POLICE
Sir, there's more this way.
Sir, there's a corpse in each household.
-Hello. -Amit, DIG Paswan this side.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind.
Amit, listen carefully.
There's been a huge massacre in Manikpura village of Sheikhpura.
You're being sent there as the SP. Your orders are getting typed.
Be ready.
Found it!
What are you guys doing?
Sir, SP sir has asked us to make a big "H"
for the CM's helicopter.
We couldn't find chalk so, we're make-doing with flour.
-Flour? -Sir, don't worry.
No one was alive in the household where we got it from.
Hello, sir. Please come.
You were present here, right?
So, where are all the dead bodies?
The villagers took away all the dead bodies.
I tried to stop them, but they were adamant.
They wanted to show the Chief Minister how their people died.
-What? -I'm telling the truth, sir.
Sir, my brother is gone.
-Down with the police force. -Down with you!
Such a big incident happened.
Which officer is responsible for this?
Whose fault is this?
Sir…
it's not our fault…
but it's our incompetence.
This village is under my jurisdiction, so, I'm taking responsibility, sir.
It shouldn't be like, all of you leave as soon as I leave.
You and the SP will stay here.
The dead bodies are also not going anywhere.
A team of doctors will come and perform their postmortem in the village itself.
After that, the rituals will be performed in your presence.
And then you'll report to the DIG.
Okay, sir.
-Mr. Collector. -Yes, sir.
The preparations for the rituals will be done by you.
Sir.
Sir, who's responsible for this massacre?
Sir, what actions will be taken against them?
Please listen to the regional news at 7:30 p.m. to know about the actions
I can just say this for now that
the criminals will be behind the bars soon.
We are sending the best officer from Bihar Police
as the SP of Sheikhpura.
-But, sir,-- -Sir!
This is Akashvani Patna.
Now, you'll be listening to the regional news by Anant Kumar.
After the massacre at Manikpura of Sheikhpura district,
the Station In-charge, Ranjan Kumar, has been suspended.
Also, the DIG of Munger range has been transferred.
The Home Ministry has ordered the young IPS Amit Lodha to take charge
as the SP of Sheikhpura district with immediate effect.
Senior police officer, Sudhir Kumar Paswan has been made
the DIG of Munger range.
He has also been asked to camp in Sheikhpura.
The Chief Minister has announced
to give one lakh to the families of the deceased
and 20,000 to the injured as compensation.
Jai Hind, sir.
-What is this? -Sir, this is your official residence.
I can also see that. But, why is it in this condition?
Sir, Sheikhpura is a new district so, the SP's residence is not built yet.
This was an empty PWD house, so we're converting it into your residence.
-Let's go to the office. -Sir.
-Hello. -Hello, Tanu.
I've reached.
Tanu, I was saying that this place is very small.
There are no basic facilities.
It's worse than our flat in Patna.
Go to Jaipur for a few days with Avi.
Avi is getting late for school. I'll speak to you later.
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DISTRICT - SHEIKHPURA (BIHAR)
Jai Hind, sir. May I come in?
Jai Hind, please tell me.
Sir. SHO Sheikhpura, Kanhaiya Bharadwaj.
Welcome to Sheikhpura, sir.
Thank you. Please keep it there.
Tell me Mr. Kanhaiya. How is your station running?
It's running smoothly, sir.
Everything is under control.
Sir, I'm the brother of Kishan Bharadwaj, your IPS batchmate.
I also tried UPSC.
I didn't get through by a margin.
How much of a margin?
I wrote the mains twice.
The third time, I failed by 15 marks.
Sir, we've arrested Chandan Mahto's partner
and hard-core criminal, Bikash Chaudhury.
We have recovered an unlicensed gun from him.
We've informed the press.
If you could just announce it in front of them, it'd be great.
I'm not interested in the pawns, Kanaihaya.
You've captured him.
You do it.
Okay, sir. Jai Hind.
RESIDENCE MLA SHEIKHPURA
-Hello, sir. -Hello, sir.
Hello, sir.
-Hello. Please sit. -Yes, sir.
What did you do?
Why are you all worked up?
Speak calmly.
Do you get it? What you have done?
Yes, not much.
But I understood that I've done a bigger thing than breaking away
from the prison.
No one was chanting my name so much then.
You've lost your mind.
Do you know…
that Amit Lodha has been made the SP of Sheikhpura?
He's a sharp and brave officer.
Have you seen a railway platform?
A train arrives, halts and departs.
Then a second train arrives, halts and departs.
The same will happen to the SPs of Sheikhpura.
Wait and watch.
They've given him a free hand with the entire force.
Mr. Verma called too. He was also angry.
But, why did you do this?
Couldn't you ask me even once?
Look, the time for asking has passed.
Now it's time for me to sleep.
And time to wake up for that SP.
What's his name?
Amit Lodha.
Why did you switch off the lights?
I get scared in the dark.
I don't get peace.
Vinayak!
Jai Hind, sir.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind.
Congratulations, Amit.
Finally, you got a district to serve.
Yes. sir.
I got a big one.
It might not be big.
But, the most important district in Bihar in today's date.
And I hope you understand that.
I'm trying to, sir.
Amit, there's been a big incident here.
This place needs you.
It's not prudent only to think about your career, your posting.
There's an entire lifetime for that.
You're called here because Sheikhpura needs you.
That's because you're competent.
You can catch Chandan Mahto.
I'm sorry, sir but I feel that I'm sent here
because if I can't catch Chandan Mahto,
I can be made the scapegoat.
Just seems like I've been set up for failure, sir.
This is even better.
Then you'll have to catch Chandan Mahto.
I want you to visit Manikpura.
Meet the people there and give them assurance.
Win their trust.
Got it?
Sir.
Check every police station in Sheikhpura, right now.
I need every FIR report against Chandan Mahto on my desk
by tomorrow morning.
Let's go.
The electricity is out again.
Why haven't you arranged for a generator yet?
The order has been placed, sir,
but the thing is we have to get it from Munger.
It'll be here by tomorrow or the day after.
Whose luggage is this?
Papa, how are you?
-How are you, my hero? -Fine.
I thought you went to Jaipur leaving me alone.
-No. -You didn't go?
-No. -Okay.
You should've told me you were coming.
I would've sorted the things here.
It's okay.
A little up.
A little down.
Hello.
-Hello, Chandan Bhaiya, did you hear? -What?
That SP had visited Manikpura.
He gave reaffirmation to the villagers.
Enough, dear.
This bloody SP!
This SP and I have some old connection.
I have this feeling,
either he'll kill me…
or I'll kill him.
Hey, Chandan Bhaiya.
I'll suggest you one thing.
Let's just attack the SP's residence.
Before he kills you,
you kill that SP.
You will be famous in the entire country.
The suggestion is good, Mantri.
Have you lost your mind getting high on marijuana, Mantri?
You keep filling up Chandan Bhaiya's ears with unnecessary things.
Shall I slit your throat? Shall I?
Hey, Chyawanprash, he'll get hurt.
I've held it to hurt him, Bhaiya.
And I call you Chandan Bhaiya for a reason!
Don't act like a father.
Do you know how big of a mess we are in?
Why didn't you tell us beforehand what we had to do in Manikpur
I thought we had to target only Ravinder head man's in-law’s family
who helped catch Chotu, but no.
But no. We had to punish the whole village for one person's fault. Why?
Have you become prouder?
And people like Mantri, keep adding oil to the fire.
Hey Chawanprash, mind it.
-I'll kill you too. -Hey, shut up you all.
Don't try to be a pro bono lawyer.
All right?
No one will speak between two brothers.
What happened, Chawanprash?
Speak to me directly.
Okay, I will come to the point, Chandan Bhaiya.
We broke out from a small prison.
But now we're trapped in a bigger and an open prison.
When everything was getting legalized, then why did you have to…
Resistance is like a growing coconut tree.
You never know when it touches the sky.
That's why it should be cut off at the roots.
So, I had it cut.
The dead bodies of those 25 people
will not let 25 lakh people to stand against me.
It was required to handle the situation.
You tell me, what do you think is important?
We'll do that.
You know nothing about the dangers involved in all this.
Let's leave all this for a few days.
You go to some place
and I'll go somewhere else.
What's there with me?
I am like the wind, Chawanprash.
I'm like flowing water.
I'm all alone.
I don't have anyone after me.
I can understand your situation.
You have Meeta and the kids.
How much will the cow slog in the fields?
He has to go back home.
You do one thing.
Pack your bags and leave.
And what will you do, Bhaiya?
Why are you worried about me?
You go back with Bhabhi and the kids.
All right?
The place is very good, inspector.
You are new here.
Don't make assumptions from the old incidents.
Just remember that one dirty fish spoilt the whole pond.
The place is not bad.
For me, only this much was in my fate.
Anyway, I was not able to spend much time with my family.
I'll take your leave now.
I'll drop you at the bus stand.
No, I'll manage.
It's nearby.
KASAR STATION DISTRICT - SHEIKHPURA
What's happening?
Is it a flat tire?
Mr. Ranjan, the SP has a message for you.
We have to send you along with the police jeep and force to Sheikhpura.
I have been suspended, right? What now?
Look, we're just passing you the orders.
Now, let's go. Hey, deboard sir's luggage.
No. Why are you thinking so negative?
Why will they arrest me?
I can tell you why they've called me after meeting them.
Jai Hind, sir.
-Suspended Sub-Inspector, Ranjan Kumar. -Were you leaving Sheikhpura?
Not at my will, sir. I've been suspended.
You're not dismissed yet.
But you might be after the investigation.
And the suspended sub-inspector needs to come and sign off every day,
do you know that or not?
Tell me, what happened in Manikpur?
Sir, I'm sorry but my hands were tied.
I repeatedly requested extra force to catch Chandan Mahto.
But no one listened.
I knew it well that he'll create some ruckus in Manikpur.
How did you know?
And why did he choose Manikpur for the massacre?
Manikpur shares the same fraternity as Chandan.
During the elections, he had some issues with the headman Ravinder.
They asked me to run for the elections
or else my wife will have to wear a white saree for her lifetime.
As Chandan was planning something,
the headman made his brother-in-law inform the police about it.
We got the information and we arrived there along with the force.
Fires were shot, so Chandan had to flee the spot.
In the whole chase, his closest partner Chotu Mandal was killed.
After that, we set up a station with a few cops.
But when the Panchayat elections happened, we had to remove everything.
I was strictly against it.
But I made a single mistake.
I didn't submit a written version of this.
As soon as the force was removed,
Chandan got the opportunity and executed the Manikpur massacre.
Sir, I was the only one who wanted
to capture Chandan. Trust me.
And it's only me…
who got punished.
This is the summary, sir.
Twenty-five people were killed, Ranjan.
A suspension is nothing in comparison to that.
And don't think that you're the only one who wants to catch him.
Like it's said in these parts…
all grains are not the same.
This time he has messed up with the wrong officer.
-Hello. -Hello.
Look , I know that Chandan Mahto has fixed a monthly rate for you all
and you have been paying him under pressure or fear.
But now let's go of whatever happened till now.
After today, none of you will give Chandan even a single penny.
You don't have to worry. Your safety is the police's responsibility.
Mine too.
Your relatives also must be businessmen.
Enquire them about me. Wherever I have been posted.
My office doors are always open for you.
I will be available 24 hours for you all.
If you have any sensitive information or any update,
kindly inform us.
-Yes, sir. -All right.
What do you think, Mr. Jaiswal?
You will inform, right?
Of course, sir.
Go inside. Let's go.
Will we live here now?
What's the problem?
And there are many well-known English medium schools.
Our Dablu will study here.
You will study, right?
Sir, please let Ramlal fan us.
No, Amit. It's okay. No issue.
I'm really sorry, sir.
I'll get the generator tomorrow.
Amit, your father is a doctor.
I am a son of a laborer.
I've seen and gone through this a lot.
Sir, if anyone knows about Chandan's whereabouts, it's Ramjatan Verma.
Can we get him to confess?
No, we can't. We don't have any prime evidence.
Then he'll keep helping Chandan internally.
He might interfere with our work.
Amit, Manikpur is a big dent in the CM's tenure.
Personally, even the CM wants him to be caught.
That's why no one will interfere. Don't worry.
You tell me what you have done till now.
Sir, I've hit the hammer on the economy of Chandan Mahto.
I've pulled the plug on his extortion.
I've raided all his mining and illegal business
that was under a proxy name and made a few arrests related to it.
Sir, these villages are Chandan's possible hideouts.
He keeps moving between these villages.
The population ratio of the same caste as his is high in these villages.
He keeps shuffling among them.
Only he knows where he'll spend the night.
But the good thing is,
the educated lot of his caste are very irritated with him.
They're ready to support us.
I've set up a meeting with them
I'll arrest him very soon, sir.
Are you shutting it down, Mr. Sahu?
Yes, sir.
-Won't you give me one more tea? -Yes, sir.
Leave it, Mr. Sahu. I'm getting heartburn.
Why are you ringing the bell continuously? Avi will wake up.
Tanu.
Tanu, I'm really sorry.
I was not in the right mind that day.
And thank you for coming here.
I thought you would leave for Jaipur, but…
you came here where there's nothing.
Thank you.
I'm your life partner.
I will not track back from the partnership.
That's all I can help with from my side
You have to take care of the rest
and make sure that you don't crumble under pressure of all the situations.
That's it.
-I'll have to take-- -It's okay.
-Hello. -Jai Hind, sir.
Suspended SHO Ranjan Kumar speaking.
Yes, Ranjan, tell me.
I got some information just now, that Chandan has just left
after attending a mundan ceremony from Dhuraia village.
And tonight, he'll be at the village chief's house in Narsinghpur.
-Are you sure? -Absolutely sure, sir.
Ranjan, if this information is correct and we're able to catch Chandan,
then I'll make sure you're reinstated.
Yes, Amit.
Sir, we've got the exact location of Chandan Mahto.
He's in Narsinghpur tonight. I'm taking the force to catch him.
Best of luck, Amit.
-Bharadwaj? -Yes, sir.
How many cops are there in your station, right now?
Sir, 12 constables, four head-constables and one sub-inspector.
Leave two constables and one head-constable at the station.
The rest of you reach the circuit house.
Is it urgent, sir?
Yes, we have to raid a village.
-Where, sir? -Please reach the location first.
No problem, sir. I'll be right there.
OFFICE OF THE POLICE SUPERINTENDENT DISTRICT: SHEIKHPURA (BIHAR)
Sir, that's Narsinghpur village.
And, there's the village chief's house.
-Bharadwaj. -Sir.
Take half of the team and put a watch on the other side.
I'll start the raid from the front.
Okay, sir.
Wait for my instructions.
Yes, sir.
-Enough. -Take some more, Bhaiya.
We've killed the goat only for you.
If you don't enjoy the meal, the goat's soul will not get peace.
-Give him some. Give him some. -Yes, please give me.
He's working hard these days.
Hey, stop! Stop!
Chandan escaped from the back, sir!
Chandan!
He's coming from the other side. Give cover.
We're coming, sir.
-Kanhaiya. -Sir.
Kanhaiya, he's coming towards you.
Where are you all? Kanhaiya?
Who are you?
Why were you running?
I was not running, sir. I was showing you the way.
Bhaiya asked me to bring you here. So, I did as told.
What are you talking about?
SP sir…
greetings!
I heard you were in my village.
So, I thought of meeting you properly.
The thing is,
I met you before.
But you didn't notice me that time.
No! No!
Don't try to show your bravery and kill yourself unnecessarily.
My force is with me.
Where's your force?
They've turned weak, right?
Right?
SP sir…
this land, this village, this district and this state belongs to me.
That means the field is mine and you're a foreign player.
You can't win against me.
I've heard my sister-in-law is also in Sheikhpura.
Say hello to her from this naughty brother-in-law.
Sir, what are you doing?
They have LMG.
We'll meet again.
