Yes sir

Jiddewar Sir

He is the one in camera

Hey stop. Tell me

You are up to some dodgy stuff again?

Do you want to go to jail?
(scoffs)

Do you think forest
department won't find out?

Punk, I'll get you thrown
in jail for 7-8 years

to teach you a lesson

Why?

Your Tiger killed my brother,
What about that?

Who told him to take his
cattle grazing in to the jungle

Whats Your Name?

Shirpya

You're from Hivra-Barsa Village, Right?

Yes

- Remember what I've told you
- Fine

Get going now

- Get Lost
- I'm going

Get Lost

Look at his audacity

Due to the surprising fall
in the number of Tigers in Maharastra,

in the last five years,

An NGO has filed a PIL in High Court.

Nagpur High Court has summoned

the CBI on Tuesday to conduct an enquiry

and submit their first
finding report within 3 months.

Remains of a tiger has been
discovered in the Hivra-Barsa village,

located in the premises of
Tipeshwar reserve in Yavatmal District.

It is speculated that the remains
belong to the Tiger named Jai,

who was reportedly missing
from last several days.

File a report (Panchnama)

Collect these remains
and send them to forensics

If You touch anybody from our village,

we'll teach you a lesson

Hey, Leave me

Tiger poaching punk
Take him to the Sahib

Take him in

Greetings, voter Brothers and Sisters.

Do not heed to rumours
and fake publicity

Do not be lured by money and gifts

Cast your vote only to kurad(AXE)...
Kurad(AXE)...Kurad(AXE)

Keep Kurad in your heart,

An unfortunate news comes from

- Give me some tobacco
- Vidarbha region.

A farmer from the village
of Vrindavan Takli

- Seems like the Rain is playing a sick game.
- in the Pandharkawda sector

of Yavatmal district,

- There's always either a drought or flood
- has committed suicide.

In other news, remains of a dead tiger

- were discovered near Tipeshwar forest,
Vidarbha is in trouble

- a subsector of Pandharkawda
Is my tobacco ready?

- in Yawatmal district.
- Hurry now

Forest officer Mr Jiddewar
was available on the scene to

answer our reporters' questions.

- We suspect the tiger has been poisoned

- And its no one other
than these village dwellers

- We are sure It's somebody
living in the village

This looks like our Jiddewar Saheb

Jiddewar Sir?
Yes

seriously?

- Tiger hunts their cattle,
Jiddewar Sir on TV?

attacks their farms,
family and relatives,

therefore to avenge the tiger
the villagers hatched this plan,

we suspect

If you're wondering about
the next course of our action

I assure you,
we can and will catch the Tiger's killers

Jiddewar Sir is approaching

Jai Hind

Jiddewar Sahib

Whats new, Vitthal rao

Why do you seem upset?

The Tiger Jai has been
killed by the villagers

entire forest department is shock

DYSP Sir from Mumbai
CBI has been summoned,

for investigation

Well, Let us take a photo with you

You seemed to have seen the News
villagers agree in unison

The whole country saw you,
So did we, Palgaon Villagers

Hey prepare a nice betel quid for Sahib

Chutney, Chaman with Thandai
Chutney, Chaman and Thandai

And be sure to make a simple beetle quid

Don't put any tobacco in it

Our Sahib is majestic

but deep down he's a simple man

Isn't that right, brother Vitthal?

He wasn't sure first,
but I said, look closer

We saw and immidiately
recognised you on TV

The youth of this village, the boys,

need a motivating figure like you

ofcourse, Why wont they

Our motto is

"Conservation of forest
with the participation of people"

To protect the jungle
with the help of people

(Villagers agree in unison)

This is why we consider
you as the King of the Forest

How about that Selfie

Sure. Get me the Beetle quid

What are you doing here?

Sir, I had come for Panchnama.

The wildhogs ruining the crop etc

Give that Paan

Bapurao, Come along

Need to finish some important work

Yes sir

I'll see you all

I need to leave too

Hey, who'll pay for the beetle quid?

Huh, pay? money?

who?

The one who ordered the Paan

Hey, Did I ask you?

Did I say my name and
asked you for the paan?

Why did you give it?

I'll say whatever, whenever,

why did you abide?

Why did you go there?

You asked me to

Pay for it now

Not a dime to my name
and you're asking me to pay

Listen to me,

that man who just left is the Inspector

he's an important man,
may prove useful to us

Everyone contribute 1 rupee each

Bapurao,

I wonder what these CBI
people are going to investigate

what Would those city people
know about the Village life

You need the right eye to identify

All that technology
works in the city only

CBI,

what exactly is CBI, sir?

You must've seen it on the TV.

Group of people,
investigating something or other

They are government officials,

but from the central government

Now tell me,

who is more equipped
to resolve this case

Indeed, we are sir

After all
we are born and brought up here

I know right!

As if we are incapable,

CBI has been assigned to solve it

Watch me resolve this
before they get to it

- Bapurao
- Yes

If you find out anything,
you must tell me first

Who else will I give the information sir

Yes

Deshmukh Sir, You will get
the forensic report from Mr.Polekar

This evidence is enough
to prove the poaching

Do you think poachers are still around?

usually they vanish after such incident

We must make an effort

because the poachers
may have camped here

How many Tigers are in these jungles

Sir, about 30-35

Oh!

Yes sir

Good

Whom do you suspect?

Locals or some outsiders

Possibility of poachers
being outsiders is stronger

Because China is the market
for this and it routes through Tibet

Thats why they have to be outsiders.

OK

I shall take your leave now, Dive Sir

Mr Polekar,

Please look after thier
teams stay and other arrangements

Thank you.

See you soon

Okay.

Sir your stay has been
arranged at the guesthouse.

Jiddewar, Take Sahib to the Guesthouse

- Lets Go
- OK Sir, Thank you

Approximately 30-35
Tigers in this jungle

30-35 Tiger.

On top of that this Jungle is endless,

lot of people too

Where to begin the investigation

I can see two ways.

Firstly lets talk to the suspects

and secondly,

we need to get in to
the minds of the poachers

use thier strategy
against them and catch them

Right Sir

let's See

Is it Jiddewar?
Jiddewar, yes

Come and sit with us in the back

we want to talk

I was going to navigate..

It's fine, sit with us,

Let's move

Actually Sir,

A tigress's territory
spans around 15-20 Square KM's.

A tiger's territrory
is close to 100 Square KM's

Sir, I had a query

Hmm

Forgive me Deshmukh Sir, for asking this

Why would they give this case to CBI?

(chuckles)

What skill does CBI have
that no other department can match?

CBI uses advanced technologies,

spares no evidence and reports

because we need evidence
to prove the case

What about the eye?

Us villagers have
the vigilance and vision,

to see far in to the jungle

What about that?

But the court won't accept it as evidence

Probably

But the villagers have
the eyesight of a Night Owl

of a Night Owl

Right!

thats important too

Sir, in this vast jungle,

which tiger will be attacked and when

How will we ever find out

and we don't have enough manpower

to put every Tiger
on a 24 hr surveillance

This jungle contains
nearly 35 Tigers right?

its likely that another
tiger will be attacked soon

About this T11 Tiger,

Who amongst you can
tell me more about him

You're asking about Tiger named Jai,
Bapurao, go ahead

Laxmi had two cubs, Sir.

Jai and Veeru

laxmi is the name of the Tigress, Sir

Jai and Veeru were her Cubs

I saw them as cubs,
with own eyes Sir, 2 years ago

now both have come of age

and both are marking thier territories

That means their next target
will be Laxmi or Veeru

Hows that Sir?

Because the Poachers too must've
seen them together during their recce

And generally they
target the known Tigers

would'nt bother hunting a different one

All they care about is the Tiger Skin

Right Sir!

Which Village borders this Jungle?

Sir, Katli Borgaon

Whats you name?

Bapurao Sir

watchman, Sir

Bapurao is our watchman, Sir

He belongs to a local tribe called Kolam

The place where we found Tigers remains,

he lives very close to that site

Is that so?

Bapurao

Yes Sir

You must show us around this jungle then

Ofcourse, Sir

Listen,

a CBI officer has come from the City

Confess now or they'll beat you to death

Before they draw out the
confession from you, admit now

It'll save you from all day's beating

bring me the list of suspects

Yes sir

Whats going on?

He is one of the suspects,
Sir, his photographs

Sir, these are the trap camera
photos shot while poisoning

Which Village is he from?

Hivra - Barasa

Inspector,

We found a man who has
witnessed the Tiger's killing

He says he can identify the killer too

Let the witness come
and we'll know for sure

Come along

Let him go, he did not kill the tiger

He put the poison, Sir. It's him

Sir, Reports

Was it poisoned?

No traces of Poison found, Sir

As predicted, No poisoning

But Sir, How do you know, it's not him?

Inspector,

If someone has committed the crime

and he finds out about a witness

who can identify him

He would get tensed immidiately

Look at him

Does he look tensed to you?

Sir, Did RFO sir say anything about me?

He won't, as long as we're doing our duty

Did RFO Sir mention me?

He enquired about the suspects

Once we find these
Tiger Killers, Meshram

We'll be famous

I am counting on it, Sir

Meshram,

Yes sir

countless times we've
told the villagers not to

graze thier cattle in these woods

Hey, Come here.

In the past week,
did anyone enquire with you?

about the Tigers movement?

No.. No Sir

Did you see anyone
going in the deep forest?

No Sir, I didn't see anything

Let me see that

Why are you carrying this?

For the fear of attack by a wild animal.

Its for self-defense Sir

Who granted you permission
to graze your cattle in the woods?

No One Sir

- Did I give you permission?
- No Sir..

- I want them out in 2 minutes
- Yes Sir, Right away

I am coming back to check

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

I wonder,
who puts lipstick to gather firewood

Sir, What do you think about a proposal?

You're talking nonsense Meshram

I may not have a wife,
but a second wedding at this age?

She's from a different caste too

Why Not Sir?

Lord Khanderaya also had two wives

and they were from other castes too

If God can have two wives

you are just a human being

Hey, Stop!

Cutting branches is against the law,
do you want to go to jail?

Everyday the forests are diminishing

Let it be Meshram.

Its dried wood

So what Sir.

Law is Law

Listen to your Senior

Sir is letting you go,
but I wouldn't spare you.

Our Sahib has a mellow heart

The way Lord Khanderaya
found his wife Bhanu,

our Sir is also looking for one

Enough

In the past week,

noticed anybody going
in the deep forest?

No. Don't believe we did

Think hard.

You must've seen them

I said no already, Lets go

I'm asking about the Tiger hunters

One of our Tigers is missing

about 4-5 days ago,

saw 3 men going in the deeper woods

Any mark on thier faces?

I mean, anything distinct,

how would we identify them?

One of them had light colored, cat eyes.

Hmm

OK
Let's go Deepa

What is your names?

Come along Deepa

Chanda...

The tigers don't come here, do they?

Bapurao

No Sir, no such news
around this Pachpor side

Wait

- Should we get down?
- Come on

Yes Sir

Say Bapurao,

Didn't I tell you,

give any new information to me first

What did I say, Sir?

You told them about Jai and Veeru

Had you asked,
I would have told you too

- Sheikh,
- Yes Sir

Did you notice any
outsiders near the jungle?

No Sir

from out of state

Honestly Sir,
people that migrated here have settled

and become part of the locals now

What other tribes have migrated here

There's Banjara tribe,
Beldara tribe, amongst others

When people from other
states migrate to a new land,

they invent new tricks to survive

Is there a gathering
place or local market?

Ofcourse, Sir

But the outsiders
play no part in this Sir

It's these ignorant villagers,

they know no rules follow no regulations

Let's go, Sir

The DYSP doesn't understand

What?

The culprit is among the villagers.

Outsiders have no role in this

Right Sir!

Outsiders dont know how
to navigate through the forest,

- or the Tigers hotspot
- True Sir

And why would they
bother to travel so far?

Its easier to catch a local
and pay them to do the dirty work

You have a good point Sir

Whoever is responsible,

we should find out first

Yes Sir

That's when we will be covered
by News papers and TV Channels

I always won first prize,
in elocution, in running

I was first in my college too.
Here also I want to be the first

Ofcourse, Sir

By the blessing of Lord Mahadev,

we will find the culprit

Sir, Once you catch the Tiger Killers,

what would you say in the interview

I'll name each one of
you and give you the due credit

(Distant noise)

Sir

towards the lake

there, two people are running.

They were stealing Teak wood Sir

Are you sure?

Yes, Sir

Each Teak block sells
for over 6-7 thousand rupees

Isn't this Encroachment?

yes Sir,

It's possible

Unfortunately,
Now I have to take you in to custody

Chanda..

Tear your clothes

What!?!

Tear your clothes, I say

Shred them

Rape!

This case doesn't hold any ground

Medical reports will be negative

So you need not worry

sir, since its police departments case,
we'll handle accordingly

But who knows how long
the case will run in the court

There was a similar case,

That officer had to runaround
for 6-7 years in court

On top of that, people may
never truly believe in your innocence

Let's Go

Communicate in Hindi with everyone

Anything suspicious, call me

Yes Sir

Come on Let's begin the search

How much does this cost?

200 Rupees, Sir

- Did you make it?
- Yes, we do

How many such shops make this?

4 other shops

It doesn't make sense

Is there a market closer to the jungle?

more possibilities in a
market that's closer to the Forest

Tomorrow there's a market
at Shibla very close to the forest

More,

People who migrate to a new land,

Where do they camp?

Sir, it's likely to find
them outside the village border

Because if anything
happens in the village,

news spreads quickly

It'll be impossible for
them to survive in the village

They must've camped somewhere
outside the village then

Yes

Any huts you find outside the village,

enquire with them

Yes Sir

Pay close attention
to the language they speak

Yes Sir

If there's too many people,
wait for us to come.

Don't take any action til then

- Right Sir!
- Okay.

- Let's do that
- Sir, I still feel it is someone

from the Village.

It has to be,
all our hardwork will go to waste

Let's just follow what
Sir is suggesting first

OK?

More,

you cover this region

Yes, Sir

Take the guards with you

Me and the Inspector
will go together, OK?

Yes, Sir

Cmon Let's Go

We're Cops.

We need to ask some question

Sure Sir, Ask

Some people have killed a Tiger,

we're looking for them

Why is this gunpowder here?

We make fire crackers
and to make necklaces

Compass?

It belongs to my Great grandfather Sir.

He was awarded by a British Officer

What's cooking?

Remove the lid

Its Wild Boar Sir

Hey, Dont you know,

its illegal to kill Wild boar

Cover that lid up and
Stop all this immidiately

Yes... Yes Sir

Why do you people live here,
outside the village border?

We are from Paradhi Tribe sir

Some Paradhi's have hunted
a Wild boar near Bhimkum hill

Come quickly

Why do feel they're
hiding something Sir?

He was being defensive.
Sweet talking us.

If police comes to your doorstep
and accuses you of smuggling,

you'll feel violated. feel angry.

An innocent man,
if accused of such heavy crime,

will become angry

But I saw no reaction

But Sir,

Every tribal, villager in
these parts carries a guilty concious

Because everyone at some point has hunted
an animal in this forest or taken wood

And its such a vast forest.

A single inspector or guard
proves insufficient to guard this land

If I may say so Sir,

you shouldn't have told them we're cops

They fear the cops,
get skeptical and dont speak much

I could've hidden somewhere

It's easier to catch a fearful man,

he drops clues

You maybe right

Mark this GPS Location

Yes Sir.

Call from police station

- Hello?
- Yes

Yes go ahead

-I am calling
from Pandharkawda Police station

-This is PSI Mhaske.

-Please submit yourself
to the police station immediately.

-Can you hear me? Hello?

For what crime?

-Attempted Rape

Those activists

comes to teach them this

We'll figure a way out. Come on

Sir, there's Chanda

Today, Chanda is looking
like Jilebi(sweet funnel cake)

Chanda hasn't married yet,

there is no Mangalsutra in her neck

that girl is Chanda's daughter

Meshram

Yes Sir

Last night's incident
can ruin the whole case.

we need to do something

Sir, Don't you worry.

Let me sort this.

2 minutes

Sir, look at those two men

Trading in the market,
with nothing to sell

- Keep a close eye on them
- Yes Sir

Listen, hold this,
it's a Jalebi (sweet funnel cake)

See that woman sitting there?

give these to her and say

Whatever happened,
our Officer apologises for it.

Yes Sir

No. Don't say I apologise.
Say, whatever happened, just forget it

- That's right
- Yes Sir

The Forest officer has sent this

What is it?

He says, Forget about
whatever happened last night

What happened?

What happened?

I told them,

you had asked to forget
whatever happened last night

Last night?

Who asked you to say
anything about last night

I was following the law,

smuggling wood is a felony,
is what I wanted them to know

- Yes Sir
- You Idiot!

Who told you to alter the script?

The whole village will talk now

They're leaving. Follow them
Cmon, hurry, let's go, follow them

Cmon, hurry, let's go,

Sir, Should we nab them?

Not yet.

There's a third one coming to join them

(talking in tribal language)

Did the sky carry them
off or did the sea drown them?

Someone is there on the tree.

Hey,

What are you doing here? who are you?

Nothing Sir, I am fishing

Fishing from a tree?

Yes

That's Nice,

We wanted to roam around this area.

Will you take us around?

Will you?

Come down now

We shall pay you for your service

Money...

Come on

Come on

Which species of bird is that?

Baddi.

It's baddi Sir, Lava baddi for sure

Lava..?
Lava Baddi

How to catch it, if one want's to?

If we want to catch the male

then we mimic the female's call.

Then he comes in the
trap and we catch them

You're quite knowledgeable

I am a Paradhi too Sir

What's your name?

Malgujar... Malgujar Pawar

Pawar, Can you get me Deer horns?

Put them up on a wall at home.
They look nice

Sure.. Sure Sir. why not!

Charge whatever you like

No need for money Sir.

After we hunt deer,
we throw away the horns

Instead I'll give them to you next time

Lovely

buying Deer Horns?
what exactly do you do?

I am a Cop

Oh! That's nice.

Are you on a vacation here?

Not really.

Some people have killed a Tiger.

I am here to catch them

Oh

Hey!

don't move.

We know, you are involved
in the Tigers death.

Confess now

Your accomplice Sutli is in our custody.

He is ready to take a
stand against you in the court

Tell me how did you kill that Tiger

We don't kill Tigers Sir.
We only kill wild boars

There's no bail if we kill a Tiger.

Plus years of jail time.

Also, Tigers are here now.
I've never seen one in my life

Sir, Please don't inform the
forest dept about us hunting wild boars

They will beat me to a pulp

Can you tell me, how to track a Tiger?

By its foot marks, sir

- Foot? You mean pug marks?
- Yes Sir, pug marks.

Any animal can be traced by them.

Have you ever been to Kathmandu?

No Sir

How do you go to Kathmandu?

I have no Idea.
I have only been as far as Nagpur

You must know Kathmandu in Nepal

Farthest I have travelled to is Nagpur,

I have no business going anywhere else

Sure?

Fine

Let turn it back

Listen to this

one time I had to transport
an unconscious Tiger from Maregaon

and suddenly it fell on me

Then?

Then?

For a second I thought it's awake.

I was about to get a heart attack

Wait till you hear this

During Animal Census Survey,
on a night of Buddha Purnima,

Chaudhary and I were on the Machan
(treehouse/scaffolding)

And there came along a 6 foot
giant black bear at the waterhole.

The moment we saw it,
chill ran down my spine.

As soon as it drank water and left,

Chaudhary and I run,
for our dear lives, straight home.

(Laughter)

Never returned

Hilarious

More

Sir

According to the T11 Tiger forensic
report, what was the date of it's death

19th November

19th November,

That means another Tiger
will be poached on 19th December

How can you be so sure, Sir?

Because of the full moon

No torches are needed on
full moon because of the brightness.

A Torch holding hunter
is easier to spot, even from afar

You're Right.

Sir it's so bright on full moon,

that the trees cast shadows in the night

Only 4 days till the full moon

But how will we search
the entire Forest Sir?

Not the forest,

just, near the waterbodies,

just, near the waterbodies,

No animal can survive without the water

- Right.
- Right Sir!

Greetings, My name is Sheetal Raut

I work for an NGO that looks after the
preservation and beautification of the forest

A while ago,
a forest official war accused of Rape

This case is likely to
run for 7-8 years in the court

Let it run for 15 years,

we're ready for it.

But, it'll be a waste
of your time and money

We'll bear the cost,

No problem,

Where was his conscious while raping

Imagine how my daughter
was affected by it?

It's a wrong accusation, madam

Is that so?

I have 2 Witnesses

Which 2 witnesses?

Me and my son

It's not a small matter.

- Rape is a great offence.
- Mother...

Where is your daughter's Husband?

She doesn't has a husband.

You forks may not believe in miracle.
but we do.

Be that as it may, Let's come
to a middle ground, a settlement.

What! 10 lakh Rupees?

Looks like it's going to cost me a Kidney

No, 10 lakh is too much.
It won't be possible

Why not !we're banned
from entering the jungle,

we are banned from hunting animals.

The government offers no help, neither

our ancestors were rich
enough to leave us farmland.

But the government schemes
are designed to help you.

Surely, you've received alms from them

Tree sap and ebony leaves doesn't
earn enough to feed our bellies.

We also have worry about child's future,
her education

Uncle, the Inspector has agreed to
pay for your grandchild's education. OK?

Yes, He says,

he will bear all the education related
cost like she's his own child.

Do you agree?

Ummm

Do you agree to drop charges?

It's fine Madam

Does the Inspector Sahib
accepts his part of the deal?

he accepts, he accepts, he accepts

Yes Sir, yes Sir, on my way.
Yes coming Sir

Yes Sir, I am in the Paachpohar village

It's a tiger's attack sir

Is it Veeru?

No, it can't be Veeru,

Veeru's forehead had distinct stripes

Can it be a territorial
fight between the Tiger brothers

Everyone needs a home to live,

Be it man or animal

Veeru must have killed this Tiger

Until the conservator himself arrives,

We won't let you touch the body,

No one will pick up the body.

Forest department is
treating it like a joke

Sir, He was the only
earning man in his family

None until his family
is compensated Rs.15 Lakhs

and his son gets a
job from the government

we won't let you touch his body

That's Right

(Villagers agree in unison)

Sir,

Inspector Jiddewar said,

Some villagers were
planning to kill the tiger

Ok

Please calm down I will personally take
your message to the conservators office.

We'll arrange the 15 lakhs compensation
for the deceased person's family

Please immediately remove this body

Ok Sir

His son should get a government job too.

Or we will set on a hunger
stricke out of your office.

Hey listen...

Do you live in this village

Yes Sir

Since When?

Born and Brought up

The inspector said,

some villagers were
planning to kill the tiger

Sir, can I leave?

You want to leave? Sure, go ahead

Inspector is right.

Tiger hunting plan is in action

A shocking news comes from
the Yawatmal district in Vidarbha

After taking several lives
in the village of Pachpor

located in the subsector of
Pandharkawda in Yawatmal District,

The Nagpur High Court has finally given
the green signal to the forest officials

to hunt the man-eating tiger, Viru.

Hold on a minute

Jai hind sir,

we have arranged daf (band)for tiger

yes sir I'll leave immediately

Let's go Sheikh,

The tiger has attacked
another villager in Palgaon

You guys,

go along for about 2 Kms.

in the jungle while loudly
playing your instruments

More important work awaits,

keep going

Let's go sheikh

May Sirtawar Sahib

Be Victorious

May Sirtwar Sahib

Be Victorious

May Sirtawar Sahib

Be Victorious

May Sirtawar Sahib

- Be Victorious
- Enough!

Officers,
whether Palgaon borders your jungle

or your jungle borders
our village Palgaon,

is argument ative

When your protected
wild animals like wild boar

attack and destroy our crop,

yet we rarely file an official complaint

But now your animals
are attacking humans,

villagers and we will not tolerate this.

There will be no forgiveness

Stop trying to distract
us with the same old instructions,

that a seated human looks
like a prey to the tiger

You refuse to believe that
tiger are attacking us villagers

Wouldn't your tiger recognize
a clothed prey as human,

as opposed to a naked animal

Tiger should attack
an unclothed animal as prey

All you tell us is
not to sit while working

Now, should we take
a shit while standing up too

Enough! Be quiet everyone

This is nonsense

Brother Vitthal is right Sir,

villagers are quite angry
at your Tiger's Activities

You must catch it or shift it elsewhere,
It'll be a blessing for us

Surly, we will start the
process of shifting the tiger

and I'll also try to
get the victim compensated

Please speed up your tactics.

Yes Sir,

- Put all your efforts in that
- Yes Sir,

This incident should not be repeated

Of course sir

We will speed up the
process of catching the tiger.

Be Assured

See what can be done.

Let's Go
(Glory to Sirtawar Sahib)

(Glory to Sirtawar Sahib)

What do you think?

Is it Veeru?

Surely seems to be sir

Seems like Veeru Sir

Sir,

Since You're in my village,

please come home for a cup of tea

Of course, Let's go

Come.

Come. Please come in

Come.

Hey sit somewhere else,

Please have a seat

Mother...

Bring us tea.

Water too.

It's a genuine problem for the villagers

Sir, But catching a
man-eater tiger is useless,

it should be killed.

Because no matter where it is sent,
it will attack again

NO, Sir,

Tiger will never willingly attack them

If the persons sitting
down on the ground,

to work or relive

themselves them they
appear like a four legged animal

Tiger Veeru might have thought

the same and attacked them

Its an animal, after all

After everything that has happened,

Veeru's death is sure

But he has attacked
so many people so far,

why do you think that is?

If my child goes hungry,
What will he do?

Look at the bodies of
people that were attacked

All the body parts were intact.

The moment veeru hunted them,
the villagers arrived

If my child is starving,

he too, like Veeru
will start stealing food

Your son is walking on your foot steps,

looks like he loves animals too

Yes sir,

he had made a beautiful little garden,

but soon it got infested with mice

They destroyed the whole garden,

everyday bit by bit

One day I brought home this kitten.

No more destruction

And my kid fell in
love with the kitten too

Is there anyone in the village,

who escaped form the tigers attack?

Do you remember?

There is, Sir.
A man named Keshav Madhavi had escaped.

Summon him

Yes Sir

Tell him, we're awarding money
to the survivors of Tiger attack.

He'll come for the enquiry.

How much are they
usually compensated with?

A Tiger attack survivor,
get approximately Rs 1,00,000?

Correct

1,00,000 Rs Approximately.

Inspector, is that you in the picture?

It's my grandfather in that old photo,
Sir, when he served as a guard.

Really! your grandfather

Literally same to same

DNA, More, DNA. Nature's Alchemy

Come on

Describe the attack

Not me sir. It's him.

Who? Come forth

This one Sir.

Saw the tiger in the eyes
and lived to tell the tale

What exactly were you doing?

He's asking,

describe step by step,
the incidence of the tigers attack on

I was sitting on the ground, working.

Did he come behind you?

He attacked me from behind

Show me where

Here

let us see

How did you escape?

I pushed him hard

and kept crawling back,
threatening it with this

Weren't you scared?

I was scared but had to survive sir.

I had the courage from
half pint drunk earlier

Fine

Kill it. Kill it. Kill

Kill it. Kill it. Kill

Kill it. Kill it. Kill

Hey... Hey... What is this ruckus about?

Is this your kitten?

It was stealing eggs, so they killed it

Are you mad?

Does the poor animal
know who's eggs or hen it is

You people are Brutes.

All of you people gathered
to murder one little animal.

What if your kids were
given the same treatment?

Lord Mahadev will never forgive you

I would have paid you for the eggs,
why did you kill it?

She had been stealing for a few days now.

I said nothing at first.
How long can one tolerate

Really

We need to recce the jungle tomorrow.

Yes Sir

Be there.

Keep going. Move ahead.

Hey let them go.

Bapurao, are you sure it's Veeru.

Has to be, Sir

Bapurao, do you think Veeeru never came

I don't understand, Sir.

The trap door too rusted to
work and the goat too was missing.

Whether the Tiger took it
or it simply escaped, hard to tell

Did you tie a strong knot?

Ofcourse, I did Sir.

But if the goat moved around much,
it could loosen

Fine then,

bring another goat to tie here

and remind me to make a new bill

OK Sir

Come on. Can we recce around this area?

Sure Sir

Sir, this is Tigress Laxmi's Territory.

Which tree would appropriate to build
Machans/Treehouses, to keep watch?

That direction

Should we put another one there?

Should we put another one there?

And around what time
are they usually spotted?

During dusk.. around this time usually
can we build machan in one day

Sir, Quickly get on a tree. Hurry us Now

Sir. Its Laxmi, Sir

I am sure

Why is she growling?

Sir,

For meeting with another tiger

Meeting?

You mean mating. It's a mating call

Its Laxmi's Mate, Sir

That was a close save

- That was Tiger Laxmi, right?
- Indeed sir

We have to save Iaxmi,

for her little cubs, Sir.

We have to protect Laxmi at any cost

Sir, earlier T11 and T12,
that is Laxmi and Veeru

lived in this Katli Borgaon Territory.

Their source of water
was this Katli-Borgaon Dam

Then Veeru attacked
a Tiger from Pachpor village

and claimed it as his territory,

turning Pachpor Dam as his water source

And later he attacked
a villager from Palgaon

and entered palgaon territory

making the katli Borgao
Dam his water source again

Which means Laxmi and Veeru
both share the same water source,

this Katli Brogan dam

Very good,

Inspector we should have guns
in the forest department treasury

Yes Sir, we do have guns

Great. Let's go

Let's go

Bapurao, make sure its durable

Ofcourse Sir.

Veeru is in grave danger

Rain? in this weather?

Environments changing

It shouldn't rain today

- More,
- Yes sir

are you in position?

Ready?

- More, are you in position? Ready?
- Good

Inspector,

Why hasn't the trap
for Veeru worked yet?

No Sir, The traps door is faulty.

Also I'll just relieve myself.

Come Bapurao

What say Bapurao?

Veeru hasn't been trapped yet.

is the door still intact?

The trap seems to be
testing my patience too

I know Sir.

The goat tied for bait,
went missing too.

Whether the noose loosened
or the Tiger took her, who knows.

Sir.. Sir....

Let's get on the treehouse

Is it Laxmi?

- Bapurao, is that her?
- Yes Sir. It is her-

More,

Laxmi has arrived and sitting
right underneath our treehouse.

So be alert

Yes Sir.

Laxmi is near thier treehouse, be alert

Inspector,
tell the shooters, don't shoot, it T12

Hello,

its Laxmi,

it's Laxmi, Don' t shoot.
Hold your shot

Don't shoot.

Wow!

Sir,

When there's an army of forest officers,

why would the poachers come here.

they mustv'e run away

- More,
- Yes sir

- come to our treehouse
- Yes sir

Sir, you think the poachers came here

I'm sure they did

Why would they spare Laxmi then?

No one slaughters a goose
that lays an golden egg

Which means, Veeru has been poached

why hasn't Veeru come here

He might have changed his Territory

- Jai Hind.

- Jai Hind

- Calling from Pandharkawda division office,
This is RFO Polekar speaking.

A woman has being attacked by the Tiger,
near Pachpor village premises,

- DFO Sir has ordered Forrestor
Jiddewar and his associates

- to immediately conduct a search
and submit post-mortem report. Over.

Ok Sir

that means Veeru was in Pachpor

That means Veeru never
changed his territory

let's go

Where is the site?

Right here, sir

Hey, wait, listen...

Sahib..

A woman went in the jungle for firewood,

has been attacked by the Tiger.

Villagers have been trying to
reach the forest dept since yesterday

Firewood?

Which woman?

I've no idea either

Tell me,

have you seen anyone planning
to catch or kill the tiger?

One of them had cat eyes, Sir

Will you come along with us?

To identify the suspects

Of course Sir, I'll come

- Sure
- Sure Sir

Great, I will send
someone to get you soon.

Our jeep is loaded right now.

- You will come along right?
- Yes Sir

Sir, it's a wild boar.

It's a fresh kill sir

No one to be seen around

Someone must have
shot it from a distance

No, looks like something
exploded in the boars mouth

Remember the other day,

we saw explosives with those
villagers camped outside the village,

Yes sir

it's their doing

Yes sir

If they're outsiders, how do
they speak the local language so well?

living here for over 20-25 years,
they've learned the language sir

That means, Sir, these people
have been hunting for a long time,

only now its coming to light.

Seems like thier ancestral business

Hello sir.

How many days until
the animal skin dries out?

3 days, if it's bright and sunny

It's always bright and Sunny in Vidarbha.

Inspector,

where is the nearest railway station?

Let's Go, hurry, come on

Meshram, Hurry up

Yes sir

Tea, Hot tea, Tea... Tea, Hot Tea, tea...

Tea, Hot tea, Tea... Tea, Hot Tea, tea...

Meshram, only 15 minutes
till the train leaves. Hurry

Yes sir

Tea, Hot tea, Tea... Tea, Hot Tea, tea...

They're sitting here.
will you take some tea, Brother?

Some Tea?

give us 2

Now pull out the fake Tigers nail necklace

and keep talking to them

How's the tea?

It's good

Why don't you sit inside,
the trains running empty

one of them noticed it.

now slowly ask them..

I feel I have seen you people before.

Near Shibla probably

He looked again.

Introduce yourself now

One of our Tigers was killed.

I'm from the forest department.

we're here to catch the poachers

Tell them we found a spear

We have recovered a
Spear from the poching site

The woman looked too

If you suspect us, you're
welcome to look through our luggage

He's still being defensive

Get down. get out of the train. get up.

come on. get out

get out

come on. get out

come on. get out

Sir, it's them

I admit we are from out of state,

Sir we were on a religious trip

Where?

Madhya Pradesh

There is nothing here, Sir

Come here

Why did you plant explosives
near the Pachpor dam?

We hunted a wild boar Sir

He means to say, we catch
wild boars and sell necklaces too

We're poor people Sir,

like everyone,
we too want to avoid the cops

so I just lied that we were locals

We didn't find the Tiger Skin Sir

We didn't find the Tiger Skin Sir

We are telliing the truth, Sir.

We are poor.

You'll catch us,

take us downtown, our womenfolk
and kids will suffer. Let us go Sahib

What do you say, More?

They might be telling the truth sir

We too have Pilgrimages every year

Probably they only intended
and killed the wild boar

Fine, Let them go

Thank you Sir

In all my years of service,

I have never witnessed
anything like this before

And while serving the
governments agenda to people,

we got attached to these Tigers too

Inspector, is that you in the picture?

It's my grandfather in that old photo,

Compass?

It belongs to my Great grandfather Sir.

He was awarded by a British Officer

But Sir,

The night of full moon,

hunting a wild boar
near the tiger pugm arks,

the skin drying out in 4 days,

they have to be connected somehow

Our logic was all wrong, sir

We should've discovered the Tigers skin

Its the Villagers.
It has to be someone on the inside..

Whether you believe me or not,
it's someone from the village

No...

It's not the Villagers.

They may have planned it

but they didn't kill it

More,

remember we asked a local

whether the people were
planning to hunt the tiger.

He got scared and left.

Inspector said he heard some
villagers planning to kill the tiger

Sir, I'll take your leave

Hmm.. Inspector was right.

There is a plan in action

If there was no plan,

he would have surely helped us,

When someone commits a crime,
or plan a murder,

thier fear prevents them
from interacting with the police

But the second man,
was ready to help us.

He was happy to come along with us too

Will you come along with us?
To identify the suspeds

Yes, Ofcourse Sir

You'll come?
sure?

Yes, Sure Sir

Right?

Right Sir

The Villagers did not kill the Tiger

Sir, Is something cooking in your mind?

The tribals at the train station
tried to emotionally manipulate us

We are poor.

You'll catch us. take us downtown,

Let us go Sahib

As soon as one speaks of thier family,

we connect to them,
start thinking from thier perspective

The Tiger's skin was with
the foreign looking, white woman

How's that possible, Sir?

She was one of them,

She had donned a similar necklace
we saw in the village market

How much for this?

Rs 200 Sir

Before our country Independence.

The Britishers ruled India,
and Madhya Pradesh too.

And the locals over there
would help them hunt big animal

During that exchange.

DNA transfer occured

and that's how the white,
foreign looking woman ended up there.

She was one of them

Remember we saw a Compass
from East India Company with them

But Sir, she was empty handed.

We checked all the bags thoroughly too.

Where would they hide the Skin?

She had it wrapped
around her underskirt.

And that is what we missed.

That is what we bloody missed

Sir,

Does that mean the search is over?

Until we find another Tiger's remains

If Veeru hadn't come to Palgaon,
then who took the goats from the cage?

What the.. Are the goats chewing tobacco?

Why aren't they bleating?
Santya, take them out.

Sir.

Come sir

Stop playing.
Be quiet.

Sir, it wasn't me.
It was him, your departments Meshram

Wasn't me Sir,

They said a man from
the village will kill himself

and needs money

No Sir. He told us that if
we say a wild animal attacked us,

the government will
pay 1,00,000 Rs compensation

I asked them to say, any wild animal,

he went ahead and said Tiger

Why didn't you correct me then?

Had I opened my mouth
in front of DFO sahib,

I'd have lost my job.

You understand right, sir?

Glory be to Sirtawar Sahib

Get lost now

So, they ate all the goats.

The DYSP's plan didn't
work because of them.

I was right. The villagers killed veeru.

Sir!
