1
00:01:12,046 --> 00:01:21,921
'Long is this night of sorrows Or long is my mournful song.'

2
00:01:24,255 --> 00:01:29,505
'This wicked night has no end Nor does the flow of my song.'

3
00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:31,421
What say, Shivy?

4
00:01:32,005 --> 00:01:32,880
Sir?

5
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:37,963
He's a bachelor, sir. He doesn't understand the pain.

6
00:01:38,671 --> 00:01:40,838
Laugh it up while you can.

7
00:01:41,213 --> 00:01:42,796
I’m getting engaged.

8
00:01:44,005 --> 00:01:45,255
This time it’s for real, sir.

9
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,046
Fourth time sir, same story.

10
00:01:52,046 --> 00:01:53,338
Answer me this…

11
00:01:53,671 --> 00:01:56,713
Will you arrive at your wedding on a horse or a police jeep?

12
00:01:57,130 --> 00:01:58,880
A horse of course, sir.

13
00:01:59,171 --> 00:02:01,171
Then what’s the point of being a cop?

14
00:02:01,838 --> 00:02:04,046
Sir, if I show up in a police jeep,

15
00:02:04,255 --> 00:02:06,380
It’ll look like I’ve come to take away a terrorist instead of a bride.

16
00:02:06,713 --> 00:02:08,338
Perfect.

17
00:02:08,713 --> 00:02:11,671
Your bride will stay in line just like a terrorist.

18
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,880
How much longer?

19
00:02:16,588 --> 00:02:19,130
Two more pegs, that's all.

20
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,046
Then make another stiff one.

21
00:02:24,921 --> 00:02:26,838
Where’s your bride-to-be from, anyway?

22
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:28,088
Dharamshala...

23
00:02:28,713 --> 00:02:29,755
From Himachal.

24
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:32,005
A purebred Sardarni.

25
00:02:32,255 --> 00:02:34,338
Attaboy!

26
00:02:35,463 --> 00:02:36,170
Sir...

27
00:02:36,171 --> 00:02:37,838
Just mount that horse and show him.

28
00:02:38,421 --> 00:02:44,421
He’ll be digging canals of whiskey from Tarn Taran to Dharamshala for your wedding.

29
00:02:51,130 --> 00:02:52,630
Stop the car.

30
00:03:13,046 --> 00:03:14,755
Come on, step out.

31
00:03:15,255 --> 00:03:17,505
Sir, please, no! Sir, please...

32
00:03:17,713 --> 00:03:18,713
Come on.

33
00:03:19,630 --> 00:03:22,130
Come on! - Please, sir!

34
00:03:23,255 --> 00:03:24,713
Sit! On your knees!

35
00:03:28,171 --> 00:03:28,755
Name?

36
00:03:29,421 --> 00:03:30,546
Nihaal Singh.

37
00:03:31,296 --> 00:03:32,296
Age?

38
00:03:32,796 --> 00:03:33,838
Nineteen.

39
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:35,505
Village?

40
00:03:36,171 --> 00:03:37,005
Bhikhiwind.

41
00:03:39,171 --> 00:03:40,796
Bhi… Bhikhiwind.

42
00:03:49,255 --> 00:03:50,005
Your name?

43
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Sir, please, let me go, sir. Forgive me, sir.

44
00:03:54,921 --> 00:03:58,421
Get back! Come on! - Quiet! Sit back!

45
00:04:01,213 --> 00:04:03,088
Here… do it.

46
00:04:04,505 --> 00:04:05,588
Me?

47
00:04:06,338 --> 00:04:07,796
No sir, how can I…?

48
00:04:07,963 --> 00:04:09,671
Shut up and do it.

49
00:04:11,213 --> 00:04:13,671
No sir, my job isn’t even permanent yet.

50
00:04:14,838 --> 00:04:17,338
We’ll make you permanent, rookie.

51
00:04:17,671 --> 00:04:19,213
Let's see if you can pull the trigger first.

52
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,171
No sir, I won’t be able to…

53
00:04:22,588 --> 00:04:23,338
No…

54
00:04:23,838 --> 00:04:25,213
Fire the damn gun!

55
00:04:27,796 --> 00:04:28,630
Attaboy!

56
00:04:29,921 --> 00:04:30,713
Go on...

57
00:04:31,588 --> 00:04:33,296
Load them back in the car.

58
00:04:35,005 --> 00:04:36,921
Go on then… get to work.

59
00:04:37,338 --> 00:04:38,338
- Tell me this...

60
00:04:38,463 --> 00:04:40,255
When’s the date?

61
00:04:41,046 --> 00:04:43,129
Haven’t set a date yet, sir.

62
00:04:43,130 --> 00:04:44,380
No? - No, sir.

63
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:46,130
The thing is…

64
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:49,255
Sir, the girl has a condition.

65
00:04:51,171 --> 00:04:54,171
She says she won't marry me till I make Inspector.

66
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:58,421
Bless her.

67
00:04:59,755 --> 00:05:02,171
How many you got left to make Inspector?

68
00:05:04,005 --> 00:05:05,046
Sir, two…

69
00:05:05,588 --> 00:05:07,255
You done? - Yes.

70
00:05:08,921 --> 00:05:10,171
Hold this.

71
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:18,838
'May I never deviate from doing a good deed'

72
00:05:19,755 --> 00:05:20,588
There!

73
00:05:21,505 --> 00:05:22,755
You're an inspector now.

74
00:05:24,796 --> 00:05:26,796
Get the postmortem done and mount that horse.

75
00:05:30,838 --> 00:05:33,421
'1995, Punjab… '

76
00:05:35,171 --> 00:05:37,755
A north Indian state around the river Satluj,

77
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:42,671
which has been in a state of insurgency for over ten years.

78
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,463
The constant tension between the police and the militants had exhausted Punjab.

79
00:05:52,588 --> 00:05:55,588
While the police force was trying to eliminate militancy,

80
00:05:56,421 --> 00:05:59,963
a few police officers were taking full advantage of this opportunity.

81
00:06:01,671 --> 00:06:04,671
They stopped distinguishing between militants and civilians,

82
00:06:05,796 --> 00:06:08,213
and the people of Punjab were caught in the crossfire.

83
00:06:10,005 --> 00:06:11,963
The fields had turned barren.

84
00:06:13,588 --> 00:06:15,880
Leaves had dried up.

85
00:06:18,463 --> 00:06:20,963
In this time of terror by uniform,

86
00:06:22,088 --> 00:06:24,130
even rivers had changed their course.

87
00:06:33,046 --> 00:06:35,713
Floating corpses are like floating pages of history.

88
00:06:36,463 --> 00:06:38,088
They never become statistics.

89
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,505
They fill up with water.

90
00:06:41,213 --> 00:06:42,796
They drown...

91
00:06:43,796 --> 00:06:48,755
... taking justice, hope and history down with them.

92
00:06:57,921 --> 00:07:02,296
'Verse chanting'

93
00:07:02,421 --> 00:07:05,004
Very good! And what does it mean?

94
00:07:05,005 --> 00:07:09,505
'O Lord, give me the strength So I may never deviate from doing good deeds.'

95
00:07:09,713 --> 00:07:10,963
Excellent!

96
00:07:14,338 --> 00:07:17,338
Here you go. And distribute them to your friends. Okay?

97
00:07:17,505 --> 00:07:18,712
Kiran!

98
00:07:18,713 --> 00:07:21,296
Coming mummy!

99
00:07:21,838 --> 00:07:23,755
Come on, hurry up.

100
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,796
Give me this.

101
00:07:26,296 --> 00:07:28,130
Let’s go, you’ll get me in trouble too.

102
00:07:28,671 --> 00:07:31,046
Your grandparents are also coming this evening.

103
00:07:31,171 --> 00:07:32,046
Kiran!

104
00:07:32,296 --> 00:07:33,921
We’re here, we’re here.

105
00:07:34,088 --> 00:07:37,088
Hurry up, Kiran! You’ll make everyone late again.

106
00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:42,213
Don’t forget to - - bring the cake.

107
00:07:43,088 --> 00:07:43,713
Let’s go…

108
00:07:43,921 --> 00:07:45,546
Bye. - Bye.

109
00:07:51,796 --> 00:07:53,130
It’s not possible, uncle.

110
00:07:54,255 --> 00:07:56,963
The bank has already loaned you twice against this property.

111
00:07:57,713 --> 00:07:58,796
We're desperate.

112
00:08:00,088 --> 00:08:03,338
Please help us if you can, just this time.

113
00:08:04,505 --> 00:08:06,130
But how will you return these loans?

114
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:09,296
You could lose your entire home.

115
00:08:09,963 --> 00:08:11,130
We have only one son.

116
00:08:12,421 --> 00:08:13,755
Sukhdev Singh.

117
00:08:14,338 --> 00:08:16,546
He’s been missing for five months.

118
00:08:17,088 --> 00:08:19,421
They say this time he’ll come home.

119
00:08:20,255 --> 00:08:22,921
But aunty… - Please don’t ask anything more, son.

120
00:08:23,588 --> 00:08:24,671
For God’s sake.

121
00:08:25,921 --> 00:08:27,838
We can’t tell you anything.

122
00:08:34,505 --> 00:08:35,755
I’ll try.

123
00:08:41,255 --> 00:08:42,171
Send Mr. Amrik in.

124
00:08:42,462 --> 00:08:43,796
Sir, Mr. Amrik Singh didn’t come in today either.

125
00:08:44,255 --> 00:08:45,505
What? - Yes, sir.

126
00:08:50,838 --> 00:08:52,755
Give this to the head clerk. - Yes, sir.

127
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,796
Tell him I sent you. - Yes, sir.

128
00:08:56,421 --> 00:08:58,046
Please go with him, it’ll be taken care of.

129
00:09:00,338 --> 00:09:01,921
Thank you, son.

130
00:09:03,255 --> 00:09:04,546
Bless you, son.

131
00:09:04,921 --> 00:09:05,838
Bless you.

132
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:07,963
Hello…

133
00:09:08,588 --> 00:09:10,921
Looks like your parents won’t be coming this evening.

134
00:09:12,088 --> 00:09:12,838
Why, what happened?

135
00:09:13,296 --> 00:09:14,463
No idea.

136
00:09:14,796 --> 00:09:16,880
But he sounded worried.

137
00:09:17,421 --> 00:09:19,380
Could you talk to him?

138
00:09:20,088 --> 00:09:21,296
Okay.

139
00:09:41,046 --> 00:09:44,046
It’s been a week now. Nobody’s seen her.

140
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,505
God knows where she went.

141
00:09:46,796 --> 00:09:49,338
Did you file a police report?

142
00:09:50,296 --> 00:09:52,046
We tried to, son.

143
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:55,255
But cops don't take anyone’s reports these days.

144
00:09:56,713 --> 00:09:58,338
We scoured the entire village,

145
00:09:58,671 --> 00:10:00,171
but nobody knows anything.

146
00:10:00,588 --> 00:10:03,588
We’ve sent word to the neighbouring villages as well.

147
00:10:04,005 --> 00:10:05,213
Don’t worry, son.

148
00:10:05,463 --> 00:10:07,588
You head home. It’s getting late.

149
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,380
It’s Kiran’s birthday, she’ll be waiting.

150
00:10:10,963 --> 00:10:12,046
Don’t worry.

151
00:10:12,588 --> 00:10:13,630
We’re all here, aren’t we?

152
00:10:14,713 --> 00:10:15,713
Go…

153
00:11:17,546 --> 00:11:19,880
Jassi!

154
00:11:20,838 --> 00:11:22,255
Jassi!

155
00:11:22,505 --> 00:11:24,755
Mindro, open the door!

156
00:11:24,921 --> 00:11:29,338
Aunty? - Jassi! Let me in, son. Open the door!

157
00:11:30,463 --> 00:11:31,296
What happened? - Jassi!

158
00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:33,505
Kirpal never listens to me.

159
00:11:33,796 --> 00:11:36,045
You're his friend, right? You make him understand!

160
00:11:36,046 --> 00:11:39,046
Gurpej... what happened? - Mindro!

161
00:11:39,213 --> 00:11:41,879
Mindro! I've told him so many times...

162
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,713
"Come inside, come inside. You'll catch a cold."

163
00:11:46,046 --> 00:11:47,546
But he doesn't listen.

164
00:11:47,713 --> 00:11:48,838
What happened?

165
00:11:48,963 --> 00:11:53,546
Brother! You come with me. Talk some sense into him. He'll listen to you.

166
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,546
Children these days...

167
00:11:56,171 --> 00:11:58,545
They never listen to anyone!

168
00:11:58,546 --> 00:12:00,921
He'll catch a cold.

169
00:12:01,838 --> 00:12:04,380
He's drenched from head to toe.

170
00:12:04,963 --> 00:12:05,796
Who?

171
00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:10,212
Kirpal! He's lying there in the street!

172
00:12:10,213 --> 00:12:11,338
My Kirpal! - Jassi!

173
00:12:50,421 --> 00:12:51,546
Kirpal!

174
00:12:54,838 --> 00:12:56,046
Kirpal!

175
00:13:40,046 --> 00:13:41,546
Jassi, brother? Hello!

176
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:42,671
Greetings.

177
00:13:42,838 --> 00:13:44,546
Ma... Jassi's here.

178
00:13:46,505 --> 00:13:48,171
Greetings, aunty. - Greetings.

179
00:13:48,380 --> 00:13:50,213
How are you? - Bless you.

180
00:13:50,505 --> 00:13:52,505
It's been a while, Jassi.

181
00:13:53,338 --> 00:13:54,546
I came to meet Satnam.

182
00:13:55,088 --> 00:13:56,004
Is he home?

183
00:13:56,005 --> 00:14:00,088
No… He hasn’t been home since he got his new posting.

184
00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:01,505
It’s been 4 days now.

185
00:14:02,546 --> 00:14:04,170
You tell me... Pammi's fine?

186
00:14:04,171 --> 00:14:05,088
Yes.

187
00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:07,088
Dilbag! - Yes?

188
00:14:07,296 --> 00:14:11,421
Get some water for Jassi. And get him some sweets.

189
00:14:11,838 --> 00:14:12,796
Yes, right away...

190
00:14:13,088 --> 00:14:15,588
Finish this quickly, I’ll be right back.

191
00:14:15,796 --> 00:14:17,838
Dilbag got posted in Chandigarh.

192
00:14:17,963 --> 00:14:18,880
He’s leaving today.

193
00:14:19,671 --> 00:14:21,421
That’s why Jimmy is so upset.

194
00:14:21,796 --> 00:14:23,380
Hasn’t eaten anything since morning.

195
00:14:25,046 --> 00:14:26,921
What’s your business with the police?

196
00:14:28,338 --> 00:14:30,588
It’s… Aunty Gurpej.

197
00:14:31,755 --> 00:14:33,088
You must have heard…

198
00:14:33,463 --> 00:14:33,963
Yes.

199
00:14:35,421 --> 00:14:37,921
I saw her about a week ago...

200
00:14:38,671 --> 00:14:41,463
... serving at the Gurudwara.

201
00:14:42,338 --> 00:14:45,213
Poor woman’s been all alone since Kirpal’s death.

202
00:14:45,796 --> 00:14:48,796
So long as she remembers Kirpal’s no more,

203
00:14:49,005 --> 00:14:50,546
she stays fine.

204
00:14:50,963 --> 00:14:52,088
But when she forgets,

205
00:14:52,588 --> 00:14:55,588
she wanders into police stations looking for him.

206
00:14:57,255 --> 00:14:59,171
She’s lost her bearings, poor thing.

207
00:15:00,671 --> 00:15:01,755
But don’t you worry.

208
00:15:02,296 --> 00:15:03,713
She’ll be back.

209
00:15:04,338 --> 00:15:06,421
Here, have some jaggery.

210
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,213
There's a grimness in the air, son.

211
00:15:14,463 --> 00:15:16,338
Who knows when this season will pass.

212
00:15:29,338 --> 00:15:30,796
Got quite late?

213
00:15:32,338 --> 00:15:33,296
Found out anything?

214
00:15:34,963 --> 00:15:36,255
Not yet.

215
00:15:39,505 --> 00:15:41,296
She was waiting for you.

216
00:15:43,213 --> 00:15:44,838
Wouldn’t even cut the cake.

217
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:48,380
You’re still up?

218
00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:52,088
Had to prepare a list of books for the library.

219
00:15:52,630 --> 00:15:54,088
Thought I might as well do that.

220
00:15:55,630 --> 00:15:56,588
I’ll take that.

221
00:16:02,005 --> 00:16:03,171
I’ll get you some dinner?

222
00:16:05,463 --> 00:16:06,338
No.

223
00:16:15,755 --> 00:16:16,713
Kids asleep?

224
00:16:17,088 --> 00:16:18,130
They just slept.

225
00:16:42,005 --> 00:16:43,546
Happy birthday, darling.

226
00:16:57,630 --> 00:16:59,005
What's on your mind?

227
00:17:00,130 --> 00:17:01,505
Can't sleep?

228
00:17:05,130 --> 00:17:07,963
I'm thinking what Kirpal would do if he was in my place.

229
00:17:09,963 --> 00:17:12,920
He would also do what you're thinking.

230
00:17:23,670 --> 00:17:26,463
Congratulations, congratulations!

231
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:28,962
Happy birthday and promotion on the same day.

232
00:17:28,963 --> 00:17:34,005
At this speed, Mr. Inspector will be married by next week.

233
00:17:35,546 --> 00:17:39,670
The DSP's blue eyed boy, his blue eyed boy.

234
00:17:39,671 --> 00:17:41,171
That's enough!

235
00:17:41,838 --> 00:17:43,671
Distribute it to everyone. - Yes sir!

236
00:17:44,713 --> 00:17:45,588
Congratulations, sir.

237
00:17:45,963 --> 00:17:48,213
Go on, have some cake. - Congratulations, sir.

238
00:17:50,755 --> 00:17:51,755
Greetings.

239
00:17:56,171 --> 00:17:56,921
Right...

240
00:17:57,088 --> 00:17:59,046
At your service. - Hello.

241
00:18:01,421 --> 00:18:02,671
We need to file a report.

242
00:18:04,088 --> 00:18:06,171
This is Bibi Gurpej Kaur, from Khalra.

243
00:18:06,421 --> 00:18:08,421
She's been missing for a week.

244
00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:10,046
What's she to you?

245
00:18:10,421 --> 00:18:11,796
She's my friend's mother.

246
00:18:15,796 --> 00:18:17,296
Gurpej Kaur Bannowal.

247
00:18:20,838 --> 00:18:22,630
Kirpal Singh Bannowal's mother, isn't she?

248
00:18:25,671 --> 00:18:26,671
That terrorist's.

249
00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:29,046
A mother's a mother, sir...

250
00:18:29,796 --> 00:18:32,588
Be it a rebel's, or a cop's.

251
00:18:33,505 --> 00:18:35,005
When the crop is bad...

252
00:18:37,005 --> 00:18:38,921
... the rot is in the roots.

253
00:18:40,755 --> 00:18:42,505
Wherever the rot may be...

254
00:18:44,213 --> 00:18:46,005
... it's still the farmer's own farm, isn't it?

255
00:18:48,213 --> 00:18:50,338
Here you go... have some cake.

256
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:52,005
Go on, have some.

257
00:18:53,255 --> 00:18:54,921
Just file our report, please.

258
00:18:58,338 --> 00:18:59,755
Take some of our cake...

259
00:19:01,671 --> 00:19:03,130
... and we'll take your report.

260
00:19:10,255 --> 00:19:11,255
What’s her name?

261
00:19:11,421 --> 00:19:12,671
Bibi Gurpej Kaur.

262
00:19:13,046 --> 00:19:14,088
And age?

263
00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:16,130
Around 65 or 70.

264
00:19:16,671 --> 00:19:19,130
Village? - Village Khalra.

265
00:19:19,671 --> 00:19:22,005
Sorry… there’s no one by that name.

266
00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:24,171
You were here yesterday as well, right?

267
00:19:26,255 --> 00:19:27,005
Yes.

268
00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:31,713
Excuse me...

269
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:34,213
Excuse me, are you done?

270
00:19:34,421 --> 00:19:35,421
Yes…

271
00:21:09,921 --> 00:21:12,421
No need for pity.

272
00:21:13,838 --> 00:21:15,630
Nobody cares about them.

273
00:21:17,005 --> 00:21:18,755
All unclaimed bodies.

274
00:21:20,963 --> 00:21:22,130
Let’s go…

275
00:21:25,421 --> 00:21:27,380
If they’re unclaimed, who brought them here?

276
00:21:30,088 --> 00:21:31,880
Not the milkmen, obviously.

277
00:21:33,630 --> 00:21:35,213
It’s no secret who brings them,

278
00:21:36,046 --> 00:21:37,796
but nobody does anything.

279
00:21:39,046 --> 00:21:40,255
Who’re you looking for?

280
00:21:40,671 --> 00:21:41,921
Bibi Gurpej Kaur.

281
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:44,880
I’ve searched everywhere.

282
00:21:45,421 --> 00:21:47,046
Thought I’d try here as well.

283
00:21:48,338 --> 00:21:49,755
Madam. Are you...

284
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,755
Are you done?

285
00:21:51,171 --> 00:21:52,088
Satnam?

286
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:53,380
One minute…

287
00:21:56,505 --> 00:21:58,046
She’s not here.

288
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:04,380
Excuse me.

289
00:22:07,671 --> 00:22:09,505
Ma told me you came home.

290
00:22:10,505 --> 00:22:11,171
All okay?

291
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:14,588
It’s been ten days.

292
00:22:15,213 --> 00:22:16,755
I’m still looking for her.

293
00:22:18,421 --> 00:22:19,963
If you can help at all…

294
00:22:23,463 --> 00:22:25,005
I’m telling you as a brother…

295
00:22:26,421 --> 00:22:27,421
Forget all this.

296
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:29,213
Go back home.

297
00:22:30,005 --> 00:22:31,463
You’ve got a wife and kids.

298
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,713
A family.

299
00:22:32,921 --> 00:22:34,713
She’s also family, Satnam.

300
00:22:35,213 --> 00:22:36,921
Kirpal was our friend.

301
00:22:38,255 --> 00:22:40,296
It's my duty to find Aunty.

302
00:22:41,005 --> 00:22:43,463
Then you’re looking in the wrong places.

303
00:22:43,671 --> 00:22:44,338
What?

304
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,005
Sir, sign.

305
00:22:46,213 --> 00:22:47,338
Eight bodies.

306
00:22:50,213 --> 00:22:54,838
No point scraping through ashes, Jassi.

307
00:22:57,380 --> 00:22:59,171
Your own hands get dirty.

308
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:01,588
Take my advice.

309
00:23:03,380 --> 00:23:04,546
Go back.

310
00:23:05,630 --> 00:23:06,338
Sat -

311
00:23:52,171 --> 00:23:52,880
Yes, tell me…

312
00:23:53,171 --> 00:23:54,255
What do you want?

313
00:23:57,380 --> 00:23:58,713
We’re looking for her.

314
00:24:02,588 --> 00:24:04,213
Earlier, they’d bring 2-3 bodies.

315
00:24:05,630 --> 00:24:07,380
Now it’s 15-20.

316
00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:10,463
Sometimes they bring a truckload.

317
00:24:11,713 --> 00:24:12,838
Can’t say for sure.

318
00:24:22,213 --> 00:24:24,880
Their names, addresses, or any belongings?

319
00:24:26,338 --> 00:24:28,255
We don't get firewood without names.

320
00:24:29,171 --> 00:24:32,505
It takes 400 kilos of firewood to burn one body.

321
00:24:33,463 --> 00:24:36,463
These days most of the bodies are unclaimed.

322
00:24:37,671 --> 00:24:40,421
Every kilo has to be accounted for at the municipality.

323
00:24:41,296 --> 00:24:42,755
Only then we get the firewood.

324
00:24:48,088 --> 00:24:49,296
Where are their names written?

325
00:24:53,213 --> 00:24:55,338
Maybe we'll find something there.

326
00:25:03,088 --> 00:25:04,505
Here you go.

327
00:25:05,046 --> 00:25:07,505
You’ll find all the names in these registers.

328
00:25:09,046 --> 00:25:09,796
And these receipts?

329
00:25:10,088 --> 00:25:12,338
Those are official receipts, from the wood mills…

330
00:25:12,713 --> 00:25:13,921
Where the firewood comes from.

331
00:25:17,838 --> 00:25:19,880
Sometimes, if the bodies pile up...

332
00:25:20,213 --> 00:25:22,713
... we have to burn three on each pyre.

333
00:25:24,588 --> 00:25:25,630
What's the name you mentioned?

334
00:25:26,296 --> 00:25:26,880
Gurpej...

335
00:25:27,630 --> 00:25:28,546
Bibi Gurpej Kaur.

336
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,838
Husband, Darbarilal. Son, Kirpal Singh. Village Khalra…

337
00:25:37,296 --> 00:25:39,546
Here it is... over here.

338
00:25:51,046 --> 00:25:52,171
Unclaimed?

339
00:25:53,630 --> 00:25:54,546
Let it be.

340
00:25:56,755 --> 00:25:58,005
Police encounter...

341
00:26:05,546 --> 00:26:07,088
Jassi?

342
00:26:08,255 --> 00:26:09,171
At this hour?

343
00:26:09,588 --> 00:26:10,713
Went to the police station.

344
00:26:12,255 --> 00:26:13,380
They said you’re home.

345
00:26:17,046 --> 00:26:19,671
I found Bibi’s name at Tarn Taran crematorium.

346
00:26:21,088 --> 00:26:22,838
In a list of unclaimed bodies.

347
00:26:23,796 --> 00:26:25,546
Who is it, Sattu?

348
00:26:26,046 --> 00:26:29,338
No one, ma! It’s Jassi. Be right back.

349
00:26:34,546 --> 00:26:36,588
Your police station is also mentioned in the list.

350
00:26:38,338 --> 00:26:39,963
And your inspector as well.

351
00:26:42,088 --> 00:26:43,671
You were right.

352
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,296
I was searching the wrong places.

353
00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:50,963
You knew everything, didn’t you?

354
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,505
You were there, right?

355
00:26:56,088 --> 00:26:57,630
I’m talking to you, Satnam.

356
00:26:58,505 --> 00:26:59,463
What is all this?

357
00:27:02,338 --> 00:27:05,171
A dark truth written on black paper…

358
00:27:06,713 --> 00:27:08,880
… that can neither be seen,

359
00:27:09,713 --> 00:27:11,130
nor read.

360
00:27:14,963 --> 00:27:16,255
You won’t understand.

361
00:27:17,796 --> 00:27:19,338
That’s why I’ve come to you.

362
00:27:22,130 --> 00:27:23,546
Speak the truth, Satnam.

363
00:27:24,505 --> 00:27:26,005
For Kirpal’s sake.

364
00:27:27,963 --> 00:27:29,713
You’re sitting on holy steps.

365
00:27:40,005 --> 00:27:40,755
That night,

366
00:27:42,296 --> 00:27:43,671
we got a call.

367
00:27:45,755 --> 00:27:47,255
Orders from above.

368
00:27:48,963 --> 00:27:50,296
Where is my Kirpal?

369
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:54,880
I want Kirpal! - What happened, lady?

370
00:27:55,796 --> 00:27:58,588
I want to meet Kirpal! - Lady… step away from the car.

371
00:27:58,838 --> 00:28:01,421
What happened? - I want to meet Kirpal.

372
00:28:02,046 --> 00:28:03,088
Here, take this.

373
00:28:03,213 --> 00:28:05,463
I’ll give you everything. You keep it.

374
00:28:06,463 --> 00:28:07,587
You keep it.

375
00:28:07,588 --> 00:28:09,338
I want to meet Kirpal.

376
00:28:09,796 --> 00:28:13,005
Lady, listen to me… - Bring my Kirpal...

377
00:28:18,921 --> 00:28:20,838
You know Kirpal, right?

378
00:28:21,171 --> 00:28:22,880
You know where Kirpal is, right?

379
00:28:23,671 --> 00:28:25,338
Where is Kirpal?

380
00:28:25,546 --> 00:28:29,712
Tell me where he is! Where is my Kirpal? - Hey! Lady…

381
00:28:29,713 --> 00:28:35,088
I want my Kirpal!

382
00:28:39,171 --> 00:28:42,171
I want to see Kirpal.

383
00:28:43,421 --> 00:28:44,755
Look at me, mother.

384
00:28:47,588 --> 00:28:49,213
You want to see Kirpal? - Yes.

385
00:28:50,921 --> 00:28:52,755
We're going to go see him right now.

386
00:28:53,421 --> 00:28:55,170
Kirpal? - Yes.

387
00:28:55,171 --> 00:28:56,713
I want to meet him.

388
00:28:56,838 --> 00:28:58,380
You want to meet him?

389
00:29:00,255 --> 00:29:01,004
Satnam!

390
00:29:01,005 --> 00:29:02,171
Yes, sir.

391
00:29:05,588 --> 00:29:06,921
Put mother in the car.

392
00:29:09,671 --> 00:29:11,338
We’ll have a reunion today.

393
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:20,713
Bless you, son… bless you.

394
00:29:21,671 --> 00:29:23,255
But... but sir…

395
00:29:24,546 --> 00:29:25,421
Son...

396
00:29:25,838 --> 00:29:28,963
I want to meet Kirpal. Let’s go. - Do it!

397
00:29:29,588 --> 00:29:31,921
Hurry up...

398
00:29:32,338 --> 00:29:35,338
I want to meet Kirpal.

399
00:29:37,171 --> 00:29:38,755
I want to meet Kirpal.

400
00:29:38,921 --> 00:29:42,880
Kirpal...

401
00:29:46,505 --> 00:29:48,505
'May I never deviate from doing a good deed'

402
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:50,005
There!

403
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,421
You're an inspector now.

404
00:29:54,255 --> 00:29:56,463
Get the postmortem done and mount that horse.

405
00:29:59,630 --> 00:30:05,171
'Donate blood while alive; donate your eyes after death'

406
00:30:14,005 --> 00:30:15,504
Greetings. - Hello.

407
00:30:15,505 --> 00:30:16,338
Two bodies.

408
00:30:16,796 --> 00:30:18,005
Killed in a police encounter.

409
00:30:18,921 --> 00:30:19,713
Need their report...

410
00:30:21,463 --> 00:30:22,421
... in 20 minutes.

411
00:30:22,546 --> 00:30:24,755
Give a realistic time for a change.

412
00:30:25,463 --> 00:30:28,296
It takes at least 45 minutes for one postmortem.

413
00:30:28,838 --> 00:30:29,588
Doctor!

414
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:30,755
What happened?

415
00:30:35,838 --> 00:30:37,671
What's the problem?

416
00:30:38,380 --> 00:30:39,630
There’s just one dead body.

417
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:41,171
One is alive.

418
00:30:42,921 --> 00:30:44,088
Bloody hell...

419
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,838
Next one ma’am, next one.

420
00:30:49,505 --> 00:30:51,046
Lady, open your eyes.

421
00:30:51,796 --> 00:30:55,796
Lady... lady, open your eyes.

422
00:30:56,213 --> 00:30:58,546
Ma'am... open your eyes.

423
00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:04,421
Get the O.T. ready. - Hold it!

424
00:31:47,755 --> 00:31:48,755
There you go, madam.

425
00:31:49,296 --> 00:31:50,713
Now both are dead.

426
00:31:52,046 --> 00:31:53,255
Twenty minutes?

427
00:31:55,005 --> 00:31:57,088
Bring her out!

428
00:32:02,046 --> 00:32:03,755
I couldn’t do anything.

429
00:32:06,005 --> 00:32:07,880
I couldn’t save her.

430
00:32:14,755 --> 00:32:16,463
Why don’t you quit?

431
00:32:21,213 --> 00:32:23,380
You think I haven’t tried?

432
00:32:26,588 --> 00:32:27,880
I’m not the only one.

433
00:32:28,505 --> 00:32:32,463
There are many cops like me who want to quit.

434
00:32:33,463 --> 00:32:36,505
But for that, we have to sign form 311.

435
00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:40,380
And whoever signs it…

436
00:32:40,963 --> 00:32:43,005
they either disappear...

437
00:32:43,505 --> 00:32:48,588
or they show up dead along with militants.

438
00:32:52,588 --> 00:32:56,713
If I fill up that piece of paper, then you’ll be looking for me next.

439
00:33:00,005 --> 00:33:03,421
When you're riding a lion, Jassi…

440
00:33:05,338 --> 00:33:09,088
When you get off, the lion eats you.

441
00:33:19,005 --> 00:33:20,171
What are you thinking?

442
00:33:22,588 --> 00:33:25,588
There are 600 names along with Bibi's, Pammi.

443
00:33:26,796 --> 00:33:29,755
The list has their families’ names, addresses… everything.

444
00:33:33,296 --> 00:33:36,088
And yet they were marked ‘unclaimed’ and cremated.

445
00:33:38,088 --> 00:33:38,838
Why?

446
00:33:44,130 --> 00:33:46,088
Their families must still be looking for them.

447
00:33:51,921 --> 00:33:53,838
These bodies are not unclaimed, Pammi.

448
00:33:55,755 --> 00:33:56,838
They have families.

449
00:33:57,838 --> 00:34:00,755
And they have every right to know what happened to their own.

450
00:34:04,046 --> 00:34:06,088
I can’t ignore what I’ve seen, Pammi.

451
00:34:09,421 --> 00:34:11,505
Someone needs to speak up for them.

452
00:34:16,588 --> 00:34:18,088
And whoever does,

453
00:34:18,463 --> 00:34:20,130
what about their family?

454
00:34:33,171 --> 00:34:34,338
600 names.

455
00:34:35,005 --> 00:34:36,671
From one crematorium.

456
00:34:38,255 --> 00:34:40,213
So imagine how many in the whole district.

457
00:34:41,130 --> 00:34:42,588
And how many in the whole of Punjab.

458
00:34:43,088 --> 00:34:45,921
These are just the names mentioned in government records.

459
00:34:47,213 --> 00:34:50,963
And those who were drowned in rivers and canals…

460
00:34:51,463 --> 00:34:53,338
There’s no count of them anywhere.

461
00:35:01,296 --> 00:35:03,046
Then get more records.

462
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:09,088
As many as you can find, wherever you can find them. Get them all.

463
00:35:09,546 --> 00:35:11,380
It is a very sensitive matter.

464
00:35:12,296 --> 00:35:14,296
We have to make our case very strong.

465
00:35:18,213 --> 00:35:20,088
Otherwise there’s no point.

466
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:32,880
This was probably the first time…

467
00:35:33,796 --> 00:35:38,171
… that cremation records were being unearthed to look for missing people.

468
00:35:39,046 --> 00:35:41,588
Shahida, Jandiala, Durgiana, Patti…

469
00:35:42,671 --> 00:35:45,880
Figures were being collected from all the cremation grounds in the district.

470
00:35:46,505 --> 00:35:51,004
Details of the dead and their killers were being found under layers of ashes...

471
00:35:51,005 --> 00:35:52,088
Here... Amrik Singh.

472
00:35:53,421 --> 00:35:56,046
... which were recorded in the crematorium registers,

473
00:35:56,796 --> 00:35:58,546
but all of them unclaimed.

474
00:36:00,755 --> 00:36:02,213
Jassi, police!

475
00:36:33,005 --> 00:36:34,755
These are unofficial cremation records.

476
00:36:35,338 --> 00:36:36,505
This won’t be enough.

477
00:36:36,796 --> 00:36:38,213
I know it won’t.

478
00:36:38,838 --> 00:36:40,838
That’s why we back these up with government records.

479
00:36:41,671 --> 00:36:44,963
The names of the dead and the cops who killed them are in the municipality files as well,

480
00:36:45,463 --> 00:36:47,338
from where they supplied the firewood.

481
00:36:48,338 --> 00:36:51,505
We tally the municipality records with the cremation records.

482
00:36:54,046 --> 00:36:56,088
Earlier they’d just target rebels.

483
00:36:56,463 --> 00:36:59,463
Now they abduct anyone for extortion.

484
00:37:00,505 --> 00:37:03,046
It's a business... in the name of peace.

485
00:37:06,213 --> 00:37:07,630
It’s a great start.

486
00:37:09,713 --> 00:37:10,921
But it’s not enough.

487
00:37:11,671 --> 00:37:13,255
2097 names.

488
00:37:13,421 --> 00:37:14,755
From just three cremation grounds.

489
00:37:15,421 --> 00:37:17,255
Durgiana, Patti and Tarn Taran.

490
00:37:18,046 --> 00:37:21,296
It still isn’t enough to file a petition?

491
00:37:21,546 --> 00:37:22,630
That’s not the point.

492
00:37:25,546 --> 00:37:26,255
You know him?

493
00:37:27,046 --> 00:37:28,338
Satvinder Singh?

494
00:37:28,671 --> 00:37:30,671
These are all individual cases.

495
00:37:31,088 --> 00:37:34,671
To register them in court, you need to bring their families forward.

496
00:37:34,921 --> 00:37:38,130
They don’t even know that the people they’re looking for are no more.

497
00:37:39,255 --> 00:37:40,921
So it's time to let them know.

498
00:37:41,963 --> 00:37:43,505
You'll have to tell them.

499
00:37:59,671 --> 00:38:02,671
Not all, but many missing people’s names,

500
00:38:02,963 --> 00:38:06,338
their families and where they live, and their police reports.

501
00:38:06,796 --> 00:38:07,630
It’s all in here.

502
00:38:10,213 --> 00:38:11,670
I owe you for this.

503
00:38:11,671 --> 00:38:13,213
For what, Jassi?

504
00:38:14,588 --> 00:38:16,671
You showed me this path.

505
00:38:19,463 --> 00:38:21,588
But what you’re doing…

506
00:38:21,755 --> 00:38:24,296
It’s the work of a true Sikh.

507
00:38:27,421 --> 00:38:29,421
Take care of yourself.

508
00:38:36,505 --> 00:38:39,630
More than 6 months since he left. No news till date.

509
00:38:39,755 --> 00:38:42,380
Is Balli a friend of yours? Do you know where he is?

510
00:38:42,713 --> 00:38:45,630
I was seven years old when I last saw my father.

511
00:38:46,088 --> 00:38:48,213
My mother says he'll be back.

512
00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:50,005
Do you know where is he?

513
00:38:51,005 --> 00:38:53,046
Five years since he left home.

514
00:38:53,546 --> 00:38:56,796
They say he was killed in a police encounter. But I don’t believe it.

515
00:38:57,463 --> 00:38:59,796
They don’t even give any official papers.

516
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:01,796
That’s his room.

517
00:39:01,963 --> 00:39:04,130
If you know anything, please tell us.

518
00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:06,880
My father was in the police.

519
00:39:07,338 --> 00:39:09,504
Then he left his job.

520
00:39:09,505 --> 00:39:12,755
A few days later, the police came and took him away.

521
00:39:13,421 --> 00:39:14,421
Then?

522
00:39:14,838 --> 00:39:17,296
Then he never came back.

523
00:39:18,130 --> 00:39:19,380
How do I tell them?

524
00:39:20,296 --> 00:39:21,505
Did you see their faces?

525
00:39:24,088 --> 00:39:25,171
It’ll break them.

526
00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:27,630
Get the hell out!

527
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,005
You are a lair!

528
00:39:29,171 --> 00:39:30,713
How do you know he’s dead?

529
00:39:31,005 --> 00:39:33,338
My son is alive! Got it?

530
00:39:33,713 --> 00:39:34,920
He’s not dead!

531
00:39:34,921 --> 00:39:36,754
Mummy! - Get out of here!

532
00:39:36,755 --> 00:39:38,504
Mummy, please come… - You liar!

533
00:39:38,505 --> 00:39:41,255
My son is alive! Mummy, come inside!

534
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:43,796
Every other day corpses show up.

535
00:39:44,796 --> 00:39:47,130
We're tired of writing to your government.

536
00:39:48,588 --> 00:39:50,379
No one does anything about it.

537
00:39:50,380 --> 00:39:51,755
Another 6 or 7 today.

538
00:39:52,546 --> 00:39:54,380
Clogged up the barrage all night.

539
00:39:54,838 --> 00:39:56,796
Polluted the entire canal.

540
00:39:57,505 --> 00:40:00,130
You expect us to drink this water?

541
00:40:03,380 --> 00:40:05,671
This is a fight for human rights.

542
00:40:05,838 --> 00:40:07,213
For all of us.

543
00:40:07,546 --> 00:40:09,713
This is Navdeep’s fight.

544
00:40:10,046 --> 00:40:11,880
We’ve acquired some government files…

545
00:40:12,005 --> 00:40:15,713
… with detailed records of our deceased brothers.

546
00:40:15,921 --> 00:40:18,171
And we want answers from the government.

547
00:40:18,463 --> 00:40:20,212
That’s why we’re all here.

548
00:40:20,213 --> 00:40:20,755
Yes.

549
00:40:21,588 --> 00:40:23,421
You will go away son…

550
00:40:23,713 --> 00:40:27,088
If the police breaks down our door, how are we supposed to find you?

551
00:40:34,796 --> 00:40:36,796
Here you go, Jaswant Singh. Your cards.

552
00:40:36,963 --> 00:40:38,921
Ten boxes full. Check them.

553
00:40:42,255 --> 00:40:42,921
Okay?

554
00:40:45,088 --> 00:40:45,630
Yes.

555
00:40:46,463 --> 00:40:48,671
If anyone comes, give them this card.

556
00:40:49,421 --> 00:40:51,213
Even to the police.

557
00:40:51,796 --> 00:40:54,338
It has my name, address and number.

558
00:40:54,755 --> 00:40:56,921
You folks have no reason to fear.

559
00:40:57,421 --> 00:41:00,338
Nobody can take away our right to find our loved ones.

560
00:41:01,296 --> 00:41:03,380
And the government will only give answers...

561
00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:06,213
when we come forward and ask for answers.

562
00:41:06,338 --> 00:41:07,755
And demand our right.

563
00:41:08,463 --> 00:41:11,796
Tell us where to go, son. I’ll go with you.

564
00:41:22,171 --> 00:41:23,463
All this is fine, advocate…

565
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:25,963
But you have no locus-standi.

566
00:41:26,213 --> 00:41:28,255
To file these petitions,

567
00:41:28,546 --> 00:41:31,255
you need to bring all their families to court.

568
00:41:32,005 --> 00:41:34,880
You can’t file the petitions independently.

569
00:41:35,296 --> 00:41:37,130
And all this is meaningless without the families.

570
00:41:38,255 --> 00:41:39,296
Absolutely, your honour.

571
00:41:41,255 --> 00:41:43,046
That’s why we’ve brought the families with us.

572
00:41:46,838 --> 00:41:48,005
That’s it?

573
00:41:50,046 --> 00:41:51,796
Your figures are much higher.

574
00:41:51,921 --> 00:41:54,213
See we had to make a start somewhere so…

575
00:41:55,046 --> 00:41:56,255
You can start with these.

576
00:41:56,546 --> 00:41:59,963
Once the court shows courage, the rest will follow.

577
00:42:22,505 --> 00:42:24,755
What is this human rights issue?

578
00:42:25,671 --> 00:42:27,963
It’s in all the newspapers in New Delhi.

579
00:42:30,630 --> 00:42:34,088
The reputation of the Punjab Police and the government is at stake.

580
00:42:35,046 --> 00:42:38,296
Mr. Bitta… handle it please.

581
00:42:38,671 --> 00:42:39,838
Sir...

582
00:42:40,630 --> 00:42:42,421
Have you followed the Gulf war?

583
00:42:42,963 --> 00:42:45,171
And now the ongoing Chechen war?

584
00:42:45,380 --> 00:42:46,338
Sir do you know…

585
00:42:46,671 --> 00:42:52,630
… how much noise these human rights people make all over the world?

586
00:42:53,338 --> 00:42:57,171
I mean... it's just a gimmick for attention.

587
00:42:57,588 --> 00:42:59,005
Just ignore it, sir.

588
00:43:01,546 --> 00:43:04,546
And who is this Jaswant Singh?

589
00:43:06,713 --> 00:43:08,630
I’ll handle it.

590
00:43:38,546 --> 00:43:39,796
What’re you looking at?

591
00:43:41,546 --> 00:43:43,713
It’s been here all night.

592
00:43:56,838 --> 00:43:58,296
You’ve been here all night.

593
00:43:59,171 --> 00:44:00,505
Must be tired.

594
00:44:01,380 --> 00:44:02,921
It’s tea time, so I brought some.

595
00:44:09,171 --> 00:44:10,255
Just one request…

596
00:44:10,546 --> 00:44:12,130
I have to take the kids to school.

597
00:44:12,463 --> 00:44:14,380
Once you finish, please keep the cups inside.

598
00:44:30,088 --> 00:44:32,171
Sir, greetings.

599
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:40,338
56 people have surrendered today.

600
00:44:41,546 --> 00:44:44,546
This is neither a victory for us…

601
00:44:45,171 --> 00:44:47,713
… nor is it a loss for the terrorists.

602
00:44:48,505 --> 00:44:51,713
If it’s a loss, it is a loss for all Punjabis.

603
00:44:52,380 --> 00:44:56,505
And if it’s a win, then it’s a win for all Punjabis…

604
00:44:56,713 --> 00:45:01,255
… that peace is finally returning to Punjab.

605
00:45:05,505 --> 00:45:10,005
But there are some people who are unable to digest this peace.

606
00:45:10,713 --> 00:45:14,463
And foremost among them are these human rights people.

607
00:45:15,380 --> 00:45:18,713
Those that they’re calling ‘unclaimed bodies’...

608
00:45:19,088 --> 00:45:24,338
are in reality working in Europe and America as menial workers,

609
00:45:24,796 --> 00:45:29,130
or driving taxis to feed themselves and their families.

610
00:45:30,338 --> 00:45:31,670
And over here,

611
00:45:31,671 --> 00:45:33,379
these human rights people...

612
00:45:33,380 --> 00:45:36,463
... are running their own propaganda against the police.

613
00:45:37,338 --> 00:45:38,671
In reality, these people...

614
00:45:39,463 --> 00:45:41,880
are mere puppets of foreign powers.

615
00:45:43,046 --> 00:45:43,921
And now…

616
00:45:44,338 --> 00:45:48,295
We must protect our Punjab from these people.

617
00:45:48,296 --> 00:45:50,088
If these missing people

618
00:45:50,380 --> 00:45:54,421
have become menial workers in Europe and America, or driving taxis…

619
00:45:55,171 --> 00:45:56,712
Then I’d like to ask Mr. Bitta

620
00:45:56,713 --> 00:46:00,046
why their names are in cremation registers instead of visa files?

621
00:46:00,505 --> 00:46:04,088
Be it the body is of a rebel or a common man,

622
00:46:04,671 --> 00:46:07,129
only their family has a legal claim on it.

623
00:46:07,130 --> 00:46:09,005
Look at these figures.

624
00:46:10,546 --> 00:46:12,338
Patti, Durgiana and Tarn Taran.

625
00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:14,754
From just 3 crematoria in Amritsar district,

626
00:46:14,755 --> 00:46:18,130
we found over 2000 names that were marked ‘unclaimed’.

627
00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:20,213
Including their addresses.

628
00:46:20,671 --> 00:46:22,630
So why weren’t their bodies returned to their families?

629
00:46:23,130 --> 00:46:27,296
And the list also has the names and signatures of the policemen who brought the bodies.

630
00:46:27,630 --> 00:46:32,338
By our estimate, considering all the cremation grounds, this figure it at least 25,000.

631
00:46:33,005 --> 00:46:36,838
And most of them are youths under the age of 30.

632
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:42,630
This is Nyara Singh and Amrik Singh.

633
00:46:42,963 --> 00:46:45,171
Both were respectable officers in a big bank.

634
00:46:45,338 --> 00:46:46,338
One day they disappeared.

635
00:46:47,046 --> 00:46:50,046
We found out that they too were marked ‘unclaimed’ and cremated.

636
00:46:51,255 --> 00:46:53,296
Have they also fled abroad to become menial workers?

637
00:46:53,505 --> 00:46:57,296
Post emergency the Punjab government has given carte-blanche to the police.

638
00:46:57,755 --> 00:46:59,213
Sikhs are killing Sikhs...

639
00:46:59,380 --> 00:47:01,921
while the people in power are getting rich and fat.

640
00:47:02,255 --> 00:47:03,962
And the state and the courts...

641
00:47:03,963 --> 00:47:06,629
have shut their eyes to the overwhelming evidence in front of them.

642
00:47:06,630 --> 00:47:09,045
That’s why we’ve appealed to international human rights agencies

643
00:47:09,046 --> 00:47:11,838
and the World Sikh Organisation for help.

644
00:47:12,171 --> 00:47:14,505
We are not anti-police or anti-government.

645
00:47:14,921 --> 00:47:17,795
We’re only against those people who, for their own promotions,

646
00:47:17,796 --> 00:47:20,505
have crossed all the boundaries of humanity.

647
00:47:21,296 --> 00:47:24,213
And for this I challenge Mr. Bitta to an open debate.

648
00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:26,421
That he come forward and answer our questions.

649
00:47:45,671 --> 00:47:49,671
The matter on human rights violations is being investigated.

650
00:47:50,963 --> 00:47:55,963
You'll be getting the full report very soon.

651
00:47:56,713 --> 00:48:00,087
Sir, the Rajasthan government has been claiming for some time now

652
00:48:00,088 --> 00:48:02,546
that countless bodies have been flowing in from Punjab’s canals.

653
00:48:03,130 --> 00:48:06,338
And this has been under investigation as well, but no result yet.

654
00:48:07,380 --> 00:48:08,671
Any explanation sir?

655
00:48:10,296 --> 00:48:11,046
The...

656
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,838
bodies being found in Rajasthan are completely unverified.

657
00:48:17,796 --> 00:48:23,588
And accidents happen near the canals all the time.

658
00:48:24,546 --> 00:48:28,421
A lot of people slip and fall in and...

659
00:48:28,921 --> 00:48:31,130
unfortunately they drown.

660
00:48:31,546 --> 00:48:33,005
It’s sad…

661
00:48:33,588 --> 00:48:36,921
It’s tragic but there is no conspiracy.

662
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,338
Bitta sir… there are rumours you’ll be getting another two year extension?

663
00:48:43,296 --> 00:48:45,921
This is a government decision.

664
00:48:46,380 --> 00:48:47,505
And I leave it to them.

665
00:48:47,796 --> 00:48:48,421
Sir...

666
00:48:48,796 --> 00:48:52,046
The open debate that Jaswant Singh has challenged you to…

667
00:48:52,421 --> 00:48:54,046
Would you like to comment on that?

668
00:48:55,046 --> 00:48:56,546
When and where will this debate take place?

669
00:48:57,671 --> 00:48:59,255
Who is he to -

670
00:49:00,421 --> 00:49:01,255
Thank you.

671
00:49:02,380 --> 00:49:03,920
Thank you for coming. - Excuse me, sir!

672
00:49:03,921 --> 00:49:06,005
And thank you everybody.

673
00:49:06,671 --> 00:49:09,671
And yes, please have some snacks before leaving.

674
00:49:10,505 --> 00:49:12,838
Sir you never answered my question. Sir...

675
00:49:13,213 --> 00:49:18,838
I don’t know about your Gulf and Chechen or whatever, but...

676
00:49:19,213 --> 00:49:21,880
Things are definitely getting out of hand here.

677
00:49:22,213 --> 00:49:23,463
You must have seen this.

678
00:49:23,796 --> 00:49:25,504
I need a small favour from you.

679
00:49:25,505 --> 00:49:27,796
Sir, one official picture, please.

680
00:49:30,505 --> 00:49:32,463
Anything to end this mess.

681
00:49:35,005 --> 00:49:38,005
Yesterday you said it would take another week to get out.

682
00:49:39,046 --> 00:49:41,213
What changed overnight?

683
00:49:41,796 --> 00:49:43,838
The DGP will fill you in.

684
00:49:49,421 --> 00:49:51,171
I’m sending you to Tarn Taran.

685
00:49:52,088 --> 00:49:53,338
As Senior Superintendent of Police

686
00:49:53,463 --> 00:49:54,505
Sir.

687
00:49:54,755 --> 00:49:57,546
And you will report only to me.

688
00:49:57,963 --> 00:50:00,963
Sir, I give you my word.

689
00:50:08,213 --> 00:50:09,338
Sir…

690
00:50:23,421 --> 00:50:24,880
Sugga was a loose cannon.

691
00:50:25,046 --> 00:50:28,046
Firing a gun was second nature to him.

692
00:50:28,630 --> 00:50:32,588
As soon as he took charge, abductions, killings and encounters increased.

693
00:50:35,088 --> 00:50:37,046
There was panic everywhere.

694
00:50:38,130 --> 00:50:42,213
An entire generation was being wiped out from Punjab in the name of terrorism.

695
00:50:43,588 --> 00:50:47,463
This bloodshed had been going on for the past ten years.

696
00:50:47,755 --> 00:50:50,505
And the everyone was silent on this whole issue.

697
00:50:51,963 --> 00:50:55,505
The whole issue of human rights violations was being ignored.

698
00:50:59,255 --> 00:51:00,921
Far from trust...

699
00:51:01,505 --> 00:51:03,796
There was fear in the hearts of the people...

700
00:51:04,046 --> 00:51:06,838
which Jaswant Singh and his team fought with all their might.

701
00:51:08,713 --> 00:51:15,088
Punjab Police, answer us! - Answer us!

702
00:51:15,421 --> 00:51:19,213
We demand CBI Inquiry!

703
00:51:19,338 --> 00:51:22,880
Down with Surjit Singh Sugga!

704
00:51:26,255 --> 00:51:27,005
Hello.

705
00:51:28,171 --> 00:51:28,921
Hello.

706
00:51:29,213 --> 00:51:32,796
Yes hello... it's not too late yet. Talk some sense into him!

707
00:51:33,130 --> 00:51:35,630
Doesn’t he have any concern for his family?

708
00:51:46,963 --> 00:51:48,546
Invitation from Canada.

709
00:51:49,338 --> 00:51:50,880
They've called you on a special permit.

710
00:51:52,338 --> 00:51:53,629
The World Sikh Organisation...

711
00:51:53,630 --> 00:51:57,421
and international human rights agencies want to hear us out.

712
00:51:57,921 --> 00:52:00,921
It’s time to tell the world what’s going on here, Jassi.

713
00:52:02,296 --> 00:52:04,005
This could be our last chance.

714
00:52:05,046 --> 00:52:06,421
Think about it.

715
00:52:30,463 --> 00:52:33,296
Coming to Canada was a crucial step for Jaswant Singh.

716
00:52:34,713 --> 00:52:40,630
This invitation gave Jaswant the chance to present his report on the world's stage.

717
00:52:41,505 --> 00:52:45,421
The Khalsa belongs to God, Victory belongs to God.

718
00:52:46,255 --> 00:52:49,046
I’ve come to this country on a special mission,

719
00:52:50,130 --> 00:52:53,505
to present before you a very important report on human rights.

720
00:52:54,546 --> 00:52:59,421
This report talks about the last ten years of oppression in Punjab.

721
00:53:00,213 --> 00:53:04,463
It talks about thousands of mothers still waiting for their children to return.

722
00:53:05,213 --> 00:53:07,296
Just one question in their eyes.

723
00:53:07,838 --> 00:53:12,005
That someone find out if their children are still in this world.

724
00:53:18,505 --> 00:53:21,505
When we reached the cremation grounds in search of our loved ones,

725
00:53:21,630 --> 00:53:26,255
we found a complete written account of all our lost brothers,

726
00:53:27,005 --> 00:53:30,296
marked ‘unclaimed’ in government registers and cremated.

727
00:53:31,005 --> 00:53:33,046
They say a thief always leaves a clue.

728
00:53:33,671 --> 00:53:35,505
These thieves left so many clues,

729
00:53:35,921 --> 00:53:39,671
that in just 3 cremation grounds in Amritsar - Patti, Durgiana and Tarn Taran,

730
00:53:40,338 --> 00:53:43,046
we found records of 2097 people.

731
00:53:43,713 --> 00:53:46,255
A figure that has since increased to 6017.

732
00:53:46,796 --> 00:53:47,837
According to these numbers,

733
00:53:47,838 --> 00:53:51,212
the number of 'unclaimed’ bodies in all of Punjab is estimated

734
00:53:51,213 --> 00:53:52,671
to be approximately 25,000.

735
00:53:54,005 --> 00:53:56,213
And we appealed to our government as well,

736
00:53:56,630 --> 00:53:58,463
but our words fell on deaf ears.

737
00:54:00,546 --> 00:54:04,255
A mockery has been made of justice, of the law, of an entire community!

738
00:54:04,755 --> 00:54:07,963
And a mockery has been made of all those families who ask nothing more of their government...

739
00:54:08,630 --> 00:54:11,213
than their children’s death certificates.

740
00:54:11,630 --> 00:54:15,671
To those who brand us terrorists and communalists,

741
00:54:16,755 --> 00:54:18,838
I’d like to appeal to them.

742
00:54:19,338 --> 00:54:20,463
People of the world...

743
00:54:21,546 --> 00:54:23,796
those whom you consider the messiahs of peace

744
00:54:24,921 --> 00:54:26,463
and the prophets of democracy...

745
00:54:27,088 --> 00:54:29,963
first recognize their truth, and then tell us...

746
00:54:31,463 --> 00:54:34,380
who is the terrorist and who is the righteous.

747
00:54:48,296 --> 00:54:51,630
The Khalsa belongs to God, Victory belongs to God.

748
00:54:59,755 --> 00:55:01,505
You’ll be taken care of here.

749
00:55:02,421 --> 00:55:04,755
You and your family will be safe.

750
00:55:05,838 --> 00:55:11,130
Thank you. But it’s not just about me or my family.

751
00:55:11,963 --> 00:55:14,255
It’s about thousands of families

752
00:55:14,546 --> 00:55:16,171
who have been betrayed,

753
00:55:16,380 --> 00:55:18,880
and are all living in fear.

754
00:55:19,046 --> 00:55:23,088
I know Jaswant, but I’m serious.

755
00:55:24,046 --> 00:55:25,671
You could get killed back home.

756
00:55:28,130 --> 00:55:30,838
Take the asylum, please!

757
00:55:32,046 --> 00:55:33,338
If I take the asylum,

758
00:55:37,713 --> 00:55:39,005
this mission dies.

759
00:55:44,463 --> 00:55:46,005
Take care of yourself.

760
00:55:48,713 --> 00:55:51,296
Jaswant’s efforts paid off.

761
00:55:52,171 --> 00:55:55,171
The Punjab government was feeling the pressure.

762
00:55:57,838 --> 00:56:03,671
And Amnesty urged the Punjab government to provide Jaswant with extra security.

763
00:56:16,255 --> 00:56:18,296
You’re refusing extra security?

764
00:56:19,005 --> 00:56:21,463
Do you know how special you have to be to get security?

765
00:56:22,505 --> 00:56:24,505
Don’t refuse it, sir. Take it.

766
00:56:34,338 --> 00:56:35,421
You’re his father, right?

767
00:56:36,380 --> 00:56:37,671
Uncle, make him understand.

768
00:56:38,213 --> 00:56:39,630
You’re getting four guys.

769
00:56:40,255 --> 00:56:41,505
Two with him at all times.

770
00:56:41,671 --> 00:56:43,588
And two standing vigilant at the gate. Left - right.

771
00:56:44,255 --> 00:56:47,671
You’ll become a big man at this age, a VIP.

772
00:56:48,421 --> 00:56:50,713
And Mr. Singh is also there. He'll keep stopping by.

773
00:56:51,921 --> 00:56:52,963
Much appreciated.

774
00:56:54,546 --> 00:56:55,795
But if you have to give security,

775
00:56:55,796 --> 00:56:58,546
give it to those families living in fear of the police.

776
00:57:03,963 --> 00:57:04,588
Hello.

777
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:06,130
Yes, one minute…

778
00:57:07,630 --> 00:57:08,796
MLA Mahinderpal Singh on the line.

779
00:57:15,046 --> 00:57:16,546
Yes, this is Jaswant Singh.

780
00:57:17,005 --> 00:57:20,005
What good is Spring,

781
00:57:20,171 --> 00:57:22,255
if one does not have loving worship of God?

782
00:57:22,588 --> 00:57:25,421
Forgetting the Eternal, our True Friend;

783
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,671
One is engrossed in worldly illusion.

784
00:57:28,005 --> 00:57:31,045
Sons, wives, friends, and wealth shall not go with you;

785
00:57:31,046 --> 00:57:33,171
only the imperishable wealth of the Eternal will go with you.

786
00:57:33,380 --> 00:57:35,880
Those entangled in false affairs are destroyed;

787
00:57:36,130 --> 00:57:38,005
they are lost in the love of duality.

788
00:57:38,338 --> 00:57:43,630
Without the Name of the Divine, nothing is of any use;

789
00:57:43,755 --> 00:57:48,296
There is no Lord except the one Divine.

790
00:57:48,463 --> 00:57:53,296
Those who remain absorbed in the Lord and renounce all, obtain him.

791
00:57:53,546 --> 00:57:56,630
O Nanak, this is my prayer to God:

792
00:57:56,963 --> 00:57:59,546
Please, let me meet the Lord.

793
00:57:59,713 --> 00:58:04,963
I heard about the ripples you made in Canada.

794
00:58:09,296 --> 00:58:10,838
I’m only doing my work.

795
00:58:14,130 --> 00:58:18,005
But going abroad and slandering your own people…

796
00:58:19,296 --> 00:58:20,421
Is that right?

797
00:58:26,588 --> 00:58:30,796
Don’t you think we should keep our problems to ourselves?

798
00:58:31,380 --> 00:58:34,005
We’ve been keeping our problems to ourselves since 1984.

799
00:58:35,130 --> 00:58:36,755
But it's only been getting worse.

800
00:58:38,005 --> 00:58:39,630
Somebody needs to stop this.

801
00:58:42,255 --> 00:58:44,921
You have a small family.

802
00:58:46,380 --> 00:58:49,463
Should anything unfortunate happen tomorrow...

803
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:51,630
Who will take care of them?

804
00:58:53,213 --> 00:58:56,880
I heard you refused security as well.

805
00:58:58,005 --> 00:59:00,213
You talk about one family.

806
00:59:01,421 --> 00:59:03,129
I’m talking about all those families

807
00:59:03,130 --> 00:59:06,421
whose loved ones were declared ‘unclaimed’.

808
00:59:14,046 --> 00:59:16,088
When an ant bites,

809
00:59:16,921 --> 00:59:18,296
you don’t debate with it.

810
00:59:19,671 --> 00:59:21,130
You stomp it dead.

811
00:59:22,046 --> 00:59:24,588
And you’re no more than an ant to these people.

812
00:59:26,671 --> 00:59:30,380
And what is this rant about 25,000 bodies?

813
00:59:33,380 --> 00:59:37,296
Sugga is just waiting for the order against you.

814
00:59:40,380 --> 00:59:44,421
I’ve kept a prayer at home, I won't lie.

815
00:59:46,088 --> 00:59:47,963
If your skin remains this thick,

816
00:59:49,213 --> 00:59:51,838
then very soon he will get that order.

817
00:59:52,755 --> 00:59:53,880
Understand?

818
00:59:58,588 --> 00:59:59,921
Thank you, goodbye.

819
01:00:08,921 --> 01:00:10,588
Bloody fool!

820
01:00:42,130 --> 01:00:44,088
Why’s Jimmy barking?

821
01:00:44,421 --> 01:00:45,505
You didn’t feed him?

822
01:00:45,671 --> 01:00:46,255
I did.

823
01:00:54,171 --> 01:00:56,088
Saag’s good, isn’t it?

824
01:01:05,338 --> 01:01:06,546
Greetings, mother.

825
01:01:17,255 --> 01:01:19,505
I can sniff out two things from a mile away.

826
01:01:21,046 --> 01:01:22,963
One, a hot plate of saag.

827
01:01:24,130 --> 01:01:25,671
And two, terrorists.

828
01:01:28,088 --> 01:01:29,046
Come, mother…

829
01:01:31,421 --> 01:01:33,630
Feed us some of your delicious saag today.

830
01:01:42,380 --> 01:01:43,255
Greetings.

831
01:02:14,088 --> 01:02:15,296
Exquisite!

832
01:02:17,755 --> 01:02:18,921
Get two more plates.

833
01:02:41,005 --> 01:02:43,046
Start. Come on.

834
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:57,296
The plates are here.

835
01:02:58,963 --> 01:03:00,588
Brings the guests. - Yes, sir.

836
01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:08,963
Let's go, come on.

837
01:03:13,088 --> 01:03:16,088
Go on, sit. Right there.

838
01:03:16,713 --> 01:03:17,588
Sit down.

839
01:03:27,546 --> 01:03:28,421
You know them?

840
01:03:30,380 --> 01:03:32,338
Yesterday, they were feared militants.

841
01:03:34,380 --> 01:03:35,630
And today...

842
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,921
They betrayed their own people.

843
01:03:42,255 --> 01:03:43,712
And those people tipped us off.

844
01:03:43,713 --> 01:03:45,713
Here, have some.

845
01:03:49,546 --> 01:03:50,963
Now you tell me…

846
01:03:51,421 --> 01:03:53,505
What’s the punishment for being a traitor?

847
01:04:00,296 --> 01:04:01,088
Eat.

848
01:04:28,796 --> 01:04:29,963
Take their plates away, mother.

849
01:04:32,088 --> 01:04:34,171
We shouldn't offend the Gods.

850
01:05:33,755 --> 01:05:37,421
Rumour has it that someone in the department is leaking inside information.

851
01:05:38,963 --> 01:05:40,546
We're just looking for him.

852
01:05:44,588 --> 01:05:47,588
You know who it is?

853
01:06:01,296 --> 01:06:02,671
I’ll come straight to the point.

854
01:06:05,838 --> 01:06:07,421
I hear Jaswant Singh is a friend of yours.

855
01:06:09,130 --> 01:06:11,046
You grew up together back in Khalra.

856
01:06:12,421 --> 01:06:14,171
When did you see him last?

857
01:06:15,213 --> 01:06:16,546
Remember anything?

858
01:06:21,046 --> 01:06:23,088
His wife’s pregnant.

859
01:06:23,671 --> 01:06:25,880
Her seventh month.

860
01:06:27,338 --> 01:06:29,046
He’s the eldest of the house.

861
01:06:30,380 --> 01:06:31,671
Please forgive him.

862
01:06:32,463 --> 01:06:33,921
Forgive him.

863
01:06:35,588 --> 01:06:37,755
For God’s sake.

864
01:06:38,713 --> 01:06:40,588
Forgive my son.

865
01:06:41,671 --> 01:06:43,338
He hasn’t done anything.

866
01:06:43,838 --> 01:06:46,838
Forgive my son, forgive him.

867
01:06:47,421 --> 01:06:48,421
Look…

868
01:06:48,963 --> 01:06:51,296
Look, I’m begging you.

869
01:06:51,588 --> 01:06:54,088
I’m begging you, please…

870
01:06:54,296 --> 01:06:55,546
Forgive him.

871
01:06:55,963 --> 01:06:58,088
Alright, mother.

872
01:06:59,005 --> 01:07:00,255
Let’s play a game.

873
01:07:01,505 --> 01:07:04,505
If it lands in my right hand, then it’s our luck.

874
01:07:07,171 --> 01:07:09,088
And if it lands in my left, then it’s his.

875
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,671
Eeni meeni miney mo…

876
01:07:18,255 --> 01:07:21,921
Catch a traitor by his toe…

877
01:07:22,338 --> 01:07:26,421
If he squeals, let him know...

878
01:07:27,088 --> 01:07:31,296
Straight to hell, he will go.

879
01:07:34,255 --> 01:07:39,171
Thank God!

880
01:07:41,046 --> 01:07:42,838
What a fortunate son, mother.

881
01:07:45,588 --> 01:07:46,171
Thank you.

882
01:07:54,671 --> 01:07:57,296
Even if I forgive you for betraying your own…

883
01:08:00,838 --> 01:08:01,671
But these...

884
01:08:03,505 --> 01:08:05,130
terrorists that were found in your home.

885
01:08:06,171 --> 01:08:07,255
What about them?

886
01:08:13,171 --> 01:08:14,421
That’s betraying your country.

887
01:08:16,796 --> 01:08:17,712
Right?

888
01:08:26,130 --> 01:08:28,212
That deserves punishment, mother.

889
01:08:55,587 --> 01:08:56,962
Good thing we found out in time.

890
01:08:57,546 --> 01:08:59,921
Or things would have gotten out of hand.

891
01:09:00,630 --> 01:09:03,046
We found out around 9-9:30 last night.

892
01:09:03,546 --> 01:09:05,380
We found these weapons, sir.

893
01:09:07,255 --> 01:09:10,255
Were they going to blow up the whole village with this arsenal?

894
01:09:10,587 --> 01:09:12,671
Who knows what they were up to.

895
01:09:14,087 --> 01:09:16,630
Do an inventory of these weapons. - Yes, sir.

896
01:09:17,212 --> 01:09:19,837
Then get witness testimonies and send these bodies for postmortem.

897
01:09:21,380 --> 01:09:24,087
3 AK-47s. - Yes sir.

898
01:09:24,337 --> 01:09:26,337
2 Carbines. - Yes sir.

899
01:09:27,046 --> 01:09:28,337
5 Mausers.

900
01:09:28,587 --> 01:09:30,046
Yes sir.

901
01:10:55,463 --> 01:10:57,171
What are you doing this late?

902
01:10:59,171 --> 01:11:00,463
I'm sleeping here from tonight.

903
01:11:01,380 --> 01:11:04,505
If they come, they'll find me first.

904
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,296
At least they won’t get to you and the kids.

905
01:11:16,463 --> 01:11:19,463
First time I’m seeing you this scared.

906
01:11:22,505 --> 01:11:24,713
I'm not scared for myself, Pammi.

907
01:11:27,546 --> 01:11:28,963
You asked me, didn’t you…

908
01:11:29,671 --> 01:11:31,463
Whoever steps up, what about their family?

909
01:11:34,088 --> 01:11:36,671
This decision is for my family.

910
01:11:40,963 --> 01:11:42,880
I’ve come too far, Pammi.

911
01:11:46,088 --> 01:11:48,505
It’s been three months since we filed our petition.

912
01:11:49,296 --> 01:11:50,921
But still no answers.

913
01:11:51,963 --> 01:11:55,796
And in response, my family and I are being threatened.

914
01:11:56,921 --> 01:11:58,338
We’re being watched.

915
01:11:59,255 --> 01:12:02,255
But I’d like to let them know that their threats won’t work.

916
01:12:03,088 --> 01:12:04,921
If something happens to me tomorrow…

917
01:12:05,255 --> 01:12:07,005
If a car or a truck runs me over,

918
01:12:07,671 --> 01:12:10,963
if I get shot, or if you find my body floating in some canal...

919
01:12:11,546 --> 01:12:14,088
then no single cop will be to blame.

920
01:12:14,588 --> 01:12:17,796
The blame will fall on the Punjab government and DGP Bitta,

921
01:12:18,838 --> 01:12:21,838
who have given free reign to men like SSP Sugga.

922
01:12:24,713 --> 01:12:25,921
Hey, calm down.

923
01:12:26,713 --> 01:12:28,171
We are at war.

924
01:12:28,755 --> 01:12:32,630
We’ve been fighting a low-intensity proxy war for the last ten years.

925
01:12:33,630 --> 01:12:38,671
While it is every citizen's democratic right to ask questions,

926
01:12:39,213 --> 01:12:41,338
you must also remember,

927
01:12:41,463 --> 01:12:45,546
it is because of us that you have that right.

928
01:12:46,213 --> 01:12:49,421
Or else Punjab would have become a militant state a long time ago.

929
01:12:51,255 --> 01:12:52,588
You see...

930
01:12:52,921 --> 01:12:54,880
War and peace

931
01:12:55,255 --> 01:12:58,255
are two sides of the same coin.

932
01:12:59,046 --> 01:13:11,963
'The Divine Truth'

933
01:13:13,171 --> 01:13:19,546
leads me to the Light.

934
01:13:20,838 --> 01:13:28,796
The battle drum beats in my mind’s sky

935
01:13:29,380 --> 01:13:35,921
Aim is taken and the wound is inflicted.

936
01:13:36,671 --> 01:13:46,630
The spiritual warriors enter the field of battle.

937
01:13:48,088 --> 01:13:56,921
Now is the time to fight.

938
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:03,630
He alone is known as a spiritual warrior

939
01:14:04,505 --> 01:14:10,380
who fights in defense of his faith.

940
01:14:17,380 --> 01:14:20,380
Piece by piece,

941
01:14:21,005 --> 01:14:24,880
he is cut apart.

942
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,420
We have just learned that at approximately 9:30 this morning,

943
01:14:28,421 --> 01:14:32,505
CM Anant Singh was killed in an explosion at the Chandigarh secretariat.

944
01:14:32,671 --> 01:14:36,712
CM Anant Singh’s assassin, Dilbag Singh, was a member of the CM’s own security detail.

945
01:14:36,713 --> 01:14:43,338
But he never leaves the field of battle.

946
01:14:47,130 --> 01:14:49,546
17 people were blown to shreds in the blast.

947
01:14:50,630 --> 01:14:53,588
Nobody knew who was burning in the casket.

948
01:14:55,213 --> 01:14:58,796
And this entire mess was being seen as DGP Bitta’s security failure.

949
01:14:59,171 --> 01:15:03,796
The question is, will DGP Bitta take responsibility for his security failure?

950
01:15:04,046 --> 01:15:06,380
Human rights activist, Jaswant Singh

951
01:15:06,630 --> 01:15:10,504
is holding the Punjab Police responsible for the innocent lives lost

952
01:15:10,505 --> 01:15:16,130
and is demanding answers from the new CM, Gurcharan Singh Bohra, and DGP Bitta.

953
01:15:24,463 --> 01:15:27,921
'Verse chanting'

954
01:15:29,005 --> 01:15:30,296
And what does this mean?

955
01:15:30,713 --> 01:15:34,338
'Sorrow and suffering cannot touch those who walk with God.'

956
01:15:34,505 --> 01:15:37,463
Very good! - Thank you.

957
01:15:37,713 --> 01:15:41,712
Here Sanjiv, your tea. Come on, let's go Kiran.

958
01:15:41,713 --> 01:15:43,755
Coming, coming.

959
01:15:44,505 --> 01:15:46,088
Hurry up, Kiran.

960
01:15:46,588 --> 01:15:47,630
Bye! - Hurry up.

961
01:15:47,838 --> 01:15:48,755
Bye, bye...

962
01:15:51,255 --> 01:15:52,420
Sanjiv, you finish your tea.

963
01:15:52,421 --> 01:15:54,171
I'll just wash the car, then we'll leave together.

964
01:15:54,296 --> 01:15:55,005
Sure.

965
01:16:04,005 --> 01:16:06,254
Jaswant Singh... Come, we need to talk. - Talk about what?

966
01:16:06,255 --> 01:16:09,463
Come on, Get in! - But what's the matter? Sanjiv!

967
01:16:09,671 --> 01:16:10,921
Sanjiv! - Get inside!

968
01:16:12,255 --> 01:16:13,380
Sanjiv!

969
01:16:15,088 --> 01:16:17,504
Sanjiv! - Move it, come on!

970
01:16:17,505 --> 01:16:18,463
Sanjiv, come out!

971
01:16:19,296 --> 01:16:20,213
Sanjiv!

972
01:16:20,630 --> 01:16:22,171
Get lost! - Let's go, let's go!

973
01:16:22,380 --> 01:16:23,588
Drive, drive! - Stop!

974
01:16:23,755 --> 01:16:25,171
Come on, drive! Hurry up! - Stop the car!

975
01:16:52,755 --> 01:16:55,962
Long live Jaswant Singh!

976
01:16:55,963 --> 01:16:59,420
Bring back Jaswant Singh!

977
01:16:59,421 --> 01:17:02,296
More than 48 hours had passed since Jaswant Singh’s abduction.

978
01:17:03,213 --> 01:17:05,670
Protests and vigils broke out all over Punjab.

979
01:17:05,671 --> 01:17:07,129
Long live the 'brothers of the unclaimed'.

980
01:17:07,130 --> 01:17:08,588
And they all had one demand...

981
01:17:09,588 --> 01:17:10,880
‘Return Jaswant Singh’.

982
01:17:12,755 --> 01:17:14,588
Despite two eye-witnesses,

983
01:17:15,505 --> 01:17:19,255
the silence of the government echoed not just in Punjab,

984
01:17:20,255 --> 01:17:21,880
but all over the world.

985
01:17:22,505 --> 01:17:28,671
I urge the courts in India to conduct a fair and immediate investigation of this crime.

986
01:17:29,213 --> 01:17:32,671
And to demand justice for Jaswant Singh and his family.

987
01:17:33,463 --> 01:17:36,921
Is the silence of cremation grounds akin to peace?

988
01:17:38,046 --> 01:17:40,546
Are human rights only for the living?

989
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,005
Not the dead?

990
01:17:43,046 --> 01:17:48,130
For raising these two questions, Jaswant Singh was abducted from his home in broad daylight.

991
01:17:48,755 --> 01:17:50,921
Only a few days ago, right here...

992
01:17:51,171 --> 01:17:55,796
Jaswant Singh told the world who’d be to blame if something were to happen to him.

993
01:17:56,671 --> 01:18:01,380
And I demand to know from this country’s Supreme Court and the Punjab government.

994
01:18:03,046 --> 01:18:04,630
Where is Jaswant Singh?

995
01:18:05,671 --> 01:18:08,046
People do not simply vanish into thin air.

996
01:18:08,963 --> 01:18:12,838
This court gives the Punjab Police two months...

997
01:18:13,713 --> 01:18:15,505
to find Jaswant Singh

998
01:18:16,088 --> 01:18:17,755
and present him in court.

999
01:18:18,005 --> 01:18:20,796
And if they are unsuccessful,

1000
01:18:21,588 --> 01:18:24,546
the court will order a CBI inquiry into this case.

1001
01:18:25,713 --> 01:18:28,380
It’s a simple case of disappearance, Mr. Bohra.

1002
01:18:29,713 --> 01:18:31,213
There’s no conspiracy here.

1003
01:18:32,505 --> 01:18:34,921
This case has become an embarrassment for us.

1004
01:18:36,546 --> 01:18:38,046
Punjab's image is getting tainted.

1005
01:18:39,171 --> 01:18:41,963
And New Delhi isn’t happy about this either.

1006
01:18:43,421 --> 01:18:46,380
‘Image handling’ is a politician’s job, Mr. Bohra,

1007
01:18:47,338 --> 01:18:48,338
not the police’s.

1008
01:18:48,921 --> 01:18:51,713
I have eliminated militancy in Punjab.

1009
01:18:52,588 --> 01:18:56,505
And it was New Delhi that gave me this responsibility.

1010
01:18:57,630 --> 01:19:01,421
And when you’re dealing with terrorism, you have to be ruthless.

1011
01:19:02,713 --> 01:19:04,421
If I have blood on my hands,

1012
01:19:05,588 --> 01:19:06,421
so do they.

1013
01:19:08,088 --> 01:19:09,838
Times have changed, Mr. Bitta.

1014
01:19:11,296 --> 01:19:12,338
And so has New Delhi's intentions.

1015
01:19:14,088 --> 01:19:15,296
And as for Punjab...

1016
01:19:16,505 --> 01:19:19,296
I will not let it remain a police state any longer.

1017
01:19:20,421 --> 01:19:22,380
You did your job. Just step aside...

1018
01:19:23,213 --> 01:19:25,005
and let bureaucracy take over.

1019
01:19:25,630 --> 01:19:30,296
The Supreme Court has given you two months.

1020
01:19:31,588 --> 01:19:32,338
I suggest...

1021
01:19:33,421 --> 01:19:34,838
... you use it to find Jaswant Singh.

1022
01:19:35,630 --> 01:19:37,963
Jaswant Singh is a case of disappearance,

1023
01:19:39,838 --> 01:19:41,505
so it could take some time.

1024
01:19:42,005 --> 01:19:45,255
You’re retiring in three months, remember?

1025
01:19:46,588 --> 01:19:50,713
Your government has promised me an extension, Mr. Bohra.

1026
01:19:51,463 --> 01:19:54,546
Then let’s assume...

1027
01:19:54,713 --> 01:19:57,088
... you need Jaswant Singh’s signature on your extension letter.

1028
01:19:59,130 --> 01:20:00,088
Okay?

1029
01:20:02,213 --> 01:20:02,755
Sir.

1030
01:20:03,213 --> 01:20:06,421
In this country, things get done only when New Delhi gets moving.

1031
01:20:07,546 --> 01:20:10,338
The time given to the Punjab Police was up,

1032
01:20:11,046 --> 01:20:13,838
while international pressure kept mounting.

1033
01:20:15,380 --> 01:20:19,296
And the Supreme Court decided to hand this case to the CBI.

1034
01:20:19,713 --> 01:20:21,630
And finding Jaswant Singh...

1035
01:20:21,838 --> 01:20:22,921
was now my responsibility.

1036
01:20:48,713 --> 01:20:51,671
'Association of Disappeared People' 'Amritsar, Punjab'

1037
01:20:53,630 --> 01:20:54,255
Paramjit Kaur?

1038
01:20:56,380 --> 01:20:57,213
Yes?

1039
01:20:58,463 --> 01:20:59,213
That’s me.

1040
01:21:03,963 --> 01:21:07,296
Samudra Singh, Additional Director, CBI Delhi.

1041
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:10,213
We need to talk to you.

1042
01:21:16,630 --> 01:21:17,588
6th September...

1043
01:21:19,713 --> 01:21:20,796
Forgive me...

1044
01:21:22,046 --> 01:21:24,755
You must have recalled this day several times.

1045
01:21:26,463 --> 01:21:27,588
But if you would still...

1046
01:21:28,463 --> 01:21:29,213
Sure.

1047
01:21:33,463 --> 01:21:36,255
Like every day, I left with the kids for school...

1048
01:21:36,963 --> 01:21:41,505
There was a police jeep parked at the turning with some men in plain clothes.

1049
01:21:41,838 --> 01:21:42,880
They were looking at me.

1050
01:21:43,130 --> 01:21:44,796
Do you recognise any of them?

1051
01:21:50,671 --> 01:21:51,255
Then?

1052
01:21:52,255 --> 01:21:53,380
Then around 9:30,

1053
01:21:53,963 --> 01:21:56,088
Hari Singh said there was an urgent phone call from home.

1054
01:21:57,338 --> 01:21:57,921
Hello...

1055
01:21:59,171 --> 01:22:00,046
Sanjiv?

1056
01:22:00,630 --> 01:22:01,963
It was Sanjiv on the call.

1057
01:22:03,130 --> 01:22:05,088
He told me what happened.

1058
01:22:05,755 --> 01:22:07,504
Sanjiv, the eye-witness?

1059
01:22:07,505 --> 01:22:08,421
Yes.

1060
01:22:10,421 --> 01:22:11,130
And the police?

1061
01:22:12,588 --> 01:22:13,838
Yeah, yeah, Jaswant Singh.

1062
01:22:15,005 --> 01:22:16,130
Everyone knows him.

1063
01:22:17,546 --> 01:22:18,921
He’s in the newspapers everyday.

1064
01:22:19,255 --> 01:22:22,588
But that doesn't mean we'll buy any story you sell.

1065
01:22:23,171 --> 01:22:24,921
He saw it with his own eyes.

1066
01:22:25,338 --> 01:22:27,337
They picked him up outside his house in broad daylight.

1067
01:22:27,338 --> 01:22:28,588
He must be mistaken.

1068
01:22:29,838 --> 01:22:32,421
Why would Tarn Taran cops pick up a guy in Amritsar?

1069
01:22:33,088 --> 01:22:34,546
It’s out of their jurisdiction.

1070
01:22:35,630 --> 01:22:38,005
You can't write cock-and-bull in the report.

1071
01:22:40,380 --> 01:22:41,296
Go on.

1072
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,671
Some time later, I returned home with the kids.

1073
01:22:51,505 --> 01:22:54,713
It felt like all the cops in Amritsar were at my house.

1074
01:22:55,838 --> 01:22:57,088
Whether to support or to intimidate...

1075
01:22:57,838 --> 01:22:58,671
... was unclear.

1076
01:23:01,005 --> 01:23:03,505
The police have written ‘disappeared’ and shut the files.

1077
01:23:04,296 --> 01:23:06,255
But we have no other choice.

1078
01:23:08,338 --> 01:23:10,046
We have to fight this fight ourselves.

1079
01:23:13,755 --> 01:23:14,713
Thank you.

1080
01:23:15,713 --> 01:23:17,838
We’ll meet again if we need to.

1081
01:23:18,755 --> 01:23:19,463
Goodbye.

1082
01:23:22,505 --> 01:23:23,963
At least they used to return the bodies before.

1083
01:23:24,671 --> 01:23:27,755
But seeing the condition they were returned in would make anyone rise up

1084
01:23:28,463 --> 01:23:31,255
That's why cops started declaring them ‘unclaimed’ and burning them.

1085
01:23:32,296 --> 01:23:34,213
Jaswant’s files have every little detail.

1086
01:23:35,213 --> 01:23:38,296
From the cremation lists to the municipality records.

1087
01:23:38,963 --> 01:23:40,796
But now you won’t find anything there either.

1088
01:23:41,005 --> 01:23:44,296
The government has sealed all the cremation records.

1089
01:23:45,130 --> 01:23:46,588
And whatever’s left...

1090
01:23:47,463 --> 01:23:48,130
... is here.

1091
01:23:48,921 --> 01:23:50,213
Approximately 6,500.

1092
01:24:01,505 --> 01:24:03,338
We were preparing to go to a press conference.

1093
01:24:04,755 --> 01:24:05,921
You see that terrace...

1094
01:24:07,796 --> 01:24:08,838
There was one lady.

1095
01:24:10,421 --> 01:24:11,463
I think she also saw.

1096
01:24:12,421 --> 01:24:17,088
I saw some men pushing Jaswant Singh into a red Omni.

1097
01:24:17,713 --> 01:24:19,338
I even tried to stop them.

1098
01:24:19,796 --> 01:24:22,921
I immediately recognised they were cops. Immediately, over here.

1099
01:24:23,421 --> 01:24:26,505
I saw DSP Jagpal Singh, SI Tejinder Singh

1100
01:24:26,713 --> 01:24:28,296
and SI Ajay Kumar.

1101
01:24:28,421 --> 01:24:31,463
And as I was working with Punjab Daily at that point of time,

1102
01:24:32,255 --> 01:24:35,546
I know it was Tarn Taran police which had abducted Mr. Jaswant Singh.

1103
01:24:36,630 --> 01:24:37,630
Myself Sanjiv Singh...

1104
01:24:38,130 --> 01:24:40,338
Punjab Daily, ex.

1105
01:24:45,713 --> 01:24:46,671
Was anyone else there?

1106
01:24:48,338 --> 01:24:48,880
Pardon?

1107
01:24:52,213 --> 01:24:55,963
There were 2-3 men in the Gypsy behind,

1108
01:24:57,755 --> 01:24:59,338
I tried but...

1109
01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:01,838
I couldn’t get a good look.

1110
01:25:04,005 --> 01:25:07,088
At around 9:30 in the morning, I was coming home with groceries.

1111
01:25:08,338 --> 01:25:12,046
when I heard the sound of a car. Honking loudly.

1112
01:25:12,546 --> 01:25:14,921
I turned and saw a red Omni coming up really fast.

1113
01:25:16,005 --> 01:25:17,921
As it slowed down to take the turn,

1114
01:25:19,005 --> 01:25:20,630
my gaze fell inside the car.

1115
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,421
“Tarn Taran police has abducted me!”

1116
01:25:23,630 --> 01:25:24,796
Jaswant Singh was inside.

1117
01:25:25,588 --> 01:25:26,713
What else did you see?

1118
01:25:28,046 --> 01:25:29,130
The car’s licence plate.

1119
01:25:30,630 --> 01:25:31,963
Dmt-1313.

1120
01:25:33,421 --> 01:25:35,213
If you have to testify in court,

1121
01:25:37,005 --> 01:25:38,005
you won’t hesitate?

1122
01:25:43,463 --> 01:25:46,588
There were 3-4 men in a red car.

1123
01:25:47,713 --> 01:25:49,255
First they approached Jaswant Singh.

1124
01:25:49,963 --> 01:25:50,921
A few words were exchanged...

1125
01:25:51,796 --> 01:25:53,796
then they forced him into the car and left.

1126
01:25:54,505 --> 01:25:55,338
Were they cops?

1127
01:25:55,713 --> 01:25:56,296
No...

1128
01:25:57,338 --> 01:25:58,046
Can't say...

1129
01:25:58,671 --> 01:26:00,213
They were all in plain clothes.

1130
01:26:01,005 --> 01:26:02,546
Do you remember anyone's face?

1131
01:26:04,130 --> 01:26:07,213
No, they all had their backs towards me.

1132
01:26:07,546 --> 01:26:08,963
That's all I saw.

1133
01:26:12,338 --> 01:26:14,046
Is Tejinder there? - Who are you?

1134
01:26:14,671 --> 01:26:16,963
You can't just barge in... - Lady, leave the way.

1135
01:26:17,421 --> 01:26:18,255
Who are you?

1136
01:26:18,380 --> 01:26:19,963
CBI, Delhi.

1137
01:26:22,088 --> 01:26:22,963
Hold up, sir...

1138
01:26:23,838 --> 01:26:24,880
Where are you off to this bright and early?

1139
01:26:25,380 --> 01:26:27,670
Going to pick up the DSP. - I see...

1140
01:26:27,671 --> 01:26:28,296
You are...?

1141
01:26:28,755 --> 01:26:29,921
DSP Jagpal Singh?

1142
01:26:30,088 --> 01:26:30,630
Yes...

1143
01:26:31,546 --> 01:26:33,338
Let's pick him up together. - What?

1144
01:26:33,463 --> 01:26:35,588
Let's go! - Let go of my hand.

1145
01:26:41,255 --> 01:26:42,755
Looking sharp, inspector!

1146
01:26:44,088 --> 01:26:45,463
Need to talk to you. Let's go.

1147
01:26:47,296 --> 01:26:48,171
Come on.

1148
01:26:49,255 --> 01:26:50,213
What's the rush?

1149
01:26:51,130 --> 01:26:52,505
We're leaving for a colleague's wedding.

1150
01:26:53,838 --> 01:26:55,005
Come back in two days.

1151
01:26:59,630 --> 01:27:01,671
It's not your wedding, it's your colleague's.

1152
01:27:02,338 --> 01:27:03,505
It'll happen without you.

1153
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,588
Picking us up like this without any prior notice...

1154
01:27:07,213 --> 01:27:08,088
It's not right.

1155
01:27:08,796 --> 01:27:11,588
Well, at least you can tell between right and wrong.

1156
01:27:12,338 --> 01:27:13,671
Now spill it, where is Jaswant Singh?

1157
01:27:14,505 --> 01:27:15,380
Jaswant Singh who?

1158
01:27:15,796 --> 01:27:17,755
Which Jaswant Singh are you talking about?

1159
01:27:18,630 --> 01:27:21,421
The one everyone in Punjab is talking about.

1160
01:27:22,630 --> 01:27:25,421
Delhi, London, Canada...

1161
01:27:26,296 --> 01:27:27,296
Everywhere.

1162
01:27:28,255 --> 01:27:29,255
He’s disappeared.

1163
01:27:31,130 --> 01:27:32,588
But we’ve written up a report.

1164
01:27:33,713 --> 01:27:35,213
The police is doing its job.

1165
01:27:35,713 --> 01:27:38,880
If the police was doing its job, we wouldn’t have had to come from Delhi.

1166
01:27:40,421 --> 01:27:42,171
I was at Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara to pay my respects.

1167
01:27:43,046 --> 01:27:45,838
And I wasn’t alone. There were 27 of us.

1168
01:27:48,921 --> 01:27:50,338
You can ask anyone.

1169
01:27:50,796 --> 01:27:51,880
You must have stayed the night then?

1170
01:27:54,130 --> 01:27:56,630
Devlok Guesthouse. It’s nearby. You can find out.

1171
01:27:56,921 --> 01:27:59,088
There are witnesses who saw you.

1172
01:27:59,338 --> 01:28:02,505
In Amritsar, on 6th September.

1173
01:28:03,463 --> 01:28:04,755
We have their testimony.

1174
01:28:05,421 --> 01:28:07,338
Their testimony is mistaken.

1175
01:28:08,546 --> 01:28:10,213
And who are these eye-witnesses?

1176
01:28:14,255 --> 01:28:16,005
You know what ‘alibi’ means?

1177
01:28:18,005 --> 01:28:19,671
Of course you do, you're CBI after all.

1178
01:28:21,546 --> 01:28:23,171
We’ve got 16 of them.

1179
01:28:25,046 --> 01:28:26,755
Ask anyone at the police station.

1180
01:28:28,755 --> 01:28:30,255
They’ll tell you where we were.

1181
01:28:34,630 --> 01:28:37,380
Looks like they’re all from the same school.

1182
01:28:46,421 --> 01:28:48,255
Let’s see.

1183
01:28:49,838 --> 01:28:52,963
Neither did we have any complaint about Jaswant Singh,

1184
01:28:53,338 --> 01:28:56,505
nor did anyone have anything against the man.

1185
01:28:58,088 --> 01:28:59,505
So why would we pick him up?

1186
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,005
Without reason.

1187
01:29:02,963 --> 01:29:03,880
Reason?

1188
01:29:06,213 --> 01:29:07,255
Here’s the reason.

1189
01:29:17,505 --> 01:29:20,338
He exposed your entire operation.

1190
01:29:21,338 --> 01:29:22,755
In front of the whole world.

1191
01:29:23,130 --> 01:29:26,713
And for fear of enquiry, you made him disappear.

1192
01:29:28,921 --> 01:29:30,255
Who gave you the order?

1193
01:29:31,463 --> 01:29:32,505
Order...

1194
01:29:35,546 --> 01:29:37,838
We’ve always had only one order.

1195
01:29:39,755 --> 01:29:41,130
To eliminate terrorism.

1196
01:29:43,421 --> 01:29:44,338
At any cost.

1197
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:48,338
You watch the news, don't you?

1198
01:29:51,005 --> 01:29:53,088
You see their weapons on the 9 o’ clock news.

1199
01:29:54,171 --> 01:29:59,380
AK-47, LMG, hand grenades, rocket launchers...

1200
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:03,505
That’s what we’re fighting against.

1201
01:30:05,588 --> 01:30:06,796
For the last ten years.

1202
01:30:09,838 --> 01:30:10,755
Everyday.

1203
01:30:11,671 --> 01:30:12,671
Day and night.

1204
01:30:17,671 --> 01:30:19,046
You talk about orders.

1205
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,255
Which of these weapons did Jaswant Singh have?

1206
01:30:32,546 --> 01:30:33,671
Who’s behind all this?

1207
01:30:38,130 --> 01:30:39,130
Sugga?

1208
01:30:41,380 --> 01:30:42,505
He’s in Chandigarh.

1209
01:30:44,380 --> 01:30:45,463
He's back in two days.

1210
01:30:50,005 --> 01:30:51,046
Ask him yourself.

1211
01:31:09,713 --> 01:31:10,505
Sir!

1212
01:31:15,046 --> 01:31:16,921
1313 red Omni. It's one of your cars?

1213
01:31:17,380 --> 01:31:18,880
Of course it’s mine, sir.

1214
01:31:19,130 --> 01:31:22,963
Number one taxi service from Jalandhar to Ludhiana.

1215
01:31:24,380 --> 01:31:26,255
Where was your 1313 on 6th September?

1216
01:31:27,796 --> 01:31:29,588
Probably on a booking, sir.

1217
01:31:31,130 --> 01:31:32,213
Why, what happened?

1218
01:31:34,463 --> 01:31:36,171
There’s no entry in your bill book.

1219
01:31:37,463 --> 01:31:39,380
It’s just crossed out in red here.

1220
01:31:39,963 --> 01:31:42,796
Oh, that’s our code for government bookings.

1221
01:31:43,963 --> 01:31:48,088
No entries or bookings needed for you folks obviously.

1222
01:31:48,796 --> 01:31:49,296
Right?

1223
01:31:50,630 --> 01:31:52,630
Us folks? What do you mean?

1224
01:31:52,921 --> 01:31:54,880
It’s clear, isn’t it?

1225
01:31:55,213 --> 01:31:57,171
You folks... cops.

1226
01:31:57,963 --> 01:31:58,838
And who were these cops?

1227
01:31:59,005 --> 01:32:03,088
Inspector Shivender Singh and SI Harinder Singh.

1228
01:32:04,005 --> 01:32:05,380
From Tarn Taran.

1229
01:32:06,671 --> 01:32:08,005
They took the car.

1230
01:32:08,505 --> 01:32:09,296
When did they take it?

1231
01:32:09,671 --> 01:32:12,463
On 5th evening. They said they were going out of town.

1232
01:32:13,255 --> 01:32:16,463
But they brought the car back in two days, on the 7th.

1233
01:32:18,546 --> 01:32:19,963
But sir, what’s the matter?

1234
01:32:21,296 --> 01:32:22,963
Where’s your 1313 right now?

1235
01:32:42,046 --> 01:32:42,963
Hold my beer.

1236
01:33:16,505 --> 01:33:17,296
Your acquaintance?

1237
01:33:19,296 --> 01:33:20,338
Greetings.

1238
01:33:20,963 --> 01:33:22,421
We’re friends of the groom.

1239
01:33:22,546 --> 01:33:23,295
I see.

1240
01:33:23,296 --> 01:33:24,795
Just arrived from Delhi.

1241
01:33:24,796 --> 01:33:26,005
From Delhi? - Yes.

1242
01:33:26,255 --> 01:33:28,255
To surprise him. - Oh wow...

1243
01:33:28,546 --> 01:33:29,380
And you?

1244
01:33:30,005 --> 01:33:30,588
Myself?

1245
01:33:32,088 --> 01:33:32,963
Harinder Singh.

1246
01:33:33,338 --> 01:33:34,088
Sub-insector.

1247
01:33:34,588 --> 01:33:35,713
Tarn Taran police.

1248
01:33:36,338 --> 01:33:38,755
Best man and best friend.

1249
01:33:38,921 --> 01:33:40,171
Oh wonderful!

1250
01:33:40,671 --> 01:33:42,254
And where is Mr. Inspector?

1251
01:33:42,255 --> 01:33:43,463
Mr. Inspector?

1252
01:33:43,755 --> 01:33:46,171
Come with me, I’ll take you to him.

1253
01:33:46,671 --> 01:33:48,046
Come on.

1254
01:33:48,296 --> 01:33:49,921
Let's make you meet your friend.

1255
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:53,880
Mind the step. Mind it.

1256
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:57,755
Mr. Inspector.

1257
01:33:59,130 --> 01:34:01,421
Mr. Inspector!

1258
01:34:03,255 --> 01:34:05,755
Look who it is!

1259
01:34:10,255 --> 01:34:11,588
Surprise!

1260
01:34:13,838 --> 01:34:14,421
Who are they?

1261
01:34:16,630 --> 01:34:17,838
Not friends?

1262
01:34:22,046 --> 01:34:23,171
CBI, Delhi.

1263
01:34:27,713 --> 01:34:29,046
Congratulations on the wedding.

1264
01:34:37,130 --> 01:34:38,005
I was there only...

1265
01:34:39,213 --> 01:34:40,255
... on 6th September.

1266
01:34:41,213 --> 01:34:42,213
In Dharamshala.

1267
01:34:44,630 --> 01:34:45,546
For my engagement.

1268
01:34:48,338 --> 01:34:49,505
You took this Omni?

1269
01:34:50,921 --> 01:34:51,963
1313?

1270
01:34:59,796 --> 01:35:00,796
You were with him as well?

1271
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:04,838
You were with him?

1272
01:35:05,421 --> 01:35:06,796
Yeah, so?

1273
01:35:11,421 --> 01:35:14,255
This Omni was used to adbuct Jaswant Singh on 6th September.

1274
01:35:16,713 --> 01:35:17,880
There are eye-witnesses.

1275
01:35:19,213 --> 01:35:20,505
They’re mistaken.

1276
01:35:21,421 --> 01:35:23,005
I was on leave from the 5th.

1277
01:35:23,255 --> 01:35:23,921
Really?

1278
01:35:24,921 --> 01:35:28,171
We found an entry in your name at Kang police station, on 5th September.

1279
01:35:29,088 --> 01:35:30,963
You locked up some Kehar Singh there.

1280
01:35:31,838 --> 01:35:33,963
How? You were on leave.

1281
01:35:36,963 --> 01:35:38,338
And why did you put him in Kang?

1282
01:35:40,546 --> 01:35:41,671
Isn’t he in charge there?

1283
01:35:44,255 --> 01:35:46,088
First I took him to Tarn Taran and Jhabal.

1284
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:48,921
Cells were full so I brought him to Kang.

1285
01:35:51,005 --> 01:35:52,588
And? - And nothing.

1286
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:55,671
I left for Dharamshala the next day.

1287
01:35:57,171 --> 01:35:58,171
On 6th September.

1288
01:35:58,796 --> 01:35:59,755
You can check if you want.

1289
01:36:01,005 --> 01:36:02,338
Oh I’ve checked everything.

1290
01:36:04,755 --> 01:36:08,255
It takes half a lifetime for a sub-inspector to make inspector.

1291
01:36:09,921 --> 01:36:11,755
You made it in less than ten months.

1292
01:36:13,505 --> 01:36:14,629
And in these ten months,

1293
01:36:14,630 --> 01:36:16,463
both your names are mentioned

1294
01:36:17,796 --> 01:36:20,088
in firewood receipts of 21 unclaimed cremations.

1295
01:36:21,630 --> 01:36:22,338
How come?

1296
01:36:24,630 --> 01:36:29,005
I guess only your Jaswant Singh can answer that question.

1297
01:36:30,255 --> 01:36:32,005
And where is our Jaswant Singh?

1298
01:36:35,463 --> 01:36:37,130
Since you’ve found out this much already...

1299
01:36:38,046 --> 01:36:39,046
Find him as well.

1300
01:36:41,838 --> 01:36:43,380
You’ll get all your answers.

1301
01:36:47,171 --> 01:36:49,546
Jaswant Singh was a known name.

1302
01:36:50,505 --> 01:36:54,130
So they would never make the mistake of keeping him in Tarn Taran or Jhabal.

1303
01:36:57,255 --> 01:36:58,463
On 5th September,

1304
01:36:59,130 --> 01:37:01,379
Kehar Singh was detained in Kang police station.

1305
01:37:01,380 --> 01:37:02,255
Why?

1306
01:37:02,505 --> 01:37:04,130
Because they had empty cells.

1307
01:37:04,796 --> 01:37:07,463
And on 7th September, he was released.

1308
01:37:09,463 --> 01:37:12,255
And Jaswant Singh was abducted on 6th September.

1309
01:37:14,296 --> 01:37:16,088
Maybe they brought him here too.

1310
01:37:18,505 --> 01:37:19,380
Kang police station.

1311
01:37:24,921 --> 01:37:27,338
And only one person can confirm this.

1312
01:37:29,421 --> 01:37:30,380
Kehar Singh.

1313
01:37:53,046 --> 01:37:55,838
I had a hearing in court on the 5th.

1314
01:37:57,338 --> 01:38:02,338
After that, they detained me for two days.

1315
01:38:03,421 --> 01:38:04,755
At Kang police station.

1316
01:38:05,588 --> 01:38:06,505
Was anyone else there?

1317
01:38:08,296 --> 01:38:11,088
No sir... not on the first night.

1318
01:38:11,838 --> 01:38:12,505
Then...

1319
01:38:12,921 --> 01:38:16,046
... on the second day, they brought someone in the next cell.

1320
01:38:17,546 --> 01:38:18,505
Who was it?

1321
01:38:20,380 --> 01:38:22,088
Anything you saw, or remember?

1322
01:38:22,630 --> 01:38:24,338
No I didn’t see him.

1323
01:38:25,255 --> 01:38:26,880
But I heard his name.

1324
01:38:27,921 --> 01:38:29,255
Some Jaswant Singh.

1325
01:38:41,046 --> 01:38:42,380
Think hard.

1326
01:38:44,005 --> 01:38:45,255
You sure you heard Jaswant Singh?

1327
01:38:46,671 --> 01:38:48,838
Yes, it was Jaswant Singh.

1328
01:38:50,046 --> 01:38:55,713
All the cops were shouting his name, abusing him.

1329
01:38:57,005 --> 01:38:58,713
Then later...

1330
01:38:58,963 --> 01:39:00,838
... the SSP himself showed up.

1331
01:39:02,171 --> 01:39:04,963
And he started beating him.

1332
01:39:09,380 --> 01:39:10,130
Then?

1333
01:39:10,838 --> 01:39:13,630
Then they left after a while,

1334
01:39:14,338 --> 01:39:18,005
leaving one cop behind to stand guard.

1335
01:39:20,213 --> 01:39:20,921
What’s his name?

1336
01:39:23,046 --> 01:39:26,963
Don’t know his name, sir. He wasn't in uniform.

1337
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:30,630
But yes... he had green eyes.

1338
01:39:31,546 --> 01:39:32,588
Like emeralds.

1339
01:39:33,338 --> 01:39:36,171
He brought me food that night.

1340
01:39:41,921 --> 01:39:42,921
Will you be an official witness?

1341
01:39:43,796 --> 01:39:44,421
What?

1342
01:39:46,171 --> 01:39:47,421
Will you testify?

1343
01:39:53,213 --> 01:39:55,713
We sold the farm to bring him back once already.

1344
01:39:56,505 --> 01:39:59,296
If they pick him up again, I have nothing left to sell.

1345
01:40:02,005 --> 01:40:03,046
Don’t worry.

1346
01:40:05,588 --> 01:40:06,880
I’ll guarantee his safety.

1347
01:40:11,755 --> 01:40:14,546
Pack of mongrels hunting for scraps.

1348
01:40:16,671 --> 01:40:18,921
Let’s see how long they bark.

1349
01:40:19,838 --> 01:40:22,005
As long as they bark and don't bite, sir.

1350
01:40:22,630 --> 01:40:24,588
Sniffing around as they please.

1351
01:40:25,588 --> 01:40:26,713
Wherever.

1352
01:40:27,046 --> 01:40:28,588
They picked me up before my vows.

1353
01:40:29,588 --> 01:40:31,588
Humiliated me in front of 400 guests.

1354
01:40:32,338 --> 01:40:33,880
Then made me sit around all night.

1355
01:40:35,171 --> 01:40:36,671
Is it right, sir?

1356
01:40:37,130 --> 01:40:39,421
They raided three police stations last evening.

1357
01:40:42,755 --> 01:40:44,088
Picked up some files as well.

1358
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,130
When there’s nothing in those files,

1359
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:50,755
what will they find?

1360
01:40:53,380 --> 01:40:54,296
Get the bottle!

1361
01:40:56,838 --> 01:40:59,255
When you’ve done nothing wrong,

1362
01:41:00,921 --> 01:41:01,880
why are you worried?

1363
01:41:03,130 --> 01:41:04,463
Just remember...

1364
01:41:05,838 --> 01:41:07,546
that we are Punjab Police.

1365
01:41:09,921 --> 01:41:11,796
And as far as I remember,

1366
01:41:12,421 --> 01:41:16,296
the name of this state is still Punjab.

1367
01:41:17,755 --> 01:41:18,880
Hasn’t changed.

1368
01:41:21,380 --> 01:41:22,296
Got it?

1369
01:41:28,171 --> 01:41:29,088
Okay...

1370
01:41:30,005 --> 01:41:31,046
Now, get lost.

1371
01:41:32,671 --> 01:41:33,421
Sir.

1372
01:41:36,130 --> 01:41:36,671
Sir.

1373
01:42:04,338 --> 01:42:05,213
6th September.

1374
01:42:07,046 --> 01:42:08,296
Remember where you were?

1375
01:42:10,130 --> 01:42:10,921
Chandigarh.

1376
01:42:13,005 --> 01:42:14,046
At my niece’s wedding.

1377
01:42:16,130 --> 01:42:17,713
I kept a prayer on the 6th.

1378
01:42:19,921 --> 01:42:21,671
You must be knowing Jaswant Singh.

1379
01:42:23,130 --> 01:42:24,255
The human rights fellow...

1380
01:42:25,463 --> 01:42:26,796
... who’s disappeared these days.

1381
01:42:28,171 --> 01:42:29,380
I’ve seen him in newspapers.

1382
01:42:37,713 --> 01:42:42,213
Jaswant Singh mentioned you in his last speech.

1383
01:42:42,796 --> 01:42:45,588
And he also said that if anything happens to him,

1384
01:42:47,921 --> 01:42:49,755
... then who would be responsible.

1385
01:42:53,046 --> 01:42:53,713
Anything to say?

1386
01:43:00,505 --> 01:43:01,713
You’re an educated man.

1387
01:43:04,963 --> 01:43:06,171
Tell me something.

1388
01:43:08,963 --> 01:43:10,130
Today if I say...

1389
01:43:11,421 --> 01:43:13,588
if something happens to me then you’ll be responsible,

1390
01:43:15,421 --> 01:43:17,671
and if something actually happens to me tomorrow...

1391
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:20,088
then are you responsible?

1392
01:43:22,088 --> 01:43:23,255
You’ll go to jail?

1393
01:43:35,671 --> 01:43:36,463
Tea.

1394
01:43:38,921 --> 01:43:42,588
You’re involved in over a thousand abductions and extrajudicial killings.

1395
01:43:43,713 --> 01:43:46,546
So it's clear why he’d take your name.

1396
01:43:49,046 --> 01:43:51,005
Extrajudicial killings.

1397
01:43:53,296 --> 01:43:55,505
You were in Delhi Police before you joined the CBI, right?

1398
01:43:57,046 --> 01:43:57,755
In ’86?

1399
01:44:01,588 --> 01:44:04,880
You were present in Delhi’s Trilokpuri riots in ’84, weren’t you?

1400
01:44:09,713 --> 01:44:11,171
How many did you kill in ’84?

1401
01:44:12,963 --> 01:44:14,588
And which killings were those?

1402
01:44:15,463 --> 01:44:17,380
Judicial or extrajudicial?

1403
01:44:23,921 --> 01:44:24,630
Sugar?

1404
01:44:30,088 --> 01:44:32,171
You don’t have the depth, Samudra Singh,

1405
01:44:34,505 --> 01:44:36,671
to conceal all the secrets of ’84.

1406
01:44:43,213 --> 01:44:44,505
Mr. Sugga.

1407
01:44:47,088 --> 01:44:50,130
Recounting ’84 won’t change the figures of ’95.

1408
01:44:51,963 --> 01:44:54,046
It’s not just about one Jaswant Singh.

1409
01:44:55,671 --> 01:44:57,130
It’s about thousands more.

1410
01:44:59,713 --> 01:45:01,005
You’ll have to account for them.

1411
01:45:03,296 --> 01:45:05,546
Punjab’s account has always been complicated.

1412
01:45:10,671 --> 01:45:15,296
We’re fighting those who don’t get captured, only killed.

1413
01:45:17,588 --> 01:45:20,880
They killed DIG Sabarwal on the steps of the Golden Temple.

1414
01:45:23,338 --> 01:45:26,130
Nobody went near the body for six hours.

1415
01:45:28,255 --> 01:45:31,338
You need to call the army to kill these people.

1416
01:45:33,963 --> 01:45:36,630
Even cannons fall short.

1417
01:45:37,963 --> 01:45:41,380
One bullet of ours is fired in response to how many of theirs...

1418
01:45:42,921 --> 01:45:44,755
an outsider like you won’t understand.

1419
01:45:51,255 --> 01:45:52,546
You know what a vice is?

1420
01:45:56,380 --> 01:45:58,588
You have your head in a vice.

1421
01:46:00,380 --> 01:46:02,463
Pressure from above or below...

1422
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:05,130
You’re the one getting squeezed.

1423
01:46:07,380 --> 01:46:10,171
Sooner or later, you’ll have to answer for Jaswant Singh.

1424
01:46:10,796 --> 01:46:13,463
Here... or in court.

1425
01:46:15,505 --> 01:46:16,380
Remember that.

1426
01:46:17,755 --> 01:46:19,130
We’ll meet again.

1427
01:46:25,546 --> 01:46:28,963
It’s been two-and-a-half months since Jaswant Singh’s disappearance.

1428
01:46:30,338 --> 01:46:33,755
But the Punjab government is still silent.

1429
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:36,546
Perhaps they aren’t aware

1430
01:46:37,505 --> 01:46:41,421
that Jaswant Singh isn’t just the name of a man.

1431
01:46:41,963 --> 01:46:44,755
Jaswant Singh is the name of a cause.

1432
01:46:45,546 --> 01:46:47,338
This is no ordinary fight,

1433
01:46:48,005 --> 01:46:50,796
but the fight of a brother of the unclaimed,

1434
01:46:51,255 --> 01:46:54,546
who openly challenged the government.

1435
01:46:55,588 --> 01:46:57,505
This is a fight for what's right.

1436
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,005
Jaswant Singh! Jaswant Singh!

1437
01:47:01,421 --> 01:47:03,629
Brothers of the Unclaimed!

1438
01:47:03,630 --> 01:47:13,088
Jaswant Singh! Jaswant Singh!

1439
01:47:13,588 --> 01:47:15,630
I quit the job at the library.

1440
01:47:19,963 --> 01:47:21,713
This fight is a full-time job.

1441
01:47:23,713 --> 01:47:24,755
What brings you here?

1442
01:47:30,588 --> 01:47:31,880
We found a new witness.

1443
01:47:32,130 --> 01:47:32,880
Kehar Singh.

1444
01:47:34,213 --> 01:47:36,130
He says that on 6th September...

1445
01:47:36,921 --> 01:47:38,921
Jaswant Singh was held at Kang police station.

1446
01:47:39,671 --> 01:47:41,046
In the next cell.

1447
01:47:42,213 --> 01:47:44,296
Now we have three witnesses.

1448
01:47:45,005 --> 01:47:46,338
And very soon,

1449
01:47:46,546 --> 01:47:48,588
we'll appeal to the court for the hearing.

1450
01:48:51,171 --> 01:48:51,880
Anyone home?

1451
01:49:10,463 --> 01:49:11,088
Sugga.

1452
01:49:15,505 --> 01:49:16,921
Diwali is in two days,

1453
01:49:18,171 --> 01:49:19,546
so I brought something for the kids.

1454
01:49:27,171 --> 01:49:28,255
Sparklers.

1455
01:49:30,046 --> 01:49:31,255
Bomb?

1456
01:49:32,088 --> 01:49:34,130
How about a spinner?

1457
01:49:35,338 --> 01:49:35,963
Spinner.

1458
01:49:43,213 --> 01:49:44,963
Here, go play. Spinner.

1459
01:49:59,338 --> 01:50:00,338
Stubborn.

1460
01:50:03,088 --> 01:50:04,046
Like his father.

1461
01:50:08,296 --> 01:50:09,796
I won’t lie, sister.

1462
01:50:11,921 --> 01:50:12,963
Small, big,

1463
01:50:14,338 --> 01:50:15,463
old, young...

1464
01:50:17,546 --> 01:50:18,671
I’ve killed many.

1465
01:50:20,796 --> 01:50:22,963
But I didn’t touch your Jaswant Singh.

1466
01:50:26,505 --> 01:50:28,838
We want to help you.

1467
01:50:30,296 --> 01:50:31,796
We want to find him and bring him to you.

1468
01:50:33,588 --> 01:50:34,838
Then find him.

1469
01:50:36,255 --> 01:50:38,088
It’s your duty.

1470
01:50:40,046 --> 01:50:41,213
But how?

1471
01:50:43,588 --> 01:50:45,796
You’re blaming us as well, aren’t you?

1472
01:50:51,588 --> 01:50:54,338
Retract your statement against the police.

1473
01:50:59,546 --> 01:51:00,671
And we’ll find him and bring him back.

1474
01:51:02,296 --> 01:51:03,255
To you.

1475
01:51:04,421 --> 01:51:05,130
To your kids.

1476
01:51:08,338 --> 01:51:11,171
Then you can take asylum. America, Canada, London...

1477
01:51:11,838 --> 01:51:12,671
wherever.

1478
01:51:17,588 --> 01:51:19,005
And we’ll forget everything as well.

1479
01:51:26,796 --> 01:51:30,630
Even Jaswant Singh wouldn’t agree to return on these terms.

1480
01:51:31,296 --> 01:51:32,755
So how will you bring him?

1481
01:51:34,213 --> 01:51:36,421
You don’t know Jaswant Singh.

1482
01:51:38,796 --> 01:51:39,713
I do.

1483
01:51:45,463 --> 01:51:46,630
You can leave.

1484
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,296
And please take these with you.

1485
01:51:59,713 --> 01:52:00,921
Put them up in your police station.

1486
01:52:01,713 --> 01:52:03,046
It'll be appreciated.

1487
01:52:15,296 --> 01:52:17,421
Since you know Jaswant Singh so well...

1488
01:52:22,005 --> 01:52:23,671
Then know this as well.

1489
01:52:26,171 --> 01:52:29,921
If I have to answer for 25,000 corpses,

1490
01:52:32,046 --> 01:52:34,046
Then I’ll answer for 25,001.

1491
01:52:39,130 --> 01:52:40,296
Remember that.

1492
01:53:09,088 --> 01:53:09,796
Sir...

1493
01:53:11,005 --> 01:53:12,088
End of an era.

1494
01:53:15,380 --> 01:53:17,046
My untimely retirement

1495
01:53:17,796 --> 01:53:19,755
is a new year's gift to the militants.

1496
01:53:20,255 --> 01:53:22,755
I hope the new government has thought this through.

1497
01:53:23,630 --> 01:53:26,213
And I also hope that Mr. Varma

1498
01:53:26,713 --> 01:53:30,588
continues to preserve the dignity of the uniform, as I have.

1499
01:53:31,921 --> 01:53:33,880
I’m not much of a speech man.

1500
01:53:34,963 --> 01:53:37,713
I prefer to be brief and straight.

1501
01:53:39,838 --> 01:53:43,463
My aim is to sanitize and sensitize the force,

1502
01:53:44,380 --> 01:53:46,130
without lowering our guard.

1503
01:53:46,838 --> 01:53:47,921
For the past few years,

1504
01:53:49,921 --> 01:53:52,630
because of a few police officers,

1505
01:53:53,671 --> 01:53:55,171
not just Punjab Police,

1506
01:53:55,796 --> 01:53:58,213
but the whole state has suffered disrepute.

1507
01:53:59,296 --> 01:54:00,213
But...

1508
01:54:01,046 --> 01:54:03,171
we will not repeat their mistakes.

1509
01:54:04,171 --> 01:54:06,963
And for this I need your support.

1510
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:12,296
The fear that Punjab’s people have of the police...

1511
01:54:13,713 --> 01:54:17,380
First we must eliminate that fear.

1512
01:54:18,338 --> 01:54:21,005
And we must win back their trust.

1513
01:54:21,546 --> 01:54:24,546
I’m sure I have your full support in this mission.

1514
01:54:27,796 --> 01:54:28,838
Thank you.

1515
01:54:39,005 --> 01:54:41,838
‘Devil in Police Uniform.’

1516
01:54:45,046 --> 01:54:46,796
‘Butcher of Gurdaspur.’

1517
01:55:01,463 --> 01:55:02,588
‘Police or...

1518
01:55:04,463 --> 01:55:05,463
ex... executioner’.

1519
01:55:07,713 --> 01:55:10,588
What are the newspapers writing about you...

1520
01:55:11,130 --> 01:55:12,255
Ever read them?

1521
01:55:18,421 --> 01:55:21,171
Now... where is Jaswant Singh?

1522
01:55:22,796 --> 01:55:23,421
Sir?

1523
01:55:26,921 --> 01:55:27,880
Jaswant Singh.

1524
01:55:30,921 --> 01:55:31,838
He’s disappeared, sir.

1525
01:55:34,421 --> 01:55:36,296
But we’re trying our best to find him.

1526
01:55:37,338 --> 01:55:41,963
You’ve been trying for over two months.

1527
01:55:43,088 --> 01:55:45,505
It takes some time, sir.

1528
01:55:52,463 --> 01:55:53,505
Surjit Singh.

1529
01:55:55,588 --> 01:55:58,255
I was DGP Intelligence before this.

1530
01:55:59,546 --> 01:56:01,088
I know you very well.

1531
01:56:03,046 --> 01:56:04,796
The CBI is already on your tail.

1532
01:56:05,796 --> 01:56:07,671
An inquiry could start any day.

1533
01:56:08,713 --> 01:56:11,671
Then all your pending cases will reopen.

1534
01:56:13,921 --> 01:56:15,546
Getting away this time

1535
01:56:16,338 --> 01:56:17,921
won't be so easy for you.

1536
01:56:20,463 --> 01:56:22,546
You have seven days.

1537
01:56:23,796 --> 01:56:25,421
I want Jaswant Singh.

1538
01:56:26,546 --> 01:56:27,671
At any cost.

1539
01:56:33,296 --> 01:56:34,296
Seven days.

1540
01:56:39,171 --> 01:56:39,963
Yes, sir.

1541
01:56:40,671 --> 01:56:42,338
He’s given me seven days.

1542
01:56:43,171 --> 01:56:44,630
He says find Jaswant Singh.

1543
01:56:45,546 --> 01:56:47,505
How do I find him, you tell me?

1544
01:57:00,296 --> 01:57:02,296
The CBI has a hearing date from the court.

1545
01:57:03,796 --> 01:57:05,046
There were two eye-witnesses.

1546
01:57:06,046 --> 01:57:07,296
Now there are three.

1547
01:57:09,338 --> 01:57:11,796
Forget Jaswant Singh for now and find out...

1548
01:57:13,005 --> 01:57:14,421
who this third joker is.

1549
01:57:46,255 --> 01:57:48,921
Move ahead. - Come, next.

1550
01:57:50,296 --> 01:57:51,838
Stop right there - CBI, Delhi.

1551
01:57:52,380 --> 01:57:54,046
Here they come sniffing around.

1552
01:57:54,463 --> 01:57:57,130
You finish your report, and meet me at the station.

1553
01:57:57,421 --> 01:57:58,005
Yes sir.

1554
01:57:58,130 --> 01:57:59,588
Killed in a raid last night.

1555
01:58:14,630 --> 01:58:16,130
There’s no one home.

1556
01:58:16,255 --> 01:58:18,838
Mr. Sanjiv left with his family two days ago.

1557
01:58:19,671 --> 01:58:21,004
Did he say where they’re going?

1558
01:58:21,005 --> 01:58:23,421
No, he didn’t say and I didn’t ask.

1559
01:58:24,546 --> 01:58:25,255
They’ve left.

1560
01:58:26,213 --> 01:58:27,671
Harpal’s house is also locked, sir.

1561
01:58:28,505 --> 01:58:29,380
It’s empty.

1562
01:58:32,671 --> 01:58:34,088
This is nothing...

1563
01:58:34,713 --> 01:58:37,671
... but a complete mockery of the judicial system.

1564
01:58:38,255 --> 01:58:40,255
There were three strong witnesses in this case.

1565
01:58:41,421 --> 01:58:42,463
Two of them are missing,

1566
01:58:42,921 --> 01:58:44,088
... and one ends up dead.

1567
01:58:44,421 --> 01:58:45,755
Just one day before the hearing.

1568
01:58:46,338 --> 01:58:47,880
And the irony of the matter is...

1569
01:58:48,255 --> 01:58:53,046
that despite several loopholes in their alibis, these cops are still serving in the force.

1570
01:58:53,630 --> 01:58:58,380
But Mr. Jais, there has to be at least one strong piece of evidence to back up your claims.

1571
01:58:58,713 --> 01:58:59,963
Just this isn’t enough.

1572
01:59:04,421 --> 01:59:05,505
Your honour...

1573
01:59:06,630 --> 01:59:07,546
A family...

1574
01:59:08,588 --> 01:59:10,921
breaks their back day and night

1575
01:59:11,171 --> 01:59:14,171
to raise and educate their kids.

1576
01:59:14,796 --> 01:59:17,755
Then one day those kids, no more than 20-22 years old, disappear.

1577
01:59:18,338 --> 01:59:20,005
When they don’t return in a few days, the parents

1578
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:23,630
go to the police, where they are turned away.

1579
01:59:24,046 --> 01:59:26,588
In fact they are told that their kids...

1580
01:59:27,546 --> 01:59:28,505
... are with terrorists.

1581
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:30,463
For a little bit of money, you'll get them back.

1582
01:59:30,588 --> 01:59:31,713
Objection, your honour!

1583
01:59:32,755 --> 01:59:34,630
Irrelevant to the case. - Mr. Dahiya, please...

1584
01:59:34,755 --> 01:59:35,879
Overruled. - Let me finish.

1585
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:37,838
Mr. Jais, come to the point quickly.

1586
01:59:39,213 --> 01:59:40,046
Your honour,

1587
01:59:40,713 --> 01:59:44,379
by the time the parents somehow gather the money,

1588
01:59:44,380 --> 01:59:48,255
some other cop shows up and buys those kids for a higher sum.

1589
01:59:48,671 --> 01:59:52,630
and then kills them along with the terrorists.

1590
01:59:52,838 --> 01:59:54,255
And we all know the reason.

1591
01:59:54,796 --> 01:59:58,296
Because more dead militants equals bigger promotions. Am I right?

1592
01:59:58,505 --> 02:00:00,796
Objection, your honour! - Overruled.

1593
02:00:03,463 --> 02:00:05,171
But it doesn’t end there.

1594
02:00:07,046 --> 02:00:09,213
Then it's the turn of the poor parents.

1595
02:00:09,755 --> 02:00:11,587
Those aged, helpless parents...

1596
02:00:11,588 --> 02:00:15,088
are then harassed by branding their children as terrorists.

1597
02:00:15,421 --> 02:00:16,880
And you know why?

1598
02:00:17,213 --> 02:00:19,213
To extort from them the same money

1599
02:00:19,588 --> 02:00:22,546
they had arranged to save their children.

1600
02:00:22,796 --> 02:00:23,796
Objection!

1601
02:00:24,088 --> 02:00:26,337
This is a blatant attempt to slander the police.

1602
02:00:26,338 --> 02:00:27,505
Then tell me this...

1603
02:00:27,963 --> 02:00:30,545
How are these cops, who were constables ten months ago,

1604
02:00:30,546 --> 02:00:34,130
sitting here as Inspectors today? Do you have an answer?

1605
02:00:34,630 --> 02:00:37,296
Your honour, the prosecution is insulting the court with these fake stories.

1606
02:00:37,671 --> 02:00:39,462
These are not stories, your honour.

1607
02:00:39,463 --> 02:00:41,837
These are the details of the petitions that those parents

1608
02:00:41,838 --> 02:00:44,837
had filed against these policemen in the high court.

1609
02:00:44,838 --> 02:00:46,005
Please have a look at this.

1610
02:00:48,671 --> 02:00:50,421
And these are the same officers, your honour...

1611
02:00:51,130 --> 02:00:53,463
... that the eye-witnesses saw abducting Jaswant Singh.

1612
02:00:53,921 --> 02:00:55,296
Their recorded testimonies are included.

1613
02:00:56,046 --> 02:00:57,338
But the trouble is...

1614
02:00:57,588 --> 02:01:01,671
that they either turn hostile out of fear, or turn up dead like Kehar Singh!

1615
02:01:01,963 --> 02:01:04,712
The prosecution is making wild accusations without any proof.

1616
02:01:04,713 --> 02:01:06,755
Mr. Dahiya, please... - Mr. Dahiya...

1617
02:01:08,755 --> 02:01:12,505
Due to the serious allegations and suspicious nature of this case.

1618
02:01:12,921 --> 02:01:14,838
in the interest of public security,

1619
02:01:15,130 --> 02:01:16,462
this court determines that

1620
02:01:16,463 --> 02:01:17,880
DSP Jagpal Singh,

1621
02:01:18,255 --> 02:01:20,046
Inspector Shivender Singh,

1622
02:01:20,338 --> 02:01:25,505
sub-inspector Tejinder Singh, sub-inspector Harinder Singh, inspector Ajay Kumar,

1623
02:01:25,713 --> 02:01:31,088
and SSP Surjit Singh Sugga should be suspended on immediate basis,

1624
02:01:31,671 --> 02:01:33,171
until the final hearing.

1625
02:01:38,505 --> 02:01:39,755
The court is adjourned.

1626
02:01:47,421 --> 02:01:48,255
Told you...

1627
02:01:51,463 --> 02:01:52,463
you’re the one getting squeezed.

1628
02:01:55,630 --> 02:01:57,171
Your seniors have retired,

1629
02:01:57,755 --> 02:01:59,213
and juniors suspended.

1630
02:02:03,046 --> 02:02:05,463
All they have to do is start talking.

1631
02:02:07,588 --> 02:02:09,171
And game over.

1632
02:02:11,505 --> 02:02:12,755
Sugar?

1633
02:02:16,338 --> 02:02:16,838
Mr. Sugga...

1634
02:02:18,838 --> 02:02:19,880
Sugar?

1635
02:02:33,338 --> 02:02:34,880
Give the phone to Bitta sir.

1636
02:02:35,588 --> 02:02:37,546
He’s not at home. You are?

1637
02:02:38,505 --> 02:02:41,255
SSP Tarn Taran. Sugga.

1638
02:03:00,213 --> 02:03:01,213
Hello...

1639
02:03:02,421 --> 02:03:03,755
Is Bitta sir back?

1640
02:03:23,255 --> 02:03:24,296
Good boy.

1641
02:03:32,338 --> 02:03:34,963
Hello. - Sir, I’ve been calling for hours.

1642
02:03:35,755 --> 02:03:39,838
But it looks like you’ve abandoned me.

1643
02:03:41,005 --> 02:03:42,546
Are you drunk?

1644
02:03:43,630 --> 02:03:44,880
Forgive me, sir...

1645
02:03:45,463 --> 02:03:48,380
... but I’m losing my mind.

1646
02:03:50,630 --> 02:03:52,546
I’ve always respected you, sir.

1647
02:03:54,505 --> 02:04:00,005
I fired in any direction you pointed me in.

1648
02:04:01,796 --> 02:04:04,630
Picked up anyone you told me to.

1649
02:04:06,588 --> 02:04:08,671
You have Delhi behind you.

1650
02:04:10,421 --> 02:04:12,380
Who do I have?

1651
02:04:14,713 --> 02:04:15,630
Sugga...

1652
02:04:16,130 --> 02:04:17,963
You’re not in your senses right now.

1653
02:04:18,421 --> 02:04:19,796
We’ll talk later.

1654
02:04:20,505 --> 02:04:21,630
I’ll handle it.

1655
02:04:22,380 --> 02:04:26,505
You keep saying you’ll ‘handle it’...

1656
02:04:28,671 --> 02:04:30,546
but nothing got handled, did it.

1657
02:04:31,671 --> 02:04:33,588
Watch your tongue, Sugga!

1658
02:04:34,713 --> 02:04:37,963
Nobody has ever talked to me this way.

1659
02:04:38,713 --> 02:04:40,463
Then do something, sir.

1660
02:04:41,130 --> 02:04:43,130
Get me transferred out of here.

1661
02:04:43,713 --> 02:04:45,463
That’s what's best for everyone.

1662
02:04:46,380 --> 02:04:47,380
Or else...

1663
02:04:48,296 --> 02:04:49,921
... everyone goes down with me.

1664
02:04:52,046 --> 02:04:53,796
Listen to me carefully...

1665
02:04:54,713 --> 02:04:57,463
and do exactly as I say.

1666
02:04:59,005 --> 02:05:00,630
I won’t let anything happen to you.

1667
02:05:10,713 --> 02:05:13,046
Hey! Nobody follows me!

1668
02:05:13,338 --> 02:05:14,796
Nobody! Move it!

1669
02:05:40,338 --> 02:05:41,755
Move... Move back.

1670
02:05:43,880 --> 02:05:45,671
We found this evidence in his pocket.

1671
02:05:46,505 --> 02:05:47,880
Looks like a suicide note.

1672
02:05:49,088 --> 02:05:50,588
Body was found in two pieces, sir.

1673
02:05:51,338 --> 02:05:54,338
Head clean off the shoulders. Was tough to recognize at first...

1674
02:05:54,838 --> 02:05:55,963
Then we identified him.

1675
02:06:07,546 --> 02:06:10,838
The Khalsa belongs to God, Victory belongs to God.

1676
02:06:11,880 --> 02:06:14,838
I am not here to grieve,

1677
02:06:15,713 --> 02:06:18,880
but to pay tribute to a brave police officer.

1678
02:06:19,630 --> 02:06:21,088
At the peak of terrorism,

1679
02:06:22,171 --> 02:06:25,463
Tarn Taran was considered to be the rocket...

1680
02:06:26,838 --> 02:06:30,755
that would blow Punjab out of this country.

1681
02:06:32,088 --> 02:06:34,838
In these circumstances, I was looking for an officer...

1682
02:06:35,213 --> 02:06:38,213
who had the courage to face the terrorists...

1683
02:06:39,171 --> 02:06:42,755
... and mount a strong campaign against them.

1684
02:06:43,421 --> 02:06:45,130
And in this situation,

1685
02:06:45,963 --> 02:06:50,713
SSP Sugga was one such officer who stepped up and took charge.

1686
02:06:51,713 --> 02:06:53,546
You call him power-hungry?

1687
02:06:54,255 --> 02:06:55,421
What power?

1688
02:06:56,088 --> 02:06:58,671
If anyone was powerful, it was the terrorists.

1689
02:06:59,171 --> 02:07:01,671
And the press was their mouthpiece,

1690
02:07:02,421 --> 02:07:04,755
and judiciary paralysed.

1691
02:07:05,630 --> 02:07:09,421
This suicide by a Sikh warrior is not an action of a coward.

1692
02:07:10,380 --> 02:07:12,963
It was not fear that drove him to death.

1693
02:07:13,421 --> 02:07:16,962
It was ingratitude and false allegations

1694
02:07:16,963 --> 02:07:18,713
made by the CBI,

1695
02:07:18,921 --> 02:07:20,296
and the human rights people...

1696
02:07:21,130 --> 02:07:23,880
which forced him to take such a drastic step.

1697
02:07:24,630 --> 02:07:27,380
The Indian state must learn to protect

1698
02:07:28,005 --> 02:07:31,755
officers like SSP Sugga, or the day isn’t far...

1699
02:07:32,255 --> 02:07:35,171
when Punjab will once again go back ten years.

1700
02:07:35,380 --> 02:07:38,213
Don’t know his name, sir. He wasn't in uniform.

1701
02:07:40,755 --> 02:07:44,046
But yes... he had green eyes.

1702
02:07:45,421 --> 02:07:46,671
Like emeralds.

1703
02:07:47,046 --> 02:07:48,796
Thank you. Jai Hind!

1704
02:07:54,463 --> 02:07:55,963
You know Kehar Singh?

1705
02:07:57,671 --> 02:07:58,755
And Jaswant Singh?

1706
02:08:04,296 --> 02:08:06,546
You'd bring him food at Kang police station, right?

1707
02:08:13,588 --> 02:08:14,505
Yes...

1708
02:08:18,296 --> 02:08:21,046
Sugga sir put me on guard duty.

1709
02:08:22,338 --> 02:08:23,046
But...

1710
02:08:25,005 --> 02:08:26,296
only for a few days.

1711
02:08:31,671 --> 02:08:32,546
Sir...

1712
02:08:33,921 --> 02:08:37,421
I’m not lying. I’m just an ordinary SPO.

1713
02:08:38,505 --> 02:08:40,421
My job isn’t even permanent yet.

1714
02:08:46,505 --> 02:08:47,921
Become a government witness.

1715
02:08:48,255 --> 02:08:49,713
We’ll make you permanent.

1716
02:09:01,671 --> 02:09:04,130
All five of these cops know that you know everything.

1717
02:09:06,546 --> 02:09:08,505
If they find out tomorrow that you're here...

1718
02:09:09,463 --> 02:09:10,421
... with us.

1719
02:09:13,088 --> 02:09:14,213
What do you think?

1720
02:09:16,713 --> 02:09:17,880
They’ll spare you?

1721
02:09:26,255 --> 02:09:26,963
Kuljit...

1722
02:09:28,463 --> 02:09:30,380
Where were you on the night of 6th September?

1723
02:09:34,588 --> 02:09:35,838
Kang police station.

1724
02:09:37,546 --> 02:09:38,838
I was on guard duty.

1725
02:09:39,005 --> 02:09:40,130
Who were you guarding?

1726
02:09:42,463 --> 02:09:44,338
It was... some...

1727
02:09:44,713 --> 02:09:45,671
Some Kehar Singh.

1728
02:09:47,546 --> 02:09:50,005
They held him there for two days, then released him.

1729
02:09:50,796 --> 02:09:51,588
And?

1730
02:09:53,671 --> 02:09:54,713
Who else was there?

1731
02:09:56,296 --> 02:09:57,255
Kuljit...

1732
02:09:58,421 --> 02:09:59,130
Kuljit...

1733
02:10:00,213 --> 02:10:01,463
Who else was there?

1734
02:10:02,130 --> 02:10:04,630
No one else. Just Kehar Singh.

1735
02:10:08,130 --> 02:10:10,629
Kuljit, that night at Kang police station,

1736
02:10:10,630 --> 02:10:13,380
was Jaswant Singh kept in Kehar Singh's neighbouring cell or not?

1737
02:10:17,921 --> 02:10:18,755
He wasn't.

1738
02:10:19,546 --> 02:10:21,796
All the other cells were empty. You...

1739
02:10:22,046 --> 02:10:23,630
You can check the register.

1740
02:10:24,005 --> 02:10:25,755
There’s no entry by this name.

1741
02:10:26,296 --> 02:10:27,463
There was no one else there?

1742
02:10:30,671 --> 02:10:32,130
The cbi...

1743
02:10:32,463 --> 02:10:36,088
has registered your written statement in court, in which it is clearly written that...

1744
02:10:36,505 --> 02:10:39,255
you saw Jaswant Singh at Kang police station that night.

1745
02:10:40,755 --> 02:10:42,630
No, not there. the question came from here, look here.

1746
02:10:43,088 --> 02:10:44,463
Did you see him or not?

1747
02:10:45,296 --> 02:10:47,255
Did you see him or not?

1748
02:10:47,921 --> 02:10:50,755
- Did you see him or not?

1749
02:10:51,505 --> 02:10:53,005
Yes or no? Did you see him or not?

1750
02:10:53,755 --> 02:10:54,880
Sir they gave me money.

1751
02:10:55,838 --> 02:10:57,463
To speak against the police.

1752
02:10:58,171 --> 02:10:59,796
I don’t know any Jaswant Singh.

1753
02:11:00,046 --> 02:11:00,880
He's lying!

1754
02:11:01,296 --> 02:11:02,295
Please be quiet. - He's lying!

1755
02:11:02,296 --> 02:11:04,088
Quiet! Please sit down!

1756
02:11:04,713 --> 02:11:06,255
Make him sit.

1757
02:11:12,796 --> 02:11:13,796
Who gave you money?

1758
02:11:18,338 --> 02:11:19,088
Kuljit...

1759
02:11:19,630 --> 02:11:20,380
Don’t be afraid.

1760
02:11:21,005 --> 02:11:22,130
Who gave you the money?

1761
02:11:31,130 --> 02:11:32,463
Have you lost it? What is this rubbish?

1762
02:11:32,838 --> 02:11:35,213
Why're you lying? Who's putting pressure on you?

1763
02:11:35,671 --> 02:11:37,005
Who is pressuring you? - Calm down.

1764
02:11:37,130 --> 02:11:38,296
Sit down... - Calm down.

1765
02:11:38,421 --> 02:11:39,545
Calm down - Why are you lying?

1766
02:11:39,546 --> 02:11:41,046
Who has pressured you? - Calm down

1767
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:42,880
Be silent... - Why are you lying?

1768
02:11:43,088 --> 02:11:43,837
Cool down Samudra.

1769
02:11:43,838 --> 02:11:45,212
Maintain order in this court.

1770
02:11:45,213 --> 02:11:47,879
Your honour, his wife is sitting there, he keeps looking at her.

1771
02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:50,379
Sit down. - He's been pressured, your honour.

1772
02:11:50,380 --> 02:11:52,295
I will not have any disorder in my court room.

1773
02:11:52,296 --> 02:11:54,880
Why the hell are you lying? - Samudra...

1774
02:11:55,380 --> 02:11:56,588
You will not get away with this.

1775
02:11:58,171 --> 02:11:59,421
Thie hearing is adjourned.

1776
02:12:00,088 --> 02:12:01,588
It will resume after the recess.

1777
02:12:11,046 --> 02:12:13,338
How did you let a witness make such a fool out of you?

1778
02:12:14,005 --> 02:12:15,421
And then you attacked him in court.

1779
02:12:15,671 --> 02:12:16,880
Have you completely lost it?

1780
02:12:20,463 --> 02:12:21,505
We've lost it, sir.

1781
02:12:24,630 --> 02:12:26,046
Bitta was absolutely right.

1782
02:12:27,713 --> 02:12:28,630
This is a war and...

1783
02:12:31,505 --> 02:12:32,463
We've lost it.

1784
02:12:32,921 --> 02:12:35,255
Samudra, once again you’re taking all of this too personally.

1785
02:12:37,421 --> 02:12:38,796
So I’ve made a decision.

1786
02:12:39,755 --> 02:12:40,713
Take a break.

1787
02:12:41,838 --> 02:12:43,255
Let someone else take over this case.

1788
02:13:36,671 --> 02:13:37,671
Kuljit.

1789
02:13:46,755 --> 02:13:47,546
Kuljit.

1790
02:13:58,255 --> 02:13:59,255
Recognise me?

1791
02:14:06,255 --> 02:14:08,421
I’ve come straight from the river.

1792
02:14:10,796 --> 02:14:11,963
To meet you.

1793
02:14:17,338 --> 02:14:18,838
I’m not alone there.

1794
02:14:23,130 --> 02:14:24,546
There are many like me.

1795
02:14:25,755 --> 02:14:26,505
Children,

1796
02:14:27,796 --> 02:14:28,921
women,

1797
02:14:29,755 --> 02:14:30,546
the old.

1798
02:14:34,463 --> 02:14:35,755
They will come.

1799
02:14:38,421 --> 02:14:40,213
One by one, they will all come.

1800
02:14:57,921 --> 02:14:58,921
In the winter,

1801
02:15:02,005 --> 02:15:07,338
when the water freezes at night, Kuljit...

1802
02:15:09,130 --> 02:15:11,130
it gets really cold.

1803
02:15:16,963 --> 02:15:18,338
On the outside...

1804
02:15:25,505 --> 02:15:26,880
and on the inside.

1805
02:15:28,671 --> 02:15:30,338
It’s an open wound.

1806
02:15:31,171 --> 02:15:33,588
So the water rushes in.

1807
02:15:38,505 --> 02:15:39,755
Look.

1808
02:15:50,713 --> 02:15:52,338
Water rushes in, Kuljit.

1809
02:16:43,338 --> 02:16:44,755
Why should I trust you this time?

1810
02:16:46,505 --> 02:16:48,005
I got scared last time.

1811
02:16:51,338 --> 02:16:51,920
Of what?

1812
02:16:56,795 --> 02:16:57,505
The police.

1813
02:16:59,795 --> 02:17:00,963
And this time?

1814
02:17:03,838 --> 02:17:04,963
God.

1815
02:17:10,338 --> 02:17:11,463
I don’t believe him.

1816
02:17:13,005 --> 02:17:13,838
I believe him, sir.

1817
02:17:14,213 --> 02:17:16,045
What guarantee is there that this Kuljit Singh...

1818
02:17:16,545 --> 02:17:18,005
... is telling the truth this time?

1819
02:17:19,545 --> 02:17:21,545
He’s already turned hostile in court once.

1820
02:17:22,713 --> 02:17:24,088
No guarantee, sir.

1821
02:17:25,005 --> 02:17:26,963
But my gut tells me he’s telling the truth.

1822
02:17:27,713 --> 02:17:30,630
Your gut has been wrong before, Samudra.

1823
02:17:32,170 --> 02:17:34,545
In any case, why are we still discussing this?

1824
02:17:35,588 --> 02:17:38,963
The court will never give you permission to present Kuljit as a witness again.

1825
02:17:40,795 --> 02:17:42,545
That’s why I’ve come to you three, sir.

1826
02:17:43,045 --> 02:17:44,505
To request special permission.

1827
02:17:48,213 --> 02:17:50,420
This is not only about Kuljit Singh sir.

1828
02:17:54,463 --> 02:17:58,420
It’s about probably the biggest genocide our country has seen post independence.

1829
02:18:00,295 --> 02:18:02,130
Look at the history of Punjab, sir.

1830
02:18:03,963 --> 02:18:07,130
Be it the river waters dispute or the Anandpur Sahib resolution.

1831
02:18:07,505 --> 02:18:09,212
or the ’84 riots,

1832
02:18:09,213 --> 02:18:11,044
insurgency, Black Thunder...

1833
02:18:11,045 --> 02:18:14,255
from President’s Rule to the CM’s assassination, and now...

1834
02:18:17,588 --> 02:18:18,463
Jaswant Singh!

1835
02:18:21,838 --> 02:18:23,505
Why is Punjab suffering?

1836
02:18:24,505 --> 02:18:26,588
This is a vicious circle of violence

1837
02:18:27,545 --> 02:18:31,130
which the powerful use for their own agendas, and it will never stop. It will go on and on

1838
02:18:31,338 --> 02:18:34,713
until we don’t step in and set an example.

1839
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:37,420
Or...

1840
02:18:38,920 --> 02:18:40,463
we can just turn a blind eye

1841
02:18:42,088 --> 02:18:43,754
and be on the wrong side of history forever.

1842
02:18:43,755 --> 02:18:47,045
And we’ll never be able to forgive ourselves for this.

1843
02:18:50,755 --> 02:18:52,005
We are answerable here, sir.

1844
02:18:54,838 --> 02:18:58,212
We are answerable to our conscience. We are answerable to those families...

1845
02:18:58,213 --> 02:19:01,170
whose loved ones were marked ‘unclaimed’ and cremated by these people.

1846
02:19:02,255 --> 02:19:04,713
We are answerable to Jaswant Singh’s family,

1847
02:19:06,380 --> 02:19:08,588
and yes, we are answerable to Jaswant Singh.

1848
02:19:17,755 --> 02:19:21,588
Jaswant Singh! - Long live!

1849
02:19:21,838 --> 02:19:23,920
Brothers of the Unclaimed! - Long live!

1850
02:19:24,045 --> 02:19:28,420
Jaswant Singh! - Jaswant Singh!

1851
02:19:29,630 --> 02:19:39,254
Bring back Jaswant Singh! - Bring him back!

1852
02:19:39,255 --> 02:19:43,588
Jaswant Singh! Brothers of the unclaimed!

1853
02:19:43,713 --> 02:19:50,045
Bring back Jaswant Singh! - Bring him back!

1854
02:19:50,046 --> 02:19:54,046
Jaswant Singh! Brothers of the unclaimed!

1855
02:20:09,463 --> 02:20:10,130
Kuljit.

1856
02:20:10,921 --> 02:20:11,921
This is your last chance.

1857
02:20:12,713 --> 02:20:16,380
If you lie or change your statement again,

1858
02:20:16,755 --> 02:20:20,296
You will be charged with contempt of court.

1859
02:20:20,796 --> 02:20:22,088
Do you understand?

1860
02:20:25,921 --> 02:20:26,963
Kuljit...

1861
02:20:27,755 --> 02:20:29,213
This is your last chance.

1862
02:20:30,296 --> 02:20:31,630
Tell them the truth.

1863
02:20:42,838 --> 02:20:44,630
On the night of 4th September,

1864
02:20:45,463 --> 02:20:48,380
Bitta sir called the SSP to his house.

1865
02:20:50,588 --> 02:20:52,046
DSP Jagpal was with him.

1866
02:20:54,588 --> 02:20:56,463
We were there for about an hour.

1867
02:20:58,005 --> 02:20:59,046
Then the next morning

1868
02:21:00,088 --> 02:21:03,671
SSP sir told me to go with the DSP to Tarn Taran.

1869
02:21:04,671 --> 02:21:05,546
That night...

1870
02:21:06,380 --> 02:21:07,671
on 5th September,

1871
02:21:08,713 --> 02:21:11,963
the DSP held an urgent meeting at Tarn Taran police station,

1872
02:21:13,421 --> 02:21:15,088
in which inspector Ajay Kumar,

1873
02:21:15,880 --> 02:21:17,755
Sub-Inspector Harinder Singh,

1874
02:21:18,046 --> 02:21:19,088
Tejinder Singh,

1875
02:21:19,713 --> 02:21:21,505
and inspector Shivender were there.

1876
02:21:22,005 --> 02:21:23,588
The next morning

1877
02:21:23,921 --> 02:21:25,046
On 6th September...

1878
02:21:25,671 --> 02:21:28,755
we started watching Jaswant Singh’s house.

1879
02:21:30,505 --> 02:21:32,921
After some time, Jaswant Singh came outside

1880
02:21:33,671 --> 02:21:34,921
and started washing his car.

1881
02:21:36,005 --> 02:21:37,755
Everyone thought the time was right.

1882
02:21:38,505 --> 02:21:39,838
Let's go.

1883
02:21:48,755 --> 02:21:49,421
Jaswant Singh.

1884
02:21:50,130 --> 02:21:51,588
The SSP wants to see you.

1885
02:21:53,421 --> 02:21:54,255
He wants to talk to you. - Let's go.

1886
02:21:54,463 --> 02:21:56,588
What does he want to talk about? - Come on.

1887
02:21:57,171 --> 02:21:59,505
Sanjiv! - Come on, get in!

1888
02:22:00,088 --> 02:22:02,505
Sanjiv! - Don't fret, come on.

1889
02:22:04,505 --> 02:22:06,088
Sanjiv! - Get lost!

1890
02:22:06,713 --> 02:22:07,921
Hurry up drive, drive!

1891
02:22:08,213 --> 02:22:10,338
Hey! Stop the car!

1892
02:22:11,171 --> 02:22:14,213
Then we took Jaswant Singh straight to Kang police station.

1893
02:22:15,546 --> 02:22:17,505
In the evening, SSP Sugga came as well.

1894
02:22:18,880 --> 02:22:21,921
He tried hard to convince Jaswant Singh.

1895
02:22:22,505 --> 02:22:23,713
There’s still time.

1896
02:22:25,546 --> 02:22:26,463
Start behaving.

1897
02:22:29,338 --> 02:22:30,755
Stop chasing the police.

1898
02:22:35,921 --> 02:22:37,421
Or I’ll bury you alive right here.

1899
02:22:38,588 --> 02:22:40,630
With your list of 25,000 corpses.

1900
02:22:42,171 --> 02:22:44,005
This is a fight for human rights.

1901
02:22:45,671 --> 02:22:47,088
For the whole community.

1902
02:22:49,963 --> 02:22:52,088
You people started this genocide.

1903
02:22:54,338 --> 02:22:55,796
I won't stop.

1904
02:22:57,671 --> 02:22:58,755
We’ll do it for you.

1905
02:23:01,796 --> 02:23:02,921
We know how.

1906
02:23:07,505 --> 02:23:08,963
The world will keep searching.

1907
02:23:10,546 --> 02:23:11,921
Your children will roam...

1908
02:23:12,838 --> 02:23:13,588
... as orphans.

1909
02:23:15,046 --> 02:23:16,546
They’re children of faith.

1910
02:23:19,005 --> 02:23:20,213
They’ll never be orphans.

1911
02:23:21,838 --> 02:23:23,463
And if I die a martyr,

1912
02:23:25,588 --> 02:23:27,713
then one day you’ll have to commit suicide.

1913
02:23:29,088 --> 02:23:29,838
Remember that.

1914
02:23:36,046 --> 02:23:38,088
I’ll have to commit suicide?

1915
02:23:40,921 --> 02:23:41,671
Me?

1916
02:23:42,255 --> 02:23:43,796
Son of a Bitch!

1917
02:23:44,380 --> 02:23:50,671
I'll have to kill myself?

1918
02:23:51,005 --> 02:23:52,921
Bastard! I'm going to kill myself?

1919
02:23:53,713 --> 02:23:55,213
I'm going to commit suicide?

1920
02:23:55,380 --> 02:23:56,546
Sir stop... He'll die.

1921
02:24:02,171 --> 02:24:02,880
Let's go.

1922
02:24:07,713 --> 02:24:10,796
Listen! You keep an eye on him, understand?

1923
02:24:11,671 --> 02:24:12,546
Son of a bitch!

1924
02:24:12,880 --> 02:24:13,671
Let's go! - Yes sir.

1925
02:24:14,546 --> 02:24:15,088
Back it up!

1926
02:24:27,046 --> 02:24:30,088
Jaswant Singh was kept there for the next three days.

1927
02:24:37,755 --> 02:24:41,088
The police was under constant pressure to find him.

1928
02:24:41,671 --> 02:24:45,546
So we moved him to an old house near Jhabal.

1929
02:24:45,963 --> 02:24:47,005
Tejinder.

1930
02:24:47,713 --> 02:24:48,463
Open it.

1931
02:24:53,171 --> 02:24:55,255
He was kept there for several weeks.

1932
02:25:05,588 --> 02:25:06,838
Found out yet?

1933
02:25:09,213 --> 02:25:10,588
Whose farm is it?

1934
02:25:16,963 --> 02:25:19,963
If you wish

1935
02:25:21,588 --> 02:25:23,545
to play the game of love

1936
02:25:23,546 --> 02:25:24,171
I warned you.

1937
02:25:25,255 --> 02:25:26,255
Don’t get involved.

1938
02:25:29,338 --> 02:25:34,130
If you wish to play the game of love

1939
02:25:36,505 --> 02:25:47,171
Come my way with your head in the palm of your hand

1940
02:25:48,796 --> 02:25:57,213
If you set foot on this path

1941
02:26:03,880 --> 02:26:10,546
If you set foot on this path

1942
02:26:13,755 --> 02:26:20,505
Don't hesitate to give your head.

1943
02:26:42,505 --> 02:26:44,046
Son of a bitch!

1944
02:26:49,130 --> 02:26:49,880
Give me that.

1945
02:26:51,255 --> 02:26:53,505
Here's my account!

1946
02:27:05,421 --> 02:27:07,254
I'll put a bullet in you right now!

1947
02:27:07,255 --> 02:27:08,338
Sir, no! No!

1948
02:27:08,630 --> 02:27:10,796
Let go, I'll kill this bastard today!

1949
02:27:11,338 --> 02:27:13,755
Here's my account for 25,000 bodies!

1950
02:27:14,963 --> 02:27:18,213
I'll kill him... - Let's go out, come on.

1951
02:27:19,088 --> 02:27:27,045
Don't hesitate to give your head.

1952
02:27:27,046 --> 02:27:31,963
Don't hesitate

1953
02:27:32,546 --> 02:27:39,463
to give your head.

1954
02:27:42,380 --> 02:27:43,921
Then on the day before Diwali,

1955
02:27:45,546 --> 02:27:50,255
the SSP instructed me to bring Jaswant Singh to his farmhouse.

1956
02:27:55,005 --> 02:27:56,005
And...

1957
02:27:56,963 --> 02:27:58,838
Bitta sir was already there.

1958
02:28:03,921 --> 02:28:04,546
Hey!

1959
02:28:05,463 --> 02:28:08,713
What the hell are you saying? - Please be quiet!

1960
02:28:09,421 --> 02:28:11,838
Please be quiet! Please sit. - He's lying!

1961
02:28:12,213 --> 02:28:13,546
Order order.

1962
02:28:14,630 --> 02:28:16,171
He's a liar.

1963
02:28:16,338 --> 02:28:18,421
Please be quiet! - Traitor!

1964
02:28:21,088 --> 02:28:21,963
What happened then?

1965
02:28:26,005 --> 02:28:26,588
Then...

1966
02:28:28,380 --> 02:28:31,421
A little later, Bitta sir stormed out in anger,

1967
02:28:33,171 --> 02:28:36,963
got into his car and left without a word.

1968
02:28:41,880 --> 02:28:43,338
What happened inside...

1969
02:28:44,421 --> 02:28:47,421
was known only to the SSP

1970
02:28:47,921 --> 02:28:49,338
and to Bitta sir.

1971
02:28:51,213 --> 02:28:52,671
The rest of us were outside.

1972
02:28:55,338 --> 02:28:58,588
Then we took Jaswant Singh straight to Jhabal police station.

1973
02:28:59,755 --> 02:29:00,755
Come on!

1974
02:29:01,213 --> 02:29:02,755
Get him out. - Come on.

1975
02:29:04,796 --> 02:29:05,921
Let's go.

1976
02:29:06,963 --> 02:29:07,880
Let's go.

1977
02:29:08,296 --> 02:29:08,880
Attaboy!

1978
02:29:14,921 --> 02:29:16,588
No point talking to him.

1979
02:29:31,088 --> 02:29:33,505
Why don’t you just do what Bitta sir says?

1980
02:29:37,796 --> 02:29:39,963
What will all this accomplish?

1981
02:29:43,671 --> 02:29:45,171
Even if you die...

1982
02:29:47,921 --> 02:29:49,130
what will change?

1983
02:29:58,963 --> 02:30:00,963
You still have time.

1984
02:30:04,713 --> 02:30:05,630
It's up to you now.

1985
02:30:08,796 --> 02:30:09,838
Kuljit.

1986
02:30:17,838 --> 02:30:20,546
When the sun was setting for the first time,

1987
02:30:24,838 --> 02:30:28,005
and darkness was engulfing every...

1988
02:30:33,963 --> 02:30:35,088
... engulfing everything.

1989
02:30:36,588 --> 02:30:38,255
The world thought...

1990
02:30:40,588 --> 02:30:43,005
that the darkness would last forever.

1991
02:30:47,130 --> 02:30:49,005
People were frightened.

1992
02:30:52,838 --> 02:30:55,255
They started losing all hope of light.

1993
02:30:59,755 --> 02:31:01,255
That’s when, far away

1994
02:31:04,796 --> 02:31:07,130
in some little hut,

1995
02:31:10,671 --> 02:31:12,546
a lamp raised its head

1996
02:31:13,963 --> 02:31:14,671
and said,

1997
02:31:18,046 --> 02:31:20,463
“I challenge the darkness”.

1998
02:31:25,380 --> 02:31:30,505
However deep the darkness may be,

1999
02:31:34,505 --> 02:31:36,130
I will light up...

2000
02:31:38,755 --> 02:31:40,880
... my surroundings.

2001
02:31:43,671 --> 02:31:45,630
And watching the strength of this lamp,

2002
02:31:50,046 --> 02:31:53,296
other lamps arose in other huts.

2003
02:31:57,630 --> 02:32:00,005
And the world was amazed...

2004
02:32:03,380 --> 02:32:06,463
that these little lamps defeated the darkness, Kuljit.

2005
02:32:08,421 --> 02:32:09,713
You or I...

2006
02:32:13,796 --> 02:32:16,421
can’t defeat the darkness alone.

2007
02:32:22,505 --> 02:32:24,380
But we can be a lamp,

2008
02:32:26,838 --> 02:32:30,588
and defeat the darkness around us, Kuljit.

2009
02:32:37,838 --> 02:32:39,630
Are you listening, Kuljit?

2010
02:33:31,213 --> 02:33:34,296
Twenty five thousand... and one.

2011
02:33:44,296 --> 02:33:45,130
Go on.

2012
02:33:46,088 --> 02:33:47,338
Get some hot water.

2013
02:33:50,130 --> 02:33:51,005
Move it!

2014
02:34:42,463 --> 02:34:43,630
Dump him in the river.

2015
02:34:44,755 --> 02:34:46,838
The fish in Harike are starving.

2016
02:35:23,880 --> 02:35:26,213
I can’t ignore what I’ve seen, Pammi.

2017
02:35:29,171 --> 02:35:31,213
Someone has to come forward for them.

2018
02:35:38,963 --> 02:35:40,046
You asked me, didn’t you…

2019
02:35:40,963 --> 02:35:42,713
Whoever comes forward, what about their family?

2020
02:35:50,296 --> 02:35:52,546
This decision is for my family.

2021
02:36:00,796 --> 02:36:03,421
Then we... we took him...

2022
02:36:07,755 --> 02:36:08,963
... to Harike.

2023
02:36:23,630 --> 02:36:26,255
Pull him out! - Come on.

2024
02:36:40,963 --> 02:36:42,088
Here, take this.
