All language subtitles for Criminal Justice Adhura Sach - S01E04 - Section 15

Mukul!

Mukul!

How did you get hurt?

Ask Rocky.

Sir, he started it.

We had to teach him a lesson.

-My reputation was at stake--
-Reputation?

Look at that.

Does bullying others around here
add to your reputation?

Listen, wise guy.

Stay away from that boy.

If I see you poking him around,

then it will be your ass.

On the line.

Get lost. Come on.

Run along.

Looks like an incredible place,
Mehman ji.

Where is she?

-Hello.
-Yes, sir?

Avantika ji. She's over there.

Watch... you fool...

See...

The media has painted Mukul
as the villain.

We must change this narrative.

Look, you shouldn't make the media
your friend or your foe.

First things first,
go to the police.

Tell them that you suspect Moti.

If they investigate

and solve the case,
then great.

Otherwise, we'll use it to
corner the prosecution in court.

Fine, I'll talk to the police.

Looking at the seriousness
of the crime,

we propose Section 15
of the Juvenile Justice Act

and appeal to the board

that the main accused
in the Zara murder case

be tried as an adult.

And what if the board
accepts this proposal?

If the accusations against him
are proved in an adult trial,

then he won't get the privileges
normally given to juveniles by the law.

He'll have to serve
the entire sentence as an adult,

which can even be a life sentence.

Has his psycho-social
evaluation been done?

-Not yet, sir.
-Then get it done.

Along with
the bone ossification test.

And hurry up.

Okay.

They are thinking of
trying you as an adult.

Bad news for you.

What does "adult trial" mean?

Good question.

It means right now, they've sent you
here considering you to be a minor.

Doesn't matter how serious
a punishment you get here,

for any serious crime,

the maximum sentence
you'll get is 2-3 years.

You can't be sentenced
for any longer.

But if the test proves that
you're an adult and not a minor,

then you're seriously screwed.

For life, right?

Life imprisonment.

You can be looking at that too.

You'll be kept here
for a couple of years,

and then shifted... promoted...

to the big prison.

Surrounded by bigger goons
and criminals.

There you'll definitely be...

Then you will miss this place.

And me as well.

Focus on Moti, sir.

He was a little crazy about Zara.

Don't worry, ma'am.

We're doing our job.

We'll deal with this.

-Yes, sir. Thank you.
-Yes.

That was Avantika on the phone.

She suspects a spot boy called Moti.

Okay.

This is definitely
her lawyer's idea.

Make the police chase someone else,
waste their time.

They think they're very smart.

Sir, I know Madhav Mishra.

If we don't follow up,

then he will definitely use this
against us in court.

Claiming that the police
didn't do their job.

The charge sheet is ready.

It's watertight.

File it. Quickly.

The PP office
has been calling me repeatedly.

Get this done immediately.

But, sir,
what about the lead on Moti?

Investigate that too.

But file the charge sheet first.

Okay?

Right, sir.

-Ma'am.
-Hmm?

The copy of the charge sheet
is here.

Thank you.

How could they file
the charge sheet like this?

They know about Moti.

I spoke with
Prashant Waghmare personally.

But, for them,
this must be more important.

What now, Madhav ji?

What now?
The real game begins now.

I'll read the charge sheet.

See how the opposition is preparing
before they enter the battlefield.

And we'll plan our strategy
accordingly.

I'll call you back in the evening.

Yes.

Hello.

Sonam?

Avantika Ahuja here.

Come.

Hi, Papa.

Hi, Mukul.

What happened?

Nothing.

The protection money didn't help?

Just let it be.

-I'll speak with Shinde--
-Won't help.

Why do they want to try me
as an adult?

They are just coming after me.

It's not about you, Mukul.

Don't worry, buddy. You'll be fine.

You said the same exact words

that day,

when

Mom and you were getting a divorce.

"You'll be fine."

"It's not about you."

Who is in jail now, Papa?

Whose life is fucked up?

Papa, let it be, please.

Mukul, I wish
I could go back in time

and change a few decisions.

But...

Me too.

Right now,
we're in Zara Ahuja's home

with Avantika Ahuja.

Avantika wasn't just Zara's
stepmom and her manager,

in fact, she has a close relation
with the juvenile accused

of Zara's murder as well.

Avantika,

on the one hand,
you can see the overwhelming love

for Zara among the people,
but, on the other, you also see

immense hatred
for a juvenile suspect.

We've also heard that
the relationship

between the suspect
and Zara wasn't good.

These are only stories.

They were kids.

They argued, they fought,

but they also loved each other.

The accused, who is a juvenile,

a video of him went viral, Avantika,

where he's being pretty violent

and beating someone up.

Yes...

he has anger issues.

But which teenager doesn't?

Being short-tempered
doesn't mean he killed someone

or that he's become a murderer.

Is that even possible?

And nothing like that ever happened
again after that one incident.

He goes for counselling,
takes regular therapy sessions,

but you people...

the media

are just portraying him
as a monster.

So you believe that
he didn't commit this crime?

Absolutely not.

Even I want to find
my daughter's killer.

Thank you so much, Avantika.

Another very important thing.

I gave the police
another suspect's name,

who was at the party that night.

But the police completely ignored
this information.

I was expecting better from them.

Suspect?

What is she saying?

We're following up on it.

What do you mean you are?

Why haven't you done it yet?

Wasn't it your office
that issued orders

to file the charge sheet
immediately?

We're trying our best. Don't worry.

Does this new suspect also have
the means, motive and opportunity?

Maybe.

Listen, Prashant, I don't want
any rude surprises in court. Okay?

We're checking Moti's alibi.

We should get it soon.

Okay, thank you.

Wasn't it enough to see
the pictures taken by the police

that we're here to investigate?

Our job is to see what

the police overlooked
or didn't want to see, understand?

We'll go to the crime scene,

take pictures of our own

and investigate.

A lawyer's job isn't
just donning the black robe

and minting money, Deepu.

Understood?

Yes. Let's go
take some pictures then.

Hey,

where can I find spot boy Moti?

Were you on duty
on the night of Zara's murder?

No, sir.

The night security guard
was on duty that night.

Okay. So, it was someone else.

Come on.

Moti?

Yes.

I am investigating
the Zara Ahuja murder case.

I have some questions for you.

I can't believe that...
she is no longer with us.

Did you know Zara well?

Since her first shoot, madam.

When did you see Zara
for the last time?

The last time?

At the party.

Ritika madam's party.

Here in Madh.

-Shall we?
-No.

What time did Zara leave
for the party?

Midnight.

Says here
the beach is on the right.

-Is the party location also this way?
-That's ahead.

So you were there the whole night?

No. I...

left at 2 a.m.

Where to?

There...

was no ice.

Why did you have to go out for that?

That's available in the hotel
as well.

They...

also ran out of cigarettes,

and you know that these parties

can't do without them.

So, I went for cigarettes--

How is it...

that it took us 15 minutes
to get here in this rickshaw

and he took 45 minutes to
get here in his car worth 5 million?

What do you think
he was doing all that time?

Preparing for the murder,
Mehman ji.

Preparing the spot, what else?

Yes, this is what
the prosecution lawyer will say.

Right.

Is anything wrong, madam?

Did someone say something about me?

Look, a lot of people
are jealous of me.

You see, I'm the favourite
of all the stars.

You didn't come back
to the party, Moti.

I've watched the CCTV footage.

All the shops were closed, so...

I went back to my room.

Where?

At Madh lodge.

That day, production had booked
a room for us in that lodge.

So that's where I went.

The forensic evidence
is based on three things.

-Come.
-Thank you.

Welcome, sir.

Traces of the same drugs
recovered from Mukul's room

being found in Zara's blood.

This is the place, look.

Secondly,

Mukul's fingerprints
on the can of acid

being recovered
from the crime scene.

And thirdly,

the swab sample
matching with Zara's DNA.

This is the room.

The prosecution will raise
a storm on these three points.

Give me your phone.

Give it.

This is my number.

Send me the numbers
of the other spot boys.

A picture of this place
was found on Mukul's phone,

which was taken on the same day.

Look.

Take a picture.

Come, I'll take a picture.

You...
I didn't tell you to take a selfie.

You said, "Take a picture."

Take a picture of the crime scene!

Always busy on social media.

Wherever you see a marking.

Mehman ji.

What confuses me

is if he's committed the crime

and also disposed of the body,

then why did he leave
this can of acid here?

Maybe he was in a fit of rage,
or it slipped his mind,

or he didn't think about it.

Although I can
normally digest anything,

I cannot digest this.

And you don't know
young guys these days

watch all these amazing crime
documentaries on the Internet.

First, he murdered here
without wearing any gloves,

then left his fingerprints
on the can,

and then left the can
at the crime scene?

Where did you get
such a large amount from?

Isn't it not supposed to
be sold over the counter?

Well, madam, it's...

it's easily available in black.

Sometimes during the shoot,

we have to clean the floors.

That's why...

Give me one too.

I'll have to ask, madam.

Then go ask. Go on.

Ask.

Always lost in his own world.

Haven't you seen him?

He's not a professional criminal.
Maybe he forgot.

Excuse me, sir.

Hello.

The guard informed me you're here.

I am Mahendra Awasthi.

Project manager for Oakland Springs

Since the police
have sealed this house...

No, no, we saw that.

We were just leaving.

It was terrible
what happened to the girl.

The police were here.
They checked everything.

Okay.

Did you find anything new?

No.

Is it your day off?

For a lifetime, sir.

Who would buy a house

where such a terrible
incident has occurred?

Dhiren sir is ruined.

Yes, one's loss
is another man's profit.

Let me know if I can be
of any help to you.

No, thank you.

We were just leaving.

-Come on, Deep.
-Goodbye.

Thank you.

All the reviewing, taking pictures,

and asking around,

but the questions still remain.

And the answers
are nowhere in sight.

Deep,

think deep.

Sometimes even if you just
find the right questions,

you can still make a breakthrough.

Police claim you left
the complex at 12:15,

and reached the party spot at 12:45.

The distance
is hardly 10-15 minutes.

What took you so long?

What were you doing?
Why did it take you so long?

I... stopped at the ATM.

To withdraw money?

The morning Zara disappeared--

I have already given my statement
to the police!

Many times!

Yes, but there are many changes
in those "many times."

Look, Mukul, if you keep changing
your statement over and over again,

then the police will grow
more suspicious.

It's like inviting trouble
for yourself.

Why did you change your statement
so many times?

Because I like to be interrogated
over and over again!

I just trip on it!

When I was questioned
the first time,

I thought Zara is just missing.

That's why I felt

maybe it was not necessary
to disclose all the details.

First big mistake, bro.

You would understand
if your sister was a diva like her.

Bro!

If Zara had been found that day,

she would have appreciated
me covering for her.

Did Zara and you do drugs together?

Zara and I
never did anything together!

Nothing at all?

The drugs found in Zara's blood

was the same as the one
recovered from your room.

Because those same drugs
are popular at all parties.

Everyone takes them.

I see.

Like it's tea or coffee.

"Everyone takes them."

They want to try me as an adult.
Can you stop it?

No. They have a right to that.

Then...

Are they going to ask me
these same questions?

Not now.

But sometime during the trial
they will.

First,

they will do
your psychological evaluation.

Based on which, they will determine
your mental age.

And based on that,

the court will decide whether
you can be tried as an adult

or not.

Meaning I can convince them

that I am not an adult?

What will I have to do?
What do I say?

Just tell them the truth.

The counsellor's opinion
is very important to the board.

And I'll be there.

If you stay with the truth,

then the truth won't leave you.

Remember that.

Hey!

That's a keyboard,
not a drum.

Pounding on it.

Only for studying.

Only Shinde sir has access
to the Internet here.

Hey,

you're pretty fast at it.

Teach me.

Mukul, teach me too.

Let's...

make a deal.

I'll teach you how to work this,

and in exchange...

Whom will you support?

I will support Mumbai, dude.

-Sir. Really sorry, sir.
-Are you sleepy or what?

I didn't see you there, sir.
Sorry, sir.

It won't happen again.

Sorry.

That's it.

It's done. It's done.

Hey, hey... careful.

Lie down.

Lie down.

I'll go inform them.

Any slight movement
and you give me the signal. Okay?

Hurry up, someone's coming.

Give me a minute.

Sir,

the laundry truck has arrived.

Sign here.

Hi, Mukul.

Hi.

I am Sharda, your counsellor.

How are you?

Good.

Water?

I don't want to drink water.

So you drink?

You would too

if the entire world was hell-bent on

proving that you killed your sister.

And how long have you been drinking?

Just after Mom and Dad's divorce.

I kind of lost my shit.

I've been looking for you two.

Even your phone is unreachable.

Everyone was calling us
for payments.

So we switched off our phones.

The producers never pay us on time.

Why should we have
to bear the brunt?

I wanted to ask
a few questions about Moti.

Moti?

Zara baby's loyalist.

His name is like a dog's
and his loyalty too.

Madam, we just joke about him.

But honestly, madam,

Moti would always turn up
wherever Zara baby would be.

And several times he's agreed
to work for low wages.

Yes. He made the same deal
for Dance N Chance.

He agreed to work for low wages
only for Zara baby's sake.

-Copy, copy. Coming.
-Wait, wait.

When did Moti return to the lodge
on the night of Zara's murder?

Madam, why are you asking
these questions?

Routine inquiry.

We returned to our rooms
after finishing work

at around 4:00,
but he wasn't there then.

Yes, madam.

Go on.

Yes, madam.

Back to the station.

You're looking so handsome.

Let me style you too.

Why? Why?

Everyone's going to see you
on TV today.

If you give me a makeover,
no one will recognise me.

Just a little...

Mehman ji,
fortune has arrived at our doorstep.

Avantika ji's cheque has arrived.

-See.
-It has?

Show me.

Look at the number of zeros
before the decimal!

-Didi, give me a makeover too.
-See how much I got paid.

Yes, of course.

Today Madhav Mishra's assistant
will also be breaking news.

Did you remind Avantika ji
about the trimmer?

Oh, shit!

You only focus on your makeover
and forget about my case.

Your brother is only good
to guard bodies.

-Hey...
-What hey?

Useless man.

Yes.

Yes, Madhav ji.

Yes, I am getting it.

Yes, okay.

All the best, dear husband.

And when you talk
to the media outside,

say a few words about
your dear wife's beauty parlour too.

For promotion's sake.

Why don't I just wrap one of your
parlour's advertisements around me?

Or after every argument, I'll say,

"This argument is sponsored
by Ratna Beauty Parlour."

Then the judge, police
and criminals

will all come to get a facial
from you.

No...

Let's go.

Let's go, okay?

-Come.
-Come on.

Shall we?

We appeal to the board that,
considering the nature of the crime,

the case should be tried under
Section 15 of the Juvenile Justice Act.

This case fulfils all criteria

where a juvenile can be tried
as an adult.

It's a heinous crime,

amounting to the death penalty or
life imprisonment under Section 302.

We believe that Mukul should
receive strict punishment

for the ghastly crime
he has committed.

Your Honour, Mukul Ahuja
is only technically a minor.

These are his bone ossification tests
and his birth certificate.

Anyway, he was a little under 18
when the crime was committed.

This proves that
it was an adult mind's idea

and an adult body's execution.

Your Honour,

Mukul Ahuja is still a suspect
and not a criminal.

And if the prosecution believes that
the crime was committed by an adult,

then there can be some truth in it.

But not because Mukul is an adult.

It's because the police
have arrested the wrong person.

All the evidence
from the police is circumstantial.

Circumstantial.

If this innocent child
is tried as an adult,

then that will be unfair to the law.

It will be unfair if this murder case
is treated like any other murder case.

These pictures from
the crime scene could be disturbing,

but they prove that Zara Ahuja
wasn't killed with a single blow.

In fact, she was burnt with acid
while she was still alive.

The cause of her death
was neurogenic shock.

Zara died of pain.

And her culprit should
be punished accordingly.

If Mukul Ahuja is innocent,
then the court will acquit him.

But, if he is guilty,

then he should not receive
any privilege from the law.

Your Honour,

Ms. Agastya, for her convenience,
is forgetting that,

in court,

he'll be tried
according to his crime.

And in front of the juvenile board,

he'll be tried according to his age.

This is a juvenile court.

In the interest of society,

we're vested with
the responsibility of securing

and safeguarding
the future of children.

I would like the board

to fulfil their responsibility

and protect this child's
juvenile status.

May the psychological assessment
report of the accused

and the counsellor's
preliminary assessment report

be submitted to the court.

Counsellor, please take the stand.

Have you evaluated
Mukul Ahuja?

Yes.

What is your opinion?

Your Honour, in my opinion,

Mukul Ahuja is physically capable
of committing this crime.

But is Mukul mentally capable too?

Can he be considered a juvenile?

Mukul's childhood has not been easy.

He saw his family fall apart
in front of his eyes.

I mean

he saw his parents get divorced.

And that's very emotionally
stressful for any child.

Mukul also started

consuming drugs at a very young age.

This affects

the development of the mind

and impulse control too.

The mind and maturity
required to commit this crime

and the ability required

to execute with a calm mind,

I...

don't see that in Mukul.

Your Honour,

according to my diagnosis,

Mukul Ahuja also suffers

from attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder.

I would like to recommend
the court

to treat Mukul Ahuja as a juvenile.

That's all, My Lord.

You can take your seat.

Excuse me, Your Honour.

I will absolutely not tolerate this
in my court!

I am sorry, Your Honour,

but we just acquired
some information

that can affect
the proceedings of this court.

I request special permission
to update the board, Your Honour.

Prosecutor, the defence
and the officer,

please approach the dais.

The police have given us important
information at the right time.

At the juvenile home,
Mukul Ahuja was seen

sneaking into
the superintendent's office,

which had the only computer
with access to the Internet.

From that computer,
the police have found

Mukul Ahuja's
Internet search results,

which prove that

Mukul Ahuja used

the internet to manipulate
his preliminary assessment

and to escape punishment
under Section 15.

The actions of this child
in conflict

with the law
have forced us to believe

that he can think, conspire

and execute a crime like an adult.

The board accepts
the prosecution's proposal

to try this case under Section 15.

The court is adjourned.

Let's go.

You aren't able to see clearly.

You're so influenced by him

that saying anything seems futile.

I was in the lodge, madam.

-I didn't--
-Kill her!

Again the same thing.

Why are you wasting our time?

You'll rot in here
for the rest of your life.

If you didn't kill her,

then why do you have so many
pictures of her on your phone?

No one saw you
after you left the party.

No one knows where you were.

And what about the cans of acid
lying in your storeroom?

Why wouldn't the police
speculate that you killed Zara?

Even at court, the judge
might feel the same way.

Madam.

Listen to me.

I have always been nice to you.

I was being lenient
because you're from a good family.

Why?

So you can screw with me?

-Sorry--
-Shut up!

Put him in solo.

Come on.

Come.

Come.

And he couldn't stop himself.

So much fun.

I wish you were there.

Yeah.

Anyway, we'll do more
of these reunions...

I'll be there.

I'll be right back, okay?

What happened?

Just... coming back.

Okay.

Hello, ladies. So nice to see you.

Have this drink. Enjoy the party.

I'll be right back.

Okay. All right.

Thank you, sir,
for meeting me last minute.

No problem.

Is this about the Zara murder case?

Sir,

do you know spot boy Moti?

Yes, I know him very well. Why?
What happened to him?

On the night of Zara's murder,

was Moti with you from 2:00 to 5:00?

How can that be?

You went to bed early that night,
didn't you?

Yeah.

You said you were feeling sick.

He ruined my evening too.

Yes... Moti said the same thing,

that sir wasn't feeling too well,

and he went out
to get medicines for him.

But, since the shops
were pretty far,

it took him a while.

Yeah, exactly.

Naina,

where did you go?

The champagne is waiting for you.

-Come!
-Coming.

You go enjoy the party, yeah?

I'll see you.

Enjoy, ladies.

What happened?
Everything okay?

Yeah, you know...

Thanks for the cover-up.

Otherwise, I would've had
my third divorce today.

Anyway,

Moti was standing outside
my hotel room that night.

He was keeping an eye out

so he can warn me
if my wife suddenly shows up.

Moti was there for quite a while.

It was just...

one of those nights, you know?

Thank you.

Good night.

Moti's alibi sort of checks out.

Now once
the forensic team's report arrives--

The report has arrived.

The concentration of Moti's acid

doesn't match with the one
from the murder.

Okay.

Open the fucking door!

Open the fucking door!

Open...

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck you, Zara, fuck you!

You've always ruined
my fucking life.

Bitch. I'll break her jaw.

Why doesn't she die?

Zara! Zara! Zara! Zara! Zara! Zara!

I'm gonna teach her a lesson.

I'll show you!

I'm gonna fucking kill her!
