Ramnarayan Singh...
Regional Director - AHD Department, Ranchi.
Murari Sharma - Animal Husbandry Officer - Ranchi.
Chhote Lal - Treasury Officer -Ranchi.
And Dinesh Tripathi - Animal Husbandry Officer, Chaibasa.
Hmm.
We have learnt that AHD Dept did excess withdrawal than the allotted budget.
Care to explain what this money was spent on?
Well sir, we need to buy poultry feed for the chicken...
...fodder for the cattle,
their medicines as well as equipment.
We have a record of suppliers' bills, sir.
Yes, you do have the bills.
But they are fake.
In all the bills that have been seized from Ranchi,
VC Foods comes up as your biggest fake supplier.
The address it has mentioned is also fake.
The firm does not exist.
Government funds are being embezzled by showing fake supply on paper.
Murariji, what is the annual budget of AHD, Ranchi?
30 million.
And how much have you withdrawn?
I'll tell you how much.
270 million.
Have anything to say?
This is a serious accusation, sir.
But I won't say anything.
You can talk to my lawyer.
Sir, you seem to be biased.
Sir, you are defaming our department without any cause.
Hmm.
Anything to add, Chhote Lalji?
About VC Foods?
Why, who, when?
Since when this scam has been going on?
Scam?
What scam, sir?
All the bills are genuine, sir.
You are mistaken.
I think all of you are unaware of the fact that
Based on CM Madam orders, Police has already registered FIR against all of you.
You have approved these fake bills.
You know what will happen now?
You will get suspended.
Criminal proceedings will be initiated against all of you.
Not just that, your properties will be seized too.
This is your last chance to become an approver.
I guarantee leniency in terms of punishment.
Give it a thought.
Sir.
Truth needs no support.
You cannot scare us by saying such things.
And as for the answers you seek?
My lawyer will be happy to provide them to you.
Do me a favour, please stand up?
- Excuse me? - Please stand up.
Go call your lawyer.
Anyone who has a problem, go call your lawyer.
- Go on. - Okay.
Lal Babu, please stay back.
Have a seat.
I heard they operated and removed a huge kidney stone?
Yes, sir.
I am better now.
Do you know why kidney stone is formed?
I will tell you.
doctors say consumption of unhygienic junk food
results in accumulation of filth in the stomach.
That is what turns into kidney stones.
Okay. Okay, sir.
So why do you eat unhygienic junk food from outside, huh?
If your stomach explodes everything will get exposed.
Do you get it?
Sir, I did not have a kidney stone.
I am ready to be approver if you can get me pardoned .
Step One of the scam:
The process starts at Animal Husbandry Ministry, Patna.
AHD Ministry, Patna used to send an allotment...
..letter to all the Regional Directors of the state to purchase animals,
...poultry feed, fodder, medicines and equipment.
Each Regional Director has a couple of District AHD officers under him.
Regional Director would send that allotment letter to...
...all district AHD offices.
Step Two:
All the AHD offices would use this allotment letter...
to generate purchase bills for buying animals,
medicines and feeds.
These bills would be way more than the allotted budget
Only 10% of the supply orders used to be sent to genuine suppliers.
The rest of them used to be issued to dummy suppliers like VC Foods.
Tell me something, Lal Babu,
all the fake bills generated in the name of VC Foods are...
...in two amounts only,
Rs14,999 and Rs49,999.
Why so? I mean why it is so?
You see, scam runs on these numbers.
This is why the scam was never detected during the internal audit.
Why?
According to the state govt rules,
A District Animal Husbandry Officer can...
...approve a bill up to 15,000 at his personal level.
He does not require his senior's approval for it.
Similarly, a Regional Director can...
...sanction a bill up to the amount of 50,000 without his senior's approval.
They purposely stuck to such bill amounts...
...so that no senior gets to question them.
Step Three:
In order to show supply of these orders,
AHD's Junior Officers would issue fake transportation challans(invoices).
These challans would require transportation...
...records of purchase of animals, fodder and medicines.
So, we would put license number of any random car,
...tempo, rickshaw on these invoices.
Step Four:
On the basis of these fake challans,
we'd issue acknowledgment...
...receipts in the name of dummy suppliers.
This was to show that we have received the order.
Step Five:
We'd issue cheques in the name of dummy suppliers on...
...the basis of the fake acknowledgment receipts.
Hmm.
Tell me something.
For how long this fraud has been going on?
For the last 8 years, sir.
We aren't the only ones, sir.
Animal Husbandry Dept is doing fraudulent withdrawals...
...from almost all the treasuries of the state.
What the f... fuck!
One more thing.
Who would collect cheques on behalf of VC Foods?
Sir...
Ramanji from Patna, Head Clerk of AHD Ministry.
He is the one who would personally get the Minister's allotment letter as well.
Minister?
Which Minister?
Minister means The Minister, sir.
NA KAHU SE DOSTI NA KAHU SE BAIR
"You have rosy cheeks and luscious lips."
Come baby.
You are a bomb, baby.
Come baby.
You are a bomb, baby.
"Let me talk you into my arms, my love."
"Let me talk you into my arms and have my way with you, my love."
"You have rosy..."
Don't leave me wanting like this, Minister?
Minister of State, Irrigation Department, really?
I won't settle for anything less than the cabinet minister.
Oh really?
You will have to work hard for that, sweetheart.
I am working Hard. In fact, I've been pulling double shifts.
Look, don't be hasty.
Haste makes waste, darling.
Just keep doing what you are doing...
...and wait for the right opportunity.
Like I did.
Navin insulted me, abused me, and I quietly tolerated everything.
As soon as I saw an opportunity, I pulled him down and grabbed power
Okay. Can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
Why did you go to meet Shankar Mahto?
And that too with bags full of cash?
You know,
what do they call a beautiful woman who is smart as well?
What?
Femme fatale.
It means a lethal woman.
And you are one.
But my sweet-sweet baby,
don't dig so deep that you end up digging your own grave.
Come, let's make whoopee.
"Let me talk you into my arms and have my way with you, my love."
"Let me..."
Who is it?
The CM?
Here?
Hello, Madam.
Why did you take the trouble of coming here this early?
You should have summoned for me instead.
You come there or I come here, it's the same thing, Premji.
What can I do for you, Madam?
So, how's your Department doing?
Very well, Madam.
Animal Husbandry Department ranks first in performance.
But I heard it ranks first in something else altogether.
In what, Madam?
Embezzlement.
Really?
Damn it.
Your dept has done 9580 million fraudulent withdrawal.
Department is filled with corrupt people.
Don't worry, Madam.
I'll start an investigation and suspend the guilty.
I've already done that.
That's the first thing I did this morning.
After suspending 15 Collectors, 10 AHD Directors,
20 Treasury Officers and 40 AHD Officers,
...I have come to meet you.
You did the right thing, Madam.
Can I say something?
"Let me talk you into my arms and have my way with you, my love."
Very serious.
I exposed previous government's Coal Tar scam of 4200 million.
Millions were also squandered in...
...the name of building new roads and bridges.
You know another name for the Energy Department?
White Elephant.
You are right.
Why don't you suggest a way to stop this loot?
Start an investigation, simple.
I will setup a judicial committee tomorrow itself.
They will give you a report of all the frauds happening in all the departments.
Simple.
Investigations take its own sweet time, Premji.
People don't trust these judicial committee reports anyway.
I want to win people's trust.
I want to make a good image.
And I require your help to do that.
How can I help, Madam?
I can do anything for you and Bheema Babu.
- What do I need to do? - All you need to do is resign.
This is not funny, Madam.
Who resigns over corruption charges?
Have you heard anyone do it in this country?
Who has ever resigned because of corruption charges?
If you cannot resign then there is another option for you.
What?
Return 9580 million back to Bihar.
Madam, I suggest,
you should have a word with Bheema Babu.
Premji, I don't ask Saheb how to run the government.
You are deluded if you think you run the government, Madam.
Go home,
milk your cows, cook for your family, make cow dung cakes,
and get a bull to impregnate your cows.
And whenever you feel bored,
come to the office to be the rubber stamp that you are.
Don't tell me what to do
I want your resignation letter on my table by tomorrow morning.
Otherwise, I will dismiss you.
Madam.
You don't know who I am.
I am the pillar on which your government rests.
I divided the party.
I made nine MLAs leave Navin and join your party.
That is how your government was formed.
Mess with me and your government will fall.
This is my warning.
Prem Kumarji,
this is Rani Bharti Government,
and not a weak wall that will fall because a pip-squeak peed on it.
I want your resignation on my table by tomorrow morning.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
There you go.
Your Excellency.
Something has come up.
I need to go.
Thank you everyone,
for coming here to celebrate this old man's birthday.
I will be right back.
No body leaves without having cake.
Please have a seat. Come.
Happy Birthday, Your Excellency.
So, what brings you here?
What's happening to us is unfair.
What happened?
Chief Minister has issued orders to suspend all of us.
She didn't give us a notice or a chance to explain ourselves.
She straightaway suspended us.
How is this possible?
It has something to do with the Animal Husbandry Department.
We don't know what investigation Finance Secretary carried out,
but we were all suspended on the basis of that.
Your Excellency, no one gave us a...
...chance to explain or justify anything.
Your Excellency, we request you to intervene and stop this injustice.
Shyam Babu, what does the law state?
Your Excellency, as per the law, they have a right to be heard.
You can ask the Chief Minister to reconsider her decision.
Forgive me, lord.
Please forgive me.
I am in big trouble, Baba.
Mukhiyaji thinks that I am the one who got Kunwar arrested.
And police thinks that I have links with Mukhiyaji.
I have both the DGP...
...and Mukhiya's men chasing me.
You know it all.
Only you can save me from Mukhiya's wrath, Baba.
Let go of my feet.
Don't worry, Gauri.
You are under my refuge now.
If you haven't done anything wrong and are innocent,
then no harm will come to you.
Huh?
Baba?
How about if I have done... something wrong?
then I won't be able to help you.
Because we are talking about Kunwar here,
and not a small pawn.
Come on start talking.
Where did you learn to dance like this?
You liked it, Mom?
Why don't you join us?
Yes, Mom, please. I'll play the song again.
No, I don't know how to dance.
Please join us, Mom.
- Come on, Mom. - Please, Mom.
- Let go of my hand. - Please dance, Mom.
Roshni!
You are absolutely right, Raniji.
This scam needs to be investigated.
The guilty should be punished.
And we will do that.
But keep Prem Kumar out of this.
This is amazing.
The news of Prem Kumar's resignation reached home before I could.
Very well.
I have a question for Saheb and you.
Won't you dismiss the Minister of...
..the Department that embezzled 9580 million right under your nose?
Of course, we will.
We will investigate this matter.
We should investigate Prem Kumar as well.
All I am saying is not right away.
Why?
Raniji, government needs party's support to be in power
and Prem Kumarji is the leader of the upper-castes in the party.
We can investigate him only after we have consensus within the party on this matter.
In the meanwhile don't take any action...
...that could harm your government.
Come on, Mishraji.
I want to find out the truth and you want to save the government.
No.
This won't do.
There will be an inquiry against him and he will have to resign too.
Prem Kumar won't resign.
Prem should get a chance to defend himself.
Saheb?
Party will decide his future and not you.
- But Saheb, I... - Enough.
There won't be any discussion on this matter.
Sir. We are done for.
What happened, Anjani?
What do you think?
They are going to come after us now.
CM has withdrawn the suspension of all the DMs and other officers.
I heard now a tribunal will be formed to look into their grievances and take final decision.
What nonsense!
This is a criminal case.
A tribunal is not required.
God knows, sir.
I had warned you, CM won't take any action.
It is not so easy to go against the system, sir.
Relax, Anjani.
I'll have a word with Madam.
She won't be coming to office today.
She is visiting Phulpur slum.
I have checked her schedule.
What did you check?
Huh?
Is it your job to do these inquiries, huh?
You think you guys are fucking C.I.D or what?
Excuse me?
Fuck you and your excuses.
Don't cross your limits man
Our CM is naive
So you think you can take undue advantage of her?
You don't enjoy your stay here?
You don't like a peaceful life?
You seek adventure, huh?
Want me show you how a real adventure feels like, asshole?
Ask your wife to start packing.
Your days in Bihar are numbered now.
Leave on a deputation on your own within the next 10 days,
Or else I'll parade you naked on the streets
I'll whip all the honesty out of you.
You want to prepare a report against me.
Bastard.
A fucking report.
This is the report, huh?
This is the report?
Kids in Bihar use such reports to wipe their asses in the morning.
Fucking bastard.
Ten days.
Leave.
Or you'll be standing at...
..the Dak bungalow crossing with a stick up your ass.
There you can make all the reports you want.
Fucker dares to prepare a report against me.
Oh the things politicians and officers of Bihar are capable of.
They can do just about anything.
You are already aware about the millions embezzled in the Coal Tar Scam.
And who can forget the State...
Transport Corporation's Buses scam.
This time Bihar's ministers and officials got together...
...and feasted on poultry feeds worth 9580 million.
When Finance Secretary Parvez Alam started investigating...
...fraudulent withdrawals by the Animal Husbandry Dept at the Chief Minister's behest
he had no clue that this scam would turn out to be this big.
Such a big scam is not possible without Animal...
...Husbandry Minister's knowledge and backing.
If Prem Kumar doesn't resign even after such a big exposure,
then we can assume that the whole government is corrupt.
Mishraji, what kind of a game are you playing with me, huh?
We don't know how it was leaked to the media.
We are trying to find out.
Don't worry.
I have already assured you last night.
Bheema Babu has told CM that you won't resign.
- So you won't. - But how did this get leaked?
Find out and tell me.
I will find out.
What is this nonsense?
Saheb, I don't know how this happened.
Your favorite Parvez Alam has leaked it.
This shit in the newspapers will take months to clean up.
Bureaucracy may be the engine of the government
but you should never let go of the control, the steering wheel.
He instigated you, and you gave in.
Why would he do this? He is a very nice man.
I had told him to keep this report a secret.
Parvez Alam was made...
...the Finance Secretary on Navin's recommendation.
See for yourself,
what he did along with the Media and the Opposition.
You still have time.
Get your act together.
Learn who is an ally and who isn't.
I have to ask her.
We won't tolerate it!
Down with the Rani Government!
Madam, such a big scam has been exposed.
What action is your government going to take?
It is true that Minister of Animal Husbandry too is a part of it?
Are you going to dismiss him, Madam?
- Give us an answer. - Answer our question, Madam.
- Give us an answer, Madam. - Say something, Madam.
People want to know. Give us an answer.
- Madam? - Give us an answer, Madam.
People want to know. Give us an answer.
God Ram had said to Sita, there will come a time
when mankind and civilization will lose all humanity and morality.
Now such a dark time has come...
That mankind and civilization has become debased...
...and devoid of all humanity and morality.
We demand that Prem Kumar resigns right away.
We also demand CID investigation into this matter...
From the govt
Otherwise, we will bring Bihar to a halt
Alamji, you leaked this news to the media?
Madam.
I could give you a vague reply, but it would be a lie.
I have leaked the report, Madam.
You made a big mistake.
I trusted you and you...
I am sorry, Madam.
I have put my life at risk and investigated this scam.
When you withdrew the suspension orders of those culprit officers,
I felt devastated.
I thought you won't be taking any action.
People of Bihar have a right to know that their money...
...has been stolen, Madam.
They also have a right to know who stole their money.
I had no other intentions behind it, Madam.
I know why you did it.
I know everything.
You did this at Navin Kumar's behest.
On opposition's orders.
All of you conspired against me to tarnish my image
That is a lie, Madam.
It is a lie?
So is this also a lie...
...that you got this job on Navin Kumar's recommendation?
Is it a lie?
Madam, I agree he had recommended me,
but that was because of my abilities and not due to bootlicking.
Madam, I started this investigation at your behest,
and not his.
Alamji, I don't want any justifications.
You broke my trust.
You are being dismissed with immediate effect.
You may leave.
I had warned you, sir.
I know, Anjani.
But I must tell you something.
Keep working honestly.
Honesty pays.
No, no.
I am serious.
It pays.
Let me know if you need anything, sir.
Good luck, Anjani.
Ask the Saharsa official to send me all the files by tomorrow morning.
- Okay. - And you coordinate with the office in Dhanbad.
Everything should be taken care of by tomorrow evening.
Okay.
Let's meet tomorrow morning.
Sir.
A huge scam has been exposed in your Department.
- Your comments? - False accusations, all of them.
Just cooked up stories.
Rajiv Gandhi too was accused of taking a commission in the Bofors scam.
Right?
What did that result in?
Sir, are you going to take the responsibility of...
...this scam and resign?
Like hell I will resign!
Like hell.
Why should I resign?
I have spoken to the Party Supremo Bheema Babu.
We have cleared the misunderstanding.
Don't forget that this government is in power thanks to my support.
Rani Government can go down, but Prem Kumar never will.
Thank you.
How are you, Mukhiya Ji (Chief)?
Thank you.
Madam, people of Munda Village have organised a Ramleela in your honour.
It will be a great honour for the artists if you'll come to watch it.
I will certainly be there.
- What is your name? - Zeenat.
Good girl. Study well.
Here you go, my boy.
You too study well.
- Hello. - Hi.
There was a time when Bheema Babu used to address me as sister-in-law.
Could you spare two minutes to talk?
Hmm. Tell me.
Here?
We cannot talk here, Madam.
Actually, my husband wants to tell you something about Prem Kumarji.
Hello, Madam Chief Minister.
- You? - Yes.
I apologise for meeting you like this.
But nature of work demanded it
How can an uneducated, ignorant woman help you, Navinji?
Come on.
You still haven't forgotten that?
We are politicians.
We have to say certain things.
You should know that by now.
Please have a seat.
Please.
Honestly speaking, but that is what I thought about you back then.
Not anymore...?
Madam Chief Minister, I am the opposition leader.
I shall always oppose you.
But some of your decisions,
especially your honesty has changed my view about you.
I understand your helplessness too.
You want to do a lot, but you are unable to do anything.
Your intentions are good.
Can I ask something?
You were Saheb's college friend.
You attended our wedding as his guest.
Yes.
Then how did you two become enemies?
We aren't enemies.
But we are no longer friends either.
We used to think alike.
Then with time, we started thinking differently.
We still stayed friends.
Then this Chair came between us.
Why did you want to meet me?
I have two strong opponents in politics.
One is your husband, Bheema Babu.
And then there is that scoundrel Prem Kumar.
I have no issues with Bheema.
We always fought face to face.
I have a problem with that double-crosser Prem Kumar.
He backstabbed me.
So I want to destroy this traitor,
by whatever means necessary.
I also know this blot on you and your government...
...has been the biggest setback for you
all thanks to Prem Kumar.
I also know that you want to get rid of him, but you cannot.
Because your government will fall if you dismiss him.
That's why you are forced to tolerate him.
I want you to go ahead and dismiss Prem Kumar.
It will improve your image and give me some peace of mind.
In exchange, I won't let your government fall over this issue.
How?
He has nine MLAs supporting him...
...which he is using to blackmail you and Bheema Babu.
I will give you 13 MLAs.
Meaning?
I mean,
your government won't fall even if you dismiss Prem Kumar,
because these 13 MLAs will give you their support.
What if you back out at the last minute?
Ramsujanji?
This is support letter...
...of those 13 MLAs under the leadership of Ramsujanji.
Signed and sealed.
What else proof you want.
Praise the Lord!
Greetings, O' great sage.
I feel blessed with your presence.
Tell me, how can I serve you?
I am hungry, Lady.
Give me some alms.
I'll go get it, O' great sage.
Here you go, O' great sage.
I want you to put them in my bag.
Forgive me, O' great sage.
This boundary line signifies my brother-in-law pride.
I won't be able to cross it.
You are insulting me.
I shall curse you if I leave this place empty stomach!
Let me go.
Damn it.
Sita messed everything up.
If she hadn't crossed the boundary line drawn by Lakshman,
then there wouldn't have been such a big war.
If Sita hadn't crossed the boundary line drawn by Lakshman,
Then a demon like Raavana would have never been killed.
sometimes it becomes necessary to...
...cross the boundary to put an end to injustice.
