(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.

(judge strikes gavel)
