Madam, the house robbery case has been verified.
The report file has been sent to your station.
-Whom have you given it to? -I'll check, Madam.
To whom have you given it to?
We've given it to the Head Constable, Madam
Bro. You don't call
Sir, it was a mistake please give it back, we’re sorry
Is it your father's road? You guys have caused a traffic jam!
Pay the fine, then take your musical instruments.
Who is he? Did you smoke weed?
Sir, please spare us. We don't have money. We were playing for a good cause.
What happened?
They created a traffic jam at the circle with their orchestra.
Let them go...
Sir, it is a Rock band not an orchestra!.
Whatever it is. You created a traffic jam and now you're giving excuses.
What is the status of your robbery case?
Sir, that's not my case!. I’m just filing reports for a case handled by someone else.
The verified file just came in sir.
What is this?
You're asking time for reporting such a small robbery case?
First learn to be on time.
How does it matter what time I come, if all I'm doing is filing reports.
What? Despite coming in late, you are also justifying it.
Sir please assign me a case to solve.
Fine!
First, finish this case…
Then, let’s see.
Hello sir. Come in, come in
Crowd Chattering
Madam, sir has called you
You kept asking for a case right?
A suicide case was reported last night
Take it. Address is there…
Listen
This is just your first case. Don’t try to act smart.
Multiple suicide cases are reported on a daily basis.
Each and every case cannot be investigated.
Identify the victim and hand over the body to the family.
Song playing
-Check if this key fits anywhere in the house -Ok, Madam
Coming, madam!
What happened?
Madam, this key doesn't fit any of the doors or cupboards
Umm, Okay
Inform the forensics and get the post mortem done ASAP.
There's a chewing gum stuck on that chair. Get that checked too.
Okay madam
Are you the one who witnessed it?
What madam?
Madam, he doesn't know Kannada …
Were you the first one to witness it?
No madam. The night watchman was the first one to see it.
How many houses have been occupied on this floor?
Madam, there are no occupants on this floor yet.
However, in many of the houses, carpentry and painting work is going on…
Then, who is this? is he the house owner?
I don't know madam. You need to ask the security chief
Collect all the footages from the surveillance camera
Okay madam
Collect the flat owner's details from the manager.
Okay madam
And you also mentioned the night watchman right ?
Get him along with the security chief to the station.
Okay, madam
Walky talky announcement
Come in
He's the apartment manager
Hello, madam
Sit down
Madam, this is the night watchman.
Tell madam what happened
Madam, it was around 12 at night…
And, it was time for my daily rounds…
As it was new moon that day ..
It was although more scarier….
However, I was left with no choice, so I had to go.
While I was passing by the house on the sixth floor, there was a foul smell.
I knocked on the door, in order to find out what was wrong, but nobody answered.
However, I opened the door with the keys I had…
There was also a power cut..
So I was terrified.
I switched on my torch and went inside
I was taken aback to see a man hanging from the fan
After witnessing it, I was so petrified that I got a fever.
Even now I am sick, you can check for yourself madam.
Sorry, Madam
I removed the computer cable
Assuming that the surveillance camera wouldn’t record anything.
I spent my childhood in a colony where there only one house which had a TV
Since then I was crazy about watching TV.
Every Sunday at 6 P.M there was a program which was telecasted,
For which everyone used to line up right from 4 P.M.
No matter how hard I tried to get done with my work
It would end latest only by 5:30 P.M.
Even if all I wanted was to find a spot by the window,
people used to shoo me away…
Do you know why?
Because, I was just a small boy.
That's why they would shoo me away…
That is when I thought,
That one day, I would sit in my house, on my couch, watch TV with my legs crossed.
But that never happened.
Even today I sit on the floor and watch TV
At this age, I only earn ₹ 10,000.
With which I have to run the house, send the kids to school etc..
Tell me madam, how is it feasible?
I know I have failed.
In such desperate times,
to turn my dream into reality
I used to secretly indulge in watching TV in a few houses of the apartment.
But, I did not steal a single penny from any of the houses.
I swear on my children
I didn't do anything madam
Sir please explain them
I have not done anything wrong, madam.
At least you tell them, Sir…
I have not done anything
It's alright, come with me.
I have not done anything
Hold on, sir !
-Please believe me. I didn't do anything.
Go, sit in that corner.
Madam, in many of the houses in the apartment
Painting and carpentry work is still going on
The work is still in progress
But, many potential buyers keep coming in to check the houses,
So, we have given a set of keys to the security guards.
They have the keys at all times
They go on routine rounds at 6 pm to check,
Then the night watchmen also go on rounds to check
But, I am uncertain as to why he would indulge in such an act…
Madam, it's only been 2 days since we installed the surveillance cameras.
We've already handed over all those footage.
If required, we can you give you the register as well.
Madam, the flat owner’s details are in this file.
But, he stays in Canada
He bought this house 6 months ago.
I don't think the guy who died here is the owner
On a call
Can we leave, madam?
Yes, you may.
This is definitely a homicide.
He only must've done it.
Did you not observe the chair fallen next to the body?
What happened to the orchestra boys?
One of the boy's father paid money and bailed them out madam.
What is it?
I have a doubt on the watchman from the suicide case.
We have taken him under our custody.
Why unnecessarily?
Okay
Put him in the lock up for two days and release him.
Also, have you identified the body?
It's happening, sir.
First get that completed
I'll do it, sir
Did you find anything?
We have analysed the body. Looks like a suicide to me.
Time of death should be about 2-3 days ago. I am not sure.
Will know for sure once the post mortem comes in.
When will the postmortem be done?
It'll be done soon
We have recovered the victim’s phone and wallet and sent it to your station.
Collect the owner details. We'll go check the address.
Also, get the call recordings
Okay, Madam
Tell me, ma
What do you have to do?
You just have to sit in one place and report files, that is all.
Who? Me?
Shut up
I have to do everything alone
The sim is registered on this address.
But, the house is locked
-Did you enquire with the neighbors? -Yes Madam
Nobody even knew that his name is Prashanth.
he was a tenant in this house.
Okay, ask around
Ill check there
It's the 1st floor, Madam
1st floor? Okay, give.
You can go
Okay madam
Sorry, tell me, Ma
I was telling you something seriously and you put me on hold
Do you know how hard it is to find a good tailor?
Sorry, my mistake. Tell me.
Do you know how difficult it is to run a boutique?
Try to fit in my shoes for a day. I have to buy the clothes, stitch them and also deliver them on time.
Do you think it is an easy job?
The one tailor I had also quit. That, now I have to do all the tailoring as well.
How much work can I do?
I need to find a good tailor. Do you know how hard it is to find a good tailor these days?
Your uncle is coming over for dinner tonight. I have so much cooking to do. You just--
Coming, Madam!
Where is that key we found at the apartment today?
Sorry Madam. Forgot I had it with me
What is this Madam? So many Adhaar Cards!
-Something is fishy, isn't it? -Yes Madam
Look here. It says Kolar District
Check this address out
-We might get some lead. -Okay Madam
Kiran, 1 minute
I’m sending you a victim’s photo. His name is Prashant
Check if there are any criminal records in his name
Who are you?
You've broken into the house.
I’ll call the police!
Who are you ?
I’m the owner of this house
Do you have a rental agreement with the tenant?
Have you done a background verification?
Get all these documents to the station today
Otherwise, your house will be seized.
Madam, I’ve checked the entire database
Prashanth's photo is not matching with any of our records.
Prashanth also has no criminal record against his name.
Did you check the Adhaar cards that were given? Are they valid?
Yes. They're all valid.
Did you notice what's common here?
What?
All these Adhaar card holders
..reside in Old-Town' s slum.
I'll go there immediately to collect it
The water tankers are so expensive …
We get free water only once a week, how do we manage the rest of the days…
Crowd Chattering
- What's up? - Nothing much.
Remember, Today’s drinks are on you…
Today, you are not getting away with it!.
Yes, dear. I just had my lunch.
Okay, I will see you soon.
Do you know where Sita's house is?
Oh! Sita.. Her house is right here. I'll take you.
By the way, why do you want to meet her? Who are you?
- I need to talk to her. - Oh, is it?
This is her house.
Sita-Sister?
Wait up, she'll come
Yes, coming!
Why are you shouting?
She wanted to see you, so I got her here.
Why? Who are you?
What do you want?
-Do you have your Adhaar card? -Yeah, I have it.
Can you please get it?
I'll get it.
How much will you pay?
-How much did they give you last time? -1,000 Rupees.
Okay, get it.
Okay, wait. I'll get it.
What is this?
Last time you paid all of us. Why only for her now?
Wait, I’ll get mine too.
Lakshmi, Suba-Sister, go and get your Aadhaar cards
They've come to pay again.
Go on, quick! Get it fast.
Wait! I'll also come.
You come as well
Go call your brother.
Here's my Adhaar card.
Take it.
Give me the money.
Here it is
Then who’s Aadhaar card is this ?
This is mine
How did you get it?
How did I get it?
To whom have you given your Aadhaar cards to?
I don't know about that
He promised to pay 1000 Rupees, so I gave.
He took it and then returned it.
What will I do with it?
Is he the one who paid you?
He's the one!
- Oh yeah - It's him
With the money we got last time, we got a water tanker.
Madam! Are you giving us the money or not?
The guy in the photo
How do you know him?
We don't know all of that…
All we cared was he gave us money. Are you giving or not?
I've left my work & come.
Give us the money, soon
You say you don't know him
So how can you give your documents to a stranger?
Yes. Even I've left work and come. Give us the money and we'll leave.
I'm not paying any money
Keep your documents safe with you. Do not give it to anyone.
What the?
You said you'd pay us money, and now you're just wasting our time.
Come on, lets leave
Instead of completing your homework, you're playing?
I'm not playing. Math is hard but this is harder.
If I solve this, I can solve math easily.
You were asking about some guy, who took the Aadhaar cards, right?
Yes. Do you know him?
I don't know him. But I've seen him with Kunta
Kunta? Who is he? Do you know where he is?
I don't know.
That dude over there might know
This dude?
Do you know where Kunta is?
Kunta?
He'll be sloshed in some bar. Why?
Can you take me there?
Madam, let me check if he is there.
Madam, Kunta isn't there. But his drinking buddy is.
Who is he?
The only lone old drunkard over there..
You know Kunta, right?
Not really… We just drink together.
Where is Kunta now?
He should be here, any minute.
He'll be here.
Can you call him and find out when he’ll come?
He has a million phone numbers.
How am I supposed to know which number to call on?
What does he do?
He is currently jobless. However, he wasn’t doing anything legitimate.
What was he doing?
Weed, Shoe-Polish, Brown-Sugar
Even worse, He used to sell spiked ice cream to school kids.
Is he still into it? He was just the peddler..
His Boss has stopped all such activities. So he doesn't have any job.
Who's his boss?
Take a wild guess…
Crowd chattering in a bar
Munirathna. This bar's owner.
Utter another word, you'll lose your tongue.
You go on.
Try speaking now, I dare you.
Tell me
What was the boss involved in?
If you open your mouth, you'll not leave this place.
Tell me
Dude!
I don't think they get it. Let's show them.
Bro
You're going first this time too?
Guru Brahma, Guru Devo, Guru Vishnu, Maheshwara!
In everything Guru is always first, bro.
Now speak
-Is this where you make a lady sit? -Sir, that..
Shut up! Do you have any sense?
Listen, if you want to enquire about me, ask me. I'll answer.
Don't come here unnecessarily
I've changed for the good. I've filed my nomination for the upcoming elections.
I want to do some good to the society.
This is the only bar I run. A lot of shady things goes down in other bars.
Instead, you are here...
He is Kunta. Ask him anything you want.
You know Prashant, right?
Don't you recognize him?
Look, women shouldn't be here.
If there's anything, I'll let you know. Now, please leave.
Have a closer look .. and tell me.
I ain’t going to forget your face.
I will find out who Prashant is and what he does
If I discover any connection between the two of you…
Have you realised what you've done?
I'm getting calls from another jurisdiction.
You created a ruckus at some bar today!
Before going to another jurisdiction for investigation
Don't you have the common sense to inform their Police Station?
Has the body been identified?
Complete that first.
You get some Adhaar cards and wander off to some bar!
Brother
Enough!
Hey, no no. I have to get home.
I've told my wife that I'll be back. She's angry that I'm not there.
If I don't go home tonight, she'll kill me.
Indra, I'm going to bed. Don't let your uncle drink too much.
Okay. You go sleep now. I'll leave after this game.
So, how's retired life treating you?
What else do you expect?
You tell me.
Your career is just starting.
I've got my first case.
But?
If it was a murder, there would have been a motive.
But I don't understand why would someone commit suicide?
Isn't it cowardice?
One cannot just say that
He would make everyone laugh
He had everything, so why?
On a personal note
I knew someone
He seemed to be a very happy man
He spoke happily that night.
But by morning he was gone.
But why?
Only he knows why.
Only they know what's bothering them inside
Their trouble might seem petty to us
but it may be a big deal for them.
Each person and their personalities
Why? How? Who knows?
Only they can understand
The way you cornered me
reminds me of my brother.
Your father.
Wasn’t he the one who taught you to play Chess?
He wished to join the Military, as well?
Since I was older, I joined the military first.
Our mother didn't want both her sons joining the military.
That's why he wasn't allowed to go.
If he saw you now, he'd be very proud.
No dear. I have to leave.
Enough. I have to go home.
Listen
Whatever case comes your way,
don't break your head over it.
- How do you know Prashant? - Which Prashant?
You have purchased an apartment with Gupta Builders, right?
- Yeah! - Prashant has committed suicide in it.
What? In my flat?
Prashant? Oh yes. He's the agent who got me the flat.
He was looking after the painting and interiors for the flat.
Did Prashant work with Gupta Builders?
Maybe
Do you know anything else about Prashant?
He got in touch when I put up a post wanting to buy a flat.
During my previous visit, I purchased the flat.
What happened in Kolar?
I met Prashant's family, Madam.
They're innocent. He's the only, working member in the family.
But they don't know what kind of work he does.
He sends them money every month, on time.
Did you inform Prashant's family, about what happened to him?
Not yet, Madam
Its been 10 days since they spoke to him.
They even tried reaching out, To his friend friend.. Madhu?
No, Mani!
They tried calling him too. But they couldn't reach him.
Okay, inform Prashant's family and dispose his body.
- Alright Madam. -You mentioned someone named Mani
- Yes Madam. - Enquire about him
Also, interrogate the painters at Gupta Builders.
Okay, Madam
-There's no one named Prashant working here. -Is there any other branch?
If Prashant is not your employee, how can he sell your flats?
I don't know, Ma'am
Can you show this photo to your employees?
Please check
-Can you check if anyone knows him? -Okay, Madam.
Ma'am I know him.
Where have you seen him? How do you know him?
I don't know him personally, But I've seen him in the office.
Are you sure its him?
I remember it clearly.
When I was getting coffee, he was at the reception.
He took the gum from his mouth, and tried sticking it under the seat.
I got angry and shouted at him.
Then he threw the gum into the dustbin.
The receptionist said that he had come to see the boss.
But what he did was wrong, wasn't it?
The Receptionist remembers it as well.
Let's go ask her
- Okay - Come Ma'am
- Is your boss Gupta, here? - Sorry, he's not here.
- When will he come? - I don't know, Madam.
- Can you give his contact details? - I don't have it, Madam.
Prashant's body has been disposed.
But, we haven't received any information on Mani, yet.
We asked Prashant's parents about Mani.
They claim to have never seen him.
But they've spoken to him over Phone.
Try harder, Kiran. We'll find something.
Also, those Painters? Have you enquired with them?
They've only painted one layer.
Prashant had asked them to come and paint the next layer.
I called the house owner, where Prashant committed suicide.
He says that
Prashant got him the house
But
Prashant's name isn't there on Gupta Builder's employee list.
But, Prashant has met Mr. Gupta.
And that, I don't understand why
And we're not getting any further information about Gupta.
We must find this. I'll Inform the inspector.
Ok madam
Has the body been disposed?
All the formalities have been taken care of.
You can leave now.
Sir, the thing is...
I need permission to meet Mr.Gupta, the owner of Gupta Builders.
Why do you want to meet him?
Sir, Prashant has met Mr Gupta.
If we meet him, we'll get some clarity
Is Mr.Gupta the only person Prashant has met?
He meets thousands of people.
Tell me, why do you have to meet him in specific?
True, sir.
As far as we know,
Mr Gupta is the only who Prashant met
if we meet him once,
all the confusion will be cleared, sir.
Look, these real-estate Businessmen,
have contacts, with influential politicians.
Tomorrow if something goes wrong,
I don't want, to be blamed.
You may leave now
Please wait
I found out where Gupta lives.
- What do you want? - I want to meet Mr. Gupta.
- Who are you? - Indra from Crime Branch.
Kiran, talk to him.
- We might get some information. - Okay Madam.
-You can go inside, Madam
What are you doing?
Please sit.
Tell me What did want to talk about?
I wanted to talk about, your employee, Prashant.
Prashant? Which Prashant?
The one who committed suicide in one of your flats two days ago
That Prashant
Was his name Prashant?
If he was my employee, I should know of him, right?
If Prashant isn't your employee, then how can he sell your flats?
Do you have any photo of him?
Him?
He sold flats for commission.
He came to my office to collect his commission.
Why did he commit suicide?
Only he knows why
It's been 3 days
Someone's crying isn't it?
I'll call you later.
Who are you?
Police?
Yes.
Please relax
You're playing with our daughter's life!
I know how to save my daughter.
No
Please relax. Its nothing!
- Kiran, inform the Inspector. - Okay, Madam.
- Also, ask him not to come in uniform. - Okay, madam.
Yes. My daughter has been kidnapped.
Its been 5 days.
What is it? Ransom?
We don't know yet, Sir.
Sir, When things got serious
Why didn't you inform, the Police immediately?
5 days ago,
I got a phone call.
The caller said that he has kidnapped my daughter
And then cut the call.
I didn't know what to do
I thought I'll call my husband and picked up my phone.
Immediately, I got another call.
He said, he wanted money.
But where, when and how much
He didn't mention any of that
He mentioned not to go to the Police.
And after that
He didn't call for 2 days.
On the third day he called
and asked If we had informed the Police
I said no.
And then
He called yesterday
and said that he wanted money.
When, where and how much, I'll tell later
and then cut the call.
When he called the first time
There was a girl crying, behind him.
I could hear her crying loudly.
Now tell me
If you were in my place,
would you have informed the Police?
Let him ask for any amount
We understand, Sir.
Do not worry, We are with you.
We will take care of it.
It doesn't feel right.
First, let my daughter come home.
They have asked us not to go the Police.
Which is why we've sent away all our house workers
Sir, until your daughter is back
We won't take any action. We'll be with you.
We'll help you in any way we can.
Madam, you asked for someone from the Telecom Department.
This is him. His name is Diamond.
Madam the first call was made on the 21st.
It was a Bangalore number
After that, on the 22nd he didn't make any calls.
23rd and 24th, there were 2 more calls.
One from Mumbai and another from Delhi
Call duration for both numbers doesn't go beyond 2 minutes.
And the 2 Bangalore numbers?
We've called in the number owners, Madam. I'll go and get them.
Can we find out who hacked it?
It's the Cyber-Crime Department's work, Madam.
We can't find out.
- Can we get the call records? - Yes madam.
As I need to get permission from the Commissioner's office.
and then I'll get them to you as soon as possible.
If we get a call right now,
can you trace the location?
We can trace, but cannot pin the accurate location.
Madam their numbers were used to make the call.
Their phones were stolen the day the calls were made.
They blocked their sim cards and reported it the same day.
-Give your complaint copies and leave -Okay, madam.
- Trace the daughter, Aishwarya's number. - Okay
- and get her call records. - Sure
He called again
He wants 2 crore rupees
He told us to keep the money ready.
Have you already arranged for the 2 crores?
Can you trace the call?
Can you tell me the WiFi password?
-The router is near the TV. -Ok.
There's a sticker behind it.
-You haven't spoken to your daughter yet, have you? -No
Next time he calls, tell him you'll give the money.

Before our meeting, I want to speak to my daughter once
First call is from Chennai, and the next is from Chandigarh.
Your daughter is with me, but I can't let you talk to her right now.
Give me 1 crore tomorrow, and you will get to see your daughter.
After that, give the rest of the money.
You can have your daughter back then.
Follow whatever he said
First, see your daughter.
My daughter has been kidnapped
In cases like these, we have to be very careful, Sir.
We don't know what they are capable of.
Sir sending your wife alone tomorrow morning
May not be a good idea.
It could be a threat to her life.
What are you trying to imply?
Start
Okay

Do you know the plight of kidnapped girls?
They get raped.
Not by one.
Not once.
There are some Psychopaths ..
If you get trapped with them
They'll skin you alive.
Maybe, it could happen to you too.
But
I'm not like them.
You're all alone.
But nothing will happen to you.
I have a special gift for you.
Wait for it.
Where's my daughter?

Mr. Gupta!! What’s happening over here?
Due to hypertension, she could even get a heart attack.

She is an introvert.
Did she paint all of these?
Sir, what do we do now?
You, please tell me.
What do we do?
Alright
For the first-case, you begged for?
Look what have you done?
Kidnaping cases like these, Must be solved in 2 days.
It’s already been a day, Since the ransom was paid.
We still haven’t heard from them.
We had one opportunity to save the girl. But because of your deeds, we have lost it.
Shut up!
Who knows, we would've seen the girl, had Mrs. Gupta gone.
For such reckless work, I have the urge to dismiss you.
Hadn’t you asked me the other day,
Why must I come to the station, to do reporting-work, right?
You don't have to come to the station anymore.
Take the reports, sit in your house
and file from there.
You may leave now
How come you're home so early today?
Not much work to do?
Look, I know there is something that is bothering you
Sitting idle will not do much good
Concentrate on what's next.
Okay fine,

I must leave now.
Alright! Lock the door.

But all he does, ...is creating trouble.
How old is your Mani?
He should be...
Right. 9 years old.
He is only grown physically…
but, not mentally.
I think someone has left it behind.
If anyone asks, return it to them.
Where have you been all night?
You haven't slept!
Hey wait up!
Where are you going?
Brother, She wasn't home all night.
She doesn’t respond to anything I ask.
She hasn’t slept either.
I don’t know what to do.
Let me have a word with her.
What?
Hey
What's on your mind?
I dont know
A girl has been kidnapped.
I did my best to save her.
You know what happens.
We have read what is the plight of these kidnapped girls.
I dont know what to do now.
Is this why, you're unable to sleep at night.
Personal and professional life isn’t the same.
Without that balance...
Living becomes hard
Look
Apply the same strategy of the game To your case as well.
Uncle
In this game, I'm playing against you.
Even before you make your next move
This case, isn't like that!
I don't know my opponents and what strategy to use
How can I use this strategy?
In chess,
There's a game called 'Round Robin'.
In which one player plays against six unknown players.
There are many players who've won Round Robin.
Indra, what are you reading ?
Isn't that a dragon?
Its not a dragon, Mom. This is Vrithra, a demon.
But it looks like a dragon.
This might be the origin for the concept of a dragon.
You see, it's expelling fire from its mouth.
There is only drought and famine wherever Vrithra goes.
Do you still have that book I gave you the other night..?
Is it still there ?
Yeah, it's here. Please, come.
Do you have the CCTV footage of that night?
And you are?
Do you have more footages?
No madam, this is it.
Hello. Tell me, Diamond.
Madam, I got the ransom call recordings.
I've mailed them to you. Please check.
Your daughter is with me
By 9 a.m tomorrow You must be ready
I'll call again
You heard the recordings, right?
Did you notice the difference? There are two different voices.
Yes
Why didn't you mention this earlier? That two of them had called.
What if its two people?
The ones who've kidnapped my daughter had called.
I don't think so
Two people have called you, Ma'am.
Out of the two, the first caller was from Bengaluru.
And the call was made from a stolen phone.
Ma'am, did you notice the recordings?
He is stammering.
He is the one who had hacked phones and called you.
We've given the money, to the second caller.
Yeah, two people from the same gang have called. So what?
If its the same gang, why is one call from a stolen phone,
And the other from a hacked phone?
For this reason, they've done it. You're confused aren't you?
They've done it, to confuse us.
No sir
They must've known about the kidnapping, and then made the call.
If I hadn't listened to you
I could've seen my daughter.
If I listen to you now
I may never see her again.
No
Yes
How did you get these recordings?
That telecom guy gave them to you?
should have him suspended.
Have you checked the files? Is the Report-work, done yet?
First finish the work you've been assigned.
Stop behaving like Sherlock Holmes.
Listen
Finish the house burglary report.
And send them to me by tonight.
Go on. Do your work.
The inspector is asking if the house-burglary report is ready?
I'm working on it. Will send it across.
What do you guys do? Sir, I rob houses.
How many of you were involved?
Me and three of my friends
- Their names? - Venu, Madhu & David.
How did you do it?
Sir, I've told you
A guy used to call us.
He would tell us
the movement of the residents of the house
Then at a time set by him,
We'd go and rob, Sir.
Who is the guy who calls you?
I don't know sir.
He used to call us from different numbers every time.
What does he gain from this?
He asked us to open bank accounts
In our names took control of the ATM cards
We'd deposit his share, in that account, Sir.
He'd call from different numbers everyday.
How could I have known him?
I don't even know which city he's from.
Please let me go, Sir.
All these 8 houses' internet bills are from Air-Voice.
Can you check what their mobile network is?
Tell me the phone numbers, Madam.
All these numbers belong to Air-Voice.
What about Mrs. Gupta. Is it Air-Voice too?
Yes, Madam. That's why I have been sent from Air Voice.
- And their internet connection? -It's Air-Voice, Madam.
The bills from these 8 houses,
They're all from the house-burglary case.
The network users use Air Voice.
And Mrs. Gupta, does she use Air-Voice as well?
Yes, Air-Voice.
then..
The 2 ransom calls, made to the Guptas.
from Chandigarh and Chennai.
Can you please check the network connection of those numbers?
The numbers are all from Air-Voice, Madam.
What I'm saying right now may or may not be true.
I think an employee from Air Voice,
Has hacked these numbers.
After hacking,
He finds out the movement of the residents.
And then he robs those houses.
And maybe the same person
hacked Mrs Gupta's phone
to rob them.
And I think, that's when he found out,
that Mr. Gupta's daughter has been kidnapped.
And then used
this situation to his advantage
But the actual kidnapper
Did not ask for any money. Why?
Maybe they're all part of the same gang, Madam.
Is there anything else that's common between
Mr Gupta's house and the burgled houses?
Maybe the installation guy or
Someone from the call center
Or maybe the service engineers?
No, madam. Its not possible to find out now.
But I can tell you once I get to office tomorrow.
Why can't we go now?
Only the call centers will be open right now.
We won't find any information there.
Once I get to the office tomorrow, I can give you all the details.
Sign here
Give his clothes
Hey..
Go back to your village or else all the pending cases will fall on you
I guess he'll never learn
-Yes, Ma
-Yes, Get some milk on your way back
I'll get it
We've already given you 1 crore.
You said you would show us our daughter
But did not show her at all
1 crore?
I never asked for so much money
If you give me 15 lakhs, Your daughter will come back to you
-Who is it? -Yes, yes. We'll give the money. Where should we come?
Come to Majestic bus stand in 2 hours with the money
But please, can I talk to my daughter just once. Please.
Tell me, Diamond
They just got another ransom call. I'll send you the recordings. Please check them.
Give me 15 lakhs and take your daughter
-This sounds like the first caller's voice, doesn't it? -Yes, madam
Which area did the call come from?
One second, I'll check, madam.
-I told you its two different people -Yeah
-Can you send the details I asked for quickly? -Okay madam
Your daughter is right here
She hasn't eaten anything all these days
I don't think she has the strength to talk
But, i'll give it to her
If she talks to you, talk
Talk to me Aishu
Aishu, please talk to me
Is she speaking
I told you, she isn't in a condition to talk
Give me the money and take her
Ok, ok. We'll get the money
There was a call made again from the same area. He said the girl is with him.
I'll go check.
Is there any accused named Mani here?
I dont know madam. I'll have to check.
I want the records of all the petty thieves
I will take a look at it
We've been calling him Kunta for so long we didn't realise his real name was Mani
He just got released
Here's the register
You were the one who created a scene at the bar the other day, right?
Have you seen Kunta?
Over There
Crowd chattering
was someone limping and running here?
He went that way
Why are you laughing?
Where's the girl?
What did you do to her?
I had got mouth cancer two years ago
I used to smoke a lot
So I quit smoking
But now I can’t talk without a beedi in my mouth
What have you done to the girl?
I didn't do anything. She was here when I left a while ago
I had tied her up. She didn't even have the strength to get up.
How many of you are involved in this kidnap? How did you do it?
I don't know how they did it. My friend Prashant kidnapped her
I was just looking after her
I did it because he said he’ll give me 15 lakhs once we release the girl
At the bar you said you didn't know Prashant
Why did he commit suicide?
I don’t know
I got to know about his death through the people in his home town
That girl was right here
I was supposed to get 15 lakhs
That's why
I called them
You called once. Why didn't you call all these days?
How could I?
For someone else's crime, they put me in the jail
I got released today so I thought I’d Send the girl and take the ransom.
How will you send her? Where is the girl?
She was right here
I had tied her up. You've seen it yourself, Madam.The door was open
I found Mani. He said the girl was with him. But she's not here anymore
There are few blood stains in his house. Get it checked. Inform the forensics and the inspector
I'll send you the location now
Madam, I checked the details
In 8 houses that were robbed and in Gupta's house, the WiFi was installed by the same guy
And he also worked in customer care
He quit his job a week ago
I'll send you his photo and address. Please check them.
Madam, this is the house.
I asked around. They’ve gone out somewhere
He is the reason for all this drama.
Do you know?
The girl was kidnapped by Prashant
-But do you know who asked him to do it?
Her father
I told her about it this morning
Do you know why?
Because the girl kept saying that her father will come to save her
I couldn't bare it
So I told her the truth
I dont know why he did such a thing, Madam.
My apartment
the same one Prashant committed suicide in
In that apartment, 80% of the flats are still empty
No one's buying it
My money is flowing out of my hand like water
But
I have another huge land
I wanted to sell that land
And compensate for the loss incurred in this apartment
Two years ago
The government came up with a scheme
To rejuvenate all the dried up lakes
When people found out that my land also was a lake, no one wanted to buy it.
Okay
I thought I'll build an apartment myself
But
The area's MLA and the BBMP officials
Didn't give me the permission to build
I tried really hard
They asked for 50% of the projects value as commission to grant permission
How will I give?
I used my political influence as well
And then I had a thought
What if I become the MLA?
But people don't know who I am
They know my company
Gupta Builders
But they don't know me. They don't recognise my face.
I've done a lot of charity work -social service, donated books to children. I've done it all
But that wasn't enough for people to sympathise with me.
The media should find out in 2 days
Newspapers will report it
TV channels will talk about it
After that, my daughter Aishu will come back to me
After she comes back everyone will question as to who did it
My name shouldn't come up at any cost
You surrender
Confess that you did it
And if they ask why you did it
Tell that MLA Shivakumar asked you to do it
Sir, you betrayed me
If I go to the prison, will you get me out?
I know you very well
Imagine. My photos will be everywhere and world will call me a criminal
Not only that
People will talk about it to my parents
What have they done, sir?
If I accuse the MLA for the kidnapping, Would he spare me?
I'm already a dead man
Then why should I live ?
And that’s why I am going to die, Try to find your daughter if you can.
Hello madam, we checked the blood samples, It is matching with Aishwarya’s blood group
It'll take some time to get the DNA reports
But the inspector got the news He's on his way to Gupta's house
Ok madam
We found the place where your daughter was kept. But she's not there anymore
Only her blood stains are there
For a little bit of fame and money, you kidnapped your own daughter?
Madam, I doubt this is our guy. He looks innocent.
I doubt he has 1 crore with him.
Come in
Please, come in
Sorry, this is my daughter's work
Just out of curiosity, how did you figure it out?
8 houses burglary
I was the service engineer for all the 8 houses
I didn't know the police were so smart to solve it
Forget that. What would you like to drink? Coffee? Tea?
It's not very difficult to make money
Think a little out of the box
Do you have any idea how helpless a man is when he has no money?
That's why I decided.
I started stealing.
But who did I steal from?
They're all poisonous demons
When they breathe, there's only drought
Each one of them is Vritrasura (God of drought)
You may not see it
But when you see from my perspective, you'll understand
Its not a dragon, Ma. It's a demon called Vrithra
It was me
He is a demon
who kidnaps his own daughter for fame and power.
What's wrong if I steal from him?
Who benefits from all of this?
When you were waiting outside my house
there was a delivery boy there
Did you notice?
7th cross builders house robbery
That money got him the bike
And that bike got him a job
and the job settled his life
And someone else got a tailoring machine
In someone's house there was a baby shower
There was no tension
I went to get back my wife’s gold which we had mortgaged
But I couldn't.
She would be very happy if she’d got the jewellery back
But if she asks me where I got the money from
What would I say?
He's not the guy
I had told you, Madam
You can leave. I'll go by cab.
Ma, since childhood I've always wanted to learn new things
solve crime cases, catch criminals
And to pursue that I joined the crime branch
But I learnt one thing
to solve cases and catch criminals
Hey, hey don't jump to any conclusions.
I don't even know who this girl is.
Just like hacking everyone else's phone, I hacked her mom's phone too
That's when I found out she had been kidnapped
Then I got an idea
I found a way to make money
You were the one who got me 1 crore rupees
i might look like a criminal from your perspective
But I have conscience too
I started to worry about what happened to this girl
Just like how you worked hard to find this girl, I too worked hard to find her
I found the girl two hours before you did
My dad never restricted me
And I never disobeyed him
In fact, I studied abroad for my masters
to support him in his business.
Lie
Everything was a lie
My wounded heart can never be healed
impossible
I want to find myself
I want to live my life on my terms
The money is here, I'm also here
You did all of this for your selfish motives
and now you are preaching about moral high grounds?
Haven't you ever felt what you did was wrong?
What's right? What's wrong?
Selfishness is in human nature
When a mother feeds her child
Its because of the selfishness to see the child smile
There's nothing without selfishness here
But the only difference is
Some people’s selfish motives does good
but some people’s selfish motives destroys everything.
If people benefit out of my selfishness
I can do whatever it takes
I don't have the habit of feeling guilty unnecessarily.
I did what I felt was right
You do what you feel is right.
You said you don't have the habit of feeling guilty.
Then why are you explaining yourself so much?
You should know what you've done is right or wrong
What have you done to Gupta?
He's gone mad
I didn't take any money from him
He's not in a condition to talk
This is just for your reference, Sir
I've already sent a copy to the commissioner's office
What is this? Have you gone crazy?
Just because you can't handle a case, you're resigning?
You are being immature.
Don't you know how hard it is to get a job here?
You should make use of the opportunities you get. But you...
