All language subtitles for Criminal Justice Adhura Sach S1E8

Arvind bhai,
are you having a party tonight?

-Why?
-Because you're buying vegetables.

I have never seen you buy anything
except for onions and potatoes.

I have guests at home.

Okay, fine.

Fine.

I...

have stopped drinking.

Good for you.

I was drunk

and driving the car, when...

suddenly this girl
came in front of my car...

Is the kid okay?

It was a sign.

Avantika,

I don't know
what point in life I am at.

If anything had happened
to that child...

I want to come out of this hole.

We're all standing
at a similar point,

where we're clueless about
which direction we should be going.

But...

But... I need you.

Please come back.

Oh, hi!

What a surprise.

Hi, Arvind.

You'll have dinner, won't you?

No, I am fine.

Okay, sit.

Sit, sit.

Why didn't we get
this information before?

Sir, no one had seen these posts
and comments earlier.

Neither our witnesses

nor the police officers
who handled Ritu's case.

But still,

Madhav will create
reasonable doubt in court.

That's if Madhav Mishra is the one
to present this information, sir.

Water.

Yes, yes.

I'll inform him.

What happened?

Lekha has attached the disclosure
of the social media comments

to the affidavit.

-What?
-Explain to me in Hindi.

-What?
-Nothing.

They are killing my surprise.

Mahendra will be alerted,

and my cross-questioning
will be ruined.

Lekha will ruin my entire game.

Hmm. Okay.

Who is it?

Mehman ji...

Tell me something.

Why didn't anyone come to know
about Ritu's social media account?

Because she had made
a secret account.

Really?

But...

why would anyone
make a fake account?

On social media,

there are many people
with alternate personalities.

Many people.

It's called alternate personality.

In real life, they are pretty dull,

but they sport
unique confidence online.

So one can make two-three
accounts on social media?

You can make ten if you want.

-Is it?
-Yes.

Meaning on your real account with
your real face you could be faking it

to look good.

And, on your fake account,
you could be the real you. Right?

Yes.

What a riot social media is.

Hey.

What kind of an idiot are you?

Why didn't you run away
with your lackeys?

They didn't tell me
they were running away.

I may be destined to be a criminal,

but I'm not stupid.

Ass...

But you're a solid guy.

Loyal to the guys you didn't know

a couple of months ago.

It's great.

If you weren't a diamond
from a rich family,

then maybe we could've been friends.

But you're far beyond my network.

I know a few people

in the adult jail.

I'll speak to them.

They will look after you in there.

See ya.

Ms. Lekha, good morning.

You look extremely happy.

Good morning.

I don't have a reason to be unhappy.

Of course,
you read the social media comments.

Your victory is guaranteed.

Thanks.

But that was a smart move.

What you did at the end was great.

If it is proven, it will be great.

Otherwise, it's just doubt and hate.

Ooh! Poetry.

Bravo, Madhav ji.

Have you heard of poetic justice?

Yes, I've heard and read
about every kind of justice.

The difference is
we call it only justice.

Good.

Then, let's wait and watch.

May the best lawyer win.

I beg your pardon, Lekha ji.

It's not about your victory or mine.

Justice should be the one to win.

May justice win.

Okay.

The case proceedings may begin.

Show PE 11.

Madhav ji,

are you going to show us
a film this time?

Yes, Your Honour.

Filled with mysteries,
thrills and revelations.

Dr. Varia's perspective.

Sorry, Your Honour.

I would like to call Dr. Varia
to the witness box.

Dr. Varia,
did you prescribe this inhaler?

Yes.

Why?

It's used to ease irritation
in case of a lung infection.

Meaning something like
a cough or cold.

No.

It's a special kind of abrasion.

I mean wound.

But how does this infection occur?

Abrasions like these

occur due to exposure
to acidic fumes.

I see. Acidic fumes.

Yes.

Nitric acid?

I object, Your Honour.

He is leading the witness.

Overruled.

Please answer.

It can occur
due to nitric acid fumes.

And that is probably
the cause of it.

I object, Your Honour.

The witness is expressing his opinion
and not answering the question.

Yes, because he's an expert,
and his opinion matters.

It will be better if I decided that,
Madhav ji.

Yes, sir.

Dr. Varia, whom did you prescribe
this inhaler to?

Mr. Mahendra Awasthi.

When did Mr. Mahendra Awasthi
come to you for the first time?

25th May.

Your Honour, please note.

25th May.

Four days
after the night of the murder,

Mahendra Awasthi visits
Dr. Varia's clinic

for treatment of an infection
developed due to exposure to acid.

And may it also be noted that
acid was used in Zara's murder.

Isn't this a remarkable coincidence?

And what's more remarkable is that

there's no mention of this
in the police investigation

because the police had
already chosen the culprit

before the investigation.

Thank you.

Counsel.

Dr. Varia,
can Mr. Mahendra Awasthi's condition

be caused by sulphuric acid as well?

Of course it can.

Hydrochloric acid too?

-Yes.
-And hydrofluoric acid as well?

Of course, yes.

So, it's not necessary for this reaction
to be caused only by nitric acid?

-Not necessarily.
-Okay.

Your Honour,
Mr. Awasthi's lung infection,

this reaction, can occur
by inhaling any acidic fumes.

Not necessarily the same acid
used to kill Zara Ahuja.

Mr. Awasthi has been connected to
the construction business for years.

Acid exposure is not impossible.

But I don't see any specific connect

between Mr. Mahendra Awasthi's
lung infection

and Zara Ahuja's murder.

I think this is just an example
of the defence's desperation.

I request that

you please disregard this testimony.

Thank you.

-Madhav Mishra.
-Yes.

Do you have anything to add?

Yes, Your Honour.

Just that Lekha ji is wasting
the court's precious time.

It happens because of nitric acid,
this acid or that acid.

Let's say I accept that the reaction
happens because of any common acid.

But at least a reaction,

an infection, does happen
because of exposure to acid.

If this child has used acid
in the Zara murder case,

then even he should have
experienced acid exposure.

Why didn't he develop
this infection?

He didn't even get a cough or cold!

Your Honour,
I would like to call my next witness

Saroj Awasthi to the witness box.

Granted.

Audio.

Audio.

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.

What time did he return that day?

Same time, 10:00 p.m.

In fact,
we even had dinner together.

Is this your voice?

Yes, but that day I told you

-the wrong time out of confusion.
-Your Honour, please note.

The witness is answering
before a question has been asked

because she has probably been made
to rehearse everything.

Please answer
only the questions asked.

Yes.

So, your husband

returned home that night
at 10:00 p.m.?

Yes?

No.

-Did he not return at all, or--
-Objection, Your Honour,

He is leading the witness.

What leading, Your Honour?

She herself claims
that she is confused.

I am just helping her out.

No, you're not helping her.

In fact, you're confusing her
even more.

She might be confused
about the timing,

but who said
he didn't return at all?

Are you telling me this or
are you hinting at her as to what to say?

Counsels,

stop fighting like children!

Your Honour, if we track Mahendra
Awasthi's phone's GPS location,

then I'm sure we'll come to know
everything: what time he came home;

if he didn't come, where he was.
We'll come to know everything.

We can order this investigation

only when reasonable doubt
on Mr. Awasthi is proven.

So move on.

Yes.

Show the social media post.

See, Mrs. Saroj,

can you read the date of this post?

4th December.

And when did
your child commit suicide?

10th December.

How did she commit suicide?

I'm asking
how she committed suicide.

By drinking acid.

Order in the court, please!

Very sad.

It is said that the family
of those who commit suicide

can never emerge from that incident.

They are filled with grief,

regret and anger.

Your Honour,
he is leading the witness.

Sustained.

Fine, I won't tell you.

You tell us.

What was your mental condition
after your child committed suicide?

Our daughter was no more.

We were in a lot of grief.

If the grief is intense,

then one can become angry.

Did you get angry too?

Yes.

Did you feel
this was unfair to your child?

Yes.

Then you must have felt
that you want justice,

even if you had to get it yourself.

Your Honour, this is too much.

Mishra ji, how far
are you going to stretch this?

The second post.

Show that comment.

See that. It's a comment
by Zara on Ritu's post.

When did you see it?

When she showed it to me.

Inspector Gauri.

You were unaware before that?

You hadn't seen these before that?

No.

How did you feel
after reading all that?

How cruel people can be.

Is that all?

Careful, Mishra ji.

You're speaking
on a very delicate topic.

Yes.

Did your child, Ritu, have friends?

-Yes.
-Who are they?

Kids living in the same society.

Sonal, Riti,

Sanju.

How old are these friends?

What must their ages be?

Around 10-12 years.

And your daughter Ritu's age
was 16.

It was 16, wasn't it?

Yes, but...

But didn't she have
any friends her own age?

She was a bit different.

She kept to herself.
That's why she and younger kids--

Was your child's mental condition...

I mean,
were her screws loose up here?

Don't answer that, Mrs. Awasthi!

Mishra ji, I will not allow
that language in my court.

Sorry, Your Honour.
I will reframe my question.

Were you worried about

your child's mental condition
or not?

My child, Ritu, was

a normal child according to her age.

She didn't have
any mental condition

or anything like you're saying.

She had no such thing.

-Was she a completely normal child?
-Yes.

A 16-year-old child is obsessed with
a 10-year-old character Bittu.

Why was she so obsessed with Bittu?

Anyone can be a fan of anyone.

And Ritu adored Bittu.

So you want to say that your child,
Ritu, was completely normal.

And one day she suddenly
committed suicide by drinking acid

and didn't even leave
a suicide note behind?

And what about you two?

You two did not even try to
find out what the problem is?

What kind of parents are you?

I object, Your Honour.

The defence counsel is trying
to emotionally hurt the witness.

Your emotions are getting hurt,
not the witness'.

She is looking absolutely normal
to me.

You're sad,

because she isn't giving
the answers you rehearsed with her.

Your Honour,
suicide is a delicate topic.

The parents may not have
emerged from the trauma yet.

Why do you keep reminding them
over and over again?

You're triggering them.

Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, APP ma'am.

Thank you very much.
You just used the word "trigger."

I was coming to that.

Your Honour, "trigger."

This is a very popular word
these days.

In connection to
children's mental health,

about which society knows little
and isn't too aware.

It has a very important aspect.

Getting triggered.

And people who suffer from anxiety
and depression are easily triggered,

and do something

that you or I can never imagine.

Your Honour, in this case, Ritu,

who hid her real identity
and was exploring herself online

under a fake identity,

wanted to impress Zara.

And suddenly, one day,
she was emotionally very hurt.

Many of Zara's fans

started brutally trolling Ritu
day and night.

And the sad thing is that
even Zara made fun of Ritu.

Just like Mrs. Awasthi was getting
triggered by my statements,

as stated by Lekha ji, not me.

Now, Your Honour,

think how powerful the trigger
of social media can be,

especially when Zara's finger
is on the trigger.

That's why Ritu's parents

had a strong motive to
harbour hatred against Zara.

And I've already established
the means

in my statement
about the lung infection.

So, Your Honour,

does this still not raise
reasonable doubt

when we have another suspect here

with better means and motive?

Was this your closing speech,

or would you like to present
any other witness?

No, Your Honour,
I do have another witness.

Any cross-examination, counsel?

No, Your Honour,
my mental health expert colleague

has already defiled
the victim's memories.

I...

don't want to make her mother
sadder by asking any more questions.

Next witness, please.

And, Mishra ji.

I hope this time
it's something substantial.

And not long speeches like earlier.

Yes, Your Honour.

Even I get tired
of speaking so much.

My next witness
is Mr. Mahendra Awasthi.

I would like to call him.

So, Mahendra ji,

your daughter killed herself
by drinking acid.

-Yes.
-Last year on 10th December.

Yes.

And until a week ago,

you had no clue
about her social media posts,

comments, et cetera.

No.

Have you ever wondered
why she committed suicide?

Many times. All the time.

That's a lie!

Stop pretending!

You know the cause of Ritu's death!

If Zara hadn't made fun of her,

Zara's fans
wouldn't be trolling her!

-Objection, Your Honour.
-Sustained.

It was nothing like that.

We're ordinary people,
but even our daughter was a victim.

You're speaking ill
about both the victims.

Maybe you should let
sleeping dogs lie.

So, you believe
this is not Zara's fault.

Not at all.

Okay, so, before December,
did you ever feel

that your daughter had any
mental pressure or mental issues?

No.

She was absolutely normal.

Then it must have raised
questions in your mind

when she took such a step.

Every day.

But I never understood why.

There are some children
who are quiet

and like to keep to themselves.

But not all of them commit suicide.

So, last week,
when SI Gauri showed you

the social media posts and comments
and when you read these comments,

you must have understood
her reason to commit suicide.

Your Honour, SI Gauri showed him
the posts and comments only last week.

The murder was committed months ago.

How is there any relevance?

I don't understand
this line of questioning at all.

Mishra ji, if you have any proof,
then show it now.

Fine, Your Honour.

So, when you reached home
after meeting SI Gauri,

you must have read this post

and the other posts as well.

It was such a big revelation
about your child.

-Did you read it or not?
-No.

What was the point?

Bring up the picture.

Please look at this picture,
Mahendra ji.

This is Ritu's classmate.

She was also connected
to the Zara fan page.

Have you ever met her?

Yes.

After Ritu's demise, I also went
to her school with the police.

To question the other kids.

But we didn't find out
anything substantial.

Not after meeting this child too.

-What was her name--
-Angel.

What?

Angel.

Yes, tell us.

She also didn't tell me
anything substantial

Not even about the video.

Had you seen Angel's
social media profile earlier?

No.

No?

No.

Your Honour, point to be noted.

This girl, Angel, was your daughter
Ritu's friend on social media.

And you hadn't seen Angel's
social media profile either.

Then how do you know

Parineeta's secret name is Angel?

Your Honour,

this girl, Parineeta,
was his daughter's friend.

And just like his daughter, Ritu,

she had a secret profile

where her name was Angel.

So he could never have met Angel.

In fact, there is no girl
called Angel, My Lord.

Your Honour, I keep repeating that

this man and his wife
are lying on this witness stand.

They are lying through their teeth.

They are committing perjury.

And they are completely beyond
the police's investigation.

Madhav ji,
maybe I had seen Angel's...

Parineeta's profile.

"Maybe"?

Mahendra ji,
maybe you saw it or you didn't,

maybe you came there that night
or you didn't,

maybe your daughter
was mentally ill or she wasn't!

-Did you kill Zara or not?
-I object, Your Honour!

I ask again, Mahendra ji, yes or no?

I object.

Stop it!

There's no point now.

Don't lie anymore.

Because they know everything.

I told her about the posts that day.

Mrs. Awasthi, please do not speak
out of turn like this.

Yes, but please don't
send him to jail, Your Honour.

Please sit down.

-I beg you.
-Please sit down.

Please control her.

Don't speak out of turn. Calm down.

Mr. Awasthi, your wife has accepted
she was lying when speaking here.

And you've also been standing here
and lying all along.

Was your daughter also a liar
like the two of you?

Was your daughter a liar?

Did she commit suicide
to hide some secret?

And now you aren't telling us
the truth either.

Was your daughter
mentally ill or not?

Or was it entirely Zara's fault?

It was Zara's fault!

She admitted it herself!

"I made a mistake.
I am sorry, uncle."

She was saying,

"I can imagine
how she must have felt."

Even she would lisp sometimes.

"Issecurity... isstrong."

I made her say it. Many times!

She couldn't say it
properly herself,

and that girl was making fun
of my Ritu.

Children like Zara
don't think even once

how they might hurt others!

There are many children
who can't equal them.

In fame, fortune or looks.

So aren't they human beings?

Even I told her,

"Don't imagine it, feel it."

She was very arrogant
about her beauty.

I destroyed the very face

that killed my daughter.

Mahendra!

Neeraj!

You bloody murderer!

-He killed my daughter.
-Calm down.

-He killed my daughter.
-Calm down.

-He killed my Zara.
-Calm down.

Please maintain order in the court.

He used me...

Calm down.

I had set up the bungalow
for them myself.

And made sure
the back door couldn't be locked.

A week ago, I bought acid,

poured it in a can and hid it
in the unfinished bungalow.

At around 11 o'clock,
I left the complex.

I parked my car nearby and waited.

I thought

I'll wait till late at night,

find an opportunity to subdue her
and bring her to the bungalow.

There are no CCTV cameras
towards the beach.

My plan was set.

I waited for them to fall asleep.

At around 12 o'clock, a car arrived

and Zara left in it.

My entire plan
was about to be ruined.

A little later,
I saw Mukul coming out.

I waited there.

Then at around 2 a.m.,
Mukul's car returned.

But instead of going
to the bungalow,

they headed towards the beach.

I followed them.

I saw her on the beach from afar.

She looked high.

They stayed there
for about 30 minutes.

Seemed like
they were having a fight.

Later, Mukul left Zara
on the beach and drove away.

Seeing Zara alone on the beach

made me realise that it was destiny
for Ritu to be avenged.

Zara had to die.

"Lishten, idiot.

"Bittu ishn't isscared of anyone.

"See can protect hershelf.

"Bittu ish competent,

"see is shtrong,

"and her biggesht shtrength ish

"her imaginassion.

"Undershtood, idiot?"

Say it.

No, please let me go.

Sorry.

Sorry...

Uncle, please let me go.

Say it.

No.

Say it!

Listen...

Bittu isn't scared of anyone.

Bittu is competent,

she is strong...

Sorry, uncle, please let me go.

I haven't done anything.

Leave me. Sorry.

Yes...

sorry.

Please let me go.

Shouldn't you have said that
to my daughter?

Why me?

Please let me go.

Uncle... no...

Uncle, I am sorry...

-You have to pay the price.
-Sorry, uncle.

Uncle, no!

Uncle, what are you doing?

Uncle, what are you doing?

Uncle, please...
No, no, no, no, no.

Uncle, no...

Under Section 319 of
the Indian Evidence Act,

I order the police to take
Mahender Awasthi into custody.

I order that the charges
against Mukul Ahuja

by the Public Prosecutor's Office

under Section 15 of the JJ Act 2015,

Section 302 and Section 364
of the Indian Penal Code

should be dropped.

And I also give orders
to charge Mahender Awasthi

within 60 days.

Madhav ji.

Hmm?

Congratulations.

Congratulations to you as well.

Justice has won.

Thanks to you.

Thanks for everything, Papa.

Hey.

I think
life has given me another chance

to stand by my family,

to connect with you.

Anyway, you should thank
only your mom.

She loves you.

I love you.

Thank you.

I guess now someone else needs
his family and their support.

Bye.

Bye, see you.

[holy chants in Sanskrit]

Hello, Madhav ji.

-What's up, bro?
-Looking fab, bro.

Thanks, bro.

Wow, you're looking good.

I thought
you have forgotten all about us.

I can never forget you.

Thanks.

For everything.

If it wasn't for you,

maybe I wouldn't be here today.

-Next time--
-"Next time." No, no, just...

Next time, don't judge someone
by his shoes and clothes.

You see, only the mechanic
rolling in dirt and grease

knows an expensive car's engine,

not the owner.

True.

Did you order anything?

I am starving.

No, no, we ate before leaving home.

Ate what? We only drank tea.

It has to be your treat, Madhav ji.

My treat?

Waiter!

Come on.

Show me the cheque too, Mehman ji.

Wait. Not yet.

Be quiet. Look, son...

we aren't going to squander away
this amount.

We have to get our own office.

You don't get a place in Mumbai;
you've got to make it yourself.

You're absolutely right.

But tell me, will my cabin
be in front of yours or on the side?

You'll be sitting down on a mat.

You're back.

Come, I want to show you something.

-Even I want to show you something.
-What?

You first, then me.

-Okay. Come on.
-Come on.

The place belongs to an uncle
of my client.

-So she got it for me for cheap.
-I see.

This is my new parlour.

I'll get a small business loan
and pay the deposit.

-And the rest in small instalments.
-Great.

-How do you like it?
-Very nice.

Then say something,
you're just smiling.

Time to see my surprise.

Oh, yes.

This includes your one year's rent
and deposit. All of it.

Thank you.

Make him a genius too.

Hey! What's going on?

Combing my hair.

Combing your hair with a shoe brush?

No, it's a hand brush.

Oh, okay

You talk nonsense.

Let's arrange a veneration first.

Yes.
