People these days,
instead of looking for beauty and happiness from within,
are busy showing off and maintaining outward appearances.
They are unaware about
when this dissatisfaction will end.
Showing-off and selfishness can be seen in relationships as well,
whether it be husband-wife, mother and kids,
brother-sister, or even lovers.
The place of selfless love and feelings
has been taken by a strange barter system.
This barter system of give and take within relationships
has turned into a time bomb.
It is heading towards danger all the time.
There could be a blast at any time.
The shoes are looking nice, but…
I will have to change the top.
It is important to take the right step at the right time.
Because if we miss a step,
things may be out of our hands.
We may falter and fall on our face.
This is not just advice.
This is what I believe in.
I have experienced this.
It's about my past,
my present and the future.
LAKSHMI BUMPER LOTTERY
Nayanika, it's just a matter of a few days.
We'll have to close our lottery center and sit at home.
They will ask for money to renew the license.
Do you hear what I am saying?
There is only one solution.
Convince your brother and sister to take a loan against the house.
The Center is already facing losses.
You know what will happen if the license isn't renewed.
No one can stop me from getting the license.
Tell me, sir. Which lottery ticket should I give you?
Does anyone ever win a lottery?
Why not? People buy it because they win the lottery.
Tell me which one I should give you.
Daily, weekly, or monthly?
- Meaning? - It's a very simple procedure.
There are three kinds of tickets.
The results of the daily lottery come on the same day.
- And weekly… - In a week.
And monthly in a month. Am I right?
You are so smart.
You are absolutely right. So, tell me.
Which one should I give you?
Okay, fine. Give me a weekly ticket.
Your favorite number. I will try your luck.
Rs 700.
Okay, then. Bye, sir.
Come again.
Shivang, how come you are at home at this hour?
Did you come early from the office or did they fire you?
Nayanika, I had some important work. So I came back in a hurry.
Important work? For you?
The one who has to be in the office is at home.
And the one who has to be at home…
Where is she? Where is Pihu?
- When will she come? - Nayanika.
How come you're here all of a sudden?
Pihu, I've brought your favorite macher jhol.
The three of us will sit together and have dinner.
Come on, come quickly.
- Come on… - I'll change and come.
Go and put your clothes on.
Shivang, can't you serve yourself?
How long will you stay dependent on Pihu?
Serve yourself.
Uh… Nayanika. How come you planned for dinner today?
Mom had called
to remind me that she's getting married next week.
What happened, Pihu? What's the problem?
It's her life.
Doesn't she have the right to live happily?
Yes, of course. She has the right.
We also love Mom.
And we want her to be happy. But…
Mom has done so much for the three of us.
She has sacrificed so much.
Do you remember how Dad used to treat Mom?
He troubled her so much.
If Mom wants to be happy,
then we must support her.
Shivang. Where are you going?
Remember I told you I have something important to attend to?
- It's getting late. - Shivang.
He's having a meeting with the Prime Minister.
Never mind that.
Pihu, how is your job going on?
It's fine, Nayanika. I'm expecting a promotion next month.
Excellent.
By the way, Pihu…
There was something I wanted to discuss with you.
Nayanika, my stomach is full.
I think I'll fall asleep any minute.
- I'm going to sleep. - Pihu.
Okay, we can talk later.
But if Mom calls and invites you to the wedding, don't say no.
Okay?
I have to go. Bikram will come any minute.
- Take care of yourself. - You too.
Hello.
I'm leaving in five minutes.
Guys, I hope there won't be any problem.
- Is everything safe? - It's all safe.
There won't be any problem.
- What are you doing? No! - Shut up!
Come on, Bikram. What are you doing?
Yes, Shivang?
Actually, I forgot my house keys, Nayanika.
I've been ringing the doorbell, but Pihu is not opening the door.
I'm trying to call, but her phone is also not connecting.
Okay. So?
Is Pihu with you?
Is this the fish market?
Why would she come here?
Okay, then. I'll call the key maker.
Thank you, sir.
Pihu…
Pihu.
Pihu…
Pihu.
Shivang. Don't worry.
Pihu is not a kid.
Do one thing. Find out at her office.
Maybe she went to the office early.
I'm going to be late to open my store.
- I'll talk to you later. - Nayanika. I…
Ma'am… My sister, Pihu, is missing from last night.
I'm not able to reach her on the phone. I called her office too.
But I'm not able to find her.
Please do something.
Please calm down.
As per the rules, we can't file the FIR before 24 hours are up.
Twenty-four hours?
By then, God knows what will happen to my sister.
Ma'am, please understand.
My sister has never been out all night like this. Please help me.
What happened?
You said that your sister is missing from last night.
Where were you all night?
Sir, I was at my friend's house.
It got really late, so I slept there.
When I came home this morning…
Did you not speak to her even once during the night?
No, sir.
Varaiganj police station has posted this photo on the group, sir.
They found this body in the river nearby.
Pihu.
Sorry… But it's very important for us to know
why Pihu went 20 kilometers from here
to the city's Varaiganj border?
I mean, does anyone known to you
or your relatives live there?
- No… No one. - Didi.
Okay, did Pihu have a vehicle?
A two-wheeler or four-wheeler?
No.
Pihu…
Maybe she went there with someone known to her,
or went by public transport or a cab.
When no one known to her lives there,
why did she go there?
- Nayanika. - Mom.
Shivang.
- Mom. - What happened?
Where is Pihu? Where is Pihu?
- Mom. - What happened?
- Pihu… - Pihu is gone.
Mom, our Pihu is no more.
Pihu's postmortem report confirms that this is a murder, not suicide.
There are strangulation marks on her neck.
A cloth or stole was used to strangle her.
But the rape has not yet been confirmed.
The body is swollen because it was in the water for a long time.
But, sir, as per the reports, Pihu was sexually active.
She was murdered around 24 hours ago.
This means Pihu was first strangled and killed.
And then her body was thrown into the water.
Who could murder my child?
Who would have murdered her?
No… My darling.
- Oh, God. What has happened? - Kamini, please calm down.
If you become weak, who will handle Shivang and Nayanika?
Ghosh, the family is still in shock.
There's no point in talking now.
Do one thing. Get Pihu's call records checked until then.
And find out why Pihu went there and to meet whom.
Okay, sir.
Sir, Pihu was working as a sales executive with Arnav Builders.
She was a senior and quite hard-working.
She has a long list of clients too.
What about Pihu's phone and her call records?
We have not found her phone yet, but as per her call records,
her last call was made to her sister Nayanika.
There are no entries after this call, in the call records.
The last active location of her phone
was the same bridge where her body was found.
Were you able to find out how she reached the bridge?
No, sir. Not yet.
But, yes. We've found a clue which tells us it wasn't easy to kill her.
What's that?
She's uploaded some of her fitness videos on social media.
She was quite strong.
If Pihu was strangled,
then it wouldn't have been easy for the killer to control Pihu.
This proves one thing.
Either the killer was stronger than Pihu,
or there was more than one person involved in this murder.
As of now, we know that Pihu was last seen by Shivang and Nayanika.
And that too at their house.
Ghosh, let's start from their house.
Banerjee, check everything. Nothing must be left behind.
Check the full area. Including that side.
Sir, we did not find anything in Pihu's personal belongings.
Her mother was going to get married for the second time next week.
The daughter was murdered before that.
Doesn't it sound strange?
Sir, there's a store outside the house.
We can see Pihu in the CCTV footage of that shop.
Here is the footage.
Ghosh, get the CCTV footage from all the stores in this lane.
She wouldn't have come walking so far.
Neither would she have flown in.
She's definitely come by some vehicle.
Very good.
Excellent. That's good.
Keep it down.
Superb.
Now, flies. Okay?
I'll be back.
HELLO, MADAM. HOW ARE YOU? WILL YOU BE COMING TO THE GYM TODAY?
Pihu's message records
and social messaging app reveals that
she had hired a personal trainer named Aman.
She used to message him about six to seven times a day.
Aman?
Call him.
Sir, one day before she went missing,
I spoke to Pihu in the evening. She sounded very stressed.
She was not able to follow her fitness routine and diet.
Yes, madam. Tell me.
What all did you eat today?
Don't ask, Aman.
I ate all that I shouldn't have eaten.
I don't think I can do this, Aman.
Of course, you can. Why is it not possible?
You've eaten today, it's fine.
We will start again tomorrow.
What can I do?
I won't be able to come to the gym tomorrow.
Why?
I have some work.
Sir, she was regular at the gym. But sometimes, she would skip it.
I know she was disturbed,
but I can't even think of someone murdering her.
Was she disturbed?
Why?
Did she tell you anything?
- What did she tell you? - She didn't tell me in detail.
But something bad had happened to her.
Pihu ma'am.
Is everything okay?
Nothing is okay.
I feel okay until I work out here.
After that, I feel as if…
- As if… - Ma'am, please stop crying.
You can share it with me, if you feel okay.
Maybe your pain will reduce.
I have started
getting irritated with my body.
I feel disgusted with it.
I had to tolerate so much because of it.
Have you been wronged in any way?
Who was it?
Did you complain against him?
- No, I can't. - Why can't you?
Who is it that you can't complain against him?
You know what? I shouldn't have said anything.
Please don't tell anyone about it.
What happened after that?
After that, neither did I ask her about it, nor did she say anything.
But I've never faced
a situation like this in my life before.
I didn't know what to do.
I'm having my own set of problems.
My wife and I are in the midst of a divorce.
My brain was telling me not to invite any problems.
But it looks like I made a mistake.
A mistake that can never be rectified.
When did this happen?
Sir, maybe around a month ago.
Nayanika, manage the shop, I'll pay the advance and come.
I will also come with you.
My love, if you also come, who will manage the customers?
More tickets get sold when you are here.
Even the ones who don't want to buy, buy them.
Okay? I'll be back in one hour.
See you soon.
Hello.
Yes, Inspector?
We found out that around one month ago,
Pihu was sexually molested by someone.
Did you all know about this?
What?
Pihu never told us anything.
Why did you do this, Pihu?
Why didn't you tell us anything about it?
Sir, isn't this strange?
Pihu's gym trainer knew about what was happening to her.
But no one in her family knew about it.
Who could have been the one who was troubling Pihu?
Aman was saying that
Pihu did not want to make a police complaint.
Could it be possible that the molester was from her office?
And he was taking advantage of his position, money or something else.
Someone from the office can tell us about that.
Sir, Pihu was a star performer.
She was the one who sold the maximum number of flats.
I never heard about her having fights with anyone.
Okay, tell me
did Pihu have a boyfriend?
No.
I had never heard anything about a boyfriend.
But I did notice something one day.
Okay, my cab is here.
I'll catch you later. Bye, see you.
Pihu. Can you give me a lift, please?
Actually, I'm going in the opposite direction.
I'm also going in the same direction.
Actually, I'm not going home, but I'm going to my Masi's house.
Okay, come along.
You're going on a date, I see.
Nothing like that.
I have to attend a function.
Sir, Pihu used to never share much about her private life.
But I got a feeling that someone was there in her life.
Like a secret boyfriend.
As per the postmortem report, Pihu was sexually active.
And Priya says that she had a secret boyfriend.
If she had a secret boyfriend,
then she may have had a reason to keep her relationship a secret.
And if he is the killer,
then he's made a very concrete plan
that we did not get a single clue from the crime scene.
Yes, sir.
The body was dumped into water to erase the fingerprints.
The rape couldn't be confirmed as the semen sample was not found.
The question is, how did Pihu reach the bridge?
Did she take a lift from someone or take a cab?
Or did she go there with someone?
I have no idea, sir. We didn't get any footage from the CCTV.
And the cars we checked,
none of those cars were related to this case
as they didn't go towards the bridge.
Ghosh, the person who has planned all this so keenly
must've ensured to refrain from being in the records.
Perhaps he used a service road
or a shortcut to get to the bridge.
I am a human too. How much can I tolerate?
Office work, household chores and several other things!
I can't do it anymore.
Pihu, please don't say that.
What will I do if you say this?
Why do you think everything is about you?
All of you are the same.
All of you think about yourselves.
Tell me, what will you do without me?
I'll tell you. Without me,
you will learn to look after yourself.
- Yes, Ghosh. Tell me. - Sir, I've got some information.
Pradeep Sarkar had met Pihu before her mother.
- What! - Yes, sir.
Pihu sold two flats to him around two years ago.
Pradeep used to meet her regarding this.
Hi, sir. I am Pihu. Your RM.
According to your requirement,
I have shortlisted
two properties for you in this building.
You can check them out.
This one's our show home.
So, sir, as you can see, it's a brand new property.
We've got it's CC and OC.
So, you won't have to face issues while applying for a home loan.
Pihu, I want two flats, not one.
I'll fill out your documents.
Oh!
So, two years later, the same Pradeep Sarkar
wanted to marry Pihu's mother and become her father.
Take a look.
The file of that deal.
I have arranged for 800,000.
But what's the use of so much money?
I don't think anything is possible now.
My sister has passed away. Why do you look upset?
If it's not your cup of tea,
I will manage it by myself.
I want the tender
at any cost.
What will you do? How will you get so much money?
Do I still have to tell you what I am capable of doing?
Huh? This 800,000 is here because of me.
I will do anything for the rest.
Anything at all!
Nayanika, collecting so much money
will require a bigger plan.
It might lead to jail, as well.
It is a lottery business.
It's not about selling flowers before a temple.
I've taken many risks so far.
One more will get added to it.
Do you remember the target? Three years.
Disappear with everything in three years.
For that, it's okay if you support me.
But it's all right if you don't, as well.
Give me all the updates. Okay?
- Jai Hind, sir! - Jai Hind, Ghosh!
Sir, I've got the information about her family.
I found that a key to Pihu's house
is with the real estate agent
so he can sell it.
Yes, sir.
- Who gave it? - Pihu's elder sister, Nayanika.
When did she give the key to the agent?
Three days before Pihu's murder.
But the house is in the name of all three.
How can she sell it alone?
Why does she want to sell it?
Her lottery business is at a loss, sir.
There's no margin in that.
On top of that, she has to pay GST.
Also, she needs a lot of money to renew her license.
But she cannot sell the house alone.
She needs Pihu and Shivang's permission.
Shivang was not in her way.
Then, was Pihu in her way?
Ghosh!
I want information about Nayanika and her husband's whereabouts
on the night of the death.
And yes.
Find out everything about the loss of her business.
When someone's business is not doing well,
how can she roam around with so much gold?
The three of us didn't have a good childhood.
Dad would ill-treat Mom.
That is why they used to fight a lot.
Perhaps that is why Mom had an affair.
Later, we found out she had
many affairs.
Dad had no problem with that
because he only wanted Mom's money.
Then, one day, Mom left Dad's house
with the three of us and divorced him.
She used all her savings to buy this house
and transferred it to our name.
Alongside, she was on a quest to find a person
who would respect and value her
and would be wealthy.
And you?
What did you want?
What could I want?
I can't deal
with my sexual identity even now.
In our entire family,
Pihu was the only sorted one.
Everything was clear for her.
You were very close to Pihu.
Still, you didn't know anything about her relationship status.
No.
She didn't tell me anything about it.
She was focused on her future and career.
She knew what she wanted from her life.
That's something I don't know yet.
You know what?
You don't want to face the truth.
You know, right? That Pihu had been molested,
and she couldn't tell her family.
What do you think about Nayanika?
She
was the most different among the three of us.
She only wanted money.
That is why she married Bikram,
as he had a lot of ancestral properties.
They sold that to start the lottery business.
Nayanika knows how to make money.
Still, her business is at a loss,
and she needs money. Right?
I don't want to go against her,
but she fought a lot one day.
I am your older sister.
You both can stay with me.
I will be delighted.
But Nayanika, we have our house.
So, why will we live with you?
That's because I need money.
This area will soon get a metro.
Imagine selling this house.
We'll get so much money.
You both will have money.
So, you can buy a new house anywhere.
If you still have some left after that,
you can invest in our business.
Then you can collect your profit.
Sorry, Nayanika. I won't accept this.
It means you can make your siblings homeless for your work.
Will you stoop so low for money?
Have you no shame?
I have no shame?
I'll sell this house even if I have to kill you for it.
- Didi. Leave her! - Didi!
That's what Didi is like.
She is short-tempered!
So, only Pihu was against selling the house.
You had agreed. Right?
That is why three agents had the house keys.
I don't know anything about it.
Ghosh.
Find out Nayanika's background, financial details and everything.
There's something about her
that nobody knows.
Come, sir.
Sir, the local police said they found Pihu's body there.
Sir, Pihu weighed around 50-60 kgs.
So, we've made a dummy body.
That weighs approximately the same.
Okay. Let's get the body and recreate the crime.
Sir, Pihu came in the car with them like this.
Then she was brought here.
Pihu was heavy. They might have put her body down for a bit,
and then lifted her up and threw her down.
There are many settlements a little far from here. So,
a trespasser must've heard or seen something.
Someone must've seen something.
Superb!
Such heavy weights?
Did you only eat protein at the seminar buffet yesterday?
Your arms have become of steel.
It's not steel.
It's a sword that I will use to behead him next time.
As in?
Nothing.
Sir, she had a seminar a month ago.
That day, someone had molested Pihu.
I didn't understand what she meant back then.
But I get it now.
Sir.
Pihu uploaded a post on social media around a month ago.
One month ago, she attended
a seminar at Hotel Fountain.
Take a look, sir.
Yes, sir. She's the girl.
One man tried to molest her.
How can you think so ill of me?
You're a part of our family now.
Pihu, you're the apple of my eye.
That's not all.
You're on my mind and in my heart.
I want you.
I only want you, my Pihu.
I didn't kill her, sir.
I am telling the truth, sir.
You have been after her for the last month.
You would go to her house at random times.
Look.
Did you see that? Start talking now.
- Talk! - Pihu was in my heart, sir.
She was always on my mind.
I went to her house that day, sir.
But I only went there to convince her.
You!
You're marrying my mother.
Yet, you're standing here!
Listen to me, Pihu.
Listen to me. Nobody will know anything.
Please listen to me, Pihu.
Shameless!
You killed her as she was not ready.
And after killing her, you threw her in the water.
No, sir. Her rejection
had shattered me, sir.
I stopped leaving my house.
Then, finally,
to exact my revenge on her,
I moved the wedding forward from a month to a week,
so she would be compelled
to see my face daily.
This one's not my first case.
I've seen many like you.
We will find out the truth.
"I didn't do anything," he says!
Sir, listen!
We've got a lead, sir.
A case was filed in the same area's local police station
on the night of the murder.
PSI Jagat filed that case.
Same area, same night!
Three boys between 18 and 20 years old
were arrested for rash driving.
They were released after three days of remand.
Same area, same night!
Is this a coincidence, or is it related to our case?
Ghosh, I want to meet these boys immediately.
What was the name of that officer?
PSI Jagat.
Call him to meet me.
It was a rash driving case, sir. There were three.
A casualty was possible but didn't take place.
So, I detained them in the lock-up
for three days to teach them a lesson.
- Sir, we've not done anything. - Sir, we've not done anything.
- Sir, please let us go.
Sir, we've not done anything.
Look at them.
They're pretending to be innocent and decent,
but they aren't.
They are rapists and murderers!
Sir, I've checked their call records.
Their location that night is the same as the bridge
where the girl was raped, killed, and her body was found the next day.
Charge all of them with rape and murder!
Sir, please believe us.
Sir, we've not killed or raped anyone.
Do you think
we will believe your rash driving story?
Sir, that night…
Whose jalopy is that?
It's making so much noise.
We weren't intoxicated yet.
But he ruined what had just begun.
- Hey, police! - Where did the police come from?
Sir, please, sir!
- Sir! - What's going on here?
Nothing, sir.
Yes.
Drug party.
Sir, we were detained for three nights.
Our parents bribed them.
Hence, the drug charges
were replaced by rash driving charges.
Then, we were released.
Finally, we've got three eyewitnesses.
These boys could be lying, sir.
They were intoxicated that night.
They are not history sheeters, Ghosh, that they'll lie so easily.
The boys couldn't see clearly as they were intoxicated.
Had these boys given us a lead,
we wouldn't have to rely on the sound of a jalopy.
So now, we need to find the car
which was around the location that night or crossed it…
It might have a faulty clutch plate, as well.
Yes, certainly.
Find out if any car had its clutch plate fixed
since the night of the murder.
Or if any such car was sold.
Sir, we're back to square one.
As in?
We had assigned someone to spy on Nayanika.
He has shared some information.
Your suspicions are confirmed. She is clever.
Everyone knows that her business is at a loss.
But she has invested plenty of money
in a flat and gold that nobody knows about.
There's one more thing, sir.
Recently, Nayanika's husband, Bikram, sold off his car.
It was not working well and would make a lot of noise.
Oh, inspector sir? You're here.
My business is already at a loss.
My customer left in front of you.
If people see the police over here,
it will ruin our reputation.
You have saved a lot of money.
You have a house and gold.
You can use that to recover your loss.
You wanted to sell your siblings' home despite having so much money.
You had threatened Pihu by strangling her once.
You went home that day.
She refused to sell the house.
Then, you fought with her after Shivang left.
No, sir.
I had left.
Pihu was my sister.
Why would I kill her?
Then, you had her killed.
No, sir.
Why did your husband sell his car suddenly?
That car had not been working for a long time.
Where is he? Did you tell him to escape?
No. He's gone out for the tender.
He'll return in a few days.
Did he go to another planet?
Because his phone is unreachable. It is switched off.
No. He's gone to Bangkok
with a government officer.
Ghosh, her husband, is absconding.
Before his wife absconds,
gather evidence against them.
Find out whether Nayanika and her husband, Bikram,
went near the bridge on that night.
- Okay, sir. - And yes.
If you don't get evidence,
ask all the garages in this city,
if needed, whether a jalopy was sold
or if a clutch plate was repaired.
But, sir, that will take a lot of time.
Yes, so? Let it take time.
Sir, after checking 3,000 garages, I didn't find Bikram's car,
but I learnt about another one.
Who does that car belong to?
The one posing to be an angel
turned out to be the devil.
Speak up!
Why did you kill Pihu?
Tell me, why did you kill Pihu, Amanullah Khan?
Speak up!
Sir, I'll tell you.
She was after me.
Aman, when are we getting married?
We'll marry soon.
I've heard that several times.
I don't want to hear anything else now. Okay?
We're getting married the day after tomorrow. That's it.
- The day after? - Yes.
On the day after tomorrow!
So, it was your third marriage,
as you've already
married these two.
No, sir. It was his fourth marriage.
He divorced his first wife already.
The other two wives don't know anything about each other.
Forget about each other.
Those poor girls don't know about Pihu, either.
But Pihu found out the truth.
- Sir… - That's why he killed her.
Isn't that why you killed her?
Sir, Pihu knew about my marriage.
But had she found out about my other two wives,
she would've ruined my career.
That is why I planned to kill her.
- Shall we go? - Yes.
You remember we're getting married tomorrow. Right?
Of course!
I've arranged for everything.
It is a surprise for you.
Hi, Aman.
Er, Pihu, he is my friend.
He will get off ahead. So, can you please sit behind?
Okay.
Hey… Hey, leave…
Shut up!
Hey… Shut up!
What Aman, huh?
I'm sick of your constant nagging about marriage.
Aman.
Hey, have fun with her.
What are you doing?! Leave me!
Beat him up!
There were no green flags in Pihu and Aman's relationship.
Pihu was well aware
that Aman had been married before.
Still, she pressured him to marry her.
Despite the pressure,
Aman avoided it for many years.
Such relationships never end well.
Pihu had witnessed such examples in her house.

Pihu was also searching
for love, security and emotional intimacy.
She thought Aman was the end of her quest.
She pressured Aman into marriage.
It ended with Pihu losing her life.
Neither did she take lessons nor give it a thought.
Never did she pay attention to what was wrong.
The Aman, she thought was her medicine
took her life like poison.
