Destiny. 2245 02:19:27,090 --> 02:19:30,670 Your Lordship, destiny plays a very important role. 2246 02:19:31,420 --> 02:19:36,920 That car was like the hand of fate that took Dhananjoy away. 2247 02:19:37,500 --> 02:19:41,750 And he travelled through the darkness while holding on to the hand of fate. 2248 02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:48,090 And then the papers began. 2249 02:19:48,170 --> 02:19:51,380 Merely on the basis of Survi Parekh's testimony, we all believed that... 2250 02:19:51,380 --> 02:19:56,170 ... the security guard, Dhananjoy Chatterjee was a rapist and a murderer. 2251 02:19:56,710 --> 02:19:59,090 The antipathy that began to form in the hearts of the public, 2252 02:19:59,090 --> 02:20:01,420 was fuelled by a barrage of spicy news stories. 2253 02:20:01,590 --> 02:20:03,880 Describing Hema as 'Strangled with broken limbs.' 2254 02:20:04,090 --> 02:20:07,170 There was pressure from the society aswell as vote banks. 2255 02:20:07,210 --> 02:20:10,420 They demanded that the rapist must be hanged immediately! 2256 02:20:10,460 --> 02:20:13,500 But I do not think that she was ever raped. 2257 02:20:13,630 --> 02:20:17,590 Hema Parekh had had sex with her lover. 2258 02:20:17,750 --> 02:20:22,050 Because the samples sent to the forensics could never prove... 2259 02:20:22,050 --> 02:20:24,380 ...that Dhananjoy Chatterjee was guilty. 2260 02:20:27,800 --> 02:20:30,250 But he wasn't given the benefit of the doubt. 2261 02:20:30,500 --> 02:20:37,880 Why didn't we calculate the time of death on the basis of the undigested food? 2262 02:20:38,090 --> 02:20:43,090 Because we folded under the pressure of the vote bank like little children. 2263 02:20:43,420 --> 02:20:48,050 We forgot that there is a difference between a suspect and a convict. 2264 02:20:48,550 --> 02:20:50,590 Then he was sentenced to death. 2265 02:20:50,750 --> 02:20:53,170 The hangman's depiction of the event was released. 2266 02:20:53,170 --> 02:20:58,840 There were details like how he had spread fat over the noose. 2267 02:20:58,840 --> 02:21:01,250 And I can describe it as nothing less than disgusting... 2268 02:21:01,250 --> 02:21:06,630 ...because at that time Dhananjoy's mother must also have been reading that paper. 2269 02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:10,500 Is this Renaissance Bengal? 2270 02:21:10,670 --> 02:21:14,170 Are we the descendants of Rabindranath and Raja Ram Mohan Roy? 2271 02:21:14,750 --> 02:21:20,920 We are tearing apart a poor man who has come to trial. 2272 02:21:21,960 --> 02:21:25,380 This case may have had many alternate possibilities. 2273 02:21:25,630 --> 02:21:28,550 It might have been a case of honour killing. 2274 02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,960 Hema? Hema?
