the kids?

- They are inside, sir.
- Then what?

Sir... my hands are pricking...

Bloody prick!

This guy has some nerve, huh?

Keep this.

Damn, you guys will never change.

Sir...

Move now.

Alright, sir. Come.

Go inside and see if the kids are there.

I'll wait right here.

Hey...

Get up, kids.

Everyone get up.

Get up, get up.

Get up, you.

Hey hero, do you need a special invitation?
Get up.

My leg is injured.

Take a look, sir.

Eat a little bit, sweetie.

You'll be a good girl only if you eat.

Brother, I don't want.

Just take one bite.

I'm not hungry, brother.

Have it.

I don't want...

What's your name, dear?

Meenu.

Huh?

Meenu.

Deva.

Amma...

Amma...

Today is a proud day for Kerala Police.

All the credit for this goes to Ajeeb.

This was a case we had all given up on.

Today, if these children are here with us,

it is only because of the efforts taken by
Ajeeb and Joy.

Kerala Police salutes before
their determination.

Rescued from Mumbai,
the children are now pursuing

their education and rebuilding their lives

under the care of
Mr. Anshad, the investigating officer.

A golden chapter in Kerala Police history.

A big salute!

Official data from
National Crime Records Bureau

and Ministry of Women & Child Development

shows that in 2020,
43,515 children went missing across India.

Of those, only 38,113 were rescued.

A chilling reality...
over 5,400 children remain untraced.
