Greetings.
I welcome you
to the first episode
of 'The Burning Cases'
in Crime Patrol.
We're bringing before you
some selected cases
which posed as a challenge
to our judiciary.
School and college are
important parts of our lives.
Our future depends
on these educational institutes.
This is where we come in contact
with the outside world
and strangers,
apart from our family members.
While some remain strangers
to us, some become friends
and some become our enemy.
We are about
to highlight one such case
which was first of its kind
and shocked not just the capital
of the nation,
but the entire nation.
It's a case filed in the capital
of the nation, New Delhi.
Son of a high-ranking
police officer
was found guilty
for this heinous crime.
Getting justice seemed to be
an arduous and impossible task.
Media and citizens were
on the same page
for the first time.
They came together
to question cops and judiciary.
It was the first case involving
high profile individuals
where CBI was asked
to investigate.
But we have to ask ourselves
while watching this episode
if this crime
could've been prevented.
If yes, how?
Could the process
of judiciary been faster?
If yes, how?
What can we do to make
our nation safe and better?
'In Sudarshini Mantu
versus Satish Sinha case'
'the court, on the basis
of circumstantial evidence'
'that have been found,
has given Satish Sinha '
'benefit of doubt
and freed him of his charges.'
Sir, the fact that
Satish Sinha is freed
on the basis of benefit
of doubt for this brutal crime..
Did the prosecution
fall weak?
Do you second the judgement?
Satish Sinha..
Let's go..
Sir.
- Please, sir..
Mr. Satish, did you confess
your crime before the cops?
Are the cops lying?
What's the truth? Please tell.
Sir, did you take advantage
of your contacts?
Did you take advantage
of your father
who is a high profile cop?
Please tell us, sir..
Please, sir. - Please..
- Please answer us, sir..
Please answer.
- Speak up! Why are you silent?
Please, sir..
Please tell us, sir..
Please, sir. - Mr. Satish.
- Please tell us, sir..
Please, Mr. Satish..
- Tell us something, sir..
Please, sir.. - Mr. Satish.
- Please tell us, sir..
Mr. Mantu,
I was saddened by the news.
Court has freed Satish Sinha
from Sudarshini's case.
It seems all of them
are together in this.
The system has gone corrupt!
What's wrong with you?
Are you fine?
What's the matter..
Are you fine?
Tell me.
- We have lost the case.
What?
We have lost the case.
The question arises
if a criminal can be set free
on account
of 'benefit of doubt'?
Does it not question
the reliability of CBI?
Is it the judgement
we have been waiting for?
The case has gone viral and
everyone has the same question.
Will the citizens accept
the judgement?
When I used to return home
she used to hug me
and ask what
I've brought for her.
And I used to show
what I brought for her.
I'm here now empty handed.
I didn't get anything for her.
Last time,
our lawyer had asked us to wait
for the next proceeding. He
ensured justice will be served.
Is this what I was waiting for?
I could not serve justice
to my daughter.
Sudarshini, I've lost.
Three years after the incident
the sessions court's decision
goes against the victim.
We have been waiting
for the judgement.
And now the judgement is being
questioned by everyone.
They want to know
if the victim's family
agrees with the judgement
or will they approach
the High Court.
No, Sudarshini.
I have no right
to enter into your room.
Till I give you justice..
Till Satish
is going around scot-free..
I will not open this door.
I'll not return
empty handed, dear.
"I'll fly among the strong
winds. I'll touch the sky."
"Nobody stops me."
"Nobody interferes."
- Wow!
Right now, you're
entertaining both of us happy.
But tomorrow,
when you'll go to Delhi
who will keep us happy?
Come on, Mom!
Don't start crying.
Dad. - Yes? - Tell Mom
not to cry and be sad.
I'm only going
to Delhi and not abroad.
Moreover, once I become a lawyer
you all will be coming
to Delhi, right?
After that, prepare
some delicious food for me
so that
your daughter Sudarshini
can give justice to people.
And then,
we'll celebrate at night, saying
'Injustice anywhere is
a threat to justice everywhere.'
Fresher.
Right?
- Yes.
Need to submit the papers?
Yes. I need to go
to the administrative office.
Come this way.
- Thank you. - Come.
Second one.
- Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Listen. I'm hungry.
Let's visit the canteen
and have something.
No. I need to go home quickly
as I have to go
to the market with my uncle.
Nothing will falter
in half an hour.
You know, snacks in this canteen
are delicious.
All famous lawyers have come up
by having these snacks.
It is so delicious!
From now on,
we'll eat here, okay?
Sure! Done!
Mister,
how much for the Samosas?
Ma'am, your bill
has already been paid.
That gentleman over there
has paid the bill.
Okay.
Did you pay
for our snacks? - Yes, I did.
You all are juniors
and new to the college.
So, consider this as a treat
from the seniors.
Okay?
But we're not even
introduced properly.
Satish Sinha.
Law. Final year.
I forgot to ask your name.
Hi, I'm Sudarshini Mantu.
Sudarshini..
Sudarshini Mantu.
Sudarshini, meet my friends.
- Hi. - Rohit and Ankita.
Hi.
Sudarshini.. Right?
Call us if you need anything.
You will find us here.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Pal, Lady Luck
is shining on you.
You hit the jackpot.
Shut up! Nonsense!
Here is piping hot tea for you.
You still didn't
take your medicines.
I've had enough.
Now, these pills are taking
a toll on me. - No way.
It's important
to take medicines on time.
Take this.
Please have your tea.
Your caring attitude
is just like your dad's.
Hi!
Hi.
Which book are you
searching for?
'Learning the Law'
by Glanville Williams, but..
I'm not able to find it.
Aren't you able to find it?
- No.
Just a moment.
Come here.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Please find out
who has the book.. Name?
Glanville Williams.
That book is with Madan Kumar.
Who?
- Madan Kumar.
His time has lapsed
to return the book.
Don't worry. By today evening,
you'll get the book.
Today evening?
It's okay.
No need to sweat over it.
I'll take it
when he returns the book.
Don't worry at all.
By today evening,
the book will be in your hands.
Okay?
- O-Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hi, Sudarshini.
The book.
As I've taken
the book in my name
return it in your
own sweet time.
Read the book thoroughly.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Hi!
Hi.
What is he doing here?
How did you get
my home address?
Actually, a friend of mine
stays nearby.
While going back,
I saw your car.
And then, I saw you.
Leave the car.
Let me drop you, today.
No, thanks.
Actually, Mansi might be
waiting for me.
I have to collect her.
Thank you.
Mansi, let's go back.
- What happened?
I'll tell you afterwards.
- But why?
Sudarshini.
Sudarshini.
Sudarshini!
Sudarshini, I'm..
It seems your girlfriend
is quite upset.
Did you ride
your bike rashly?
Hello, Mom.
How are you?
When are you coming to Delhi?
You don't miss me at all, right?
- I see.
Tell me something.
Have you forgotten us
after going to Delhi?
I am just joking, Mom.
By the way,
when will you come here?
Very soon.
Listen.
Are you eating properly there?
And your studies?
How are your studies going?
Everything is going fine.
The traffic is usually
heavy during rush hour.
That's the only problem here.
Walk fast..
- Yes, I am walking fast.
We got a flat tyre, Mansi.
Even this tyre is flat.
Did it have to happen today?
Moreover, we are getting late.
Don't blame me.
We are not late because of me.
Don't point finger at me, okay?
Hi, Sudarshini.
What happened?
You are looking worried.
Both the tyres got punctured.
No problem.
I will drop you, Sudarshini.
No, thanks.
- It's okay.
I am going that way.
I will drop you.
No, I really appreciate,
but there is an auto rickshaw.
We will manage.
Thank you.
But I..
Let me..
I'll take it, Sudarshini.
Hello.
Hello?
No one is speaking.
Hello.
- Hello, Sudarshini.
It's me, Satish.
Yes?
You are nowhere to be seen
for few days.
It seems you are studying hard.
Yes, exams
are around the corner.
That's why.
- Okay.
Are you coming
to college tomorrow?
I don't know.
I need to study now.
So, bye.
Listen.
Me?
- Yes.
What's your name?
- Satish.
What were you doing here?
- My bike has broken down.
I was trying to fix it.
Listen. The thing is
Sudarshini's engagement
has been fixed in Shimla.
Stop following her now.
And don't call her up either.
Okay.
You!
Sudarshini, I love you.
Look. I know that your
engagement has been fixed.
But you can break
your engagement
if you find someone like me
who loves you so much, right?
Look at my eyes and tell me
that you don't love me.
Stop this nonsense.
And stop following me.
I will file a police complaint
against you
if you trouble me again.
Got it?
You will find your
would-be father-in-law there.
My father.
Law does not distinguish
between citizens.
Law is equal for all.
I am warning you
for the last time.
I have come here to study,
and you are disturbing me.
I will really file
a police complaint against you
if you trouble me again.
And I mean it, okay?
Sir, I would like to complain
against Satish Sinha
who graduated
from this college.
He has already graduated
but he still comes
to the campus.
I ignore him,
but he keeps troubling me.
Sir, please take action
against him.
Don't worry.
I will talk to him personally.
Okay?
Satish, I have received
a complaint against you.
Whatever you are doing
is not right.
Focus on your career.
You have a bright future.
Why do you need to do all this?
Someone must have
given you a wrong information.
I just help my juniors.
I think she is mistaken.
Did you ever receive
any complaint against me before?
But sir,
this objection is baseless.
And why is my result withheld?
Look, Ms. Sudarshini.
It's possible.
But if anyone raises
an objection
I need to get your explanation.
I am not doing two courses,
simultaneously.
I finished my masters in 1991.
And now, I am doing law.
Submit your paper
as soon as possible
if it's true
and collect your result.
Your mom has found you
a good house on rent for you.
That's true.
And do you know why?
So that I don't face problems
in my studies.
But I am unable to understand
the civil procedure.
There are so many
do's and don'ts here.
Oh, God!
- Same here.
Moreover, there
is no one in the house.
I have to cook.
Get food from outside.
What's the problem?
Moreover, when will
your parents come?
I don't know.
They are about to come.
Do this.
Stay here.
We will study together.
Please..
No, I have to go.
Please.
Please.
Please stay here.
Sudarshini.
I would like to talk to you.
He is so shameless.
He has made my life miserable.
Relax.
Let me handle him.
Sudarsh..
Hi, Mansi.
I want to talk to Sudarshini.
She has complained
at the college against me.
I just expressed
my love for her.
I wasn't joking.
She is engaged.
It's of no use.
Stop following her.
She can't even
focus on studies
because of
all this nonsense.
I will help her with studies.
Sudarshini,
I will help you with studies.
Sudarshini,
I will help you..
Sudarshini, listen to me.
Sudarshini..
Tell her that I will help her
with her studies.
Please let me meet her once.
Please leave her alone.
She is getting defamed
in the whole college.
Please leave from here.
Hi!
Hi!
Stop the car,
I want to talk to you!
Hello!
Lower the glass.
I want to talk to you.
Hello!
Lower the glass.
I want to talk to you.
I want to talk to you.
I said, lower the glass!
Satish,
what's wrong with you!
Get off the car!
Satish!
I said, get off my car.
What's your problem?
I'm talking to you!
Get off my car!
Satish, after all,
what's your problem?
My car keys..
Satish, give back the keys!
Satish, give it back..
Satish, return my keys!
Satish!
Tell me,
what's the problem?
Sir, the problem is
I've already told him
that I'm not interested.
But he crossed
all the limits today.
Okay.
Give us your complaint letter.
Here's my apology letter.
May I go now?
I didn't file the case
this time.
And I won't tolerate
any further complaints.
You are a lawyer.
Make sure you don't
need one to bail you out.
You may leave.
Okay, sir. I'll be careful
henceforth.
Sir, I want to file
a complaint.
That was so funny.
Oh, God!
Okay, see you.
- Okay. Bye-bye!
Sudarshini!
S-Sudarshini!
Sudarshini, listen!
Sudarshini!
I said, listen to me.
I'm calling out to you
and you are ignoring me.
Leave my hand.
I love you.
I love you very much,
Sudarshini.
Leave my hand.
Look, Sudarshini,
I'm just holding your hand
because I love you.
I can do a lot more.
And listen to me carefully.
If you can't be mine
I won't let you be
anyone else's.
Do whatever you want to.
I won't spare you.
Sir, I'm seriously fed up.
Please do something
against him.
Even going out of home
has become difficult for me.
Here's my complaint letter.
Here's my apology letter.
I won't do it again.
When Sudarshini had filed
a complaint for the first time
the police took an apology
letter from Satish Sinha
and let him go,
with a warning
that he must not trouble
Sudarshini again.
But the question here is
shouldn't the police have
been more strict with Satish?
Many of us will agree
that the police was
lenient with Satish
as his father was
a high ranking police officer.
Many of us would also say
that Satish had
no criminal record
and keeping his
bright future in mind
the police was lenient
with him
and they had no idea that
Satish would go to this extent.
All these reasons were
still less for this case.
In this case,
Satish should've been charged
with IPC Section 376
and 302.
But Satish didn't care
about all this.
He didn't stop
following Sudarshini.
Rather, the truth is
he had now made this
a matter of his ego
and he had become
more cunning and smart.
Somewhere, even the police
ignored Sudarshini's safety.
But even Sudarshini
and her parents
didn't care to
realise their rights.
They should've
gone to the court
to request strict action
against Satish.
There is a legal difference
between convincing someone
and following someone.
But, in our country,
this was the time
where people were ignorant
about this.
Here, take this.
- What..
Why is it so crowed here?
- What happened?
What happened?
- What..
What happened?
- What.. - I don't know..
Hey! Who are you?
Where are you going?
This is my house.
My daughter stays here.
This is our house.
Sudarshini..
What..
Sudarshini.. - Sudarshini!
- Sudarshini!
Sudarshini..
- Sudarshini..
I'm sure
Satish has done this..
Our Sudarshini should
get justice.
We can't let that demon
go scot-free.
You must do something.
You must get her justice.
You are right.
I can't let go
of that scoundrel.
Sudarshini!
Sudarshini, I love you!
I love you, Sudarshini!
Stop the car!
Sudarshini, I want to talk!
Stop the car!
Are you out of your mind?
What do you want?
I'm fed up of you!
Sometimes, you follow me
and sometimes, my car!
What is your problem?
I love you.
Will you be my valentine?
Are you stupid?
Don't you understand
when turned down once?
I said, no!
No, means no!
That's your valentine.
How did they release him?
They were saying
that he won't be spared.
He was a monster.
Nobody kills
even an animal so mercilessly.
Kulwinder, where are you going?
To my mother's house.
It's unsafe out there.
I'll drop you. Come.
Give the child to me.
Come.
The police and court
are not meant for us.
Rich people control them.
This decision was not right.
God will change
the decision someday.
It was a plain case.
I thought
he would get punished.
I don't know what happened.
Sir, all the evidences
and witnesses
were against Satish.
But the court
still released him.
Why, sir?
Benefit of doubt.
This word shouldn't have
existed in the law.
We worked so hard
to investigate this case.
This case has become
a black spot in our careers
and our capabilities.
This case was handed over
to the CBI on the second day.
Think about it.
CBI couldn't handle this case.
What could we do then?
But Satish Sinha had
confessed his crime before us.
Yet he was released.
This is the game.
Many people
would lose their jobs
if CBI wouldn't
handle this case.
Sudarshini was
your batch-mate, right?
Yes, she was.
I have heard
that she was very beautiful.
Yes.
Her beauty became the reason
for her troubles.
Look at her fate.
She couldn't get justice
despite being a law student.
She kept saying it repeatedly
and tried to avoid him.
But..
Mansi, let's go.
What's the bill?
- Why? Let me eat more.
Mansi,
Satish is standing there.
He will trouble me.
Come, let's go home.
Why don't you do something
about it?
I complain about him
to the police every time.
They ask him to submit
and apology letter
and they let him go.
I have never seen
a shameless boy like him.
Let's go.
- Come, Mansi.
Satish, leave her.
- Leave my hand.
Satish, leave my hand.
It is hurting me.
Satish, leave her hand.
I will complain
to the police. Leave her.
People are watching, Satish.
Don't create a scene!
Leave my hand!
Satish, leave my hand!
You are hurting me!
Leave her, Satish!
Let's go.
She was tired.
11 times..
She had complained
against Satish 11 times.
He was troubling her a lot.
She was staying with her uncle
in Sarojini Nagar.
But she moved elsewhere
only because of Satish.
She moved to Greater Kailash.
He still didn't stop
following her.
Even you are a lawyer.
What do you think?
All the proofs
were against Satish.
But the case was closed
in a such a way
as though it was a case
of pickpocketing.
We'll have to get justice
for Sudarshini.
We'll have to support her.
He is getting married
after ruining our lives.
It feels like
he is mocking us
and he is trying to prove
how helpless
a girl's parents are.
You will have to do something.
Isn't there any court
or judge in this country
who will hear
a mother's pleas?
Mr. Sinha,
what shall I say?
If Ragini and Satish
are happy..
I know Satish.
He doesn't utter a word.
But I know
that he likes Ragini.
What about that case?
The court has not announced
its decision yet.
What are you saying?
The case has been cleared
long back.
The court
has released him too.
He was trapped.
We like Ragini.
Okay, Mr. Sinha.
We accept this proposal.
This was a testing time
for the people of the country.
Anger and frustration
were visible
in every sect of the society.
Many things were spoken
on the media platforms, too.
People made a strong appeal
for justice.
India was not the same
anymore.
Conditions were changing.
The number of crimes
were increasing
in the cities which were
considered safe.
People were worried for safety
of themselves and dear ones.
'People slowly started
getting involved in activities'
'related to justice.'
'Television and news media
too started playing'
'an important role
in this case.'
'CBI played a major role in
investigation of major crimes.'
'The courts took
strict measures'
'and people started
raising their voices'
'and commenting about
the law and justice.'
'People used their feelings
and emotions as their strength.'
'They stood together.'
'All the citizens came together
for the first time.'
I'm sure
that he won't get away
from the high court
this time.
But we must ensure that
he's punished for his crimes.
Sir, the evidence
was transparent
but he got a benefit of doubt
due to technical issues.
We had worked hard
and sincerely in this case.
And we also have to erase
the stigma upon us.
But I'm happy about one thing.
Even though it's late,
this time justice will prevail.
I don't know why
but I have a strange feeling
about this case.
The investigation
was carried out properly.
A man was posted
for Sudarshani's security
upon her request.
What was his name?
- Nagendra Singh.
I still remember
when Sudarshani came here
for the first time.
Sir, please help me!
He has made it difficult
for me to go outside.
I'm very troubled, sir.
Please do something.
Satish Sinha.
He's Mr. Sinha's son, right?
- Yes, sir.
He has written
an apology letter several times
yet he never learns a lesson.
Sir, I request you to take
an action against him.
Relax, ma'am.
You don't have to worry.
I'll deploy a constable
for your security.
Okay?
You should've told me
yesterday, Nagendra.
It's okay. I'm going to
drop my parents at Tis Hazari.
I'll head to college
from there.
Meet me there.
All right, okay.
Ready? - Come on!
- Shall we leave?
Dad, have you taken
all the papers?
Yes, I have.
Check with your mom once.
You've already started
mocking me?
You're always in wait
of an opportunity.
Oh, God! Stop it!
Don't argue! Come on!
Come on..
Be careful, dear.
Since you're going alone.
Okay.
- Bye! - Bye!
Sorry, ma'am. I'm late.
- It's okay, Mr. Nagendra.
Listen, stay outside.
I'll go and attend the classes.
Okay.
That will be perfect!
Are we late?
- It's okay, ma'am.
Come on..
- Come on, let's go.
It's because of you..
- We're not late because of me!
Bye, Sudarshani!
Nagendra, do one thing.
Have lunch and be back
by 5:30 p.m.
I'll be at home.
Okay, ma'am.
Shall I get food, ma'am?
Yes, bring it.
- Okay!
Give it to me.
Ma'am, I'm going out
for some time.
Why? - My friend
is coming to South-Ex.
I'll return after meeting him.
Okay.
- Okay, ma'am.
You!
- Sudarshani, listen, please..
Please listen to me.
You complained against me.
So, I just submitted
a college application.
You complained 11 times.
I've to repeatedly visit
the police station due to it.
But I've only submitted
an application for you.
I'm fed up of all this!
I want to be done with this.
So, please talk to me
about this!
Sudarshani, I admit
that I've troubled you.
I won't deny that.
But this won't be solved
unless we talk about it.
Please open the door,
Sudarshani.
I'm really sorry.
Even I want to move on!
Please open the door.
Please!
Sudarshani,
I've already told you
that no one can love you
as much as I do.
You came inside
for that, didn't you?
Showed your true colours,
haven't you!
Get out of here!
I won't hear a word!
Get out!
I don't.. - I love you!
I want to talk to you..
I don't want to talk.. Get out.
- Listen to me..
Get out!
Get out!
Satish, what..
Satish.. The lock..
Why are you locking the door!
The lock..
- I want to talk to you!
I don't want to talk!
- Listen to me..
Sudarshani, I love you..
Trust me, no one can
love you as much as I do.
Satish.. - Listen to me..
- Satish, get out!
Sudarshani, listen to me!
Sudarshani!
Sudarshani, don't run!
I'm telling you..
Sudarshani..
Let go!
Satish..
I'd told you
that if you can't be mine
no one else can have you.
I'll ruin your life today.
You were arrogant
about your beauty, weren't you?
Look at the mirror now.
Your pride will shatter.
This incident
was like a horror film.
This was a horrifying
incident that we wish
had never happened.
This incident had ruined
Sudarshani's promising future.
The lives of her parents
were ruined.
For a father,
for the officers investigating
and for the public prosecutors
began a struggle for justice.
Through this case,
the citizens learned
how the cases are twisted
then presented
before the court.
How an open and shut case
becomes a complicated one
in the court.
And how difficult it becomes
to prove a crime in the court.
Tomorrow we'll try to
understand our law and order
and legal disputes
in the second and the last part
of this case.
I, Anup Soni,
will take your leave now.
We'll meet again.
Till then, take care of yourself
and your family.
