Stand by me.

I just want to ensure JJ is punished.

Become a witness.

You will get leniency.

You still don't get it.

I can fight him and blackmail him.

but I can never testify against him.

In that case, you are of no use to me.

Randeep!

It's over.

Don't f*** move!

I never intended to kill you.

I just want what's rightfully mine.

A name. Something you have always had.

What are the two of you doing?!

Niharika...

Her name is written on the power of attorney...

It doesn't matter if she signed this.

- It doesn't matter... - Stop it!

Stop it, you both!

- Mr. Jaitley. - Yes, sir.

Do you wish to have her as your lawyer?

Yes, sir.

I object, sir.

Sir, Mr. Jaitley has shared all the necessary details

of the case with Ms. Niharika's associate, Shanaya aka Akanksha Tiwari.

I think we can safely assume

Ms. Niharika Singh knows the details of this case.

It's a matter of attorney-client privilege, sir.

Sir, Shana...

Akanksha Tiwari shared no details with me.

I would fire her right this minute because...

Ms. Singh.

You think this is a joke?

You will fire her?

She was working in your firm

when privileged information was shared.

Attorney-client privilege is effective.

Mr. Jaitley has waived off his conflict.

So, you will defend this case, Ms. Niharika

or I shall cancel your license this very moment.

Tell me.

Shall I cancel it?

Bail hearing will be post lunch.

Dismissed.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

- Just hear me out, ma'am. - How much money did you take from him?

- No. - F*** off, Shanaya Akanksha

or whatever your name is!

It won't do any good, Niharika.

He hates you now.

There is nothing you can say or do right now that'll change his mind.

JJ sir wishes to see you. Alone.

You know what? F*** him and f*** you too!

Yeah, you know, we should do that.

As soon as you acquit JJ.

Hear him out first and then you can refuse.

I will defend him.

He said to tell you that he knows you sent the message.

What message?

I don't know exactly but it sounds spooky.

Oooo!

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

SK is in Meerut at this time else he would have brought you in honorably

after touching your feet.

Unfortunately Ms. Zoya is unaware of this custom.

Why me, JJ?

Each time you are in trouble, you corner me.

I will not defend you.

During the Mahabharata battle,

Lord Krishna volunteered to be Arjun's charioteer.

Arjun needed a charioteer because he was hesitant to fight.

Have you ever hesitated to fight?

Everytime you've decided to fight,

Akshay and I have borne the brunt.

I did what I did for Akshay.

Oh! Even murdering Rohini?

At least stop lying behind closed doors.

Stop acting!

You are mistaken, Niharika.

Akshay is Arjun in this case, not me.

He needs a charioteer, not me.

F*** off, JJ!

Keep your stories in your rear end.

And you know what?

You will surely go to jail.

I did not kill Randeep.

And I'm certainly not going to jail for something that I haven't done.

And I won't go to court to defend you!

No f*** way!

Sir, murder charge as per IPC 302 has been levied,

which is a nonbailable offense.

Complainant Akshay Jaitley is the eyewitness of this murder

and the Police have recorded his statement.

Ms. Niharika.

Ms. Niharika!

You haven't been able to put 2 and 2 together as yet, Niharika.

Randeep wasn't a mere servant.

- What? - Ms. Niharika!

Ms. Niharika!

Does the defense have anything to say?

Yes, sir... they have only one...

Sir, I would like to inform this court

that a dead body was found in Meerut yesterday

and I just received the confirmation

that the dead body was of deceased Randeep Kher.

The postmortem is being conducted

and the reports will be in before the next hearing.

The prosecution found a dead body and

didn't deem it necessary to inform the defense.

Sir, we had no idea Ms. Niharika Singh was defending this case,

so, who could we have informed?

They are getting the postmortem conducted

and yet they did not bother to inform the defense.

All they have is an annoyed, mentally unstable son's testimony,

nothing more than that.

Yet they are prosecuting and expect the bail plea to be rejected.

Mentally unstable?

Really?

Sir, I think my friend here has forgotten

that SI Sheikh of the Meerut Police was helping her client.

It is a fact that SI Sheikh had to be suspended to recover the body.

It is also a fact that the Delhi Police had to be sent to Meerut for recovery,

as the Meerut Police dances to Janardhan Jaitley's tune.

The prosecution is using this to mislead the defense.

I ask the court for one week's time to analyze their allegations

and the evidence they have provided.

And this is Mr. JJ's bail plea, that I wish to submit.

Sir, the charge levied is IPC 302.

I am not granting him bail, Mr. Puneet.

Ms. Niharika, one week is granted.

Thank you, sir.

Akshay...

Move!

- I know. - I don't care! Just...

You are defending JJ?

You know, I can't do this. I can't.

Was it in self-defense?

Just tell me that.

Are you recording this?

Huh?

Are you f*** recording this?

Are you wearing a wire?

Are you wearing a f*** wire?

There are no cameras, Akshay.

I... I don't know what JJ has told you.

Randeep made a statement and then he killed him!

He f*** killed him!

JJ could not have killed him.

He killed his wife! Can't kill his servant?!

Listen to your f*** self!

You know, just... just f*** off!

Just f*** off! Okay?

Just get lost!

He was the closest to me.

I didn't realize how I'd wronged him.

Everything that belonged to Akshay actually belonged

to Randeep as well.

It's just that I couldn't give it to him.

And he never demanded it.

I gave significance to everything but him.

My post, my practice, my firm.

Just to placate myself, I kept saying

I would introduce him to the world in due time

but then Politics became a barrier.

After becoming the CM I distanced him from Akshay and myself.

I did not know this distancing would lead to losing him.

- Randeep was your... - He was my son.

My flesh and blood.

How could I kill him?

I never intended to kill you.

I just want what's rightfully mine.

A name.

Something you have always had.

What are the two of you doing?!

Randeep!

Randeep!

Randeep!

Randeep!

Randeep!

Randeep!

Look here, Randeep!

What have you done?

Randeep!

Randeep!

Look here, Randeep!

Randeep!

Randeep! Randeep!

Randeep!

Randeep!

I don't know whether he killed him deliberately

or by mistake.

Neither I could not protect him,

nor could I arrange for his final rites.

One of my sons killed the other...

Did Akshay know that Randeep is his...

Anyone can fight, Niharika,

but you are the only lawyer

who will defend both of us.

You are family, Niharika.

Any other lawyer will put Akshay on the stand.

His story will fall apart within ten minutes

and he will go behind bars.

But you love him, don't you?

Your love will protect the offender

and your loyalty will protect the innocent.

Hi, aunty.

All okay?

I'm... I'm feeling scared.

I am with you.

Don't worry.

There is no fear in losing something we never had.

We'll try again.

I am in great pain, mom.

Let me go, mom.

Increase 10 mg of the morphine.

Mom!

- Give him the tablets. - Please!

Mom!

It hurts very much!

Increase 10 mg of the morphine.

Nikhil can't bear it, doctor.

It hurts very much, mom!

- It hurts very much! - Do something, doctor.

Morphine level has been maxed.

Please take them out!

Please go out.

Niharika.

Niharika.

Surely you can do something.

Niharika, please.

Please, please Niharaika

Girls this is not your college. Hurry up!

Please tell them I can't! I can't do this!

He can't bear it!

We are trying. We are trying.

Please go out.

He is unable to breathe now.

He can't breathe.

Mom, I beg you. Mom, end this.

Fluid is filled in his lungs.

Whatever life he has left, be it months or years,

he will live with this pain.

I told you so many times, let's go to Bangalore!

- You don't want to listen to me! - Please, Harish.

Mom, please!

Please!

Mom, please mom end this now... end this.

Mom, please! I am in a lot of pain!

Mom, please let me go! Please!

Niharika! Papa!

Papa, please! Papa!

I will request the court for an urgent hearing.

Maybe I'll get it within one hour.

I know there is no other way,

but are you sure?

Even if the court does open,

the chances are very slim.

This condition is not called life.

I'm sure.

- So late at night? - There is a precedent.

This happens often in emergency cases.

- Please be ready. I'll call you. - Yes.

If the court doesn't open,

- We will go to Judge Chaddha's house. - Okay.

Thank you, dear.

I'll talk to you in the morning.

What do you mean, you are asking the court to open at this time?

Roll! Roll! Roll!

Sensational news!

A gut-wrenching video of Nikhil Mehra in his hospital bed

screaming and begging this court to let him die!

Niharika Singh got the court to open in the middle of the night.

We'd heard of riot cases and government cases

but this is the first time the Delhi high court has allowed a midnight hearing

in a medical case.

- I don't know what I'm doing here. - I know.

I should have been there. That poor boy.

- The pain is unbearable. - Have you lost your mind?

I asked for the court to be opened, uncle.

Our child is screaming in pain in the hospital and we are...

How long do you intend to let him suffer in this manner, uncle.

Don't teach me what I should or shouldn't do with regards to my son!

Let it be, Mr. Harish.

She is Niharika Singh.

She does nothing for anyone but herself.

Come. Sit.

Court is in session.

So, Ms. Niharika,

why did you awaken everyone?

We were going to convene tomorrow.

Your Lordship, one day's delay means nothing to you or me,

- but Nikhil... - My Lord!

His condition is dreadful.

Each minute is nothing short of torture for him.

He is in great pain. Morphine is no longer effective on him

and all the efforts we make are futile.

Your Lordship, this video is from one hour ago.

His pain has become uncontrollable.

His screams are echoing through the ward.

Niharika, please.

You have gone beyond manipulation. I mean, even for you.

Truly, you have crossed your boundaries!

That child is on his deathbed

and you dragged his parents here to court

for a midnight hearing?

That child hardly has time left,

and you want to rob them of it?

Simply because you want a headline?

Your Lordship, he is not on his deathbed.

He can go on like this for months and years.

Silence!

Be quiet!

You twist things to manipulate them.

Nobody can live for years with this kind of pain.

- Your Lordship, these are facts. - Shut up!

I've had enough of you!

Back!

I would have rendered this verdict tomorrow

and I will say the same thing today.

This court cannot allow active euthanasia.

Please spend the remaining time

with your child, Mr. and Mrs. Mehra.

I don't know what is he going to do?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I hope you won't drag this to the Supreme court.

I understand their pain and confusion.

I've felt it firsthand.

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what, Niharika?

That I left your friend in post-op?

To recover all by herself.

Would that have made a difference?

All you wanted was a decision right here right now. That's it.

Can't you see every

f*** thing we used to hate about JJ, you've become?

I'm not JJ.

Don't stoop so low that

the only thing that remains, is to be buried.

The court can't see his pain

but surely you can see it!

The court has rendered its verdict!

We will go to Bangalore this evening!

Harish, please.

He is your son. No more clinical trials. Please!

Mom!

Help!

Niharika.

Niharika.

I cannot do this, Niharika. I cannot do this.

I can't do this.

Everything is over.

Please let me go.

Nothing is left.

We don't even trouble animals this much.

Please! Please!

Please, let me go! Please!

Dear.

Aunty, I...

I brought him into this world

and I shall bid him goodbye.

I promise. I promise.

Hush, my baby. Hush.

- Mom.

I love you a lot.

Hush.

Hush.

Mom!

Hush. Hush.

My precious baby.

Love you Maa.

I love you... love you

I will always love you.

You will always be special my baby.

You don't worry.

Hush.

Relax.

Hush. Hush.

Are you okay, ma'am?

Ma'am. Ma'am.

Please give me one chance.

About JJ sir's case...

I have an idea.

- We... - I don't have time for your guilt.

You knew I couldn't back out.

My real name is Akanksha.

I live in old Delhi.

I come from a poor family.

Somehow I managed to complete my LLB

but I couldn't bag a job just the way I was, ma'am.

I struggled a lot

and when I changed my name I got a job too.

Perhaps it was because of the name or you

but I honestly don't know how Zoya Ahmed learned of it.

She blackmailed me.

I was scared.

I really didn't want to do that to you, ma'am?

You could have told me about it if you wished

but instead, you chose to trap me.

Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Mrinialini Singh

condemned Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister and stated

that Delhi's pollution is rising because of stubble burning in UP.

Stubble burning is the cause of 32 percent of the pollution.

The pollution caused by stubble burning increased by 13 percent

this year versus last year.

The stubble burning farmers spoke to TV525.

Let's listen to their leader Madhav Chauhan.

Tell me something. Why didn't these problems occur

until the time Jaitley was the Chief Minister in the neighboring state?

This racket has begun after he left.

Farmers are only doing what they've done for years.

Something that has been practiced by his ancestors.

And there are 16 villages outside Meerut.

This tradition has been followed in all of them.

Any kind of order cannot change it.

Mr. Tandon, please proceed.

Sir, I'd like to call Mr. Janardhan Jaitley to the witness box.

Mr. Jaitley.

Exhibit NGA1987/14.

This is the CCTV footage outside of the Chief Minister's residence.

It's already on record.

Mr. Jaitley,

on the night of August 19th,

you left your residence to go somewhere. Am I right?

Meerut.

On personal business.

I didn't ask for the reason, however,

the personal business was meeting with Randeep.

No.

- Are you sure? - Sure.

Sir, for the benefit of this court,

I want two minutes to repeat

some of the important facts and evidence in connection with this case.

On the one hand, we have suspended SI Sheikh,

who attempted to misrepresent the investigation in favor of him.

Complainant Akshay Jaitley's testimony.

CCTV footage from his residence.

CCTV footage from Meerut toll plaza.

Deceased Randeep Kher's phone records.

And these bullet casings found next to Randeep Kher's dead body,

which match his licensed weapon.

The sequence of events of that night are important, sir.

Please understand the chronology.

He leaves his house at 10pm.

His car crosses Meerut toll plaza at 12am.

Randeep Kher, the deceased, and he exchange 3-4 phone calls

between midnight and 2am.

And according to the forensic report

Randeep Kher died between 1-2am.

Let's see what's on the other side.

Sir, there's nothing on the other side.

Nothing. Zero. This man has no alibi or evidence.

And lying is his trait.

It's an open and shut case, sir.

Your witness.

Sir, I have no further questions for Mr. Jaitley.

Mr. Jaitley

Opening of shutting of cases on the basis of circumstantial evidence

takes place under dictatorial rule, sir.

In future he will say someone who says long live the revolution

- should be arrested. - Objection, sir.

- Sustained. Ms. Niharika. - Withdrawn.

Sir, Randeep stole the murder weapon

from my client six months ago.

This is the FIR that I would like

to submit to you.

Now, the question that rises here is,

where did my client Janardhan Jaitley go that night?

My client is a pathological liar, so, not a reliable witness.

Careful, Ms. Niharika.

If you try to get this case thrown out, I will hold you for contempt...

Not at all, sir.

I wish to call on my next witness.

Mr. Madhav Chauhan.

Objection, sir! Undisclosed witness?

Mr. Puneet, I gave you a big leeway.

I will also allow her.

- Continue. - Thank you, sir.

Where are you from, Mr. Madhav Chauhan?

From Ajnori.

Just outside Meerut.

I am an agricultural leader.

I see. You appear on the news quite a lot these days.

Any particular reason?

I have been accused of burning stubble.

Few of my companions have been arrested.

But doesn't this stubble burning happens more

in Punjab and Haryana?

So, how come it is going on in Meerut?

Few days ago, Mr. Jaitley paid us a visit.

He told us to burn it and we did so.

He paid us three lakh rupees each.

If we are paid to burn barren land, why wouldn't a farmer do it?

Objection, sir!

Firstly, he is an undisclosed witness.

What can I ask him?

He is spinning a story.

- We have no way or knowing... - Let's hear him out.

Overruled.

Thank you, sir.

Point to be noted, sir.

My client Janardhan Jaitley went to bribe the farmers

to pressurize Lieutenant Governor.

Objection, sir! None of this is relevant to the case.

- Be quiet, Mr. Puneet. - It is relevant.

And you come to the point, Ms. Niharika.

Absolutely.

Do you recall the day on which this happened?

A report was filed at the Police station

one day after we started the fire.

So, it must be August 19th.

He came at about 12am and left at around 3-3:30am.

Point to be noted, sir.

Janardhan Jaitley visited the farmers on the night of August 19th,

to bribe them to burn stubble, not to murder Randeep.

Objection, sir. This is an unsubstantiated fairy tale.

Where is the proof?

More witnesses are present in court.

More undisclosed witnesses, sir.

I have their signed affidavits, which I wish to submit.

This is too much, sir.

You know what? If this is such a problem to you,

why don't you ask JJ sir himself under oath?

Mr. Jaitley, is it your sworn testimony that on the night of 19th August

you went to bribe Madhav Chauhan

and his companions to burn stubble?

- Nonsense! - I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.

Yes.

This is ridiculous, sir! I have never seen...

You are being ridiculous!

May I leave the stand, sir?

Do you have any further questions?

No.

Please take a seat.

Sir, he hasn't done the job of the Police and prosecution.

We had to do that as well.

I mean if he'd gone and spoken to the Meerut Police,

he would know who the criminal is,

instead he was busy trying to get poor SI Sheikh suspended.

This is yet another affidavit, sir.

Utkarsh Gupta, resident of Shyam nagar, Meerut.

He is a repeat offender.

Utkarsh has known deceased Randeep Kher for the past six months.

He borrowed 2 lakh rupees from him, which he couldn't repay.

Some of Randeep's personal belongings and the murder weapon

were recovered from him.

He isn't listening, ma'am.

Sir, here is the gun,

some of his personal belongings

and the forensic report.

Utkarsh's fingerprints and DNA are found on the gun.

It proves that he murdered Randeep.

It is no longer circumstantial. It is concrete.

It's an open and shut case, sir.

The prosecution can question him if he so wishes.

Utkarsh is here amidst us.

After due consideration of the documents, all the evidence

and the testimony of the accused

the court believes beyond reasonable doubt

that victim Randeep Kher was killed by Utkarsh Gupta with the stolen gun.

The accused, Janardhan Jaitley's presence in Meerut

on the evening of the incident is a mere coincidence.

I shall direct the Chief Prosecutor of Delhi

to look into the bribery matter against Janardhan Jaitley immediately,

which he confessed to in this court

and to take legal action against Utkarsh Gupta for murder.

Case dismissed.

Well played, mad lawyer!

Your training is complete today.

Just don't go assuming ?

that Janardhan Jaitley will silently slink into darkness.

Good luck!

Niharika!

Niharika!

First thing I want is anticipatory bail.

Niharika!

Niharika.

- Hi. - Hi.

He is actually going to jail.

Akshay, everything I did was for you.

I know. I know. I know.

I'm sorry, okay. I'm really sorry.

I... I love you.

I really do.

I love you.

I really do.

Victory to the Chief Minister!

Would you like a cigarillo?

He is a bigwig. He is habituated of cigars. Cuban.

I was born in the most notorious brothel

of the most infamous area of Meerut, Mr. Tyagi.

Cigarillos and I go way back.

As for habit, there is only a slight difference

between habit and addiction.

People who begin their lives as destitute,

they get habituated to destitution

but they don't give up trying.

I didn't either.

I struggled very hard,

tried every trick in the book,

killed the enemies, stumbled

but I never gave up my habit of being a destitute.

And now that the world has slammed me

and defeated me,

still I did not get down on my knees.

But those who have never seen destitution,

they get addicted to their dreams.

They think their dreams are unconstrained.

But when one soars too high,

they get burned by the heat of the sun and fall to the ground.

They fall so hard, they can never fly again.

Niharika Singh,

we have an arrest warrant against you.

Attempt to murder of Nikhil Mehra.

Those who have never experienced defeat,

they are unable to dig their way out of it.

That is the difference between habit and addiction.

Understand?

Yes.

She couldn't understand.

Anyway, nevermind.

Give it to me.

However, where is Ms. Niharika Singh being held?
