All language subtitles for Criminal Justice Adhura Sach S1E7

Where is Mukul?
He hasn't arrived yet.

About that...

Actually,

some of the kids escaped
from the juvenile home.

What?

Did you get any call from them?

-Did you get any calls? No.
-No.

Not yet.

I have an informer inside.

He gave me this secret information.

Good morning.

If Mukul has run away, I suggest
we should inform the judge now.

It will save our time,
and we will also get the next date.

Right?

No, I'll handle it.
I'll handle it.

Sure.

By the way,
I can clearly see on your faces

whether Mukul has run away
from the correctional home or not.

But you'll manage it.

Madam prosecutor,

where is the child
in conflict with the law?

Your Honour, Mukul Ahuja...

Mukul Ahuja.

Your Honour, the prosecution claims

they found a can at
the scene of the crime.

PE 9.

They found acid in the can,

which was used to commit the crime.

Let's believe it.

But they have
a very weak connection

connecting this evidence
to my client.

And that is fingerprints.

My client has clarified
in his statement

why his fingerprints are on it.

So, Your Honour, my point is

the connection
that the prosecution is

making their case with
is pretty weak

and can break any minute.

And even the evidence

is circumstantial.

Objection, Your Honour.

Mukul Ahuja's fingerprints
were found on the jerrycan.

And we have strong reasons
to file it as a murder weapon.

Your Honour, the prosecution
believes my client is guilty

because he touched the can.

It's a good thing some unlucky
person didn't go there to pee.

Otherwise, even he would've
also been a murder suspect.

Counsel, please behave yourself.

Investigating Officer,

did you find any evidence supporting

that the jerrycan could have been
used by anyone else?

No, Your Honour.

We've established a timeline
for the past three days.

Thank you, Officer.

Anything else about this jerrycan?

Yes, Your Honour.

Witness number 24.

The contractor of the bungalow

before construction was stopped.

He has testified that
neither he nor his team

had left behind
any jerrycan of acid

during the construction.

Yes, the prosecution has
been suitably reminded about this.

Your Honour, I ask permission

to call my next witness,
Mr. Govind Bhatt.

Mr. Bhatt,

please tell the court about
yourself and your expertise.

Your Honour,

I'm a retired department head
of plastic packaging

of Western Indian division
of Standards Bureau.

The can that you see here as evidence,

did you investigate it?

Yes.

Is it

suitable for storing acid?

No.

This plastic container is
not suitable for storing acid.

In long-term use,

the plastic begins
to corrode due to the acid.

Meaning it starts melting.

The second image of PE 9.

Look at this picture.

Maybe you recognise this?

Can you tell us in detail?
Can you explain it?

Of course.

This stain was formed
due to the leaking of acid

stored in an inferior plastic.

Tell us, normally how long does it take
for this stain to form, Mr. Bhatt?

Around a week... ten days.

Let's assume
if someone keeps it overnight,

is it possible for this stain
to form in the morning or afternoon?

Not possible.

It cannot happen
in such little time.

Your Honour, it takes about 10 days

for this stain to form.

So, if Mukul was planning
anything like this,

he would've kept the can of acid at
the crime scene at least a week ago.

Whereas a week ago,
Mukul had no clue

that he was going to Madh Island.

So, the most important
question here is...

who got that can there?

Thank you, Your Honour.

Thank you.

Counsel.

No questions, Your Honour.

No questions?

Yes, Your Honour, no questions

because defence counsel has

already wasted the court's
and our time.

I don't know where he studied law.

Where the jerrycan came from,

when it came, why it came,
how the stains were formed,

What difference does it make?

Mukul Ahuja's fingerprints
are on that jerrycan,

and the acid used to murder
Zara was found on that jerrycan.

I cannot see a more clean
and direct connection.

So, no,

I won't waste
the court's time anymore.

No questions.

I studied at Patna Law University.

But you studied there, didn't you?
In London.

-The British School of Law.
-Yes.

Didn't they teach you

that you should first test
your conviction?

Why would this kid
leave behind evidence

after committing a crime?
Why won't he hide it someplace else?

Because, Madhav ji,
he must have thought

that he had wiped
his fingerprints.

How could he assume that
he wiped off his fingerprints?

They found his fingerprints
on several other things.

They found his partial fingerprints
on the can of acid too.

He must have left it all in a hurry.

When he brings
the victim there in a car,

commits the crime,

instead of cleaning evidence
and taking it far away in his car,

why will he make an incomplete
effort of wiping evidence?

This logic is beyond me,
Your Honour.

Your Honour, I believe

some other person
arrived there after Mukul.

He used the can wearing gloves,

due to which Mukul's partial
fingerprints were left on the can

and this other person's fingerprints
weren't there at all.

No, I object, Your Honour.

This is speculation.

Sustained.

Let me tell madam prosecutor

that it's the prosecution's duty
to prove the accusations

and not the defence's duty
to disprove them.

They dismiss all my arguments as
guesswork, speculation, assumption.

So, first, you need to

do your duty of dismissing
reasonable doubt,

and then, even I'll say
what the British say...

"I beg your pardon."

Judging my privileges

won't change the truth, Madhav ji.

Counsels! Don't waste
the court's time on personal attacks.

Sorry, Your Honour.

Right now, Mukul and I
are in a similar situation.

We are being judged.

Me for my background,

and this child for his past.

This discrimination is also observed
in the investigation of evidence.

Thank you.

We never would've known.
The police never...

Mukul.

I am so sorry.

-I thought you--
-Ran away?

Where would I go, Mom?

And I would have run

if I had done something wrong.

Or if you were an idiot.

I never doubted you, Mukul.

Doesn't matter what anyone says.

I know my son.

I know that...

now.

You,

Mom and

Madhav ji

always supported me despite
everything that happened.

But,

if I don't win this case,

then none of this matters.

No, son.

We will win this case, Mukul.

Believe me,

you will win.

I don't know, Mom.

-Scan all this...
-Lekha ji.

I apologise for getting
a little personal in there.

It's okay. I'm quite used to it now.

Yes, yes.

Actually, this makes me feel
that you can sense your defeat.

You're getting desperate.

If I lose, then an innocent boy
will be sentenced

because he's being judged
not by law, but for his flaws.

Madhav sir, aren't you tired
of giving these excuses?

Isn't it possible that
maybe Mukul is playing you?

Maybe you are wrong,
and he's the killer.

Awesome.

She made you lick the dust,
Mehman ji

She didn't do it. I let her do it.

See, she was confident till now,

but now she will get overconfident,

and then she will slip up.

Wow, sir...

Welcome home, Mukul Ahuja.

Why? You could have

run off with your disciples.

They didn't tell me
they were planning to escape.

I see.

You must have taught them how.

Otherwise, how would
those kids be so smart?

If I had known their plan,

I would have run away too, sir.

Will you admit it willingly, or...

You can put me in isolation, sir.

By the way, how did they escape?

Your security is so tight.

Back-answering me?

I'll slap you!

Sampat,

take him in.

Come on.

-Take him inside.
-Come on.

Sir,

many, many happy returns of the day.

Bloody thick-skinned boy.

All his arguments have been denied.

He's desperate, and one can see it.

But okay, if you say so,

then I will be more careful.

I am not teaching you
to cross the road, Lekha.

Understand the situation.

And this case is important
for both our careers.

Madhav Mishra is like
a Diwali firecracker.

Fire him up
and he can fly in any direction.

And right now

I can see this firecracker
heading in our direction.

So you do your homework.

Study all of
Madhav Mishra's previous cases.

Map out his strategy,

and then prepare.

Okay?

Got it, sir.

Thank God Mukul didn't run away.

I was beginning to get scared
of his behaviour.

I was scared too.

He didn't have an easy childhood.

Especially, as long as
we were together.

Hmm.

He suffered the most
from our fights.

And he was helpless.

I wish
we didn't argue so much, Arvind.

Maybe, we could have...

Excuse me.

Hello.

If Mukul didn't do it,

then who got the acid there?

Maybe there is someone who knew
that the bungalow is deserted.

And also knew Zara is coming there.

But what could be the motive?

TV ratings?

No, are you joking?

Not that family drama...

Just a thought
that crossed my mind...

Maybe some insurance

that someone could've gained.

You're not Deep,

but the darkness under it.

But...

But who could gain from it?

I mean, who would gain
from Zara's death?

-Neeraj, Avantika...
-Dhiren Mittal.

He stands to lose.

A lot.

Instead of publicity,
this got him negative publicity.

The rates of his property
fell considerably.

When he loses, who will gain?

His enemy.

Then let's summon and question him.

Hey, idiot, who are we?

Police or lawyers?

We are lawyers.

Lawyers don't summon, they visit.

Understood?

-Fine. Then let's go.
-Yes.

Good morning.

You're up early.

Good morning, Dad.

Yeah, my boss gave me some homework.

So just...

I thought government jobs
are strictly 9 to 5.

Do you get paid for this overtime?

I get satisfaction

if the job is done properly.

That's adorable.

You've reminded me
early in the morning

why I don't understand
your insistence on doing this job.

I thought you'd become

a corporate lawyer
and join my company.

But you took on the burden
of delivering justice.

Those who get privileges

never give it any respect.

Actually, I'm quite well aware
of my privileges, Dad.

And that's why this job
is right for me

because my incentive is not money.

I do it for justice.

Noble but naive daughter of mine.

It's not easy to cut ties
with privileges, dear.

What do you think?

You got this high-profile case
because of your merit?

Or because of my contacts?

If you have money,

have lots of it.

If you have a job,

it should be a respected one.

Have a nice day.

Come, sir.

What's the matter?
Are you not well, Mahendra ji?

-Hello.
-Sit.

It's just a seasonal allergy, sir.

That's all.

It's my business
that's not doing well, sir.

Can't figure out when
this project will restart again.

Well, even I wanted to know,

do you think that maybe
one of your business rivals

planned this murder?

Do you suspect anyone?

Sir, business means making enemies.

Everyone has enemies here.

Now, if Zara's ad had been
published in the newspaper,

things would have been different.

We could have said that
someone did it out of jealousy.

Why did you specifically select Zara
for this ad?

I knew she was a big star.

And families loved her.

By the way, it was Mahendra ji
who recommended her name

because his daughter
was a big fan of Zara.

Okay... Was?

She died some time ago.

Oh...

That was not the only reason.

Zara was quite popular
among adults as well as children.

And that's why I thought...

Who could have guessed
this would happen?

Yes.

So, tell me,
who among your employees

knew that Zara was coming here?

Can I get their names, numbers
and other details?

-How--
-Do you think someone

from our company was involved?

No, that's not what I think.

But I want to check and
understand from every angle.

Maybe one of your employees
is in the enemy's pocket?

Oh... that way.

Fine.

Mahendra ji, give him the list.

Yes, sir.

There was only one
silver lining in all of this.

What is that?

-The unfinished bungalow?
-Yes.

Its owner sold it to us
at a cheaper price.

Oh...

Pick up the phone!

Why are you disturbing our sleep?

You're a lawyer, aren't you?

Why does your phone
keep ringing like a doctor's?

It's 6 a.m. Please let us sleep.

-Hmm?
-You're still sleeping?

Mehman ji?

Come quickly. It's urgent.

How urgent?

Come quickly.

Doesn't even let me sleep.

Coming.

Deepu, you are late.

What do you want?

Should I teleport here?

Stop complaining.

Stop grumbling. Open the hard disk.

-Show me the bungalow's pictures.
-You are unbelievable.

We could've done this
during office hours too.

According to
Mahendra Awasthi's statement,

he arrived
at the bungalow complex

immediately after the guard called.

Yes.

Look at his arrival time
in the CCTV footage,

and check when the guard called
in his call records.

Let me tell you.

There is a 30-minute difference
between the two.

So, he did arrive soon.

This is where you faltered, Deepu.

How long have you been in Mumbai?

Just a few months back.

Do you know the distance
between Virar and Madh?

Then how did he...

Did he teleport there in 30 minutes?

So, this man is lying then.

Yes. That's what we must
find out now. Why is he lying?

-Namaste.
-Yes.

I am Madhav Mishra.

The lawyer in the Zara murder case.

Yes, I saw you on TV.

Tell me.

Nothing. I wanted some information
in relation to that.

But he isn't at home.

Doesn't matter.

We'll get the information from you.

Give me some water to drink.

It's just routine questions.
Nothing special.

You can tell us.

-Give it.
-I forgot to get water.

How can you forget?

What kind of assistant are you?
Forgot to carry water.

Is this how you'll do your job?
Can't even remember to...

Listen, it's okay.

Come inside.
I'll get you some water.

-Come
-Thank you.

Yes.

Mahendra ji cooperated
a lot with us.

I met him with Mr. Mittal

Do you remember anything from
the night that Zara was murdered?

Everything was normal that day.

He left at around 8:00
in the morning

for office after having breakfast.

And as soon as he left, I got busy
with the household chores.

Because he's supposed to reach
the office at exactly 9:30.

And what time does he return?

Between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m.

What time did he return that day?

Same time, 9 p.m.

In fact,
we even had dinner together.

Amazing.

That's all I think, isn't it?

I don't think we want
any more information.

Can I use your washroom?

Yes.

-It's this way.
-This way? Okay.

Keep her busy here.

That's the problem with him.

I didn't forget
to carry the bottle of water.

I intentionally don't carry it
with me.

He has a bladder problem.

Direct connection with his kidneys.

He drinks water,

and then keeps searching
for a bathroom all day.

Whenever a crime is committed,

the criminal alone is blamed for it.

When in fact the entire society
is responsible, ma'am.

Yes, yes. Let's go, society.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Yes.

Pick it up.

Let's go.

Namaste.

10th December.

Last year.

This is the DR of that date.

Ritu Awasthi suicide case.

Can you tell us what
this prescription is for?

This was prescribed by me.

Yes, it was prescribed by you.

But for which illness
do you prescribe this medicine?

It's a lung infection.

All these bottles were kept
in the bathroom.

Phenyl, acid, shampoo, et cetera.

I think
the kid wanted to drink phenyl.

But accidentally she drank acid.

She fell unconscious immediately

and turned cold soon after.

For good.

And why does this infection occur?

What is the reason?

Look, when someone works
around chemicals,

it affects them.

The child was not too social.

She usually kept to herself.

We even asked the neighbours.

The child was a little dull.

She was shy, quiet.

From home to school,
school to home.

That was all her life was.

Listen, idiot.

Bittu isn't scared of anyone.

She can protect herself.

Bittu is competent, she is strong,

and her biggest strength
is her imagination.

And any kind of mental illness
like depression, anxiety

or any such problem?

We did ask,

but we found no such history.

Her page is filled
with so many posts,

but her last post
got the most views.

I see.

You see, Mehman ji,

this is why she got trolled.

What? What did she get?

It's when people insult you online,
thinking it's funny.

Can you tell me the date?

There must be a date
on the prescription. Here it is.

25th May.

Meaning Mahendra Awasthi came here

four days after Zara's murder.

There is one thing here
useful for us.

Look.

Look who joined in
on her trolling trend.

Zara Ahuja herself.

I see.

The entire game changed
after Zara's comment.

After this,
Zara's fans made her life hell.

They used to regularly troll her.

The value of innocence
is just to be trolled.

Unbelievable.

You're absolutely right, Mehman ji.

But that's the world
we're living in today. What to do?

Wait a minute.

In the death of both girls,

acid was used.

Hmm.

But

where will we get
the testimonial evidence for it?

The judge won't buy it.

What to do?

Two men were here today.

Who?

Madhav Mishra and his assistant.

Why didn't you call me?

I did,
but you never answer your phone.

Okay.

Fine.

Don't talk to them
if they come back again.

Tell them to talk to me.

What are you thinking?

I was thinking

there is nothing on record

on why Mahendra and
Saroj's daughter Ritu drank acid.

Nor did the police

mention the social media
trolling anywhere.

The parents know, right?

No. The mother is silent.

But you're capable of getting
information out with love.

This is why I like you.

Just watch.

Once you get her to the witness box,

you'll get her to say everything.

No. Right now,

more than calling her
to the witness box,

it's important for me
to know the truth.

For my confirmation,

unbiased opinion.

Then don't take her to court,

but get the information.

Mahendra must have told his wife,

"Don't meet Mishra at any cost."

What about me?

You?

Of course.
So what if I am not a lawyer?

I have a way with words.

Namaste, madam.

My name is Ratna.

I provide home beauty services.

-Manicure, pedicure--
-I don't want it.

Ma'am, I am also giving
a special discount.

Please.

I said I don't want anything.

Please leave.

Look,

every woman should
pamper herself a little.

Just one head massage and a facial.

I swear
it will even relax your soul.

100% guarantee.

I said leave.
I don't want it.

Ma'am, please.

You'll feel relaxed,

and I'll make some money.

Actually,

I'm three months pregnant,

and my husband is in jail.

It's very tough for me.

Please?

Come in.

Thank you.

You should keep getting
a massage at regular intervals.

You see,

it eases the tension
in your body and mind.

Often, the pain that we women
feel manifests in our bodies.

Tiredness comes into the shoulders,
and restlessness in our legs.

But I've heard that,
once the child is born,

there is no greater joy.

And no sorrow greater than theirs.

Often I wonder

how I will raise it alone.

I mean, will I earn a living

or give him a good upbringing?

Yes,

it is a little tough,

but children are blessings of God,

and He's the one
who raises them too.

So, don't worry so much.

You're absolutely right, madam.

By the way, where are your children?

They must be in school?

I had a daughter.

She is no more.

No more?

Yes.

My daughter, Ritu.

She was 16 years old.

She is no more.

Sorry, ma'am. Sorry.

Was she ill?

She was absolutely fine.

We were sick.

We couldn't understand
her pain and suffering.

And she took her life.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

You know,

we have a girl in our neighbourhood.

A girl in her school
took her own life too.

In Eleven Square Academy.

She drank acid.

Imagine that.

That child was none other
than my Ritu.

She drank acid and
all we could do was scream.

We could do nothing.

She died in front of our eyes.

Sorry, ma'am.

Sorry for bringing this up.

Didi...

look...

children are tender-hearted.

There's no telling what
children take offence on, and...

Even we couldn't take care
of our Ritu.

Don't say that.

Ratna, your name should be nominated
for a bravery award.

Now forget the storytelling
and play this.

We didn't understand anything
at first.

But after Ritu's death,

one of our neighbourhood kids,
Sanju, showed me her account.

Bittu is strong
because she is a girl.

If Bittu wasn't so strong,

how would you feel so secure?

I started watching her account
every day.

I would watch it every day
and remember her.

Listen, idiot.

Be it day or night, peace or chaos,

none of the tricks work

when Bittu works her charm.

One day,
I was watching Ritu's video

when he suddenly came home.

Listen, idiot.

Bittu isn't scared of anyone.

She can protect herself.

Bittu is competent,

she is strong,

and her biggest strength
is her imagination.

Understood, you fool?

Even he started watching
those videos.

He even saw her last video.

Then read the comments.

He would watch those videos
over and over again.

Something would happen to him
whenever he watched those videos.

He looked tensed.

His mind was restless.

I am proud of you, darling.

-I am proud of you.
-Mehman ji,

come back into character.

Deep,

your sister dove in very deep
and found a pearl.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

Yes, we will be there.

It's not like I am hiding anything
from you.

I said we will be there.

Yes.

Saroj!

Yes?

Hadn't I told you
not to talk to anyone?

Now they are summoning us both
to court.
