1
00:00:18,644 --> 00:00:20,980
This is Police Emergency.
How can I help you?
2
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:26,277
A body has been found
near Mount Senoria School.
3
00:00:27,278 --> 00:00:29,363
A dead body?
4
00:00:30,364 --> 00:00:33,993
They say he's dead, madam.
They all say he's dead.
5
00:00:34,952 --> 00:00:36,788
Okay, I'll send a unit now.
6
00:00:46,297 --> 00:00:47,507
Hello?
7
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:51,052
I'm at the scene now, sir.
It looks like a murder.
8
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:56,557
She killed him! She killed her husband!
9
00:00:57,099 --> 00:01:00,019
We've detained the deceased's wife
and mother-in-law.
10
00:01:00,103 --> 00:01:02,063
His mother insists that they murdered him.
11
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:07,443
Look, she killed my son!
12
00:01:07,527 --> 00:01:08,861
Mother!
13
00:01:08,945 --> 00:01:10,530
Look how she killed my son!
14
00:01:24,377 --> 00:01:26,337
Okay, bring the stretcher.
15
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:30,091
-Shall I get them now, sir?
-Yes. Quickly.
16
00:01:30,174 --> 00:01:32,134
Measure the length.
17
00:01:33,511 --> 00:01:35,680
This is my 14th year
in the police service.
18
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:39,767
We never know
what cases will come our way.
19
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:44,272
So there's a lot of thrill in the job.
20
00:01:45,022 --> 00:01:47,358
Especially with a case like this.
21
00:01:49,151 --> 00:01:51,195
Get a move on.
22
00:01:53,156 --> 00:01:54,532
The complaint states that
23
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:57,618
the mother-daughter duo
has committed the murder.
24
00:01:59,579 --> 00:02:00,580
Go in.
25
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:03,040
Sit there.
26
00:02:03,916 --> 00:02:05,835
Wait here until the inspector arrives.
27
00:02:07,503 --> 00:02:10,131
No one confesses to murder.
28
00:02:11,549 --> 00:02:14,886
They stop at nothing
to prove their innocence.
29
00:02:49,086 --> 00:02:50,796
The DCP has arrived.
30
00:02:53,883 --> 00:02:55,134
Move back.
31
00:03:01,098 --> 00:03:01,933
Sir.
32
00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:07,813
His name was Santhosh Kumar, 31 years old.
33
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:10,816
-When was the body found?
-7:00 a.m., sir.
34
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:12,902
His wife's name is Yamuna.
35
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:18,991
We've taken her to the station.
His wife and her mother, sir.
36
00:03:22,244 --> 00:03:23,871
All injuries are to the head.
37
00:03:24,538 --> 00:03:27,583
-No other injuries?
-Nothing else apparent.
38
00:03:29,335 --> 00:03:31,963
Don't open it. Just move it this way.
39
00:03:32,672 --> 00:03:35,549
There aren't any
defensive injuries on his arms.
40
00:03:37,051 --> 00:03:39,095
-Take the body away.
-Certainly, sir.
41
00:03:40,513 --> 00:03:45,017
You can't move him!
Bring her here, kill her!
42
00:03:45,101 --> 00:03:48,271
Why are you looking at me? My son is dead!
43
00:03:48,354 --> 00:03:51,565
That's his mother, sir.
And that's the brother.
44
00:03:51,649 --> 00:03:54,694
She's been like this all morning.
45
00:03:54,777 --> 00:03:56,529
-Poor woman has lost her son.
-Yes, sir.
46
00:03:56,612 --> 00:03:58,447
That's why we haven't said anything.
47
00:03:58,531 --> 00:04:01,284
Look at my golden boy lying there!
48
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:04,161
She kills people and takes their money.
49
00:04:04,245 --> 00:04:07,206
Bring her to the station.
We can't do this on the street.
50
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:11,585
Is my son really dead?
51
00:04:20,845 --> 00:04:24,390
I'm the most senior officer
in the northern jurisdiction.
52
00:04:24,974 --> 00:04:29,854
As soon as I'm informed
of a murder, I go to the scene.
53
00:04:30,521 --> 00:04:32,606
What does the victim's family say to us?
54
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:37,903
"He's dead now.
But the criminals must be punished."
55
00:04:37,987 --> 00:04:42,158
Please, sir, I want justice.
Sir, I beg you.
56
00:04:42,241 --> 00:04:44,660
Of course, we will get justice.
57
00:04:44,744 --> 00:04:49,290
"They must be arrested,
jailed and hanged."
58
00:04:49,832 --> 00:04:52,251
That's what they expect of the police.
59
00:04:52,335 --> 00:04:56,380
It's our responsibility
to fulfil those expectations.
60
00:04:57,089 --> 00:04:58,507
Sir, Public TV.
61
00:05:01,385 --> 00:05:04,764
At around 7:00 this morning,
62
00:05:04,847 --> 00:05:08,684
a corpse was found in a sack.
63
00:05:09,894 --> 00:05:14,690
We're registering a murder case
at Nandini Layout Police Station.
64
00:05:14,774 --> 00:05:17,443
We'll find the culprits
as soon as possible.
65
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:20,488
Sir, are the family
accusing his wife of the murder?
66
00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:23,532
Have they only been married a year?
67
00:05:24,992 --> 00:05:27,578
You may have seen his mother.
68
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:31,540
She's accusing
the deceased's wife and mother-in-law.
69
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:36,670
The wife and her mother live in one house.
The victim's family live in another.
70
00:05:36,754 --> 00:05:38,422
Santhosh lived at both houses.
71
00:05:38,506 --> 00:05:41,759
His family claim
that his wife and mother-in-law
72
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:44,178
tried to extort property from him.
73
00:05:45,638 --> 00:05:48,432
They say this is why they murdered him.
74
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:53,687
We'll register the complaint
and find the culprits.
75
00:05:53,771 --> 00:05:58,067
Or whoever's behind it.
76
00:05:58,692 --> 00:05:59,860
Thank you, sir.
77
00:06:08,077 --> 00:06:11,664
There was no blood,
which confirmed our suspicion
78
00:06:11,747 --> 00:06:14,667
that the murder happened
prior to moving the body here.
79
00:06:16,168 --> 00:06:17,378
Let's go to their house.
80
00:06:17,461 --> 00:06:21,257
We'll search the house for clues.
81
00:06:39,525 --> 00:06:43,320
It's more difficult if some days
have passed, but this is a fresh case.
82
00:06:44,029 --> 00:06:45,531
So we must search the house.
83
00:06:46,323 --> 00:06:51,620
If the murder happened there,
we'll find something.
84
00:06:53,414 --> 00:06:55,541
Looks like there's been
a celebration here.
85
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:59,962
-What's all this for?
-My sister's birthday.
86
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:01,797
-What's your sister's name?
-Yamuna.
87
00:07:02,882 --> 00:07:06,177
-What does your father do?
-I don't have a father.
88
00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:09,305
-No father? Is he dead?
-No, my parents are divorced.
89
00:07:09,388 --> 00:07:10,598
They live separately?
90
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:16,937
Flashy tastes, sir.
91
00:07:22,526 --> 00:07:25,196
I can't tolerate so much stuff
in my house, even for a day.
92
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,740
I wouldn't allow such decoration.
93
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:29,825
This must be the girl.
94
00:07:33,913 --> 00:07:35,456
She looks young, doesn't she?
95
00:07:36,165 --> 00:07:38,000
She's 19, sir.
96
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,173
-Who is this?
-My sister, in 5th grade.
97
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:46,091
Old photo.
98
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:51,180
-Where are the recent photos?
-In the wedding album.
99
00:07:51,263 --> 00:07:52,264
-Go, get it.
-Show me.
100
00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:57,478
Bring it.
101
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:05,819
-Who's this?
-My mother.
102
00:08:06,946 --> 00:08:08,697
-Is this your mother?
-Yes.
103
00:08:10,574 --> 00:08:12,243
-Is this the guy?
-Yes, sir.
104
00:08:21,085 --> 00:08:22,086
Bring this.
105
00:08:23,671 --> 00:08:26,924
Finding out
where the crime took place is vital.
106
00:08:27,967 --> 00:08:30,135
But we didn't find a clue there.
107
00:08:31,762 --> 00:08:35,182
Where did it take place?
How? What's the motive?
108
00:08:35,266 --> 00:08:39,937
These are basic questions.
Without these, we can't solve it.
109
00:08:43,315 --> 00:08:47,361
They disposed of a body stuffed in a sack.
110
00:08:48,153 --> 00:08:54,451
Dumping a corpse
in a public place causes great panic.
111
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:04,878
We must find the connection
between the victim and the accused.
112
00:09:05,462 --> 00:09:08,465
There could be financial issues,
extramarital affairs.
113
00:09:08,549 --> 00:09:11,552
We must uncover the story
114
00:09:11,635 --> 00:09:14,555
that ended with this offence.
115
00:09:27,818 --> 00:09:31,488
What should I put? It was a love marriage?
116
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:32,740
Yes.
117
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:37,494
-Was it their first anniversary recently?
-Yes.
118
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:39,330
Did you get them married?
119
00:09:39,455 --> 00:09:44,126
Yes, sir. We spent
two million rupees on a grand wedding.
120
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,919
There were 10,000 guests.
121
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,343
She asked for
the earrings they wear in films.
122
00:09:52,426 --> 00:09:58,599
I had five gold necklaces,
bangles and earrings made for her.
123
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:03,103
-Did he move in with you?
-Yes, because I was unwell.
124
00:10:03,187 --> 00:10:04,146
Why did he come…
125
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:07,358
So because of your health,
126
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:10,569
you moved in with your mother,
along with your husband?
127
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:11,654
Yes.
128
00:10:13,322 --> 00:10:15,449
-What's your mother's name?
-Shamala K.
129
00:10:20,204 --> 00:10:22,039
Was Yamuna under her mother's thumb?
130
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:24,833
She's just like her mother.
131
00:10:25,376 --> 00:10:27,336
Were the husband and wife happy?
132
00:10:27,419 --> 00:10:30,089
She lived with us at first,
but she made him move out with her.
133
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:32,716
She let him in the house,
but didn't sleep with him.
134
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,260
They didn't sleep together
like a married couple.
135
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:39,848
They've been
extorting money from him for two years.
136
00:10:39,932 --> 00:10:43,894
They were pressuring him
to put the house in her name.
137
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:45,938
-When did you see him last?
-Yesterday.
138
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:47,731
Yesterday at 1:30.
139
00:10:47,815 --> 00:10:51,360
She killed Santhosh.
I told my brother-in-law.
140
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:54,905
They killed him and put him in a sack.
141
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,282
-The small girl?
-You call her a small girl?
142
00:10:57,366 --> 00:11:00,494
Do you know how many men she's been with?
She's not a small girl.
143
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:02,705
That girl is happy about this.
144
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:04,289
Sir.
145
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:08,919
Land dispute cases are very common.
Every station has them.
146
00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:13,090
This is mainly due to
the sharp rise in land value.
147
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,846
Bangalore is an IT hub
and the Electronic City.
148
00:11:18,929 --> 00:11:23,475
Industries are growing by the day.
149
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:28,355
Land prices are now ten times
what they were ten years ago.
150
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:35,070
This is his area.
He has four or five houses here.
151
00:11:35,779 --> 00:11:37,156
Houses that he rented out.
152
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:43,662
Shamala and Yamuna don't own property.
153
00:11:44,246 --> 00:11:46,373
They say Yamuna's mother asked him
154
00:11:46,457 --> 00:11:48,917
to transfer
some of his property to her daughter.
155
00:11:49,001 --> 00:11:50,294
But he didn't.
156
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:53,547
That's why his family
accused them of the murder.
157
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:00,012
We brought the mother
and daughter in for two reasons.
158
00:12:00,095 --> 00:12:02,890
They're here as suspects,
but also for their own safety.
159
00:12:03,891 --> 00:12:06,935
If we release them,
his family will cause trouble.
160
00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:23,702
-Are these the postmortem reports?
-There's one injury on his forehead.
161
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:26,663
-Is this caused by a machete?
-Not by a machete.
162
00:12:26,747 --> 00:12:29,583
-It's two inches deep.
-A machete wouldn't cut that deep.
163
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:31,376
It's more likely an axe.
164
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:36,590
There are ten people on my team.
165
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:39,259
Are these ligature marks?
166
00:12:39,343 --> 00:12:42,054
-It looks like ligature marks.
-They strangled him.
167
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:47,851
Each one of us
has our own idea about what happened.
168
00:12:48,852 --> 00:12:53,732
They haven't flung the body.
The body's been laid down lovingly.
169
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,776
If they'd flung the body,
it'd be in a heap.
170
00:12:55,859 --> 00:12:59,780
Someone who loved him
put him down gently like this.
171
00:13:01,156 --> 00:13:03,951
There are no injuries
which incurred in self-defense.
172
00:13:04,034 --> 00:13:09,957
So we think
he was strangled while he slept.
173
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:15,420
And then he was
struck on the head with a machete.
174
00:13:24,429 --> 00:13:26,431
His name was Santhosh.
175
00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:31,478
It was a gift to my husband
on our anniversary.
176
00:13:31,562 --> 00:13:37,150
He liked it very much.
He said it was an unforgettable gift.
177
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,950
My mother-in-law has accused me
of murdering my husband.
178
00:13:45,576 --> 00:13:47,244
That's why we're staying here.
179
00:13:47,869 --> 00:13:54,835
I've heard from the police that
he's been packed in a sack and thrown out.
180
00:13:54,918 --> 00:13:56,795
I shouted, I cried.
181
00:13:56,878 --> 00:14:01,550
It was a bad experience
and it's unforgettable.
182
00:14:01,633 --> 00:14:07,514
Now, it feels like
he's just gone somewhere, not dead.
183
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:13,770
The way he looked,
people thought he was an angry person.
184
00:14:13,854 --> 00:14:16,857
But inside, he was a softhearted person.
185
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:20,986
The way he treated me, the way we chatted,
186
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,488
those things I miss.
187
00:14:43,926 --> 00:14:46,136
Never mind the chairs, just come in.
188
00:14:51,475 --> 00:14:54,144
Right, you all know
the details of this case.
189
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:57,856
The prime suspects,
as reflected in his family's statement,
190
00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:01,193
are the wife
and mother-in-law of the deceased.
191
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:04,863
You have them in custody.
Conduct the enquiries.
192
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:09,910
Explore that angle fully.
But look at other possibilities, too.
193
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:15,040
Check CCTV
to find out how the body got there.
194
00:15:16,041 --> 00:15:20,921
Cell phone analysis should reveal
where Santhosh had been and who he met.
195
00:15:21,505 --> 00:15:25,926
Also check
the criminal history of the deceased.
196
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:28,845
This is a sensitive case.
197
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:31,723
It might not be what we think it is.
198
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:34,726
But we must solve it quickly.
199
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:42,192
Lohith is the kind of officer who can
be assigned complete responsibility.
200
00:15:43,235 --> 00:15:46,279
He gives 100%. He's also rather lucky.
201
00:15:47,239 --> 00:15:48,615
Lohith has been very lucky.
202
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:54,913
Everyone works hard on important cases,
203
00:15:54,997 --> 00:15:59,167
but he has had some lucky breakthroughs.
204
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:02,754
So he's both hardworking and lucky.
205
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:16,727
There's a camera there.
206
00:16:17,686 --> 00:16:19,896
-Let's look.
-Sir, this place is of no use to us.
207
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,734
There's a hotel up ahead.
They'll have cameras.
208
00:16:26,528 --> 00:16:30,115
Four roads lead up to the place
where the body was dumped.
209
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,453
If we look at CCTV footage,
we'll know how the body got there.
210
00:16:38,248 --> 00:16:43,170
This happened after 2:00 a.m.
Sometime between 2:00 and 5:00.
211
00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:47,090
In between that time,
we're searching the CCTV footage.
212
00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:57,434
Show us your CCTV footage. Where is it?
213
00:16:57,517 --> 00:16:59,770
In the office, sir.
214
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:06,151
Write that down.
215
00:17:15,827 --> 00:17:18,163
-Is the camera live?
-It's live, sir.
216
00:17:18,246 --> 00:17:20,207
But our view is only to there.
217
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:22,751
Switch it on, fast.
218
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:27,172
I'll just check this and leave.
219
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:31,384
It's useless.
220
00:17:31,968 --> 00:17:33,095
It doesn't cover the road.
221
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:41,686
We can't sit still.
We're always thinking of how to solve it.
222
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:44,731
We feel the family's grief
at losing their son…
223
00:17:44,815 --> 00:17:48,485
It's also a creative challenge for us,
thinking of the various possibilities.
224
00:17:48,568 --> 00:17:55,200
It's only when we find that crucial clue
225
00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:58,912
that we'll make
a breakthrough and solve the case.
226
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:08,130
The spot is here.
About ten meters to that side.
227
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:13,552
Where does this woman come from?
228
00:18:13,635 --> 00:18:16,972
She's carrying garbage.
229
00:18:17,055 --> 00:18:20,267
-Who is she?
-It's not his mother.
230
00:18:21,476 --> 00:18:26,731
We don't have a clear view
of the place the body was found.
231
00:18:27,732 --> 00:18:29,234
There's no camera there.
232
00:18:29,317 --> 00:18:34,072
We're looking at the four roads
that lead to that place.
233
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:38,910
We've found CCTV on three of these roads.
234
00:18:40,328 --> 00:18:41,454
What's this?
235
00:18:42,539 --> 00:18:43,790
Look at that auto.
236
00:18:44,541 --> 00:18:46,960
-And the auto passed by.
-It did.
237
00:18:48,545 --> 00:18:50,088
Nothing there.
238
00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:54,134
We're not even ignoring the dogs.
239
00:18:59,389 --> 00:19:01,433
Hey, take this.
240
00:19:03,685 --> 00:19:07,189
The wife and mother-in-law were accused,
241
00:19:07,772 --> 00:19:13,612
so everyone, including our superiors,
thought it would be easy to solve.
242
00:19:14,863 --> 00:19:18,283
They haven't been ruled out as suspects.
243
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:22,996
But so far, we haven't found anything
that proves that they are guilty.
244
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,130
Hello, sir. Lohith here.
245
00:19:33,965 --> 00:19:39,888
We looked at Santhosh's history.
He was not a lawful person, sir.
246
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:42,599
There are criminal cases against him.
247
00:19:44,226 --> 00:19:46,770
Yes, sir. There was one in 2015.
248
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:49,481
He was convicted
of a sexual offence against a minor.
249
00:19:50,398 --> 00:19:55,528
He was arrested
and went to jail for a couple of years.
250
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,115
Okay, sir.
251
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:08,291
Normal people who lead normal lives
don't get murdered like this.
252
00:20:10,168 --> 00:20:13,338
He was a shady character
and someone could've had it in for him.
253
00:20:14,923 --> 00:20:20,929
If he was a good person,
this might not have happened.
254
00:20:31,314 --> 00:20:33,692
Hello, my baby.
255
00:20:39,656 --> 00:20:43,660
Come pray. Let's pray.
256
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:49,708
The time I have with my children
in the morning is the best part of my day.
257
00:20:55,297 --> 00:20:58,300
Our older son is special.
258
00:21:00,969 --> 00:21:06,224
He's very talented.
But we don't understand his language.
259
00:21:07,392 --> 00:21:09,019
He lives in his own world.
260
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:10,895
Say "Daddy".
261
00:21:16,026 --> 00:21:19,154
People say
I'm in a powerful position at work.
262
00:21:19,237 --> 00:21:22,324
But it's just my profession.
263
00:21:24,326 --> 00:21:26,119
This is my life.
264
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:28,955
Come, sit.
265
00:21:32,584 --> 00:21:34,836
He can be quite difficult at times.
266
00:21:36,046 --> 00:21:39,591
He gets very upset
if I smack him as a punishment.
267
00:21:41,051 --> 00:21:42,886
The couple of times I have hit him,
268
00:21:42,969 --> 00:21:45,847
I regretted it so much
that I ended up crying.
269
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:59,027
Sit with me.
270
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:07,077
As the police,
we solve other people's problems.
271
00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:10,372
But some things are beyond our control.
272
00:22:12,123 --> 00:22:14,667
I'm unable to do anything
about my son's condition.
273
00:22:16,294 --> 00:22:18,254
I can solve a lot, but not this.
274
00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:21,966
Only God can do something.
275
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:25,261
That's the only thing I pray for
before I leave home each day.
276
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:30,433
Bye, Shri, my beloved son.
277
00:22:47,742 --> 00:22:51,037
Call the rest of the team.
278
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:57,669
This is the Santhosh murder case, sir.
279
00:22:57,752 --> 00:23:04,008
The parents of the deceased
accuse his wife and mother-in-law.
280
00:23:04,092 --> 00:23:06,219
We haven't found evidence to support that.
281
00:23:06,845 --> 00:23:10,807
It doesn't look like
they had plans to kill him.
282
00:23:11,683 --> 00:23:17,856
Our team watched all the CCTV
from the spot where the body was found.
283
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:20,984
We haven't found
anything relevant there, sir.
284
00:23:21,067 --> 00:23:24,863
Santhosh's phone was switched off
from around 3:30 to 4:00 p.m.
285
00:23:24,946 --> 00:23:30,368
-On the day of the incident?
-Yes, sir. On the day of the murder.
286
00:23:30,451 --> 00:23:36,583
What happened to him
after 4:00 is a mystery.
287
00:23:36,666 --> 00:23:40,587
That's important.
That's what we're investigating now.
288
00:23:41,546 --> 00:23:45,466
Right. Look into that.
289
00:23:46,342 --> 00:23:52,182
Small details like that
can lead to a breakthrough.
290
00:23:52,765 --> 00:23:56,769
Establishing these details will
bring the case to its logical conclusion.
291
00:23:56,853 --> 00:24:00,148
Let's not work on presumptions.
292
00:24:00,773 --> 00:24:02,025
Let's see how it goes.
293
00:24:04,819 --> 00:24:06,863
It's been three days since the murder.
294
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:11,242
We've cracked
similar cases within 24 hours.
295
00:24:12,243 --> 00:24:16,956
It bothers me that I haven't
completed the task assigned to me.
296
00:24:18,917 --> 00:24:20,752
I seek God's help.
297
00:24:23,004 --> 00:24:28,009
I ask him why I'm unable to make headway.
298
00:24:31,095 --> 00:24:34,974
I feel like we must
revisit the facts with a calm mind,
299
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:43,107
and see if we missed a clue
at the scene on the first day.
300
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:58,414
I've seen these gunny bags as a child.
301
00:24:59,207 --> 00:25:03,795
They used them
to carry vegetables and things.
302
00:25:03,878 --> 00:25:06,965
We don't see them much anymore,
especially in Bangalore.
303
00:25:09,467 --> 00:25:12,095
Small clues often solve cases.
304
00:25:17,058 --> 00:25:18,309
Sit down.
305
00:25:25,566 --> 00:25:27,860
Take a look at this sack.
306
00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:30,863
Take it out.
307
00:25:32,407 --> 00:25:34,909
Put it there. The other side.
308
00:25:37,328 --> 00:25:38,663
What kind of sack is this?
309
00:25:39,664 --> 00:25:41,958
This is a government feed-sack, sir.
310
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:44,085
-What?
-Government cattle-feed.
311
00:25:45,003 --> 00:25:46,713
A sack for cattle-feed?
312
00:25:46,796 --> 00:25:48,965
Yes. This is for feed
and that's for oil-cake.
313
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,508
-Oil-cake and feed?
-Yes, sir.
314
00:25:50,591 --> 00:25:53,803
-Where can we find this sack locally?
-You won't find it locally.
315
00:25:53,886 --> 00:25:56,347
Someone from the villages
may have brought fruit in it.
316
00:25:56,431 --> 00:25:58,975
Do you only find it
with people who keep cows?
317
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:00,560
Yes, only where there's cows.
318
00:26:01,686 --> 00:26:03,479
It must be someone who keeps cows.
319
00:26:11,529 --> 00:26:13,156
There's a guy walking.
320
00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:15,867
-The guy in shorts?
-What?
321
00:26:16,534 --> 00:26:20,288
That looks like Anand. He has cows, sir.
322
00:26:21,414 --> 00:26:24,500
-What time?
-5:28 a.m., sir.
323
00:26:24,584 --> 00:26:25,543
That's Anand.
324
00:26:25,626 --> 00:26:28,254
At 5:27, we see Anand wearing shorts.
325
00:26:28,338 --> 00:26:32,342
Anand is Santhosh's neighbor.
He walked by at dawn.
326
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:37,013
I don't believe in coincidences.
327
00:26:38,598 --> 00:26:40,475
Does the road go left from there?
328
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:43,561
Up, and then towards
where the body was found.
329
00:26:44,395 --> 00:26:47,982
First he's not carrying, then he brings
something from the other side.
330
00:26:48,858 --> 00:26:50,234
Let's bring Anand in.
331
00:27:32,777 --> 00:27:34,153
Get in the car.
332
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:38,950
We're going to the station.
333
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,249
Listen, Anand.
334
00:27:47,125 --> 00:27:49,877
Just spill the beans.
335
00:27:51,421 --> 00:27:55,508
An offender will always try
to protect themselves.
336
00:27:55,591 --> 00:28:00,513
They'll try anything
to make you think they're innocent.
337
00:28:02,265 --> 00:28:06,227
But we'll always get to the truth.
338
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:17,613
Sometimes they need special "treatment."
After that, they talk.
339
00:28:25,288 --> 00:28:27,123
-Who's that?
-It's me, sir.
340
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,211
-Why were you out at that time?
-I was going to tend to the cows.
341
00:28:32,295 --> 00:28:34,964
-At 5:00 in the morning?
-I let them out at 5:30, sir.
342
00:28:36,048 --> 00:28:38,843
-You go past empty-handed?
-Yes, sir.
343
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,431
We ran out of milk, so I went to buy some.
344
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:46,142
You have cows, why did you buy milk?
345
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:51,105
Sir, I forgot someone's order.
My wife gave him our milk.
346
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:54,692
When did you do that?
347
00:28:54,776 --> 00:28:58,571
I don't remember
what day it was, but I brought milk.
348
00:28:58,654 --> 00:29:01,157
Don't you dare tell me
you don't know, you bastard.
349
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,243
-Think or I'll crack your skull.
-On the day of the murder, 14th.
350
00:29:04,327 --> 00:29:05,661
When did you see the body?
351
00:29:06,204 --> 00:29:09,791
Sir, there's a mistake on the camera.
I woke up at 5:50 that day.
352
00:29:09,874 --> 00:29:11,709
It's supposed to be Thursday.
353
00:29:11,793 --> 00:29:13,961
Don't talk about timings, you bastard.
354
00:29:14,045 --> 00:29:16,506
I really don't understand this, sir.
355
00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:19,842
I beg you to believe me,
I know nothing, sir.
356
00:29:19,926 --> 00:29:22,261
I swear on the lives of my children.
357
00:29:23,513 --> 00:29:27,934
It's impossible to solve the case
without playing some mind games.
358
00:29:28,017 --> 00:29:29,936
We do this during interrogation.
359
00:29:30,937 --> 00:29:34,106
Sometimes, innocent people
may be roughly handled.
360
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:40,363
But to deliver justice,
we must immerse ourselves in it.
361
00:29:43,157 --> 00:29:46,828
If I let it trouble me, it would be
impossible to work in the police.
362
00:30:02,176 --> 00:30:04,971
I think we can rule out Anand.
363
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:11,686
If he was involved, he wouldn't have
walked by so casually to buy milk.
364
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:15,106
We don't need to suspect Anand.
365
00:30:15,773 --> 00:30:18,526
I'm not pressuring you.
But we shouldn't panic.
366
00:30:18,609 --> 00:30:21,612
It stops our minds from working.
That's what's happened to us now.
367
00:30:21,696 --> 00:30:24,115
We're even dreaming about this case.
368
00:30:24,198 --> 00:30:27,034
So let's begin work
in the morning with fresh heads.
369
00:30:27,827 --> 00:30:29,745
I'm 100% sure we can solve this.
370
00:30:29,829 --> 00:30:34,667
But we've been in a hurry
to finish it within 24 hours,
371
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:40,089
and that pressure led to us panicking.
372
00:30:40,882 --> 00:30:43,301
The CCTV we've reviewed
so far isn't sufficient.
373
00:30:43,926 --> 00:30:45,720
We haven't got any leads.
374
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:49,515
If we widen the search area
of the CCTV cameras,
375
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:51,225
we might see something.
376
00:30:51,309 --> 00:30:53,477
That's an important point.
377
00:30:53,561 --> 00:30:56,314
Let's check every camera
within 200 meters from there.
378
00:30:57,023 --> 00:30:59,734
Santhosh is bound to be picked up by one.
379
00:30:59,817 --> 00:31:05,031
Yes, sir,
that's the only way to do it now.
380
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:24,133
I'll call, sir.
381
00:31:25,343 --> 00:31:26,928
Yes, do it now.
382
00:31:31,933 --> 00:31:32,934
It's ringing.
383
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:36,228
Sir, hello.
384
00:31:36,312 --> 00:31:39,315
We've collected some new CCTV footage.
385
00:31:39,941 --> 00:31:41,943
You can see Santhosh in it.
386
00:31:43,819 --> 00:31:45,237
It's definitely Santhosh.
387
00:31:46,072 --> 00:31:48,366
I've sent you a video, sir.
388
00:31:48,449 --> 00:31:50,368
Please have a look.
389
00:31:52,078 --> 00:31:53,454
Yes, okay.
390
00:31:54,622 --> 00:31:56,248
Sir, this is new footage.
391
00:31:56,332 --> 00:31:58,542
Yes, you can see Santhosh walk past.
392
00:31:59,126 --> 00:32:00,252
That's him, he's tall.
393
00:32:00,836 --> 00:32:02,463
He goes into a house.
394
00:32:03,965 --> 00:32:05,383
He doesn't come out.
395
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:09,136
Santhosh's cell phone
was switched off at this point.
396
00:32:09,637 --> 00:32:10,554
Okay.
397
00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:14,600
The man who went in with him comes out.
398
00:32:15,226 --> 00:32:16,519
Him?
399
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:18,813
He and his wife come out.
400
00:32:20,189 --> 00:32:23,192
He takes Santhosh's bike away.
401
00:32:24,652 --> 00:32:27,488
-He's taking his bike.
-Yes, sir.
402
00:32:31,617 --> 00:32:34,161
Sir, we asked our informants.
403
00:32:34,245 --> 00:32:36,539
It's a man named Manju.
He's an auto driver.
404
00:32:40,584 --> 00:32:42,503
Sir, we're tracking Manju's phone.
405
00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:49,135
It signals a location
70 km west of Bangalore, sir.
406
00:33:00,604 --> 00:33:01,522
Stop the car here.
407
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:06,861
You go.
408
00:33:06,944 --> 00:33:08,988
Go on.
409
00:33:12,908 --> 00:33:13,909
I won't run away.
410
00:33:13,993 --> 00:33:16,495
Just walk.
411
00:33:16,579 --> 00:33:19,248
-Bring her to the front.
-Walk in front, lady.
412
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:20,374
Go on.
413
00:33:25,796 --> 00:33:27,840
Keep walking.
414
00:33:42,021 --> 00:33:43,022
Hello, sir.
415
00:33:43,564 --> 00:33:44,899
Mission accomplished.
416
00:33:46,859 --> 00:33:47,985
Yes, sir.
417
00:33:48,486 --> 00:33:51,238
He was his neighbor, sir. A friend.
418
00:33:51,322 --> 00:33:55,201
So you think he and his wife did it?
419
00:33:55,284 --> 00:33:59,163
Yes. It's all on the CCTV.
The man and his wife did it together.
420
00:33:59,955 --> 00:34:02,374
We caught her as well. They have two sons.
421
00:34:02,458 --> 00:34:05,586
We left the children
with their grandmother.
422
00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:07,588
And we have the couple in our custody.
423
00:34:09,590 --> 00:34:11,050
We're heading back now, sir.
424
00:34:11,133 --> 00:34:13,427
We've been up all night.
425
00:34:30,194 --> 00:34:34,448
When we find that crucial clue,
we feel like, "Yes! We did it!"
426
00:34:34,532 --> 00:34:37,034
It's hard to describe that feeling.
427
00:34:44,834 --> 00:34:47,920
We don't accuse him immediately.
428
00:34:49,797 --> 00:34:53,384
We'll show him the evidence.
We say, "This is your fate."
429
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:55,678
"These were your whereabouts."
430
00:34:58,139 --> 00:35:04,520
That way, we get him to reveal the truth.
431
00:35:13,571 --> 00:35:15,573
Congratulations.
432
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:29,420
-What time do we see him arrive?
-At 2:00 p.m., sir.
433
00:35:35,217 --> 00:35:37,636
-Who's that? Is that him?
-That's the accused.
434
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:38,721
Manju.
435
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,808
-Did he call him over?
-Yes. He phoned him, sir.
436
00:35:46,562 --> 00:35:48,147
That's Santhosh, sir.
437
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:51,984
That's where the sun sets on him.
438
00:35:52,067 --> 00:35:54,987
-Is that the last time he's seen alive?
-Yes, sir.
439
00:35:56,906 --> 00:35:59,617
-The wife comes out. Is that the wife?
-Yes, sir.
440
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:02,286
-The wife was a willing participant?
-Yes, sir.
441
00:36:04,330 --> 00:36:05,331
Go forward.
442
00:36:05,414 --> 00:36:07,917
Play the part where he comes out at night.
443
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,211
-Is that when he brings it out?
-Yes, sir.
444
00:36:10,294 --> 00:36:11,795
Hold it. They're bringing it.
445
00:36:15,633 --> 00:36:16,550
My God.
446
00:36:17,301 --> 00:36:18,969
He does it so fast.
447
00:36:22,848 --> 00:36:26,644
She's getting in with the corpse. Wow.
448
00:36:28,729 --> 00:36:30,606
Here it comes.
449
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:35,236
His feet are
sticking out of the auto, sir.
450
00:36:38,656 --> 00:36:40,783
And the gunny bag.
451
00:36:48,499 --> 00:36:51,752
Hey, come here. Move it.
452
00:36:55,339 --> 00:36:57,341
How many of you went last night?
453
00:36:58,509 --> 00:37:01,178
There were six of us.
454
00:37:01,762 --> 00:37:03,430
Has he spoken about his motive?
455
00:37:03,514 --> 00:37:09,061
Yes, sir, he's told us a little.
It sounds plausible.
456
00:37:10,396 --> 00:37:15,359
He says that Santhosh was
a complete bastard, sir.
457
00:37:17,152 --> 00:37:21,949
He secretly filmed the couple
458
00:37:22,032 --> 00:37:26,954
in their bathroom five years ago,
459
00:37:27,037 --> 00:37:28,789
showering naked.
460
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:33,961
He's been blackmailing them ever since.
461
00:37:34,878 --> 00:37:38,382
He couldn't take
the torture anymore. He's heavily in debt.
462
00:37:39,425 --> 00:37:41,760
He called him
under the pretense of paying the money,
463
00:37:42,428 --> 00:37:44,221
and he struck him with an axe.
464
00:37:45,139 --> 00:37:46,223
Come on, now.
465
00:37:47,016 --> 00:37:51,812
He told us that Santhosh was
on his bed watching TV.
466
00:37:51,895 --> 00:37:55,816
Manju came from behind
and struck him on the forehead.
467
00:37:55,899 --> 00:37:57,401
Good, well done.
468
00:37:58,152 --> 00:38:02,239
Your inspector said yesterday
that the case was rather tough.
469
00:38:02,323 --> 00:38:05,659
-Really, sir--
-He said you had no leads.
470
00:38:05,743 --> 00:38:07,244
This was truly hard, sir.
471
00:38:07,328 --> 00:38:09,413
The complainant seemed very sure
472
00:38:09,496 --> 00:38:12,416
that his wife
and her mother had killed her son.
473
00:38:12,499 --> 00:38:15,044
She threw us off track, sir.
474
00:38:15,127 --> 00:38:19,381
Well, charge them
based on the CCTV footage.
475
00:38:20,090 --> 00:38:24,678
Now the victim's family
will know what really happened.
476
00:38:24,762 --> 00:38:27,931
Also, innocent people
such as his wife and her mother
477
00:38:28,015 --> 00:38:32,561
won't be falsely charged.
478
00:38:35,314 --> 00:38:38,776
We had kept
the mother-daughter duo at the station.
479
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:43,405
There was a lot of pressure on us
to arrest them as they were accused.
480
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:46,784
Well, my girl. You know what happened?
481
00:38:46,867 --> 00:38:51,080
You're lucky this murder case came to us.
482
00:38:51,163 --> 00:38:52,748
You received the gift of life.
483
00:38:53,624 --> 00:38:56,877
If you value it, you can live a good life.
484
00:38:58,170 --> 00:39:01,673
Anyone else in my place would have
arrested them and sent them to jail.
485
00:39:01,757 --> 00:39:04,385
They would have thought
of the next step after.
486
00:39:04,468 --> 00:39:09,973
But after four or five days,
we found the real offender.
487
00:39:10,057 --> 00:39:15,145
We feel proud
that the case was solved at our station.
488
00:39:16,063 --> 00:39:18,899
Don't go to their house.
I've warned the father and brother.
489
00:39:18,982 --> 00:39:22,277
I said I'd teach them a lesson
they won't forget if they bother you.
490
00:39:23,404 --> 00:39:28,075
Go now. Give the boy a better future.
491
00:39:29,243 --> 00:39:32,830
No, no. There's no need.
492
00:39:32,913 --> 00:39:36,041
Pray to God instead.
493
00:39:42,131 --> 00:39:43,340
Bye, sir.
494
00:39:57,604 --> 00:40:00,107
My children must be wondering
where their parents went.
495
00:40:00,691 --> 00:40:03,318
One is seven
and the other is eleven. Both boys.
496
00:40:05,279 --> 00:40:08,449
We were a happy family.
The four of us were like friends.
497
00:40:09,241 --> 00:40:12,536
We ate together, fed each other.
498
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:26,175
They're my world.
There's nothing without them.
499
00:40:27,843 --> 00:40:29,678
I don't know what I'll say to them.
500
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:35,809
My heart feels so heavy.
501
00:40:38,145 --> 00:40:41,482
I won't be able to face them now.
502
00:40:48,363 --> 00:40:49,948
In Rajiv Gandhi Nagar,
503
00:40:50,032 --> 00:40:52,451
under the jurisdiction
of Nandini Police Station,
504
00:40:52,534 --> 00:40:55,996
a 31-year-old man called Santhosh
505
00:40:56,079 --> 00:40:57,873
was found murdered
506
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:03,504
and stuffed in a gunnysack near his home.
507
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:12,721
The accused, Manju and his wife,
Savithri, were friends of the deceased.
508
00:41:13,722 --> 00:41:17,809
They say that Santhosh extorted
about 300,000 rupees from them.
509
00:41:17,893 --> 00:41:22,981
They said he was also demanding
sexual acts from Manju's wife.
510
00:41:23,565 --> 00:41:27,110
Last week, he demanded 30,000 rupees.
511
00:41:27,194 --> 00:41:30,030
He threatened to spread rumors
about the wife if he didn't pay.
512
00:41:30,113 --> 00:41:32,574
And that he would leak the private videos.
513
00:41:32,658 --> 00:41:36,578
He gave him a deadline
of two days to pay the money.
514
00:41:36,662 --> 00:41:39,540
The day of the murder was the deadline.
515
00:41:45,212 --> 00:41:48,382
It's rare that
I feel sympathy for the accused.
516
00:41:49,299 --> 00:41:52,719
But the reason
behind this murder is tragic.
517
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:58,892
They could've gotten justice
if they'd come to the police.
518
00:41:58,976 --> 00:42:02,688
But they tried to
avenge the injustice alone.
519
00:42:02,771 --> 00:42:03,981
And they messed it up.
520
00:42:08,193 --> 00:42:09,319
Baby?
521
00:42:10,946 --> 00:42:12,489
I'm home.
522
00:42:16,702 --> 00:42:17,828
Hi.
523
00:42:17,911 --> 00:42:19,788
Let's go out.
524
00:42:19,871 --> 00:42:22,457
Let's eat first. We can go out after.
525
00:42:23,917 --> 00:42:25,085
Come.
526
00:42:28,046 --> 00:42:34,052
I feel sad when I think of their children.
527
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,598
Where are you going?
528
00:42:39,808 --> 00:42:44,730
They're going to jail, so the children
will be deprived of both parents.
529
00:42:49,192 --> 00:42:50,819
I feel very sad about that.
530
00:43:11,506 --> 00:43:13,425
Emergency services, hello?
531
00:43:14,885 --> 00:43:18,805
Madam, someone's been murdered
in the house opposite mine.
532
00:43:19,973 --> 00:43:22,351
They're my neighbors.
533
00:43:29,066 --> 00:43:30,651
There's a boy in the house.
534
00:43:30,734 --> 00:43:32,235
Sir, please speak slowly.
535
00:43:33,612 --> 00:43:34,738
It's a lady.
536
00:43:35,530 --> 00:43:36,657
Okay.
537
00:43:36,740 --> 00:43:39,910
The boy on the ground floor
was screaming, "Mother, get up."
538
00:43:39,993 --> 00:43:42,204
When we went in,
there was blood everywhere.
539
00:43:42,287 --> 00:43:43,288
Okay.
540
00:43:43,372 --> 00:43:45,374
The bedroom is full of blood.
541
00:43:48,210 --> 00:43:50,128
-Where is it?
-Here, sir.
542
00:43:52,673 --> 00:43:53,840
Oh, my God!
543
00:43:59,221 --> 00:44:00,806
I've sent the crime team, sir.
544
00:44:00,889 --> 00:44:03,642
They're getting information
545
00:44:03,767 --> 00:44:07,604
from the neighbors.
546
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,983
I haven't handled a murder case before.
547
00:44:13,026 --> 00:44:14,695
The whole scene,
548
00:44:15,278 --> 00:44:21,410
the pool of blood, her disheveled clothes,
549
00:44:21,493 --> 00:44:24,454
all suggested that she'd struggled.
550
00:44:26,540 --> 00:44:30,544
I felt like she was murdered
by someone who knew her.
