Move. Clear this place!
Take pictures of everything.
Come on.
- Chaubey. - Yes, sir.
Get him down.
Come on, come on.
Come on.
You take the photo.
Sir.
He was a college student here.
And you?!
I'm an English teacher here.
Okay, great.
Very good.
Be careful with the body.
Where's the ambulance, Chaubey?
It's coming, sir. Gone off to drop the doctor home.
It was busy.
Sir, I suspect it's a murder.
Why do you think so, mister?
There's a student named Suraj Singh.
He had a fight with him.
- Suraj Singh? - Yes.
That politician's man?
I don't know all that. I know he's a student here.
Check properly if he's breathing or not.
Checked, sir. No breathing.
Note 'dead on arrival' then.
And send the body for post-mortem.
Sir, I want to give my statement. Interrogate Suraj Sigh, please.
Students.
Your teacher is accusing Suraj Singh for murder.
Is there any other witness?
Apart from him?
Do you have a personal grudge against Suraj Singh?
Sir! Sir is right.
I'm also a witness.
You're Mishra's daughter, right?
Mr. Rajendra Mishra's?
Yes.
Why are you getting into this mess? Go home.
Sir, I will give the statement and go home.
Ask your dad before getting involved.
I've matured now. I need not ask my dad.
Take my statement.
Chaubey!
Take their statements.
Is there anybody who thinks
they've matured and don't need to their father permission?
What's your name?
Name please.
- Abhi... - Kasturi...
One by one.
Abhimanyu Singh.
Kasturi Mishra.
Why isn't Sonu answering the phone?
Must be on the scooter.
Find out Ayesha's number. Ask her.
I will go and check at Dipti's house.
Hello! Yes, Mr. Subodh.
Nothing will change, Kasturi.
You know who Suraj is.
Should we fear him and do nothing?
This isn't right, Ayesha.
Sir, you're new here.
Politics of this city, the people...
everything works this way only.
Okay, sir.
We will go from here.
Thank you. Let's go.
You did the right thing.
Hey, there she is.
Dad.
Dad, he's Abhimanyu sir. My new lecturer.
Good to meet you, sir.
Sir, come inside. Meet my mom, too.
It's quite late. Some other time.
See you.
Give this to me.
Do you know the time?
Sorry, dad.
Go inside.
Who was he?
He was my lecturer. He came to drop me home.
Did Ayesha and Dipti give the statement too?
Mr. Subodh called.
Only I gave the statement.
Will you say something?
You shouldn't have gotten involved in a police matter.
I will talk to Mr. Durgesh tomorrow and withdraw your statement.
- But, dad... - But what?
Tomorrow onwards, you will go straight to the college.
And return home by 6 PM.
Otherwise, I will break your bones.
But I haven't done anything wrong, mom.
Yes, Sonu, Kasturi got home.
Election fund, sir.
That's fine.
Tell me what brings you here.
Sir, Jehanabad road construction...
...conrtact should be given to me.
What if I lose the election?
Whoever wins or loses the election in Jehanabad.
The remote is still with you, sir.
Do you know Shukla from Gaya?
He's also after this contract.
He had called me up.
Sir. This is just the advance.
Your entire election expenses will be borne by me, sir.
Just give me one chance.
Sir... village chief has come to see you.
Alright.
Do have the refreshments before you leave.
Made from our own cow's milk.
- Sure. - Do have it.
Yes, sir.
- Greetings. - Greetings.
Greetings. How are you all?
- Sir, the villagers... - Chief, you've come home.
We will talk about work later.
Let me welcome you, first.
Now, tell me about the problem.
Sir, all this...
These people...
Don't hesitate.
This isn't the first time.
Sir, that boy was from our neighboring village.
People are furious.
That their young boy has been killed.
Even Jageshwar Mandal made a ruckus.
Do... something.
Otherwise it will be difficult to gather election support.
Where's he?
Sir.
- Sir, listen. - Don't say a word.
- F****r. You landed me in trouble and... - What...
- No... no... - And here you have eating chicken!
F*****g bastard. I made you student leader...
... To gather votes
- And here you are f*****g me over! - No.
Sir, your BP will shoot up.
That's what he wants.
That I die of high BP!
Sir, whatever has happened, we can't avert it.
- Let's think about our next move. - What is there to think?
Shoot him and drop his body at the city square!
Jai hind, sir.
Mr. Durgesh.
What's the status of the Pradeep Kumar case?
Sir, from preliminary investigation it seems like murder.
Do one thing. Register this as suicide.
Statement is recorded against Suraj Singh.
If we won't investigate, people will feel...
Don't worry about others.
Just do as I said.
Have you lodged an FIR?
Only diary entry is made yet.
Who all have given the statement?
Sir, Abhminayu Singh. He's a professor.
And Mr. Rajendra's daughter.
Don't worry about her.
She's family.
Do as I say.
Yes, sir.
Asshole.
Who's this Abhimanyu Singh?
New professor.
- Next turn is his. - Shut up, m****r f****r.
Dubey, banish him.
If I see you in Jehanabad for the next three months...
...then I will kill you.
Is that clear?
Having chicken here, m****r f****r.
Dalit student found hanging in college premises.
Police investigating suicide angle.
Jehanabad police...
Even I can read a little English, Mr. Shakespeare.
And the case won't change if you read it.
You know the truth too.
This is Jehanabad, Mr. Singh.
The sooner you accept it,
The better your days here.
Moreover, we don't mourn...
...over an untouchable's death.
I've spoken with Suraj.
You're safe now.
Okay, I've a class.
26.
Mr. Mishra, can I read the newspaper?
Sir, I heard this boy had a fight with the student leader Suraj Singh.
Do your work quietly.
Are you done?
Move on.
Sonu.
Thank you.
Detergent cake.
All of you go to your work.
Why are you standing here?
Nobody will work today.
Why?
Are you on a holiday?
We've a demand.
All of us are in different blocks.
We are unsafe.
Transfer us to the same block.
Not possible.
You will have to stay in the same cells allotted to you.
Now, go. Start working.
Alright.
Then we will protest right here.
Today none of us will work...
...or eat at all. What say?
Yes.
Stop. Listen to me carefully.
Your safety is our responsibility.
Don't break the rules. I am warning you.
Our safety is on us, jailer.
Outside a student is hanged and they call it a suicide.
If anybody dies here, no one will even know.
Look, don't do politics over here, Deepak.
This is jail. I'm telling you.
Get back to work.
- Deepak, Deepak, this is not right. - "You can try blinding the truth"
- This is my last warning to you. - "Or rain us with batons"
Go back to work.
"You can try blinding the truth"
"Or rain us with batons"
"You can beat us black and blue."
- "We won't tolerate any injustice." - Take him inside.
- "We won't tolerate any injustice." - Go inside.
"We won't tolerate any injustice."
"We've got bones of iron."
"And courage as big as mountains."
"For us, the sun, the cloud and the evening all are dark."
"O traveller on this journey, accept my red salute."
"For us, the sun, the cloud and the evening all are dark."
"O traveller on this journey, accept my red salute."
Sir, Deepak Kumar has created a ruckus again.
"and the evening are all dark."
"O traveller on this journey, accept my red salute."
Good morning, class.
Good morning, sir.
Sir, this is Abhimanyu sir's class.
He's not well and took a leave.
Today we will study 'Deliverance' from 'The World of Premchand'.
Open your books.
We will begin the lecture.
Are you sure he dropped you home last night?
The original story goes by the name 'Sadgati' in Hindi.
Let's read it.
Sir, I am not feeling well.
You were good just a while ago.
You won't understand. I need to go.
Thank you.
I've thought over it, uncle.
To my students, if I won't set an example as a teacher...
...how will it affect them?
Yes.
I will call you later. Bye.
You've set the right example, sir.
Everybody is talking about you.
You just watch. No student will hold back.
Did you bunk college?
You shouldn't have done that.
Now, it's already done, sir.
What do I do?
Sit.
Sir, what's wrong with your health?
You heard about my health and came over?
Why?
Sir, I don't know much about you.
But I've noticed from day one, that you're completely different.
All are dickheads over here.
They aren't civilized at all.
And people keep away from those like Suraj Singh.
You're the first one to raise a hand on him.
That was a wrong step.
One needs courage to take such steps.
And frankly...
...somebody should take such wrong steps from time to time.
I found courage because of you.
When you gave the statement against him, I had decided to support you through.
Today when you didn't come to the college,
I thought you must be worried.
So, I...
I just want Pradeep's family to get justice.
If it was Delhi or Patna, I'd have dealt with it.
I'd not have let police do as they like.
But here, I don't know anybody.
Sir, I know.
Come with me, I know somebody.
Where?
I will tell you. Come with me.
You're very stubborn.
Yes, even my mom says so. Now, come with me.
Wait a minute.
Suraj Singh... Down... Down...
Down... Down...
Suraj Singh... Down... Down...
Down... Down...
Shivanand Singh... Down... Down...
- Shivanand Singh... Down... Down... - Stop... stop...
- Stop here... - Down... Down...
Take the other lane.
We won't tolerate injustice by the police.
We won't tolerate.
Shivanand Singh... Down... Down...
Down... Down...
Suraj Singh... Down... Down...
We won't tolerate injustice by the police.
- Jehanabad police... - Down... Down...
- Suraj Singh... - Down... Down...
Sir, I request you to stop this.
Sir, this will continue...
...until our boy gets his justice. Understand?
Police is taking action.
Is it? Then where's Suraj Singh?
Where's your SP Durgesh Pratap Singh?
And yes, listen to one thing very carefully.
Dalit is not weak anymore, he understands everything.
- Jehanabad police... - Down... Down...
Chaubey, get them back. - Down... Down...
If all of you wouldn't go back to your cell at the count of 5...
...then I will shoot Deepak Kumar.
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
So, you've finally showed your true colours.
We've many other things to do other than serving you, m****r f****r.
Lock him in confinement.
Come on.
"For us, the sun..."
- "...the clouds..." - Take him away.
- "and the evening all are dark." - Come on.
Shut him up.
Hey, stop... Take him away.
Take him away.
Yes, Mr. Subodh.
MLA is protesting here.
Situation is turning tense here.
I'm coming.
If violence erupts, arrest everyone.
Sir, Deepak Kumar is to be presented in the court tomorrow.
- Yes, so? - So...
Bring him with tight security. Give him a proper bandage.
This is Shivanand Singh's house The most powerful leader of the city.
Suraj is his man, right?
You don't even think before taking any step.
Stop here.
- Let's go back. Brother... - Hey.
Just a second. Here you go.
He's my uncle. He treats me like a daughter.
If anybody can do anything in Jehanabad, it's him.
Now, come.
But why will he listen to our problem?
You try talking to him.
The way you talk, anybody would listen.
Come.
We've sent the message to Simariya's village chief.
The program is set two days later.
Villagers are a little shaken.
Do one thing.
Get few Dalit students from there admitted in a college on scholarship.
And I will personally announce this.
- At the program. - Okay.
Uncle. Hello.
Hey, Kasturi.
Now you remember me.
- How are your parents? - They are good.
Uncle, I wanted a favour.
What's it?
I want to introduce you to someone.
Uncle, this is Abhimanyu Singh.
Hello!
He wanted to talk to you. You please listen to him.
Yes, I will, but you've brought a guest. Will we not treat him first?
Go and tell the cook to prepare some tea.
Why the cook? I will make the tea.
Go ahead.
Quite strange!
Just yesterday the SP was telling me about you...
... and today we're meeting here.
Well, before coming here, I saw...
...that Jageshwar Mandal was setting your effigy on fire.
In the past five years...
...people have set fire to many of my effigies.
But look at me.
Have I turned to ash?
Let's go.
So, tell me.
How may I help you?
Sir, I wanted...
...a fair investigation of the Dalit student's death case.
Investigation is already on.
Police is doing its job.
What can I do?
You can provide justice...
...to the victim's family.
Look.
This is politics.
You're a professor.
Focus in your teaching.
Why waste time in all this?
You know politics better than me.
And you're right. Police is doing its job.
But public is seeing what I saw.
In the market, under the scorching sun,
for Pradeep Kumar and Dalits...
...Jageshwar Mandal is struggling for justice.
And not Shivanand Singh.
We won't tolerate Police's injustice.
- Jehanabad police... - Down... Down...
- Sp Jehanabad... - Down... Down...
MLA, stop it.
Your protest is over.
This is my last warning, Else I will arrest all of you.
Then, you hang us to death too, SP.
Mr Jageshwar. I request you.
We won't tolerate Police's injustice.
- We won't tolerate Police's injustice. - Get back. Back...
- SP Jehanabad... - Down... Down...
- Police Jehanabad... - Down... Down...
We won't tolerate Police's injustice.
- Shivanand Singh! - Down... Down...
What a sight.
Sitting MLA is protesting...
...and burning my effigy.
You're already prepared to be opposition?
Even I was taken aback.
When these kids came and told me the story,
I understood that this is injustice.
No matter who's your MLA.
I've shed my blood for Jehanabad.
If anybody is met with oppression, he will get justice.
- And the culprit will get punished. - Stop your acting.
This drama won't work on us.
Stop it.
You've been shrieking since morning. Aren't you tired?
I request, SP sir.
For a fair investigation of this murder.
And arrest Suraj Singh.
Then...
You can set my effigy afire...
...or me.
But Shivanand Singh will always be at your service.
- Shivanand Singh! - Long live...
Sir.
- Hold everyone out. - Okay.
Stay here. In alert position.
Imagine...
The whole world is caught in war.
And you're busy here f*****g.
Come on. Arrest him.
- Student leader. - Take him.
M****r f****r.
- I will make sure you lose your job. - It's your leader's order.
Come on, take him.
M****r f****r.
Get inside.
Sir, preliminary investigation indicated this as a case of suicide.
But few new witnesses have come forward.
Suraj Singh had a scuffle with the deceased on the same day's morning,
and also threatened to kill him.
Considering the sensitivity of the case, I request...
...14 days remand for Suraj Singh.
That's all.
My Lord, Suraj Singh is a respected young student leader of the city.
And prosecution has...
...no strong evidence except a small scuffle.
Suraj Singh must be granted bail.
Mr. Singh, what do you say?
My Lord, the murder angle must be investigated in depth.
If we can get a remand...
Are the witness statements attached?
Yes, sir.
I see.
Alright.
Seven days police remand.
Then we will see.
Sir.
Take him away.
Let's go.
Master, m****r f****r.
You will get me jailed?
I'll show you who Suraj Singh is.
I'll make an example out of you.
And you, Kasturi.
You testified against me.
I'll show you what a bas*** I am.
You don't know me.
I'll show you.
Is...
Deepak Kumar's hearing today as well?
Yes, sir.
I'll be out in two days.
No one can save you from us.
Understood.
I'll hang you from the tree as well,
or my name isn't Suraj Singh.
Now see how I'll f*** your a**
Someone stop him.
- Release Deepak Kumar. - Release Deepak Kumar.
- Police Department... - Down... Down...
- Release Deepak Kumar. - Release Deepak Kumar.
Release Deepak Kumar.
