Original subtitles

(Gauri) During the murder, you were present right there

with your husband, Anju Nagpal.

Just plead guilty in court tomorrow.

You still have the chance.

(Harsh) You can save not just one, but two lives.

Not guilty.

(judge) The case is now assigned to the Sessions Court.

In the judge's eyes, both of you are equally guilty.

In here, you're not with her. You're against her.

Dr. Raj Nagpal and Anju Nagpal together

murdered Roshni Saluja, covered it up

and lied about it continuously.

(tense music)

I saw the golden instrument next to Roshni didi's body.

- Objection, Your Honour. - (Mandira) Objection.

(Madhav) She's changing her statement.

(employee) And, ma'am, this is application 2, Wilson's disease.

The expected cost is Rs. 4.5 lakh.

But this one's quite a critical situation.

Then raise funds for the Wilson's case.

(employee) Yes, ma'am.

- Here. - And, ma'am, I can't find

last year's patient list. Is it with you?

It was somewhere here.

I hope I didn't leave it at home. One minute.

Ma'am, I'll ask Dr. Nagpal to check application 2.

- Okay. - Thank you.

(phone rings)

(cell phone vibrating)

- Yes, Mom? - Anju.

Roshni isn't answering her phone.

There should be a blue folder in the study.

Can you please check it for me, dear?

Sure.

(keys jingle)

(Roshni and Raj breathe heavily)

(dark music)

(title music)

(siren wailing)

(crowd chants) We want justice!

We want justice!

(reporter) The trial for the Roshni Saluja murder case

begins today in full swing.

Last week, Kamala Jadhav, the prime witness in the case,

changed her statement regarding the murder weapon.

Today's hearing will show us what strategy the lawyers representing

Dr. Nagpal and his wife decide to adopt

in response to this changed statement

so that they succeed in turning the case in their favour.

Because if they fail, then not only will the husband

go to prison for the murder of his lover

but his wife will also end up behind bars, alongside him.

(indistinct chatter)

The crowd keeps increasing.

Brother-in-law, you're going to be famous.

Sir, two separate lawyers in a co-accused case is rare.

We're making history.

As if I were not under enough pressure already,

she's stating I'm making history

and adding to my existing pressure.

You'll be fine. All the best.

Hey... sit down.

(usher) Case no. 12016.

Mishra-ji, are you ready for the cross-examination?

Yes, Your Honour.

The prime witness, Kamala Jadhav, may now be brought to the stand.

Please.

- How are you, Kamala-ji? - I'm fine.

Before we begin, I just want to check

if you have any more hidden surprises you plan to spring on us.

You see, I don't like surprises even on my birthday.

(audience laughs)

- Your Honour. - Mishra-ji.

Save your jokes for outside the courtroom.

No, Your Honour, it was important to clarify. I apologise.

So, Kamala-ji, for how many years

have you been working for the Nagpal family?

Six years, more or less.

In these six years, how did they treat you?

They've always been very nice to me.

If anyone in my family falls ill, they treat us free of cost.

I mean, since the time I've been working for them,

it's all been free of cost.

Who else is in your family?

My husband and two children.

My son is 17, and my daughter is 15.

(Madhav) What does your husband do?

- He's a car mechanic. - I see.

Will your son also join the family business when he grows up?

Will he also become a mechanic?

No, he'll become an engineer.

He helps his dad part-time.

How can you say with such confidence that he will be an engineer?

In the entrance exam last year,

he ranked 1015.

In all of India.

Wow! Your son is a gem.

You must be proud of him.

Yes, I am. He works really hard.

Which engineering college did he take admission in?

Was he admitted?

Your Honour, the defence is just wasting the court's time.

Your Honour, the defence didn't have much time

to prepare for the cross-examination.

- Allow me a few more minutes. - Granted.

So, which engineering college

did your son get admitted into?

Well...

HLEC College in Manipal.

I see. What's the tuition fee? How much do you pay annually?

(suspenseful music)

Rs. 9 lakh.

Nine lakhs! Wow.

Well, let's come to that in a bit.

Lekha-ji mentioned you had a flashback.

I mean, all of a sudden, three months after the incident,

these images popped up in your mind.

- Yes, sir. - You said you saw

the golden scalpel

- in this flashback. - Yes.

Where was it? Near Roshni-ji's body?

- What happened was... - Yes.

...we heard Ira's voice, so Anju didi asked me

to go to her room.

While I was going in, I saw Raj bhaiya

and something glinting on the floor beside him.

It had bloodstains on it.

(Madhav) Wow.

What a memory, Your Honour!

Her words have truly painted a picture.

I'm telling the truth, sir.

Okay, let's get to one more flashback.

This time, I'll take you there.

Let's see if another truth comes to light.

Five months prior to Roshni-ji's murder,

you had come to Dr. Raj Nagpal

to ask for a loan.

Do you remember that?

What has that got to do with my statement?

No, just tell me whether you remember.

Fine, at least tell me how much money you asked for.

Do you remember the amount?

Do you remember or not?

Just tell me the amount. Just say yes or no.

- How much money? - Nine lakhs.

Don't murmur. Be loud. The judge needs to hear as well.

- Repeat. How much money? - (suspenseful music)

Nine lakhs.

Nine lakhs, Your Honour.

Did Dr. Raj Nagpal give you that money?

- No, he didn't. - He refused.

So, Dr. Raj refused to give you money

to secure your son's admission in a renowned engineering college.

The son who was to become an established man

and help uplift his entire family above the poverty line.

Now, the poor boy would have to work with his father as a mechanic.

That's unfortunate.

I'm sure this must have made you angry

and resentful toward him.

Do you hold him responsible for this?

- No, sir. - You don't? Why not?

When your son comes home, covered in sweat and grease,

like his father, does it not upset you?

Does it not anger you and make you hate this man?

(music rises)

So then, when you suddenly saw the murder weapon,

that scalpel, flashing on the news,

you realised this would be the perfect opportunity

to get back at this man.

No, sir. Yes, I do hate this man.

But my son will be an engineer!

How can you be so sure that your son will be an engineer?

- Why can't he? He will be! - But how will that happen?

What do you mean? He will become one.

Where will you get the money from? How will he be an engineer?

What do you mean "where will the money come from"?

- Anju didi gave me the money! - Who gave you the money?

- (music fades) - (audience murmuring)

Who? Anju didi gave it to you?

(intense music)

Your Honour, so Anju didi gave her money.

When did she give this to you?

Do you remember the date?

How can I forget the date?

She gave it to me on the 29th of September.

(suspenseful music)

(Kamala) Our life changed from that day, sir.

On the 29th of September, Anju didi gave you Rs. 9 lakh

for your son's admission fee.

(Kamala) Yes.

Your Honour, this cannot be a mere coincidence

that this was the very day

the police discovered the murder weapon

and the news channels broadcast this footage all day,

stating the murder weapon's discovery

and making a hullabaloo of it.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Thank you, Kamala-ji.

Your cross, Mandira-ji.

When Ms. Anju Nagpal gave you the money,

did she tell you

why she was giving you that money?

Do you remember?

She said the money was only for my son's education.

And that I shouldn't use this money for anything else.

Is that it? She didn't say anything else?

So, it would be fair to say

that giving you this money

was simply an act of generosity from her?

Yes, madam. Anju didi has a very large heart.

That's all, Your Honour. No other questions.

(judge) Lekha-ji?

(clears throat) No rebuttal from the prosecution, Your Honour.

(judge) The witness may step down.

Your Honour, the defence requests that,

considering the information that's come to light today,

the court kindly disregard

the changed testimony of Kamala Jadhav.

It's a request.

(judge) Kamala Jadhav's additional testimony

will not be taken into consideration for the final judgement.

(crowd protests) We want justice!

We want justice!

(crowd) We want justice!

(woman from the mob) You killed her, you witch!

You think you can bribe people? You will definitely end up in jail!

(crowd continues) We want justice!

Brother-in-law, you snatched away Lekha-ji's trump card today.

This game is complicated, Deep.

Let's hope the trump itself doesn't change.

I am not one to gamble, but if I were,

I'd put all my money on Anju-ji.

(crowd continues chanting)

We came very close today.

That doesn't matter.

We lost our prime witness today.

Ma'am, maybe today just wasn't our day.

- But the case isn't over yet. - (Lekha tsks)

(sighs) Today was a total disaster.

No.

It wasn't a total disaster.

I mean, we now know that this family throws money

at their problems to fix their mistakes.

Until now, our focus has been solely on Raj.

Perhaps we need to redirect our focus now.

(soft music)

Exactly.

(Lekha sighs)

(knocks)

Then I have work to do.

(siren wailing)

CENTRAL JAIL

(gate screeches)

(inmate 1) Hey, look, our doctor is here.

Wasn't his hearing today?

(inmate 2) So, Doctor, how did the hearing go?

(Kamala) Yes, I do hate this man.

But my son will be an engineer!

Anju didi gave me the money.

(Madhav) This cannot be a mere coincidence

that this was the very day

the police discovered the murder weapon.

(inmate) Hey! What happened!

Hey! Have you lost it?

You'll break your arm, Doctor!

Has he lost it?

Look at him...

(Raj sobs)

(sombre music)

I thought you wouldn't come.

(intriguing music)

(Mandira) All of today's newspapers have the same headlines.

The media has already convicted you.

Are these headlines true?

Do you believe them?

What I believe is irrelevant.

You gave your house-help money

and didn't tell me.

If you want me to represent you effectively

so we can win the case,

then you must tell me everything honestly.

You can't give me these half-truths.

Fine. I made a mistake.

When I saw in the news

that the scalpel was found in my trash,

I thought the police would suspect me.

I didn't know if someone

had thrown it in my trash by mistake or...

on purpose.

On purpose? What do you mean?

(intense music)

That Raj could have thrown it there?

Yes. Raj.

I see. Go on.

Actually, when I reached Raj's house,

Ira was about to come out of her room.

I asked Kamala

to ensure she stayed in her room.

I didn't want her anywhere near the crime scene.

Later, when the police found the scalpel in my trash,

I realised that the question would arise

why I sent Kamala away and...

I panicked.

I thought, if I gave her the money, she'd take my side.

I didn't have time to think...

I didn't have time to think.

Everything happened so quickly.

I got scared.

But you have to believe me.

I did not murder Roshni.

Nor did I throw that scalpel in my trash. Please!

Mrs. Nagpal, you've been a lawyer.

You know how it is when there is a media onslaught.

That's why I want you to be

completely honest with me about things henceforth.

I don't want any half-truths.

And secondly,

from now on, you will only do as I say.

Are we quite clear on that?

(upbeat music)

Anju, is she okay?

(Anju sighs)

- (Anju) Roshni? - (sniffling)

Roshni, where are you going?

Roshni, what happened? Are you all right?

(Roshni) What happened?

Don't pretend, Anju.

I know what you are up to.

(suspenseful music)

(Fatima) Roshni looked very upset that night.

(Lekha) Was she upset right from the start?

No, actually, she seemed very happy at first.

She was interacting happily with everyone.

Then what brought about the sudden change in behaviour?

When Anju entered the party.

(upbeat music)

(Fatima) Roshni gradually started distancing herself from everyone.

She was standing alone in a corner, and then she started drinking.

Heavily. She looked quite upset.

Why do you think she was so upset?

(Mandira) Objection.

How can the witness testify about what was on someone's mind?

Your Honour, Mrs. Malhar is a character witness

and was with Mrs. Anju Nagpal and Roshni Saluja

at that party from the very beginning.

In order to properly understand and establish the chain of events

before the murder, her testimony is crucial.

Objection overruled.

- (judge) Lekha-ji, continue. - Thank you.

As I was asking, why did you feel she was upset?

At first, I thought she was upset because of Anju.

Later I realised

that it was not just Anju but because of Raj as well.

(Lekha) Why so?

The way they were with each other--

By they, you mean Dr. Raj Nagpal and Anju Nagpal? How were they?

They... looked like they were not separated.

Did they look like they were in love, Mrs. Malhar?

Mrs. Malhar, at Ira Nagpal's birthday party,

did Dr. Nagpal and Anju Nagpal look like they were in love?

Yes.

(indistinct chatter)

(Lekha) And did Roshni Saluja notice this chemistry?

I believe so.

How did Roshni react?

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

(Fatima) She was already quite drunk,

and then, she started dancing.

A little provocatively.

Why do you think she did that?

It seemed like she was doing it for Raj's attention.

(sultry music playing)

And did Dr. Nagpal give her his attention?

(seductive song playing)

(Raj speaks indistinctly)

You want something else?

Don't drink. Don't drink.

(seductive song continues)

- No. No! - (glass shatters)

(Roshni laughs)

(Fatima) Raj tried to manage her, but she was out of control.

That's why he had to forcibly take her to the room.

(door closes)

(Lekha) What happened after Roshni Saluja exited the party?

Anju went inside the same room

to talk to Raj.

She came back out in some time, and then she too left the party.

Thank you, Mrs. Malhar.

That's all, Your Honour.

Defence?

Mrs. Malhar, are you good friends

with Mrs. Anju Nagpal?

Well, you can say our social circles are the same.

No, that doesn't answer the question.

My question is: do you share a deep and good friendship

with Mrs. Nagpal? Or did you in the past?

We haven't known each other since childhood,

but I met Anju when she married Raj.

So, it wouldn't be wrong to say

that you didn't know much

about the relationship that Anju Nagpal

and Roshni Saluja shared.

- No, it's not that I don't-- - When Roshni Saluja came out

of the room, you saw this, and you also saw Anju Nagpal

- approach Roshni Saluja. - Yes.

(Mandira) What did you notice about Anju Nagpal's demeanour?

Anju approached Roshni out of concern.

(Mandira) And what was Roshni's reaction?

Roshni was angry. So she said something in anger and left.

Point to be noted, Your Honour.

Roshni Saluja came out of the bedroom.

She was angry.

Maybe she had fought with Dr. Nagpal.

But my client Anju Nagpal's attitude and approach

was only out of concern for Roshni Saluja.

Thank you, Mrs. Malhar. That's all, Your Honour.

- (judge) Mishra-ji. - (Madhav) Yes.

Did you see or hear my client, Raj Nagpal,

fighting with Roshni Saluja?

No, but Raj took her to the room angrily.

Since when have you known Raj Nagpal?

- For many years. - Are you a good friend of his?

Yes, absolutely.

And when did Raj come to you and say

that he was angry or upset with Roshni?

- Excuse me? - Forget that. Tell me this.

When Roshni came out of the room,

did she tell you that

she had been in a fight with Raj inside the room?

Did she tell you that?

No, she didn't come to me.

But like I said, she left the party right after.

Then how can you be so sure that she was upset

with Anju-ji or with Dr. Raj Nagpal?

She could have been upset with someone else?

Perhaps she was upset with you!

What?

Yes, it is possible.

The witness may please step down.

Prosecution, please call your next witness.

Your Honour, I'd like your permission to summon

to the witness stand the head nurse

at Silver Valley Hospital, Annie Noronha.

- Permission granted. - Thank you.

(clears throat)

Please state your name to the court.

Annie Noronha.

I'm the head nurse at Silver Valley Hospital.

Annie, since when have you been working at Silver Valley?

For eight years now.

And how long have you known Roshni Saluja?

For four years now.

What kind of a nurse was Roshni Saluja?

Oh, she was a great nurse.

- Great nurse. - Yes.

Why do you say that?

She wasn't just a nurse to her patients.

She was a friend.

She went above and beyond the expectations of her duty.

Sometimes even on her off days she'd show up at the hospital.

(Lekha) Oh.

(Annie) She not only took care

of her patients' health, but also cared about their every little joy.

She realised people were afraid of hospitals...

so I think she was just trying to create

a sort of a friendly environment, you know.

(Lekha) Annie, what did you think

about the relationship between Dr. Raj Nagpal and Roshni Saluja?

I always thought it was a bad idea.

- Why? - Dr. Nagpal was married.

- Hmm. - Still is.

And his wife lived in the opposite flat.

- And... - And?

Dr. Nagpal is rich. He's a renowned doctor.

And Roshni was just a... just a nurse.

Their worlds were very different.

And you thought these different worlds couldn't be merged?

No.

Did you ever speak to Roshni about this?

Yes. In fact, many times.

And what was Roshni's response? What would she say?

Roshni thought Raj Nagpal

really loved her.

Annie, in your knowledge, did Dr. Raj Nagpal ever broach

the topic of divorce with his wife, Anju Nagpal?

No, not to my knowledge.

And how did Roshni feel about this?

Roshni felt Raj Nagpal always

avoided the topic of divorce.

She was not happy about that. She was very, very hurt by it.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

That's all, Your Honour. Thank you.

- Madhav-ji? - Thank you, Your Honour.

Did Roshni ever tell you

what she liked about Raj-ji?

I mean, what did she like about his personality?

For Dr. Nagpal, his daughter was his entire world.

This was what Roshni liked most about him.

And what was Roshni's opinion of Anju-ji?

Roshni thought Anju was a bad mother.

(Madhav) Why did she think that?

When something happens to a child,

the mother is usually the first to know.

But if anything happened to Ira,

it seemed to make no difference to Anju.

Roshni thought Anju had no maternal instincts.

(Madhav) Thank you, Your Honour. That's all.

(judge) Mandira-ji?

Annie-ji, you just stated in your testimony

that Anju Nagpal had no maternal instincts, right?

Did Roshni Saluja ever tell you that Anju Nagpal would

beat her daughter or shout at her--

No, nothing like that.

There was never any talk of any kind of mental, physical

or emotional aggression towards the child by the mother?

Not to my knowledge at least. No.

Right.

Your Honour, this idea of maternal instincts

is a bit of a cliché now.

If a mother doesn't mollycoddle her child,

she has no maternal instincts. Even though we all know

that a bird too

begins to push her little babies

out of her nest

so that their wings grow strong and they can learn to fly.

That is a good mother.

You have to be cruel sometimes to be kind,

and I believe that is the kind of mother that my client,

Anju Nagpal, is.

Let's now talk about Dr. Nagpal,

for whom his daughter meant the world.

He took up the responsibility of her care

and hired a professional nurse full-time to be home with her.

And after a while, his relationship with this very nurse

turned unprofessional, and he publicly,

right in front of the child and his mother,

became involved in an affair with her.

So, what kind of a father would you say Dr. Nagpal is?

What would you say about his paternal instincts?

While on the other hand, my client, Anju Nagpal,

quit her job for 10 years,

and despite being separated from her husband,

got a flat right opposite his

so she could remain available to her child at all times.

So much so

for questioning my client's maternal instincts.

That's all. Thank you.

(judge) We will resume trial in one week.

The court is adjourned.

(judge strikes gavel)

(keyboard clicking)

(suspenseful music)

Here you go.

(Madhav) Found it.

What have you found?

It seems like it's Kadamb-ji's son's poetry.

- Is it any good, sir? - Sure.

Dog, cat, horse and elephant Plants and creature

Are but friends of nature

(door unlocks)

Look, there he comes.

Deep has arrived with the solution to all our problems.

Welcome, Deep!

What new suspect have you brought with you this time?

Look, he's taking something out.

And here is our new suspect.

No. It's the revised witness list.

She's bringing not one but two witnesses tomorrow.

Really? She's summoning them too?

(Deep) Look for a solution now.

Forget looking for a solution,

I feel it's time for me to look for my grave.

(tense music)

What is Lekha's new play now?

(man loudly groans in pain)

Let us sleep, you nephew of a whore!

- Whose death are you mourning! - Who is it?

Sit, you asshole, or I'll strangle you!

I'll check.

What happened? Let me check.

Hold on, let me check.

Hold on. Guard!

Easy there. Guard! Place your hand here.

(guard) What is it?

He needs medical help. It's urgent!

What's happened to him?

His appendix has burst. He needs surgery immediately, or he could die.

- Move aside, everyone. - Move, come on.

I've spoken to the doctor. He'll take an hour to arrive.

Okay, keep him in the infirmary until then.

- Okay. - But he could die by then!

I can help.

- Tweezers? - Sir.

Scalpel.

(melancholic music)

(Raj) Roshni! Oh, no... No...

Roshni!

(birds chirp)

(Lekha) Mrs. Saluja...

What kind of a person and daughter was Roshni?

Please tell the court.

She was bright right from when she was young.

She was kind-hearted.

After her father passed away,

she took on all the responsibilities of the house.

She moved to Mumbai for work.

She'd send me money every month.

(Lekha) You underwent a surgery recently.

Can you tell the court about this surgery?

I needed a heart valve replacement.

It was an emergency.

Mohini-ji, how did you get money in this emergency situation?

Objection, Your Honour.

Lekha-ji keeps accusing me

of wasting the court's time.

But now she herself

is drifting into a different flashback.

Your Honour, if you give me some time,

the defence will understand that I am not wasting the court's time.

- Please go ahead. - (Lekha) Thank you.

So, in this emergency, where did you get the money from?

Roshni raised the funds.

From a fundraising account of some sort.

She called on 25th July,

saying that she had arranged for the money.

And my surgery took place on 31st July.

Roshni was present for your surgery, wasn't she?

She wasn't.

You're her mother. She arranged everything.

Why didn't she come for your surgery then?

She fell sick.

But she arranged to send her aunt, my sister.

How much did your surgery cost?

Rs. 22 lakh.

(Lekha) Rs. 22 lakh!

And which hospital did your surgery take place in?

Serene Sky Hospital, Nashik.

Thank you. No more questions.

Defence counsel no. 1.

(judge) Mandira-ji?

No, Your Honour.

The witness may step down.

(Lekha) If the defence don't have any questions for Mrs. Saluja,

the prosecution would like to call Mrs. Gurmeet Nagpal

to the witness stand, please.

(judge) Permission granted.

(Lekha) Mrs. Gurmeet Nagpal.

How was your relationship with Roshni Saluja?

She took good care

of my granddaughter.

So, I liked her.

And the relationship that emerged between

Dr. Raj Nagpal and Roshni Saluja...

What was your opinion on that, ma'am?

He was happy with her.

And if he's happy, I'm happy.

Nice.

Ma'am, you have a charitable organisation

called Impact Lives, right?

After Raj's father passed away,

Raj set it up in his honour.

How sweet! And what does Impact Lives do, ma'am?

We help people in need,

those who are unable to afford medical help.

Right.

And how is Dr. Raj Nagpal

involved in this organisation?

Addressing the needs of the patients,

handling the accounts of the trust,

all this is Raj's responsibility.

I hold the signing authority.

So, does Raj Nagpal

also help with finding these needy patients?

Yes, sometimes.

And all major transactions take place

- under Dr. Nagpal's supervision? - Yes.

Raj is the one who takes responsibility

for the larger payments.

Since he's a doctor, he understands the requirements.

(Lekha clears throat)

Ma'am, Impact Lives made this donation on 25th July.

Do you confirm?

We make many donations. I don't remember all of them.

(Lekha) Sure, sure.

But you must remember your own signature, ma'am.

Is this your signature here?

- Yes. - Okay.

Your Honour, let the records state that the witness

has just confirmed that a donation

of Rs. 22 lakh was made on 25th July.

Exhibit 34.

(clears throat)

(Lekha) Ma'am, you said

that Dr. Raj Nagpal vets all the procedures and costs

and then, he comes to you to get the funds released

because you are the signing authority.

So, then you sign it.

So, I assume Dr. Nagpal vetted this transaction as well?

- No. I did that. - No, no, ma'am.

You just said he approves all major transactions.

Yes... I just remembered.

I had checked this one.

(Madhav) Objection, Your Honour.

What has this payment got to do with Roshni's murder?

Timing, Your Honour. Timing.

On 25th July, Impact Lives made a donation of Rs. 22 lakh.

Can you guess where? To Serene Sky Hospital, Nashik.

This is the same hospital where Roshni Saluja's mother,

Mohini Saluja, underwent her surgery.

Roshni Saluja called her mother on the 25th of July

and told her that the money had been arranged.

But it wasn't from a fundraiser account,

because she received this money from Impact Lives

in exchange for her abortion.

(audience murmuring)

(Mohini cries)

Merely four days before this payment transaction,

Roshni Saluja had an abortion.

In fact, she was recovering from this abortion,

which was why she couldn't be there for her mother's surgery.

This makes it evident that a deal was struck with Roshni Saluja.

The abortion of her child in exchange

for the money for her mother's surgery.

A trade of one life for another.

(applauds)

Wow! What a pair the mother and son make!

Raj had nothing to do with this.

I gave her that choice!

They weren't even married.

And he hadn't yet gotten a divorce from Anju.

Which family would want this?

(thuds)

(barfs)

(Gurmeet) Everything I did

was to protect the honour of my family.

I never pressured Roshni.

I simply gave her a choice,

and she took it.

Indeed, and what a generous choice it was.

Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

(sighs)

Your Honour, to conclude, Roshni Saluja was carrying

Dr. Raj Nagpal's baby, and this was happening

while Dr. Raj Nagpal

was getting intimate with his separated wife,

Anju Nagpal, behind Roshni Saluja's back.

The Nagpals' NGO, Impact Lives,

offered Roshni Saluja a hefty sum

on the condition that she abort her baby.

Your Honour, Roshni Saluja's happiness

was being stifled for a long time before she died.

She was being tortured emotionally.

She was being misused, be it by Raj Nagpal,

Gurmeet Nagpal or Anju Nagpal,

who bribed Kamala-ji to change her testimony.

Your Honour, the Nagpals are a family with so much privilege

that they have no fear of facing the consequences of their actions

because all their problems can be solved with just one solution.

Money.

Though late, Roshni Saluja had come to understand this.

And that is why she was silenced.

The Nagpals would have gotten away

with this as well, but thank God,

Kamala-ji arrived there at the right time.

Your Honour, I request the court to do justice

to Roshni Saluja and her family,

and punish the Nagpals for not one but two murders.

That of Roshni Saluja and her unborn child.

Your Honour, the law of this country

considers all its citizens equal, and that is why I urge

the judiciary of this country to deliver Dr. Raj Nagpal

and Anju Nagpal with a severe sentence

so that a girl belonging to a common family

does not fall for the wiles of a privileged brat again.

And with that, the prosecution rests its case.

Thank you.

Accused no. 1, Raj Nagpal, may present

their testimony, their defence when the session reconvenes.

(judge) The court is adjourned.
