Mom ?

Mom !

- Good morning. - Welcome.

- Where is your father? - Inside.

- Everything is fine ? - Yes. Come in.

We have waited a long time for you. Finally, it is us who come.

What are we going to do with her?

Keep it at home.

She never lived here.

She always made fun of us.

She took Raman away from us to better lead him with a stick!

When we needed her, Madam was going out for a walk!

She wasted all her money.

She should come living off us?

If Santosh seems rude to you, teach her a lesson: she will learn.

He's a real stubborn mule! And not helpful for a penny.

She will take care of you as she did for Raman,

you will see.

As a daughter-in-law, she has rights.

Rights? This witch destroyed my son!

Look at her, with all her jewels!

She's not even in mourning!

Look at his manners!

We don't take it back an old pot that has been used.

Stay proper, ma'am!

We have accessed to all your dowry requests.

You just gave away a motorcycle, not a helicopter!

What is this for?

To give to the crows.

Attends !

Your brother will go tomorrow morning.

Let your brother do it.

It's up to the crows to eat that for the repose of Raman's soul.

I know when they are coming.

Is it this way?

The women's office is at the back.

I'm not here to file a complaint. I have an appointment.

- You are... ? -Santosh Saini.

Go sit down.

- Age ? - 28 years old.

- Father's name? - Ravi Baliyan.

Father's profession?

We have a bike shop.

- Where do you live now? - Mapur.

- At whose house? - At my parents' house.

Is it tense with the in-laws?

- Add the doctor's report. - Good, boss.

Oh yes, you did a love marriage?

That's it.

You have been married since...?

Two years.

Children?

Non.

Listen...

Raman did not serve long.

You're not going to touch almost anything.

Have you thought about the future?

Not really...

You know you're going to have to return the apartment?

How so ?

It belongs to the state.

There are families waiting.

Bring Saini's things.

Sir, I...

Is there no way?

Try to do something...

Have you ever thought about working?

I have already worked.

Homework help.

good

There is a state program for women like you:

“compassionate recruitment”.

As Raman's widow, you will inherit his position.

Tasks suitable for women.

After your training, you will be appointed peacekeeper.

- Peacekeeper? - Like Raman.

I promise you nothing, but I can make the request.

I will support your case.

Honest guys like Raman, there aren't many.

You will receive the same salary, plus the widow's pension.

On my account?

Obviously !

What a question!

Talk to your parents about it.

RAMAN SAINI

Madame,

ask him too.

Listen,

if you want us to help you, you have to tell us everything.

Tell us everything frankly.

We were friends.

- We had reports... - I see.

More...

Now he refuses to marry me.

For what ?

You should ask him.

I don't know what she's imagining.

I'm already in a relationship.

Oh yes !

- How many are there like that? - Only one.

We're just classmates. Nothing more.

I don't know what she's talking about.

Who are you talking to now?

Who asked you the question? It's me.

This is news, she doesn't know anything about it.

She's not the one who's going to save you.

What do we do now?

Should I stick article 376 on him?

Don't do that.

Madame, do what you have to do,

but he should think twice

before abusing a girl.

Listen to me, please.

But certainly.

We will listen to you. Put down your phone.

Take him away.

I tell you she's lying.

Can I go to the toilet?

Santosh.

Take her to the bathroom.

Bring him inside.

Mince.

I'll get the key. Sit down.

Sale type !

Stand up straight. This is just the beginning!

A tea.

She adopted you!

We had a servant

to walk the dog and help my wife a little.

He went home.

Priya prepared everything by herself!

Everything is fine ?

And the room?

She is fine.

It's just poorly ventilated.

Where did you live before?

Ghazaliabad.

Was your husband stationed there?

Yes, Inspector.

How did he die?

He has...

He was sent to Nehrat at the time of the riots.

And ?

Someone threw a stone at his head.

Did they arrest him?

It was a riot... It is difficult to identify the culprit.

I too was posted in Nehrat.

I was patrolling at the butchers' market.

I told them:

"Hindu women are forced to hold their noses

"It stinks so much around here!

“Get that out of my way, and fast!”

Some obeyed.

The others have tasted the baton!

How hot!

It's going to be the oven, in your room!

There is a free room next door, if you like.

With an air cooler.

You will be close to us. Like family.

- Is that okay with you? - Yes, sir. Thank you.

And in the morning you could pass help Priya from time to time.

Should I take it out?

- Where does it rub? - In front.

Don't have a toe ring? Bachelor ?

What am I getting involved in?

Tell.

I woke up, she had disappeared.

This morning ?

- Yesterday morning. - All right.

We searched everywhere with the neighbors.

Not found.

Please ?

Yes? It's for the shoemaker or the public writer?

- It's for a complaint. - GOOD.

- How much is it? - 50 rupees.

All right.

I'll be with you in 5 minutes.

And then?

- How old is she? - 15 years old.

Fifteen years old.

Follow me.

We'll see about that at the station, not on the ground in the dust.

I went there yesterday. Nobody received me.

I'll take care of it. Follow me.

God bless you.

- Chef ? - Come in.

This man's daughter has disappeared.

All right.

She is a minor. He is very worried.

Mes respects.

What's your name?

Ram Pippal.

Where do you live ?

To install Khadol.

- What neighborhood? - Bhakri, à Laalipur.

- Your caste? - To call.

- Name of the girl? -Devka.

I'm listening to you.

My daughter disappeared two days ago.

Have you looked in the fields?

Yes.

Did you look carefully? She had to go take a shit.

We have a toilet at home.

And the government is accused to do nothing for people!

Even this guy has a toilet!

Well said, boss!

Did you call 112?

There's no shame in asking the neighbors if you didn't have credit!

First, we must make a written statement,

if you want us to investigate.

I'll write up the complaint, sir.

I'll take care of it.

If you are the one writing,

afterwards he will say:

"The Inspector and the Lady wrote anything."

Ask someone.

Go see the shoemaker.

It's afternoon. He must be taking a nap.

The shoemaker is taking his nap.

It's not like us, on duty day and night!

You're right, boss.

You can go.

Come back at the end of the day. He will write your complaint.

You go.

Do as you are told. Come back later.

- Hello, Mom? - Yes, my dear.

How are you ?

- I'm fine. And you? - Yes, but I can't sleep.

And how is your work?

Is it going well?

How are you.

I'm just a little tired.

Standing !

What are you doing here?

Nothing, ma'am.

What's your name?

Sumit.

Sumit comment ?

Goyal.

Come here, Romeo!

You do 20 push-ups for me And you ask him for forgiveness.

This way, you.

Santosh !

Count the flexions.

Twenty, not one less.

I ask for forgiveness.

I ask for forgiveness.

I ask for forgiveness.

Don't stop.

You put your phone down!

Get out!

Don't stop.

Come on !

Continue.

Again.

Madame.

Don't tell my parents.

Come on, go home.

No, no, no! To the abuse of power!

- Shame on the police! - Shame on you!

We will investigate, find the culprit, send him to court and to prison.

Bring us that bastard and we will leave.

We will find him and send him to prison.

Clear the way, out of respect for the body.

No one will move from here.

Evacuate.

Send in the female agents.

May the same thing happen to your daughter!

Put them online.

Straight up.

Glue it to the other one.

- Kohli, bring the body. - Good, boss.

Where are you going? Bring back the body.

- Where was she? - In their well.

She must have slipped.

- Who fished her out? - It's their job to empty the sewers.

- It's not the same caste. - Arvind !

Yes, boss?

Take the jeep and go to the morgue.

Chef, the jeep is at the Madrabad post.

Well, you're doing fine!

Chef...

It's a bit tricky.

It would be better send a female colleague.

250 rupees.

- They didn't pay you? - This is your package.

I have no change.

Where were you?

There was no more power. We went to get some ice cream.

We have no more room.

Come back tomorrow morning.

Listen... my brother...

She's a kid.

Is there no doctor?

That's our job.

The doctor just signs.

You were the one in a hurry.

Here.

Why are you stopping? Keep zapping.

Stop.

...gathered in front of the police station,

where was exposed the corpse of Devika Pippal.

A video has been circulating, showing Inspector Thakur

in the middle of a purification ceremony on his hours of service.

See how the body of a young Dalit girl is a stain on the police!

Asked about rape followed by the murder of the high school girl,

Inspector Thakur said:

Girls want to wear jeans, have a smartphone, go out alone...

No wonder they get raped!

Yet another dubious remark Chirag Pradesh law enforcement.

Dalit leader Manu Dar announced suspend his election campaign

to meet the teenager's parents.

This treatment of Dalits is unacceptable.

There will be accountability.

Rights must be protected

and complaints, correctly recorded.

This government has blood on its hands.

He won't get away with this!

Down with the police!

Devika Pippal's Affair raises many questions.

When the investigation report will it be made public?

I know you have lots of questions.

I'll give you a full update.

Devika Pippal,

aged 14 or 15,

daughter of Ram and Rani Pippal,

agricultural workers in Laalipur.

The body was found yesterday in a well.

An autopsy was performed, whose results we are awaiting.

The cause of death is unknown.

Move over.

The police refused to take the complaint.

How to trust the investigation?

Sorry about this morning, boss.

You put on a dirty uniform. I hope it doesn't show.

Devika means "goddess".

In a country where goddesses are worshipped,

such a crime cannot go unpunished.

I'm resuming the investigation.

Thirty years ago,

I participated in the creation of the first women's brigades.

It is a social problem.

The police must reflect fairly all components of society.

Women are underrepresented there.

They need to be deployed on the ground for this to change.

That's all for today. Thank you. That's enough.

Have you met the boss?

Yes, but now, je vois le genre que c'est.

Look: she's already on her way to choose your beans!

Bring a rag! Quick!

Is this how we store evidence?

My respects, chief.

Chef ?

I'm the one who took away the body in the morgue.

That's why that my uniform was dirty.

"Cleanliness is a sacred duty", a dit Gandhi.

Put that there.

Nobody wanted to touch the body.

Why are you telling me this?

Just like that.

- Can I work? - Pardon.

- Who is it ? - My brother-in-law.

- How much did you lend him? - Around 80,000.

He knows how to borrow, but not refund.

So I took his buffalo.

To have fresh milk and ghee.

I took good care of it. Not a drop of milk!

And then?

I called the vet. He told me to massage his udder!

Preliminary way.

And then?

Nothing. That makes two big cows for me. at home.

They're sucking my money and have their breasts massaged.

The gourmands!

Approach.

- Where is the Dalit village? - Straight ahead.

Has no one been to see the well?

Were you expecting an invitation?

Go on your bike, I'll follow you.

We didn't have the opportunity: They were the ones who brought the body.

The complaint was botched.

It's because of Inspector Thakur.

Any news from him?

He was transferred to Shajapur.

Do you want to join him? It can be arranged.

Come on.

You and Santosh, you shut the well for me.

We're going to find the village chief.

Yadav ji, ruban.

Stop!

Where are you going?

I don't have the stakes!

Madam the police!

- Where are the people? - Went to get some water.

We're killing ourselves to walk to Dulhera.

- When are you going to clean it? - It's not our job.

There was a corpse inside. We have the right to clean water.

We will investigate.

As if you were investigating without a pot of wine...

What were you looking for, ma'am?

The well.

- Did you find it? - Yes.

You want to see something what did we find inside?

Come.

Is-bas.

Further away.

This way. Move forward, first.

Non !

A little further.

So.

Sir ?

What is this?

A cat.

Why is it wet?

He was in the well.

He was drafted with the kid?

They took him out before the girl.

How many days until?

A few days before.

How did he end up in the well?

A cat, does it fall, according to you?

Do you know where the Pippals live?

At the foot of the hill.

You go. We need a picture of the girl.

Am I going alone?

Is this a problem?

No, boss.

Go play outside.

And.

When did she leave?

At dawn, to look for water.

Everything is fine ?

Everything is fine. Go home.

Who was that?

A neighbor.

Was someone bothering him?

No way.

Where are his things?

- Do you know a certain Saleem? - Non.

Maybe your husband knows him?

He doesn't know any Muslims.

- What are you doing? - We are day laborers.

Do you know how to read and write?

We are illiterate. That's why that the police don't listen to us!

Are you only coming back now?

Have you had dinner?

No, boss.

We're going to eat together.

One.

Devika received a lot of text messages of a certain Saleem.

I picked up the phone.

I did well, didn't I?

What do these texts say?

The first one says:

"Hi.

"You looked great in your orange tunic."

With a smiley.

The second:

"Don't take it the wrong way."

And another:

"We can chat, right?"

And then:

"I'm going to Mumbai.

"I will bring you back an even more beautiful tunic."

Devika : smiley.

Then text from Saleem:

"I'm going to become a singer. I have an uncle in Mumbai."

Women.

Wash your hands.

One!

There's a towel there.

Devika :

"Why chat with me if you go to Mumbai?"

Saleem :

"You are a thousand times more beautiful than all the girls in Mumbai."

Devika : smiley.

Saleem : "Hello !"

No answer.

Message from Saleem:

"When is it that you return to the market?

"I have a lot of things to tell you."

No answer.

He was harassing her.

Or maybe that she couldn't answer him.

The last text was on the 23rd.

The body was found on the 26th.

Criminals know that the police find the phones.

They text after the crime.

I will trace the number.

You did a good job.

He's not here, ma'am. It's been several days.

I didn't even ask!

Where did he go?

I don't know anything about it.

Tell me where he is.

I tell you I don't know anything about it.

We work as day laborers.

We go where there is work.

Where was your son Saleem? from February 23 to 26?

At his uncle's.

His millionaire uncle in Mumbai?

Make fun of me!

Shut him up!

How old is your daughter?

Five years.

You know this atrocious affair...

à Harkatganj ?

A little girl of the same age. Raped, killed and thrown into the ditch.

It had been pushed into him bottles and tools.

The culprit was a local wizard.

But we arrived too late.

He was found dead the next day.

With the severed cock in the mouth, lollipop style.

Tempers flare quickly around here.

What father would want that for his son?

This song gives me goosebumps.

But the movie songs, it's not the truth.

The singer does his job but it pisses me off!

It comes from the heart.

But it's true that it's comedy.

We know all about comedy!

We all play the comedy: us as the suspects.

We put pressure on them. They start crying.

Real tears or crocodile tears?

Sometimes it shows.

Sometimes you have to type to find out.

Was Saleem's father lying?

We are in the middle of sowing. This is the season when they earn the most.

Who would look for work elsewhere?

And Devika's mother? Was she lying?

- Why would she lie? - For fear of dishonor.

I also talked nonsense.

The story of the wizard.

I was wrong ?

Saleem is nowhere to be found. No way to locate it.

He must have taken out his SIM card, the asshole.

Take the bag, behind.

Is that it?

Look at.

I saw you running.

You have to have the outfit.

Thank you, chief.

Auntie!

Auntie, is someone there?

Me and auntie make chapatis.

Who is there?

I'm looking for the village chief.

I'm listening to you.

It's me, the pradhan.

We are looking for a certain Saleem.

I hear he works in your fields.

Go get Ramesh.

What did he do?

Death is being investigated of the little Pippal.

I have some questions.

Are you new?

Yes.

Your name?

Peacekeeper Saini.

Viens, Ramesh.

Ramesh, do you know a worker?

Who is called Saleem?

Ansari. De Laalipur.

Yes, ma'am. I know him.

- He was working here last month? - Yes. With his father.

- Are you sure? - Yes. They left right in the middle.

What day?

I couldn't say the date.

We have about a hundred workers.

He wouldn't have left between the 23rd and the 26th? Think about it.

I told you, I don't know.

If you are finished, can i go back to work?

The road is blocked.

No disturbance of public order! Let's take the other road.

We all take the other path. Come on !

Come and see!

- What are you doing that's nice? - We're playing, can't you see it?

- What's your name? - Masood Khan.

- Where do you live ? - Right there.

Saleem Ansari, do you know him?

He's a guy from the neighborhood, you must know him.

So what?

Your friend has disappeared and you play as if nothing happened?

What did he do?

- Where did he go? - What do I know about it?

Come on, let's play!

Return the ball. All in position!

Attends ! Masood !

I have something to tell you. Come on a second.

Come on, come on!

This way.

Give me your phone.

My phone?

Give. Don't be afraid.

Hold.

I added myself to your contacts. Santosh.

All right ?

Contact me whenever you want. Even at night.

Because...

We're going to have to arrest someone. We are being put under pressure.

Do you understand?

And I don't feel like it that someone will come and save you.

OK? So now you go home and think about it.

If he told you where he was going and that it comes back to you...

you call me or you send me a WhatsApp, OK?

Come on, go play.

Go do your Shoaib Akhtar! Come on !

- What did she want? - Just give me his number.

He is in Nehrat. That's all he told me. I swear.

Delete this message. Masood.

Saleem is in Nehrat.

Info from one of his friends.

I put pressure on him. He spilled the beans.

Your colleagues doubted your abilities.

There they are fixed.

What do we do now?

Contact Nehrat Police?

Do you want to entrust the case to them?

We'll go tomorrow. In civilian clothes.

I have good contacts in Nehrat.

Is that where your husband died?

Yes.

A Muslim threw at him a stone in the head.

And we didn't stop him, right?

Non.

Sans justice, How do you want to turn the page?

Where are you?

I have an emergency. Go alone. I'll send Kohli to you.

Don't send Kohli. I'll manage.

I'm almost there. When are you coming?

It's for a personality. I have until the afternoon.

Start with Gadar Bazar, the Muslim quarter.

Okay, boss.

You still haven't told me where you are going.

The meter is running, right? So roll.

Last year's riots, where was it?

There's always some here!

A policeman was killed. Don't you remember?

Come and see.

Have you ever seen this boy? Has he been here before?

Look carefully.

- Doesn't he work in the neighborhood? - Non.

- Are you sure? - I don't know.

INSPECTOR SHARMA Appeal dismissed

Found. Maybe.

SHOBHA HOTEL

Do you want to eat something? The kitchen is going to close.

Non.

I'm not far.

Don't take your eyes off him.

You sing well.

Where are you going?

Why are you afraid?

Let me go!

You dare to touch women?

Damn.

Calm down.

Close your eyes. Inspire. Expire.

Gently.

Slowly. Don't move.

You have a pierced nose: It has to be useful!

It's your turn!

Oh yes ?

I didn't know it was filmed.

Did mom see me?

What did she say?

And grandma?

Well. At least I did. something good.

I'll call you back.

- You are at home here. - THANKS.

Are you here on business ?

I never stop!

You are on all channels. Congratulations.

Keep it up, Madam Officer.

You wanted to see us?

Bring pastries: This is their first visit.

- Where is the guy? - In the jeep.

Attends !

- Offer the boy a drink. - Good, sir.

You wanted to see us?

I was thinking...

Instead of taking him back to Machogar,

start the work here.

At the station or here, it comes to the same thing.

Mr. Prefect...

it would be better to start 24 hours in Machogar.

I've already arranged everything.

It's very late and the situation is tense.

Imagine an incident on the road.

As you wish, sir.

Inspector Sharma,

you have my complete trust.

And you, with your bravery, you will go far!

She was the one who taught me everything.

I owe him everything.

Do you like it?

Where were you? Do you have the newspaper?

I went to eat.

And we, can we die?

You could have brought something back!

Nehrat is famous for its sweets. You have to taste it.

Speak !

Why doesn't the circumcised man say anything?

Leave me!

Just questions!

Spit it out!

Why did you kill her? You could just rape her!

Stop! That's enough.

Stand up on it!

You better not move.

At the slightest movement, Govind will piss in your face.

And you will have more than licking all his piss.

She will watch you.

I'm going to take a nap.

He doesn't sit down.

Come here.

It's almost the full moon. Holi is coming.

We don't lie during this blessed period.

- How long have you known Devika? - I don't know her.

- How did you get his number? - I don't know.

You will tell that to the judge.

I swear to you.

Where were you from February 23 to 26?

In Mumbai.

The asshole!

- I'm telling the truth! - Don't take me for an idiot!

How did you know her? Speak or you'll get hurt.

How did you get his number?

I saved you a samosa.

Enjoy your food.

COME BACK SOON, MY LOVE!

Damn it!

Finished, ablutions.

Don't act like a show!

Which way is Mecca?

This way?

Where did you meet her?

At the market.

How did you get his number?

Did you buy it at the market?

She gave it to me.

Little asshole! Why did you do that?

I liked her.

Why did you flee? if you are innocent?

The police were looking for me.

Fucker! You little piece of shit!

You son of a pig!

You dare to touch girls?

Fucker!

You crushed your cigarette on his body. Did that make you hard?

How did she scream? Strong enough or not strong enough?

Why did you do that?

Did you film everything with your friends? Did you all run over him?

Why did you do that?

Fucker! Dirty pig!

Fucking shit.

Ask for forgiveness.

Ask for forgiveness!

Request !

Pick it up.

Are you going out at this time?

I can't sleep.

Come, I'll give you a pill.

What are you waiting for?

Hold.

Let's get there. We're suffocating inside.

Sit down.

He was killed.

Yes, he is dead.

That's how it is.

He raped and killed a 15-year-old girl. Then threw away his corpse.

Was it a hobby?

Was that his right?

It shouldn't keep you awake.

It happens.

Sleep and try to forget.

Take the stamp.

I can't forget.

His face...

his white teeth...

the smell of the room...

his cries... everything is engraved in my head.

But what he said, we didn't even listen to him.

Maybe he was telling the truth?

We did what we could, Santosh.

Let's assume he told the truth.

What good does this do us?

If you can't sleep alone, sleep here.

No thanks. I'll be fine.

Why chat with me? if you go to Mumbai?

You are a thousand times more beautiful than the girls of Mumbai.

Flower of the market

Kohli.

Kohli !

Santosh, come on! It's Holi!

No, I don't want to. Where is the boss?

She passed by in a whirlwind. She left something for you.

Can I watch?

Can I take one? We had almost nothing.

- The honor is yours. - Non.

Taste it! You deserved it.

By the way, What happened to Saleem?

He hanged himself.

Apparently,

it already happened once with the boss.

What a bunch of assholes!

I have a terrible headache.

They lost their son.

We have to see what they want.

We find a compromise and they shut their mouths.

Come on.

Alright. As you wish.

I'll turn on the air conditioning for you. It will pass.

Another tea.

You're not going to give them their stuff back? His phone, etc.

Don't lecture me.

You went too hard with the strap.

It will be seen in the photos.

The photos?

In the autopsy report.

When the investigators arrive,

they will cook you, you won't know where to put yourself!

Even the best crack.

They turn your head upside down in less than two!

When are they arriving?

It's like death: you never know when it might happen to you.

Hey, Pappu!

We didn't give you a bike for you to have fun.

We never see you at the station.

And there you are, showing off on your bike!

Shall we take it back from you?

No, madam. I will come.

When is that? When I'm dead?

Do you have any information?

Nothing... They found another beast in the well of the dalits.

- When? - Today.

Is that all? Nothing else?

He's getting out of here, the bastard!

- What's going on? - There's a dead dog.

Who threw it there?

The upper castes.

- Why would they do that? - To harass us.

When did this happen? Are there any witnesses?

I came to make a report, All right ?

You will tell me calmly what happened.

A report? To wipe your ass with?

- What's your problem? - It's you.

What did I do to you?

I came to help you.

As luck would have it... she's expecting a bribe!

You are deaf or are you blocked?

Always whining! Is that your thing?

Whatever we do, you are never happy!

Are you on our side now?

You don't even drink from our glasses!

Get the hell out!

Keep your investigation and go away!

Is anyone there?

Pradhan ji?

Is anyone there?

What are you doing here?

I was just watching.

What ?

I have already come.

Do you remember? You were cooking with your aunt.

Go tell him I'd like to talk to him.

Auntie went to the market.

You don't have a gun?

Non.

Did you arrest the boy?

Yes.

Weren't you scared?

A little.

Why did he kill the girl?

I don't know anything about it.

The poor thing was so cute... and she got killed.

But she was black-skinned.

How do you know that?

I saw her.

Where? Here?

Auntie came home.

Remember!

Did you give me a gift?

Nothing replaces a girl's love!

You disappear for a few hours and she falls into your arms!

I can help you ?

I'm looking for the village chief.

This is my sister-in-law.

Come in.

The tea will be ready.

You are welcome.

I already told you not to play there.

So? What's going on?

Another animal in the well of the dalits.

A dog, this time.

According to them, it would be an act of malice.

They do it themselves.

A pretext to sow discord.

We are definitely short of men, in the police.

They send a single woman.

All this for a dog in a well.

Remind me your name?

Peacekeeper Saini.

- What Saini? - Santosh.

- A guy's name. - But yes!

It is also a girl's name.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't help you.

Anything else?

Your daughter spoke to me.

We recommend Devika Pippal.

Oh yes ?

My darling.

This lady says that you spoke to him?

What did you tell him?

Tell.

You told him that...

What's the matter with you?

Kids!

And so...

Devika Pippal came here?

How so ?

There was a dead cat in their well. She was able to come here to draw water.

Meenu said he saw her.

These people do not have access to our wells.

We're not telling you anything, at the police academy?

Yet she came.

It's possible. So what?

- When? - I don't remember.

And you, Rampal?

We can't remember everything!

I forgot too.

Were you all there?

It was his birthday.

We ate cake.

He really stuffed himself!

Madam is serious.

It wasn't a birthday. He's joking.

But it's true that we partied.

Was that you?

And even so?

Was that you too?

That's what the story is.

It's famous here. We're going to have a feast.

Serve it.

What do you have?

Matar Paneer, Shahi Paneer, chilli paneer, kadai paneer...

A shahi paneer and meatballs. With chapatis, then rice.

Tell me the truth.

Stories like the wizard, were there many?

You were the one who wanted to find Saleem.

It didn't happen like that.

How, then?

You always knew where he was.

He had not "removed his SIM card". It was the same number.

I wanted you to find it alone. I knew you were capable of it.

That night, at the slightest glitch, Saleem could have escaped us.

I would have been discredited.

Did you prefer it to be me?

You have been showered with praise!

I didn't know he was innocent!

You knew it.

There are two kinds of untouchables, in this country.

The ones no one wants to touch.

And those that no one has no right to touch.

But what do you want? We serve the powerful.

Look at it this way:

in the eyes of the world, justice has been done.

This is not nothing.

An innocent man was killed!

He was made a martyr.

Thanks to his death,

men will think twice before attacking a woman.

But people have a right to the truth.

Devika's parents have the right to know.

What good would that do them?

It would ruin the life of this family. and the whole village.

What is this?

Suspension of functions.

I expected a mutation but I got this.

There is only your name.

I insisted so that you are not quoted.

You weren't even there.

Why humiliate yourself again? with a suspension?

Women are not humiliated enough like that?

What will become of you?

I don't know.

Indictment... criminal sanction...

or abandonment of proceedings.

I have friends in high places. We'll see who remembers me.

I had always thought enter politics.

There is so much to do for the cause of women.

It will be fine for you.

Sooner or later you will get promoted.

What else do you want to do?

Return to Mapur?

Going back to your parents' house and cook?

Would you be happy?

At least tell me thank you.

On many?

Look at this! The girl's haircut!

Hey, handsome!

Come closer.

Come here, Romeo!

A real bunch of junkies! And it wiggles like a good woman!

- What are you making? - Nothing, sir.

- Tell me what you're doing. - Nothing, he said!

- Are you on drugs? - No, sir.

Get the hell out or I'm going down!

Let go. Let's go to the park instead.

There's a lot of fidgeting going on over there!

People don't even hide anymore!

Get out of here or I'll confiscate the bikes!

Where is she going?

Shall we have some tea?

Bring some tea!

Is anyone there?

Your attention please.

The train to Mapur number 180056

runs with a two-hour delay.

The train to Mumbai Central will enter the station.

Your attention please.

The train to Mumbai Central number 140021

is ready to go, track number 1.

Dry cakes!

Would you like some cookies, ma'am?

- How much is it? - 10 rupees.

Can I see?

Pay, madam. Quickly!

Hurry up, ma'am.
