A FEW DAYS BEFORE
Oh! Whose car is that?
It's been here since morning.
RAHUL BANK MANAGER
Hey! Keep the box down!
Keep the box down, or I will shoot you.
Hey! Stop there, or I'll shoot.
Nobody will move.
Hands up and kneel!
Stop!
Nobody move.
Hey! Don't move.
Don't move!
Listen. What you're doing is wrong.
What you are doing is wrong. Put down the gun.
You won't believe me without the trailer.
He aimed at his chest.
The attacker could have aimed at his hand or leg.
The bullet has gone through.
It means the bullet was fired from close range.
He fell here.
Perhaps…
the bullet was fired from this area.
- Pankaj, find the bullet over there. - Sir!
Nobody will go anywhere until our enquiry is over.
Everyone, go inside. All of you!
Go inside.
Are you the deputy manager of this bank?
Yes, ma'am. I'm Sonali Kumar.
We need the CCTV footage of the incident.
Yes, sir. I'll get it for you.
Rakesh?
Poorvi,
ask the traffic control room to send footage of the signals here.
What do you think? Who might be behind this?
I cannot imagine who would do such a terrible thing.
Try to remember if a customer
got upset about something recently.
Or if you had to lay off an employee?
No, sir. None of that has happened.
- Sir, here's the CCTV footage. - Play it.
It's absolutely wrong. Lower the gun.
Wait a minute. Rewind and zoom.
Zoom a little more.
If the security guard was on the ground
and the manager was not holding a gun,
why did he fire without a reason?
That's something to ponder over.
Okay. Tell me more about Rahul.
What was his behavior like? What sort of a person was he?
Sir, I don't know much about him
because he recently transferred here from Jabalpur.
Everyone was happy with him.
Nobody had a problem with him.
No, someone had a problem.
That's why he was shot.
Perhaps the shooter was a crazy criminal.
That's why he shot.
Who is Rahul's family?
He was living with his brother and sister-in-law here.
Did you see the robber's face?
The one who fired the bullet?
No, sir. His face was covered with a mask, sir.
I don't know who he was or where he came from.
He came like a storm, shot our manager,
kept all the money in a covered car, and sped off.
This person had researched well.
He has covered the car so well
that the tires and license plate aren't visible.
It was done so he could not be traced easily.
Poorvi, do one thing.
Prepare a list of everyone who have taken a hefty loan
from this bank and are at default.
The tire marks! One,
that's two.
This one's three.
Sir, every car has four tires.
There should be four marks.
There are only three here. One, two, and three.
Did they come in a rickshaw?
Okay. How much money was looted from the bank?
Sir, eight million rupees.
Eight million rupees?
You might have the serial numbers of those notes. Right?
Yes, sir. I can get it.
We want those.
Pankaj, such marks are visible when the tires are brand new.
It means three tires were new,
and this one was old and bald.
We must find out which company manufactures tires of this pattern.
Sir, here's the list of bank defaulters.
It has the names of those customers who have not paid for instalments.
Oh!
The robber's names
could be on this list.
Perhaps.
We must keep a close eye on anyone who starts paying
instalments from next month
or pays off his loan in one go.
Hmm. He would be our prime suspect.
Poorvi?
Find out where these defaulters were
at the time of the crime.
- Okay? - Sir!
Sir, this is the first signal
after the car leaves the bank, Mangalnagar.
We can see the car in which
the criminal left the bank.
After Mangalnagar's signal
- is Santoshpur's signal. - Yes, sir.
This signal is 500 meters ahead.
But we didn't see the car here.
It means the criminal is hiding between these two signals.
Sir, we did a search of the area between these two signals.
But there is no hideout.
Neither did we find an abandoned car there.
He might have
taken off the cover of his car between these signals
and passed through the next signal
without a cover.
Maybe, sir.
Did you find a CCTV camera
between these two signals?
No, sir.
Abhijeet,
after looting eight million rupees from the bank,
the bank manager was killed.
This seems like a murder case
disguised as a bank robbery.
- Sir! - Huh?
Sir, I've found out about the tires.
Sir, we found some marks outside the bank.
- Okay. - The Logo company
makes tires with similar tread marks.
How many tire shops in that area
sell the tires of this company?
Sir, there are four tire shops in a radius of 30 kilometers.
Three of those are national chains, sir.
So, buying a tire from there must've been risky for the criminal.
But there is an auto and tire workshop, sir.
He might have them.
Go and check it out. Daya?
Abhijeet,
go see Rahul's family.
Talk to them.
See if you can get something.
Have you done the balancing? Have you done it correctly?
Yes. Come, sir.
Come, sir.
Tell me, sir.
- Do you want to buy a new car? - No.
Oh! So, do you want to sell your car?
No, man!
Then, what brings you here, sir?
Do you sell tires of this design?
Yes, sir. These are Logo tires.
We have their agency. Take a look.
Did someone ask you to install three tires of this design recently?
Are you joking, sir?
Are you drunk?
I meet several customers daily.
Will I maintain records for each of them?
How can I give you details of everyone? Nonsense!
Still,
try to remember. You might recall something.
Sir, you're forcing me now.
What will you do if I don't tell you?
If you don't tell me,
I will have to show you some hospitality. Huh?
What do you mean?
- It means we are from CID. - CID?
We're investigating a robbery.
You might have to go to jail if you don't cooperate with us.
- Jail? - Yes.
No, sir. I remember now.
Around
three days ago, a customer took these.
Do you remember it now? What does he look like?
Uh, the details are there. I'll let you know.
Okay.
Sir, I have the details of the bank defaulters.
None of them were around the bank at the time of the crime.
Oh!
That path is shut.
Please forgive me.
We know this time is hard for you.
It's sad, but…
we need to question you.
- You? - We are from CID.
We…
need some information about Rahul's murder.
Sir, I sold these tires to a woman.
A woman?
Oh! What did she look like?
She belonged to a decent family.
Her height must be around five feet two.
She had a fair complexion and long hair.
How did she pay? Cash or card?
She used her credit card, sir. Here's the bill.
That girl's name is Mehak.
A man robbed the bank.
It means he stole Mehak's car
and used it to rob the bank.
Mehak must've filed a report if her car was stolen.
Let's meet Mehak. She will tell us what happened.
Yes, sir.
Let's get her address from the credit card statement.
What do you think? Why did this happen?
Who could've killed Rahul?
Rahul didn't have enemies.
He had recently moved to the city.
It can be an enemy from Jabalpur
who followed him here.
No.
He didn't have
any problems there, either.
In fact, he used to live alone.
Forget enmity. He didn't even have friends.
I tried introducing him to many friends,
to get him married if he liked someone.
But our Rahul was so shy
he couldn't talk to them well.
My brother was a kind man.
Please don't spare the person
who has done this.
Stay strong.
We will find him.
Try to remember
how Rahul was behaving
lately.
Did he seem stressed about something?
He was talking to someone on the phone three weeks ago.
His mood seemed terrible.
Look. You better not talk to me about things illogically.
Do you even know her history?
Four years is not insignificant.
Okay. I'll talk to you later.
He ignored the question when I asked him.
Okay.
We'll go for now.
We'll meet you again if needed.
Something happened four years ago that Rahul is paying for now.
Yes, sir.
Tuktuk cafe?
Let's drink some coffee.
MEHAK'S HOUSE
What happened? Is her number unreachable?
No, sir.
- I'll try again. - Yes.
Ma'am, you should know that you must type ten digits
to call someone.
You've only pressed eight digits.
Isn't your daughter's number stored on your phone?
- No, actually… - I've told you.
It's a robbery of eight million rupees.
The bank's manager was killed.
Perhaps your daughter, Mehak, was involved.
My daughter would never do that.
Then, why is she not here? Why is she hiding?
I wish we knew
where our daughter was.
No!
I cannot stay silent now.
What is going on?
Will either of you say something?
Mehak is not here, sir.
Actually, someone
kidnapped her a month ago.
What!
Someone kidnapped her a month ago.
Didn't you file a police report?
We were scared, sir. The kidnappers had threatened us
that if we told the police,
they would kill Mehak and us.
Start from the beginning. What happened?
When and where was she kidnapped?
Mehak went on a trip
with her friends during the weekend.
She…
had an argument with Satish over the phone while she was there.
- Who is Satish? - Her fiancé.
Fiancé?
She argued with Satish on the phone.
- After that? - After that,
Mehak became upset.
Then,
she went to Lonavala alone in her car.
That's it.
We haven't heard anything from her since then.
Three days ago,
the kidnappers
sent us Mehak's ring.
It has Mehak's blood on it.
Did the kidnapper demand anything?
Money or something else?
No, sir.
That's strange, sir.
They kidnapped her and didn't ask for a ransom.
Sir, they are dangerous.
Please save our daughter.
Please, don't worry. We'll find her.
What happened to Mehak's car?
We don't know that, sir. Even that was not found.
It means Mehak's car was used for the bank robbery.
Maybe.
Give us Satish's address.
We need to know the reason behind their argument,
which disturbed Mehak to this extent.
Are you Satish,
Mehak's fiancé?
Do you recognize it?
Sir, I had slid this ring on Mehak's finger
during our engagement.
Pink is her favorite color.
So, I had this stone set.
But, sir, I cannot tell you anything more than that.
It will put her life in danger, sir.
Why? Don't you want Mehak to return?
I want that, sir.
Then, cooperate with us instead of fearing the kidnappers.
Okay, sir. Ask me.
Where is Mehak's car?
We have not found Mehak's car ever since she went missing.
I feel
the kidnappers are behind it.
That car was used in a bank robbery.
Eight million rupees were stolen.
Eight million!
I am sure the kidnappers are behind it, sir.
Sir, why would kidnappers rob a bank?
They will ask her parents for money.
But, sir, you said that eight million rupees were stolen.
From where would Mehak get that much money?
Sir, her parents don't have excessive wealth.
Okay. Tell me one thing.
What did you and Mehak fight over before she was kidnapped?
The reason behind our fight was very silly, sir.
Then, tell us what it was. Let us know it, too.
Sir, we fought about
where to go for our honeymoon.
She wanted to go to Europe.
But it seemed like an unnecessary expense to me.
So, I told her that we'd visit some place in India.
That's it?
Did she fight with you over this and then went to Lonavala?
Sir, that's her nature.
She gets upset about trivial things.
But I feel it was my mistake.
Had I convinced her at that time,
she wouldn't have gone anywhere
and wouldn't have gotten kidnapped.
Did the kidnappers contact you?
They didn't.
They only contacted her parents, sir.
Sir, the kidnappers contacted Mehak's parents
but didn't ask for money.
They didn't even contact him.
Then, why did they kidnap her?
Pankaj, this is not a kidnapping case.
It's something else.
Come.
- Namaste, sir. - Yeah.
Sir, he's the man
who used the stolen money to pay the bill.
We were told
to inform you if we get notes of with these serial numbers.
You've done a great job.
Mr. Rohan?
How do you know my name?
That's not all.
We know much more that can cause you grave problems.
How can you talk to me like that?
Yes, a criminal
who robbed BP Bank yesterday
and killed the manager.
How can you accuse me baselessly?
- Who are you? - CID.
Now, if your mind is cleared of all the fog,
check these notes.
You cleared this hotel's bill using these notes.
This means that the cafe's manager has ratted me out.
Forget about that.
Tell me, how did you get these notes?
These notes were stolen from the bank yesterday.
Do you think I am so foolish
that I will rob the bank one day and spend it the following day?
You don't look foolish enough to keep from us the name of the man
who gave you these notes.
I won these notes in cricket.
Which game gives you so many notes upon becoming the man of the match?
I…
had bet on cricket.
I gambled
and won.
How would I know where they got these notes from?
Gambling! I hope you know it's illegal.
Yes, sir.
That's my only crime.
I've not robbed a bank or killed anyone.
Okay.
Give us the address of the gambling area.
Hey! Police!
Run, everyone.
Hey!
Come on.
Hey! You've earned enough money by gambling.
It's time to return the money with interest. Come on.
Come on. Start talking.
Where did you get the eight million that was looted from the bank?
- Eight million? - Yes.
Some of those notes with the serial numbers
came into the market from here.
Sir, we got a payment of only 500,000.
And we sent the payment forward, sir.
- Who gave you the money? - We don't know their name,
but yes, the one who placed the bet
was different from the one who gave money.
You took the money without asking the name?
Only the money mattered.
The one who made the bet lost.
He sent the money through someone,
we just accepted it.
We can accept that you took the money without knowing the name,
but it's tough to accept that you placed the bet,
without knowing the name.
Tell us quietly, otherwise, you'll be done for.
Yes, sir. I remember his name.
His name was Rahul.
Rahul?
Pankaj.
Hey! Was it him?
Yes, sir. This was the same man
who placed a bet for 500,000.
Yes, sir. He sent a girl
who gave us 500,000.
Could it be Mehak?
Did she stage her own kidnapping?
Pankaj.
- Was it this girl? - Sir, we could not see her face.
Her face was covered with a stole.
Boss, this was Rahul's master plan.
He wanted to pay back the money that he lost
in this cricket betting.
Whatever we know about Rahul,
there seems to be more things hidden about him.
Sir, I don't understand,
instead of finding the murderer
why are you searching Rahul's belongings?
We might find a clue that'll help us get to the killer.
- Was Rahul interested in crick… - Pankaj.
- No, nothing. - Tell us, please.
Are you hiding anything from us?
Uh… This… Was Rahul interested in cricket?
Because he has subscribed to several magazines.
Sir. Look at this.
Look at what Rahul has written in his diary.
"Put the gun down."
"You're not doing the right thing."
"You will get caught."
He's written the time and date of that day in this diary,
when the bank was robbed.
He's written the amount too. "Eight million."
He's also written down the dialogue of what was said.
One thing is confirmed. Rahul was behind this robbery.
And he fell into the pit of crime that he dug
when his partner in crime cheated him and shot him.
Sir, what are you saying?
- You're accusing my dead brother. - Is it?
Then why has he written the time and date of the robbery in this diary?
Did he want to tell anyone anything? Or did he predict the future?
Sir, we are sure someone is trying to trap Rahul.
He would never do anything wrong.
Sir, find the criminal.
He was the manager of such a big bank.
Can anyone trap him so easily?
Every criminal's family justifies this. The truth will be out.
Let's recap this case once.
Isn't it?
What are you doing here? You should be resting at home.
Sir, I'm fine.
- Are you okay? - Yes, sir.
Okay, then.
So, a robbery takes place in Bharat Peninsula Bank.
The robber is a masked man
who enters this bank…
shoots the bank manager, Rahul
And escapes with the entire money from the bank.
And the car that the robber escapes in
belongs to a girl
who was kidnapped one month ago.
And then we find another clue
which revealed
a cricket-betting crime.
I can't understand.
Betting.
Four different crimes are connected to this case.
Let's assume
that the bank manager Rahul,
was the mastermind of this entire robbery.
Rahul. Why would he have done this bank robbery?
I'm sure he lost money
while betting on cricket.
To repay the money, he must have staged this robbery.
He must have taken a partner along
or hired a professional criminal.
It must be a professional criminal.
Rahul would have given him all the details
about when the ATM van will come into the bank
and the amount of money that will go out of the bank.
But this hired criminal cheated Rahul
and killed him and escaped with the money.
Sir, whoever he was, he was very decent.
He repaid Rahul's betting money.
500,000 rupees.
If he didn't do that, the gang would hunt him down.
Sir, even if we assume that Mehak has done all this,
but she's not a professional criminal for Rahul to seek help from her.
Is it possible that Mehak's kidnapper
and the criminal who killed Rahul
are the same?
That's possible, boss.
That's why Mehak's car was used in the bank robbery.
Avni.
I told you to find out about Satish.
What did you find out?
When Mehak was kidnapped, Satish's phone location was Mumbai.
What about the fight that happened between these two?
Sir, even that is absolutely correct.
The messages between them were about where to go for the honeymoon.
Sir, Satish has an import-export business.
And we checked his background. It was clean.
It doesn't look like he could be behind Mehak's disappearance.
It's also possible that Mehak is just pulling a fast one on us.
She staged her kidnapping drama
and conducted this crime in the guise of the kidnapping.
It's possible.
Maybe the kidnapping video is also fake.
Let's look at the video once again.
Please let me go. I promise I won't tell anyone anything.
Please let me go. Please.
Please…
Avni, hold on. Pause it.
Rewind it.
Play it again.
Please let me go.
I promise I won't tell anyone anything.
Please let me go… Please.
Huh! I can
hear the strange sounds of some birds.
Avni, pause it.
Listen to me.
Can you enhance the audio or increase the sounds?
Only the sounds.
Please let me go.
I promise I won't tell anyone anything.
Please let me go… Please.
Please.
There is some bird, Abhijeet.
Vulture, sir.
It sounds like a vulture.
Mehak has been tied up in a place
where there are many vultures flying.
It's an isolated place.
Outside the city
in the forest, where there are animal corpses.
Or maybe a slaughterhouse.
The place where the waste from a slaughterhouse is thrown,
vultures hover around there too.
Play ahead.
Avni, hold on. Freeze it.
There's a wrapper on the floor near
Mehak's right shoulder, where she's sitting. Zoom in on that.
Some more. A little more.
Tasty Snacks.
Sir, looks like they ordered something to eat here.
Sir, Tasty Snacks makes excellent samosas.
They do?
We thought you were on a diet.
Why do you keep reminding me?
Pankaj,
find out from Tasty Snacks,
based on the time and date of this video,
where the deliveries were made. Quick.
One minute.
Yes, tell me.
Asmita… Okay.
Which one?
- Sir. - Yes, Pankaj.
Sir, the delivery boy from Tasty Snacks
had delivered at a run-down place
which is near a slaughterhouse.
Near the slaughterhouse?
A run-down place?
Why would anyone order food in a ruined place?
There is something wrong here.
Something is seriously wrong here.
Looks like, the problem is in this run-down place.
- Go and check. - Yes, sir.
Poorvi.
You won't go.
Until you are not fully okay,
you will sit in the office.
Yes, speaking.
Ma'am, I don't need any car loans.
And please delete my number.
Mehak's car.
One second.
Let me check Mehak's license plate in the RTO database.
I might find some tickets or penalties.
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE CENTRE E-TICKET DEPARTMENT
There are so many tickets
for parking violations for this car.
And on just one location.
Let me go and check.
The ACP lead has told me not to go.
But I can do at least this much.
Maybe it will help in solving this case.
Let me go.
Found it. Mehak's car.
- Hello. - Ma'am, this is Poorvi from CID.
We have found Mehak's car.
What? Did you find Mehak's car?
What about my Mehak? How is she?
We've not found Mehak. But please don't worry.
We will find her soon.
Ma'am, I found a silver chain in her car.
I will send you a photo of it.
Can you please check and tell me if it's hers.
It cannot be Mehak's chain.
- Why? - Because Mehak is allergic to silver.
That's why she never wears silver jewelry.
Maybe it belongs to her friend.
Maybe Satish will know who the chain belongs to.
Satish.
This house looks deserted.
Maybe the kidnapper kept Mehak here.
And sir, there are so many vultures here.
Let's go and check inside.
Sir…
A severed finger.
Could it be Mehak's?
I hope they've not harmed Mehak.
Let's check inside.
Yes, ma'am. You?
- CID. - Please come in, ma'am.
Ma'am, any news about Mehak?
We've not found anything about Mehak, but we found her car.
Okay,
look at this silver necklace. Do you recognize it?
Mehak is allergic to silver.
Do you have any pictures of Mehak with you?
With her friends or girlfriends?
Maybe someone was wearing this necklace.
Yes, I have some photos. They are on the laptop.
Please sit, ma'am. I'll bring them.
Poorvi, ma'am.
Poorvi, ma'am…
These CID officers are like mosquitoes.
Not only do they suck the criminal's blood,
but they keep buzzing in our ears all the time.
Tell me, Ms. Poorvi,
how did it help you to get in the way of my work? Huh?
Okay, now let's mislead your CID friends
with the help of your phone.
Otherwise, they will also come here, after sniffing the evidence.
Boss, looks like the kidnapper took Mehak to some other place.
And the chair, rope, and Mehak's severed finger…
Doesn't look like Mehak's involved in this.
Yes, Avni.
Hello, sir. I came to the bureau to get some details.
I can't find Poorvi. She's not answering her phone either.
Avni, put Poorvi's phone on surveillance.
Find out where her phone is right now.
Avni.
Did you find out anything about Poorvi?
No, sir.
How could not find out anything? You should know something.
Did you check her computer?
Check what she looked at last, on her computer.
Poorvi checked Mehak's car's details on the traffic database.
And she's found that car, sir.
Did she find the car?
Poorvi has gone alone to investigate this matter.
I told her not to move from here.
Her life is in danger.
We have to save Poorvi.
Wake up.
Looks like you've struggled a lot.
You were Rahul's partner, right?
Bank robbery and cricket betting.
Were they your plans?
Don't equate both of us madam.
Cricket betting is my hobby.
Is it?
Sir, Poorvi's phone location shows the truck that's ahead of us.
- Get down. - Get down.
Sir, what have I done?
Open it. Open it quickly.
- Sir, what have I done? - We'll find out.
Stand here, quietly. Stand here.
Sir, Poorvi's phone.
Poorvi's phone.
How did this get in your truck?
I don't know where it came from, sir.
I'm asking you one last time,
- tell me where it came from. - I have no idea, sir.
Won't you tell me?
Look, you're not doing a good thing.
Untie me.
Mehak must be somewhere in this house.
This looks like a human finger.
Mehak?
This means… This means…
Satish staged Mehak's kidnapping,
then killed her and buried her here.
NOW
Sir, Poorvi's phone has travelled from Satish's house.
What?
Look at this, Poorvi's gun.
Oh, she's somewhere nearby.
Help… Help.
Help!
The sound is coming from the basement.
Help me.
Poorvi.
Stop! Easy…
Move back. Go on.
- I'll send you to Lord Yamraj. - Hey.
Move back.
Everyone move back, or I will shoot her.
I tried to introduce him to a few of my friends.
So that he likes someone and gets married.
But our Rahul was so reserved
that he couldn't even talk to them properly.
- Who did all this? - The CID officer.
She's still in the basement. Untie me.
Put down the gun.
- Shall I shoot her? - Listen to me.
- Go back. - Lower your gun, please.
- Listen to me. - Go back.
- Lower the gun. - Back off or I'll shoot.
- Let go. - Purvi!
Let me go.
The plan to steal eight million from the bank was yours.
Rahul was also a part of it.
And you killed Rahul?
Sir, it was not my plan to kill Rahul.
It was her plan. Kanchan's.
If he didn't park the car there, we would never have gotten caught.
You also had to leave your chain in the car, right?
Greed for money overtook relationships.
A sister-in-law killed her husband.
Sir, he had become dishonest.
Look at that. Even thieves are talking about loyalty.
Sir, the hard work was ours.
The planning was ours. We were taking the risk.
To give out some information from the bank,
he was asking for an equal share.
Oh, wow.
So you both wanted to keep the entire loot, is that it?
How did you meet?
And how did you come up with this plan?
Speak.
We met at the gambling house.
Four years ago, Rahul also used to go regularly.
He wanted to repay his loan and we wanted to earn money.
I'm addicted to gambling.
I did not have money,
but many big matches were lined up.
When I told Kanchan about this,
she suggested that we do a big heist.
Maybe rob a bank.
Both of you and Rahul planned to rob the bank, right?
Then why did you stage
your fiancé Mehak's kidnapping?
And later on, murdered her too.
I loved Mehak dearly.
I did not want to kill her, sir.
But she overheard my entire plan.
She wanted me to cancel this plan of robbing the bank.
I had no choice but to kill her.
So that I don't get blamed for the murder,
I set up this drama of kidnapping.
Sir, how could we cancel the plan?
We were going to bet eight million and make 80 million from it.
Eighty million.
You can place your bets from a jail cell.
Take them away.
