But why? 2241 02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:12,300 So that Dhananjoy could not arrive at the place of occurence. 2242 02:19:12,460 --> 02:19:17,250 Because if Dhananjoy had come, then all their calculations would have gone haywire. 2243 02:19:19,630 --> 02:19:23,300 Kavya Sinha had mentioned the Greek tragedies in her argument. 2244 02:19:23,380 --> 02:19:27,000 I do agree with her. Greek Tragedy. Destiny. 2245 02:19:27,090 --> 02:19:30,670 Your Lordship, destiny plays a very important role. 2246 02:19:31,420 --> 02:19:36,920 That car was like the hand of fate that took Dhananjoy away. 2247 02:19:37,500 --> 02:19:41,750 And he travelled through the darkness while holding on to the hand of fate. 2248 02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:48,090 And then the papers began. 2249 02:19:48,170 --> 02:19:51,380 Merely on the basis of Survi Parekh's testimony, we all believed that... 2250 02:19:51,380 --> 02:19:56,170 ... the security guard, Dhananjoy Chatterjee was a rapist and a murderer. 2251 02:19:56,710 --> 02:19:59,090 The antipathy that began to form in the hearts of the public, 2252 02:19:59,090 --> 02:20:01,420 was fuelled by a barrage of spicy news stories. 2253 02:20:01,590 --> 02:20:03,880 Describing Hema as 'Strangled with broken limbs.' 2254 02:20:04,090 --> 02:20:07,170 There was pressure from the society aswell as vote banks. 2255 02:20:07,210 --> 02:20:10,420 They demanded that the rapist must be hanged immediately! 2256 02:20:10,460 --> 02:20:13,500 But I do not think that she was ever raped. 2257 02:20:13,630 --> 02:20:17,590 Hema Parekh had had sex with her lover. 2258 02:20:17,750 --> 02:20:22,050 Because the samples sent to the forensics could never prove... 2259 02:20:22,050 --> 02:20:24,380 ...that Dhananjoy Chatterjee was guilty. 2260 02:20:27,800 --> 02:20:30,250 But he wasn't given the benefit of the doubt. 2261 02:20:30,500 --> 02:20:37,880 Why didn't we calculate the time of death on the basis of the undigested food? 2262 02:20:38,090 --> 02:20:43,090 Because we folded under the pressure of the vote bank like little children. 2263 02:20:43,420 --> 02:20:48,050 We forgot that there is a difference between a suspect and a convict. 2264 02:20:48,550 --> 02:20:50,590 Then he was sentenced to death. 2265 02:20:50,750 --> 02:20:53,170 The hangman's depiction of the event was released. 2266 02:20:53,170 --> 02:20:58,840 There were details like how he had spread fat over the noose. 2267 02:20:58,840 --> 02:21:01,250 And I can describe it as nothing less than disgusting... 2268 02:21:01,250 --> 02:21:06,630 ...because at that time Dhananjoy's mother must also have been reading that paper. 2269 02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:10,500 Is this Renaissance Bengal? 2270 02:21:10,670 --> 02:21:14,170 Are we the descendants of Rabindranath and Raja Ram Mohan Roy? 2271 02:21:14,750 --> 02:21:20,920 We are tearing apart a poor man who has come to trial. 2272 02:21:21,960 --> 02:21:25,380 This case may have had many alternate possibilities. 2273 02:21:25,630 --> 02:21:28,550 It might have been a case of honour killing. 2274 02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,960 Hema? Hema? Hema! 2275 02:21:32,960 --> 02:21:34,920 Why didn't we delve deeper? 2276 02:21:35,250 --> 02:21:40,380 If after severe scrutiny Dhananjoy was proved guilty then he should have been punished. 2277 02:21:41,550 --> 02:21:46,300 But it wasn't scrutinised because of the pressure applied by the society. 2278 02:21:46,590 --> 02:21:53,340 It was made public that, Dhananjoy had raped Hema Parekh after murdering her. 2279 02:21:53,630 --> 02:21:56,130 This was said to have come out in the post-mortem report but... 2280 02:21:56,170 --> 02:22:01,210 ...there is no mention of this in the post-mortem report. 2281 02:22:08,960 --> 02:22:12,880 The court will decide whether Dhananjoy was guilty or not. 2282 02:22:12,880 --> 02:22:14,670 But I'm afraid. 2283 02:22:14,750 --> 02:22:16,750 I'm scared, Your Honour. 2284 02:22:16,920 --> 02:22:20,130 Because a crowd, armoured with the support of public opinion, 2285 02:22:20,130 --> 02:22:23,630 could stone a man to death in the middle of the road. 2286 02:22:23,800 --> 02:22:27,920 And the media would cover that news. 2287 02:22:28,250 --> 02:22:30,670 And we would... 2288 02:22:32,090 --> 02:22:36,550 ...sit at home and watch it while chewing on pop-corn. 2289 02:22:42,880 --> 02:22:44,170 Destiny, Your Honour. 2290 02:22:44,500 --> 02:22:48,090 The lady sitting there was newly married at the time. 2291 02:22:48,340 --> 02:22:51,420 She was poor.
