And this is not going to be a funny video.
We're filming this video in a bungalow
deep in the dense forests of Nashik,
where nothing seems right as of now.
It's believed that those who come
to this bungalow are never seen again.
But today, my teammates and I
are risking our lives
to shoot this exclusive footage for you,
which is sure to leave you speechless.
- What's wrong, Disha? - Raj, there's blood on the floor.
This is not blood, Disha, how do you know it's blood?
Do you know what I think?
I think some villagers come here to party.
I'm sure it's a juice or cold drink stain.
But, Raj, why didn't you tell us about all that?
I'm terrified here.
Guys, there's no electricity here.
Guys, there's nothing here.
Come here.
Look closely, there's no movement here.
No sounds, either.
And look over there, is that curtain moving?
What about that one? No curtain is moving even a bit.
There's nothing here that could scare us.
Let's grab this opportunity,
you start filming, I'm certain we'll get 100 million views.
Okay, I mean, you all know the drill.
Guys, truth be told, I feel like there's someone else other than us,
and it is watching us.
And to be honest, I think it is angry
that we are here in its house, and…
I feel like something's not right.
Did you see that? I'm sure you heard that.
I told you that there was someone else here.
Guys, as I already said, this bungalow is very haunted.
And I feel like
someone is watching us closely.
Did you see that, guys?
There was someone there.
Guys! The wind's blowing!
There's someone else here!
Guys, if something bad were to happen to us, remember that
Rajveer and his friends risked their lives
to film this exclusive footage for you.
Who called us?
Sir, I did.
Sir, it's-- it's in the wall.
In the wall? What's in the wall?
Sir, there's something in the wall.
I had warned them that this bungalow was haunted.
All of you, stay away from the crime scene, okay?
But be nearby.
- Hey, Mr. Salunkhe. - Come in.
You're here early, and I see you've started working already.
It's just that I was born way before all of you,
so I must start earlier, right?
What about the results?
Yes, results.
Look at this.
The red stain that you see here,
and over here,
and on this leaf, too,
it's all blood.
And it's human blood.
But, sir, I checked the local records,
I couldn't find any reports of deaths or missing persons.
Not just in this bungalow, but in the entire village.
No deaths, no one's missing,
then whose blood is this?
One more thing.
Come with me, I'll show you.
Come.
- Hey, Gargi, all set? - Yes, sir.
What's wrong?
Hey, Pankaj, don't be scared, it's all right, it's fine.
If I were as faint-hearted as you,
I'd be rendered speechless, too.
Don't be scared, I'm right here.
I think those youngsters
saw this very hand with the weapon.
We need to search every nook and cranny of his house, buddy.
Get to work.
Blood?
More blood?
Yes, Pankaj?
Sir, whose photos are these?
If the information I have is correct,
then this is Shikhar, and that's his wife, Dheerja,
and that's his sister, Deepti.
According to the property records.
Something ghastly has happened here, boss.
There's blood all around. But we don't know when it happened.
And why would anyone hide the bodies in a wall?
That's what.
- Hey, Mr. Salunkhe. - Yes?
Did the body in the wall tell you anything?
Yes, a lot.
It's strange, isn't it?
Walls are built when constructing a house.
But in this case, people were killed
and a wall was built to hide their bodies.
Meaning? How many bodies are in there?
Let me show you. Gargi.
Look.
Body number one.
Body number two.
Body number three.
Look, this wall
contains three bodies in total.
More bodies, less clarity.
But we can still get the details.
Because the one who hid them there
used calcium hydroxide to build the wall.
Calcium hydroxide, you mean slaked lime?
Yes, slaked lime.
Slaked lime prevents the body from decomposing.
It decomposes gradually.
So when these bodies are out of the wall and in our lab,
gathering forensic data would be a cakewalk.
All right, you both continue with the details,
we'll talk to the villagers.
Sure, done.
Didn't I warn you?
The bungalow is haunted, even the locals are scared of it.
The bungalow houses something that is beyond our understanding.
Didn't I warn you that the bungalow was cursed?
What curse, chief?
What curse are you talking about?
Tell us everything you know about this bungalow.
Because we found three bodies inside.
In a wall.
And it can hardly be the case that three people are dead
and the villagers know nothing about it.
No police report, no missing persons complaint.
What's going on here?
We don't know anything, sir.
I think the villagers have intentionally spread a rumor
that the bungalow is haunted.
Tell me, chief.
Do you want the bungalow for yourself?
Sir, I abide by the law.
You can't accuse me falsely like this.
I must ensure the well-being of this village,
and I do my duty with utmost honesty.
You will be held accountable if three bodies are found in your village.
Right? Answer me.
Daya, if we made him some sort of a chief in jail,
he'll start speaking.
I…
Sir, I was the one who forbade the villagers
to enter this bungalow.
After what happened that night…
Which night?
What happened that night?
Shikhar was born in this village.
His parents were extremely poor.
After he was born, his family moved to Mumbai.
They worked hard over there and earned a lot of money.
After his parents' death, Shikhar renovated this bungalow.
About two years ago, on his birthday,
Shikhar came here with his wife, Dheerja, and his sister, Deepti.
There were some guests from Mumbai as well.
When Shikhar set out to renovate the bungalow,
there was a huge banyan tree here.
We know that trees house spirits.
But Shikhar didn't believe in all that.
He had the banyan tree cut down during the bungalow's renovation.
And maybe a spirit exacted revenge
by killing all three of them.
Who killed them?
It was Shikhar.
I mean, the spirit that possessed Shikhar.
We all saw
how that spirit used him to kill everyone.
Get lost! I will kill all evil spirits!
Capture the spirits,
or else they'll destroy the village.
And then we ran towards this bungalow.
What we saw there sent a chill down our spines.
Because Dheerja and Deepti were killed in a gruesome manner.
Shikhar had told us that if we didn't capture the spirits,
they would destroy the village.
Yes, sir, what if those spirits had made us their target?
So we followed Shikhar's instructions
and buried the bodies in the wall.
We took a vow that none of us will set foot in this bungalow.
But, sir, these youngsters went
into the bungalow and provoked the spirit.
The spirit is on a hunt once again, sir.
Stop with all this nonsense.
It's not a curse but a crime.
Do you know how grave a crime it is?
You hid three murders from the police,
and hid the bodies as well.
Chief, you better be careful.
I'll deal with you once this case is closed.
Stay right here.
This is a very strange case.
Of the three, one is a killer and he killed the other two,
and then he, too, died.
- Hey, doctor. - Hmm.
Hey.
- You removed a body? - Yes.
Did you find out anything about it, sir?
Yes, of course, a great deal.
This body here
is of a man aged 45 to 50.
Gargi.
This must be Shikhar.
The other body you see over there, which we'll remove next,
I think it is of a woman.
Dheerja or Deepti.
The victims' identities are confirmed.
Shikhar, his wife, Dheerja, and his sister, Deepti.
Very good, sir.
Sir, look, it will be dark soon.
And the atmosphere here is very eerie.
I suggest we leave now and come back in the morning.
No, not at all, Pankaj.
These dead bodies have been exposed to air already.
If we leave them here till the morning,
they will decompose so much that
it'll become impossible to retrieve any forensic data.
We won't be able to identify the bodies or the cause of death.
Doctor, we'll assign one of our best officers, Pankaj, to your security.
Hey! Why me?
Sir, why do you always put me in such a pickle?
Sir, I'm not a forensic doctor.
What will I do here?
It's good that you're not a forensic doctor.
Are you leaving him for my protection?
This guy. If there is a slight breeze and the windows rattle, he faints.
No, I don't need any protection.
Thank you.
Are you sure, doctor?
I hope you won't lodge a complaint against us to the ACP,
saying Daya and Abhijeet left me alone in the jungle.
Come on, please let me work. Go from here.
But he's a very talented officer, got it?
I agree he's very talented. Take him.
- Let's go. - Take him and go.
Pankaj.
The three victims, Deepti, Dheerja, and Shikhar,
what could you find out about them?
Sir, Shikhar had an investment firm.
And he used to mostly work from home.
I see.
Sir, Shikhar's wife, Dheerja,
was a consultant in LLP Kumar Hospital.
But she had resigned from the hospital one month ago
saying she will go to the village and help people and practice there.
- Yes. - His sister, Deepti, was a lawyer.
Investor, consultant, lawyer.
They were members of a well-settled, stable family.
The three of them have been missing for two years, I don't understand
that no one from their family
ever tried to find out about them.
They've not filed a missing persons report either.
It's really strange.
Sir, in a way, the three of them were orphans.
They did not have any relatives who could have filed a report.
When these people came here,
they told everyone they were going to begin a new life.
Maybe their friends thought they are busy with their new lives.
That's why no one bothered to find out about them.
Abhijeet.
We've found the bodies of all three, hidden in the walls.
No one even knows what happened to them.
I can't understand what is going on.
Did Salunkhe find out what happened to them?
Sir, Dr. Salunkhe and Gargi will stay back there tonight.
So that they can recover the bodies and send it for tests on time.
Hey.
How did the light go out?
Come on…
Did this have to stop working now?
- Gargi. - Sir.
This one's battery has gone. What do we do now?
Sir, you can take my light.
How will you work?
Hold on, let me think.
Is there anything here?
Look, this will come in handy.
This lamp must be ancient, but I'm sure we can use it.
Do one thing. Bring that stool.
Okay.
Let's see if this lamp will work or not.
Do one thing. Bring the lighter from the kit.
Very good.
Just what we need.
What is happening?
Sir, are you okay?
Sir, is something happening to you?
Shall I bring water for you?
- Ah! Sir… - I will not spare you.
- Sir, what are you doing? - Stop, you demon.
- I will not spare you. - Please, sir.
- Sir, please… - Stop right there.
- Sir, please let me go. - You're a demon.
Stop right there. I will not leave you.
- Sir, please… - I won't spare you.
Sir, let me go.
- Stop there. - You just wait.
- Stop! - Sir…
- Sir, please let me go. - Hey. Wait.
- Stop! - Sir, please let me go.
Another person has fallen prey to the bungalow.
But the CID team was in the bungalow.
Stop. Or I'll kill you.
Come before me.
I'll kill you. I won't spare you. Just wait.
Wait right there.
I'll kill you. I'll not spare you.
Stop.
Come here. I'll kill you.
I won't spare you.
- Hey… - I won't spare you.
- Dr. Salunkhe, what are you doing? - Are you scaring me?
- We'll get hurt. - Stop, we will get hurt.
- Dr. Salunkhe, we'll get hurt. - Move. Move.
Dr. Salunkhe…
- I won't spare anyone. - Dr. Salunkhe.
- Sir… - Come to your senses, doctor.
I won't spare anyone.
I won't spare you.
- What is happening, doctor? - Sir, sir…
Are you okay?
What happened?
Dr. Salunkhe.
Sir, he's not breathing.
- Huh? - What?
- Pankaj, get the kit quickly. - Doctor.
- Sir. - We have to give CPR.
Dr. Salunkhe.
Sir… Sir!
- Here is the kit. - Quick, start CPR.
- Hurry up. - Yes, sir.
He's breathing. Quickly call the ambulance.
Take him to the hospital. We have to get him admitted.
Doctor, please wake up.
- Where is Gargi? - Gargi.
She was with Dr. Salunkhe.
I hope she's not…
- Gargi. - Gargi.
Gargi…
Gargi.
Gargi!
Gargi.
She's nowhere, sir. Gargi.
Gargi.
Gargi…
Gargi, open the door. We've come.
Sir! Gargi.
Are you okay? Don't be afraid.
What happened? Tell me.
What happened, Gargi? Are you okay?
What exactly happened?
- Sir, I… - Huh?
- Sir, I… - Take it easy.
Yes, tell us.
Sir, I… Dr. Salunkhe wanted to kill me.
He was chasing after me with an axe.
I came and hid here.
It's a good thing that I locked the door from inside,
otherwise, he would have killed me for sure.
Take her and go. Gargi, go from here.
Come with me.
What is there inside this bungalow?
Even Dr. Salunkhe has gone crazy.
There is something here.
My God. How did that happen?
How did this happen? And with Salunkhe?
How can this happen to Salunkhe?
What is this?
We don't know what happened with Dr. Salunkhe last night
that he lost his mental balance.
My God. Where is he now?
Sir, he's in the hospital.
We spoke to the doctor. He's stable.
- Who took him to the hospital? - Pankaj.
What are you doing here?
Why did you leave Salunkhe alone in the hospital?
Go now and take care of him.
There is something wrong here.
Something is surely amiss here.
Salunkhe began behaving like a demon.
No, no… There is some mystery here.
A mystery that is slipping like sand through our fingers.
What is it?
Sir, one more thing.
There is something wrong
with the electricity meter in Shikhar's house. Here, look.
This wire has been purposely cut. It's clearly visible.
- Daya. - Sir.
All this happened on the night of Shikhar's birthday, right?
That means…
Do one thing. Make a list
of all the people who came to Shikhar's birthday.
There is one of them
who benefitted from Shikhar's death.
Gargi, I was saying that…
Where is she?
Gargi.
Dr. Gargi. Where is she?
Could she be in the pathology lab?
She's sitting here.
That's odd.
Gargi. Gargi…
What? What are you doing here?
Gargi, say something. What is the matter?
Gargi!
Gargi, open the door.
Why have you locked the door?
Look at that. You're not letting me enter my cabin.
You've locked it from the inside.
Wow, doctor, wow.
I went looking for you in the hospital, and you're here.
Tell me something. Why did you leave me in the hospital?
And what have I done?
The reason you were in hospital
will be told to you by the ACP.
And Gargi will tell you what you did.
She's not saying anything. I asked her so many times, she's mum.
She's locked herself inside.
- Hold on. Allow me. - Allowed.
Gargi, come here.
Come here to me.
Don't be scared. Come here.
Tell him what he has done.
Tell me, what did I do?
Sir, I don't want to talk about this now. I'm busy.
Did you hear that? She's busy.
She's not busy. She's traumatized. You caused it.
What are you saying?
- Come with me. - Where?
Come with me. The poor girl is getting scared.
- No, no… - Come with me.
Listen to me.
- Last night… - What happened last night?
…a soul had possessed you.
What nonsense! You're telling a scientist about souls.
Sir, science is fine.
But there isn't horror movie that I haven't seen.
Hindi, English, Filipino… All of them.
In those movies, when a soul enters another body
their face becomes like yours.
What is wrong with my face? Please, Pankaj.
Let me work in peace. I want some peace.
Sir, we want peace from you.
You have ruined everyone's peace of mind.
- Me? - Yes, you. Listen to me.
- I have a friend, Ranjit. - Okay.
He's a soul specialiss…
- Specialist! - Yes, specialist.
Sir, you have to come with me to him.
No, I won't.
I will not hear a no.
- You have to come. - No.
Shall I use some chloroform on you? Shall I kidnap you?
Mr. Ranjit…
He's the one I told you about.
- There is a soul… - Shh!
Please remain silent. He likes silence.
Sorry. Sorry.
Where did he go? Hey, where are you…
Dr. Salunkhe.
What happened, sir? Why are you looking at me like this?
- No… - Hey.
Why are you looking at me with bloodshot eyes?
Why have you come here, goat?
I'm the one who got you here? And who is the goat?
You just wait.
Hey! What are you doing? Oh, God.
What are you doing, Dr. Salunkhe?
Did you find out what happened to Salunkhe?
- Sir, I'm telling you the truth… - No.
Don't narrate any horror story again.
Sir, I'm sure
that a soul has possessed Dr. Salunkhe.
That's why, when I took him to the soul specialiss…
- What? - Sir.
When I took him to the soul specialist
that soul tried to attack me and kill me.
Do you know why?
Because I took Dr. Salunkhe there. That's why.
Is your head filled with straw?
Are you a fool?
Do these things exist?
Have you ever heard of it?
There is a scientific reason behind everything. Find out what.
And remember,
next time you watch another horror film, you'll be out of CID.
No, sir. I won't watch it.
- Sir. - Yes.
Uh, did you find out anything about these three?
No, sir. Nothing in particular.
We have checked thoroughly, sir.
We don't see anyone benefitting from Shikhar's death.
All his properties, shares, and investments are intact.
Is it possible
that the actual prey of the killer was Dheerja or Deepti?
And Shikhar was killed for no reason.
Sir, Deepti's record is clear.
There is no reason to doubt her.
And Dheerja was connected to Kavach Raksha.
She was connected with Kavach Raksha, is it?
Three people have been murdered.
Dheerja, her husband, and her sister-in-law.
When Dheerja was working here, you were her senior, right?
Ma'am, I was not only her senior
but her best friend, too.
Did Dheerja have enmity with anyone?
I have worked with Dheerja for many years.
I cannot accept that Dheerja had any enemies.
She was everyone's favorite doctor in this hospital.
Then why did Dheerja resign?
Dheerja wanted to go to the village with her husband.
Shikhar had dreamt of starting a new life there.
Dheerja shared Shikhar's dream of going there.
Though I had recommended her name for Kavach Raksha.
Kavach Raksha.
Kavach Raksha is a special defense organization.
They work on research and development
related to weapons technology and bio weapons in India.
There's a letter of appreciation in Dheerja's credentials
which was given by Kavach Raksha.
It was given for some special services.
But, sir, why would a defense organization
give a letter of appreciation to a regular doctor?
It could be possible that Kavach Raksha
has some connection with these three murders.
Kavach Raksha.
Anyway, we'll go and meet our scientist and see what he's doing.
Gargi put just one drop in that.
Yes. Shake it now.
- Salunkhe. - Huh?
Did you pick up the axe again to kill someone?
No, don't untie me.
I told Gargi to tie me.
What if I get possessed again by some soul?
What are you blabbering about?
I'm not blabbering, boss. I'm telling the truth.
I checked the footage in the soul specialist Ranjit's house.
Now I'm sure
that I've been overtaken by someone or something.
What?
Oh-ho. So Mr. Salunkhe was with us only up to this point.
I know a very good psychiatric institution.
They will take good care of you.
We'll come there every Sunday to see you.
Will you keep quiet for a while? Can I tell you everything?
Go on, then.
I'm telling you, boss.
Look, I've been possessed for sure.
- But not by any soul. - Then?
Aren't these the same chemical drugs which give you hallucinations?
- Optical illusion or mental illusion. - Yes, that's right.
And who told you about this hallucinogen?
Boss, after returning from Ranjit's house
I did a complete blood test on myself.
That's when I found out I have Phantom X in my body and blood.
Phantom X.
It's a very dangerous bioweapon.
No one knows who made it.
But for the last two years
this weapon was freely available on the black market.
And what exactly happens after this Phantom X enters the body?
With Phantom X, a person's biggest fear appears before their eyes.
We know that humans all have some or other phobia.
Each one of us is scared of one thing or another.
In my case, it was a monster goat.
A dangerous demonic goat.
What?
Despite being a forensic doctor, you're scared of a goat?
It's called capraphobia.
I agree. I have been scared of goats since childhood.
In my childhood, when I visited the village
a goat had hit me with its horns, very badly.
I've been scared of goats ever since.
Will you stop laughing?
So, does it mean we will have to keep Dr. Salunkhe tied up like this?
Daya, the effect of Phantom X is temporary.
It slowly gets out of the bloodstream on its own.
The same thing must have happened with Shikhar too.
He also must have a phobia.
As soon as this Phantom X gas entered his body,
his phobia would have been triggered.
In that moment
he thought his wife and sister were demons and killed them.
That's right.
Sir, I don't understand one thing. This Shikhar
was quite exhausted because of Phantom X.
And he died due to exhaustion.
But Dr. Salunkhe…
I'm alive only because of you, boss.
That's right. If you had not given me CPR right away
I also would have ended up like Shikhar.
Sometimes, he scolds us, sometimes, he praises us.
Yeah, what you do determines the reaction you'll get.
Do it. Do it. Do it.
So, what's the next move?
Next, boss,
I'll touch and smell everything,
and try to figure out
what triggered the Phantom X
in Ranjit's house.
- Go on, then. - Yeah, I'm on it.
Come on.
Hmm.
Nope.
No.
Hey! Take it away! Take it away!
Put it back! Gargi, put it back now.
This.
Boss, this lamp triggered the Phantom X.
Now. Now, untie me! Untie me!
Look at this, boss.
It has turned pink.
That proves the Phantom X was in this.
What happened was some particles of the Phantom X
got stuck in my nose.
And when Ranjit blew out smoke,
I took a deep breath to escape it,
but the particles lodged deeper,
got into my system and triggered my fear.
And that's when I felt the second attack.
Sir, the lights at Shikhar's house were deliberately turned off
to force him to use the lamp.
And when he lit it,
the Phantom X gas was released and he inhaled it.
That's when the hallucinations started.
So, on the night of the party
someone must have given this to him as a gift.
Sir, could the Phantom X
have some links to Kavach Raksha?
They research bio-weapons, after all.
Absolutely, Daya. Absolutely.
Now I get it,
how to track this killer down.
Shikhar's family is from Mumbai.
So all the guests must be from Mumbai, too.
This is the only route to Nashik. They must have taken this route.
There are toll booths on it.
They would've paid the toll there, too.
Sir, the toll booth records were erased two years ago.
Oh, no!
But we've got the FASTag records of all the cars.
We've also got a list of cars that went to and from Kavach Raksha.
Let's cross-check these lists.
If we find a car that appears on both,
then our job is done.
- There are two matches, sir. - Yes.
The first one belongs to Dheerja.
But she was the victim, and she worked there, too.
What about the second one?
That second car
belongs to our culprit.
Dr. Mohan, you seem to be in a rush.
No worries, we've got a car.
We'll drop you off on the way back.
You're here?
I was heading to a medical conference.
We've got an update on that conference for you.
The venue has changed.
Actually, it might be in jail now.
- Jail? - Yes.
But why? What have I done?
You know exactly what you've done and how.
If you'd just told us why, this case would be over.
Look, I didn't kill Dheerja.
But…
I can tell you
who probably did it.
A week before Dheerja resigned
she was speaking
to someone in hushed tones.
At times, I felt like she…
Hello, doctor.
You've left the story unfinished.
Come on, let's complete it.
Daya will help you.
Sir…
Yes.
I laced that lamp with Phantom X so all three of them would die.
Dheerja was a dear friend.
We worked together for years.
In fact, she only got into Kavach Raksha
because of my recommendation.
I thought after all these favors
she'd back me up and get Phantom X approved.
But not everyone is a criminal like you, Dr. Mohan.
Dheerja wrote the truth about Phantom X in her report.
She told the board how dangerous it was.
This chemical
could be used by people to kill their friends and family.
She ruined everything I had planned. Everything.
You lost 2,000 crore rupees over this.
Yes, 2,000 crore rupees.
And I realized that as long as Dheerja was alive,
Phantom X would never get approval from Kavach Raksha.
At first, I thought about
shelving this for a while.
And I'd bring it back with a new name after a few years.
But for that to happen, Dheerja had to disappear from this world.
And you decided to get rid of Shikhar, didn't you?
That's why I gave Shikhar that birthday gift.
That antique lamp.
And then I cut the electricity in the house
so he'd have no choice
but to use the lamp.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The moment Shikhar lit the lamp,
the gas from the Phantom X seeped into his body.
And all the fears buried in his mind came rushing out.
His fear was right before him.
Dr. Mohan, you killed three innocent people.
And yet, you're laughing?
Do you know
what a person's greatest fear is?
It's death. Death!
And now, death is staring you in the face.
You're going to be hanged. Hanged.
Take him away.
Well, at least, thanks to Rajveer's fake video,
we managed to catch a real monster.
