Short filmTranscript
00:00We had to close the fees in three weeks.
00:29Or else, you won't get admission at this time.
00:36A Smita Jijo, Samuel John and a PV Murugan known as Thaskara Murugan from Kannur Central Jail.
00:46These three are the new witnesses.
00:49Who are they?
00:50We spoke to Samuel and Smita.
00:54It's a bit complicated.
00:55But Murugan is the real problem.
00:58He doesn't allow us to meet or talk to him.
01:02He denied our visitation request.
01:04Why?
01:05He thinks we are harassing him.
01:28Smita Jijo, DW1.
01:50Your Honour.
01:51Smita is the witness to the closure of the Central Chemical Laboratory in Kerala.
01:56Tell me, Smita.
01:57What is the connection with the laboratory?
01:59I filed a case against my daughter a few days ago.
02:04The first test result was wrong.
02:10I went to the High Court for an appeal.
02:14I won the case by doing a retest at the same time in Hyderabad and Delhi.
02:22Yes.
02:23I submitted the copies to the High Court, Your Honour.
02:26The prosecution doesn't want to cross the line, right?
02:30No. No, Your Honour.
02:37DW2, Samuel John.
02:39I filed a case against a man named Somaraj.
02:42He told me that he had done a forgery of a very old document.
02:48I was sure that I had shown a fake document.
02:52They sent me to the lab to check the authenticity of the document.
03:01The result I got from there was against me.
03:03I was shocked.
03:04I thought that I would lose.
03:05I went to the lab and examined 3-4 other labs.
03:10I got a good result from all of them.
03:13I won the case.
03:15The tension that I suffered for 5-6 months because of this lab is not a joke, Your Honour.
03:20I submitted the copies of the verdict of my case and the results to the High Court.
03:27Two years ago, I came to know that the results from this lab were not admissible.
03:32So, I filed a case against the Alaturk Court in the Jinesh Devasya v. State of Kerala AIR-212 case.
03:37The government closed this lab in the name of a good example.
03:41That's how it happened.
03:43I submitted the copies of the Alaturk case to the High Court.
03:48DW3 Murugan.
03:50DW3 Murugan.
04:09Murugan.
04:10You are known as Thaskara Murugan, right?
04:12Yes, Sir.
04:13You are serving a life sentence in Kannur Central Jail, right?
04:17Yes, Sir.
04:18Can you explain to the court why you are here?
04:23Sir, I went to jail because of a robbery in Malappuram.
04:27My mother was strangled to death.
04:30Before that, I was the one who kidnapped the girl named Theresa in Kochi.
04:43Theresa.
04:52Silence!
04:55I didn't do it on purpose, Sir.
04:57When I saw the girl walking towards me, I couldn't control myself.
05:01Then, when the villagers started running, I hid in this village.
05:04Then, when I saw the news that you were arrested, I went to Malappuram.
05:10I did it on purpose.
05:12I was the one who kidnapped the girl.
05:14No one else.
05:15Objection, Your Honor.
05:16It's a mere drama.
05:18Why me, Sir?
05:19When this student was only two months old, he took the blame and blamed me.
05:24I am old. I am lame.
05:27I know what I am.
05:28I am in a state of faith.
05:31I am trying to correct my mistakes to my partner.
05:36Is there anything else to ask?
05:38Yes, Your Honor.
05:41Murugan.
05:42Sir.
05:43How long have you known this Theresa girl?
05:46What kind of question is that, Sir?
05:48Didn't I tell you that I didn't do it on purpose?
05:50That means, I didn't know earlier, Sir.
05:55If you take this blame, what will you get?
05:58Has anyone offered you anything?
06:03I have offered, Sir.
06:05God has offered me some peace of mind.
06:07If I can do something to atone for the tears of my master's family,
06:12I can die in peace, Sir.
06:14Isn't that the greatest offer?
06:16The police are responsible for the truthfulness of Murugan's statements.
06:21The court has to inform the court of its inquiry.
06:24Defense counsel, you may proceed.
06:30Your Honor.
06:31The police have been investigating the Theresa case for six to seven months.
06:35We haven't got any evidence yet.
06:37The case proved to be dramatic
06:39just nine weeks before the crime branch was going to take up the case.
06:43This is a clear evidence.
06:45If the wrong investigation force is released, notories will be there.
06:49The police investigation team is ready to conduct a second test of that investigation force.
06:54Murugan is a criminal.
06:55He committed a similar murder in a nearby district.
06:58The police department is ready to pay attention to it.
07:02It was my life that destroyed them all.
07:06My seven years.
07:08My family.
07:09My career.
07:11This case is as clear as day.
07:15I am a compensator.
07:18If I don't get what I lost...
07:21As per section 357A of CRPC,
07:24which says about the compensation to victims
07:26and also with reference to Rithul Shah v. State of Bihar
07:30and in the case of G. S. Aluwalia and Rajiv Kumar Srivastava
07:33CRI No. 463 of 2008.
07:36If compensation is to be given to the victim due to the wrong police investigation of the State,
07:41the case must be dismissed from the court.
07:45As per the above mentioned cases,
07:47I request the court to take into consideration the fact that
07:50the case must be dismissed from the court and
07:52I request the court to take into consideration the fact that
07:54the case must be dismissed from the court and
07:56I request the court to take into consideration the fact that
07:59It has to be so because it's not an error in judgement from his side.
08:04Your Honour, it was an act of malicious intent.
08:09The case must not be dismissed from the court.
08:11It was a crime committed by a police officer.
08:14The Chief Minister's policemen were responsible for it.
08:17I know that.
08:18I have decided to take this case on behalf of this lawyer
08:21for the sake of many people like me.
08:24Justice is for everyone, Your Honour.
08:27Justice is for everyone, Your Honour.
08:30In this case, in the name of DW3 Murugan's criminal case,
08:33the accused Nishanth has been proven innocent.
08:38The court announces that the accused has been acquitted
08:41of the charges against T.N.
08:46Thank you, Your Honour.
08:47As the accused has been proven guilty,
08:50the court has come to the conclusion that
08:53the accused has been proven guilty of the crimes he has committed.
08:58The court has decided to compensate the accused
09:01with 48 lakhs of rupees and 22 lakhs of rupees
09:04for the innocent person who was sent to prison.
09:07The accused has been paid 70 lakhs of rupees.
09:14The court has also decided to compensate him
09:17with the amount collected from the investigation office.
09:23The court has decided to compensate him with the amount collected from the investigation office.
09:31Didn't I tell you when I arrested you that day
09:34you are making a mistake?
09:36But you didn't listen to me.
09:39Even I want to live, sir.
09:41I want to be healthy.
09:42I want to be a good person.
09:43I won't be able to be a criminal.
09:48It was a good job that I told you that night.
09:53This is the job.
10:09This court's ruling is a disgrace to the police.
10:12We are now standing in front of Harish Madhavan's house.
10:15Kerala Police's investigation history is a dark chapter.
10:19Harish Madhavan has not responded to the court's ruling in any other case.
10:24All the investigators are standing in front of his house.
10:27I think this is a big scene.
10:30We can't even go out of this house to pay the fees.
10:36I'll call you later.
10:43What do you have to say about the court's ruling?
10:46The court's ruling is a disgrace to the police.
10:48I've studied the case.
10:49You've responded to the court's ruling.
10:51That's all I have to say for now.
10:56What can we learn from today's court's ruling?
10:59Harish Madhavan is a police officer who is not afraid to go to any extent to win a case.
11:07Professor Nishanth is a good fighter.
11:10That's why he fought till he won the case.
11:13This is what's going to happen in my case.
11:15That's all I have to say for now.
11:17I'll tell you what I have to say later.
11:20Anish...
11:23God is with us.
11:25Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to do this.
11:27We have to wait and see.
11:29The police officers are not going to give up, right?
11:36Idiots.
11:45Move aside.
11:47Move aside.
11:49Move aside.
11:51Move aside.
11:53Move aside.
11:59The court has announced a very bad ruling.
12:02The court's ruling is a disgrace to the police.
12:04That's why, only after the court's ruling is passed,
12:08the department will pass the retirement benefits of the police officer Harish.
12:13That's all for now.
12:29Dad, don't worry.
12:32People will forget all this soon.
12:35I don't mind if I don't go to college this year.
12:39I don't mind if I don't go to college this year.
12:45I can go to college here.
12:49Dad, please.
12:51Don't be sad.
12:56Dad, is he really innocent?
13:10Sir, how do you see this new life?
13:12I don't have any complaints.
13:14I'll be happy if justice prevails in the end.
13:16I want to start my life afresh.
13:19Dear...
13:20I'll continue to fight for those who are denied justice.
13:23That's why I took LLP.
13:25Are you not going back to your old job as a professor?
13:27I have an offer from the college.
13:29But I want to move forward as an advocate.
13:31That's all.
13:32Thank you for everything.
13:34Thank you.
13:40Please.
13:52I want to be with everyone.
13:54No.
13:55No one is at fault.
13:57You can start a new life from today.
14:06Try to understand the situation.
14:08Let Sreedevi stay here for now.
14:11I don't think the reporters will leave us alone.
14:14Not only that.
14:15I know that the ex-minister Mathew will make this situation worse.
14:19He can go to any extent.
14:21Harish knows about their shady background.
14:24That's why I'm telling you.
14:26Let them stay here for now.
14:27I haven't done anything against the law.
14:30That's why I'm not afraid of anyone.
14:32I'm telling you now.
14:34No one is going to leave this place.
14:38Harish.
14:43Are you okay?
14:46Dad.
14:47Move back.
14:48Don't go.
14:50Don't go.
14:52Harish, stop.
15:09Hey, Sree.
15:10Cut this melodrama.
15:14You will be in Palakkad for two weeks.
15:18Don't tell mom about this.
15:21Tell her that I'm trying to sort things out.
15:24How are we going to arrange the money, Harish?
15:26We have to.
15:28We are trying to sell the house, right?
15:31That might be enough.
15:34We have to arrange that.
15:36We have to do something.
15:38We have to file an appeal.
15:43Dad, there is a point in filing an appeal.
15:47He is in favor of the evidence.
15:49Then we can finish everything.
15:51Is that okay with you?
15:53Sorry.
15:57Harish.
15:58These guys.
16:03Don't worry.
16:05Don't come out no matter what.
16:07Okay?
16:09Harish.
16:23What did you do?
16:24Why did you hit him?
16:26Why did you hit him?
16:28Harish.
16:34Dad.
17:04Dad.
17:35Harish.
17:59You may talk to my secretary.
18:04You may talk to my secretary.
18:34I'm innocent.
18:35I won't committ any rabbits.
18:37I won't committ any rabbits.
18:44Since when did you work for the police?
18:48You have irritated so many people even without facing them.
18:53And this pity…
18:56I just can't take this.
19:26What are you saying?
19:27Nishanth, who was in jail for 7 years,
19:29got out of jail and in such a short span of time,
19:31took up such a big case and turned it around.
19:35So, you are saying that I am a coward?
19:37You are a human being.
19:38Anyone can make a mistake.
19:39No, no.
19:41I haven't made a mistake.
19:43I can't make a mistake.
19:45I am not ready to lose and turn back.
19:54You take care.
19:56I will prove that I am not wrong.
20:26Come.
20:57Drek?
21:00Drek?
21:05Drek?
21:07Drek?
21:19Drek?
21:27Drek?
21:33Bloody son of a...
21:42I can't say this in a calm manner.
21:44It's my day to come back, master.
21:46Along with that,
21:47some of us are still guilty.
21:50Let it go, master.
21:51I can't let it go, master.
21:52Let it go.
21:53We are still guilty for what we witnessed that day.
21:57Anyway,
21:58you know, we will make it up to you.
22:00For the time being,
22:01I hope that Nishanth's new statue
22:03will be a great success.
22:17Hey,
22:18you can do anything to win or celebrate.
22:21But, in the name of that,
22:23I, poor Drek,
22:24will kill you and that Minister Mathew.
22:26Hey,
22:27don't leave him.
22:28Don't leave him.
22:29Leave him.
22:30Leave him.
22:31Leave him.
22:32Get lost.
22:33You are playing with us
22:34by giving a fake case.
22:35Don't let Nishanth go.
22:37Get lost.
22:38Get lost.
22:39Get lost.
22:40What is this?
22:51Huh?
23:06Phone rings
23:09What is this, Hari?
23:10Did we bring you here to create problems?
23:14All these videos of yours are on YouTube and Instagram.
23:17Our Drek.
23:18Drek.
23:20They killed him, Sri.
23:24I can't bear it.
23:37Shouldn't we ask Minister Mathew
23:39to kill Drek?
23:40Why should we go to Nishanth's house
23:42and create a ruckus?
23:44Don't you have any shame, Hari?
23:49Harish.
23:51Hello.
24:19What are you doing, Harish?
24:25Why are you doing this to yourself?
24:27Huh?
24:32Everyone has their own business, Harish.
24:37He won the case.
24:40He started a new life.
24:43He...
24:44I think he is innocent.
24:50You know, Harish.
24:53Everyone has left this case.
24:56It's time to let go and move on.
25:00Yeah.
25:02Do you think
25:04I can?
25:08Hmm?
25:09If I close my eyes,
25:12I can only see Teresa.
25:19This is not fair.
25:23And I believe
25:26justice has not been served.
25:29And
25:32I don't want to see Teresa again.
25:36I don't want to see her again.
25:39I cannot let it go.
25:42Huh.
25:44It's not a question of fairness or justice.
25:48Everyone has told me
25:50to change Teresa's life support system.
25:55I can't do that, Harish.
25:57I cannot do that.
25:58I will spend all my earnings
26:00for Teresa.
26:03You know,
26:04at least till the Alzheimer's takes me completely.
26:08Yes.
26:22And, you know,
26:23that is my destiny.
26:26Yeah.
26:30I have lost everything.
26:33I don't want you to lose everything too.
26:35Okay?
26:37You have a family.
26:40I have already lost mine.
27:05Anyway, I will try my level best.
27:08Sir.
27:09Hmm?
27:10You have to face such a big punishment
27:12just because you are against the law
27:14for a crime you didn't commit, sir.
27:16So, when you were in jail,
27:18did you ever doubt the Indian law or the FCL?
27:21Never.
27:23As a human, I have felt angry.
27:25For the first time.
27:27But the same law gave me back
27:29the honour of being a citizen.
27:31If it wasn't for this system,
27:33I would have been an Indian.
27:37After I joined here,
27:39Nishant Master came here.
27:41He is a sinner.
27:43When he was in jail,
27:44it was time for him to get beaten up.
27:47These sex offenders
27:49are the ones who are the most attacked in all the jails.
27:52We didn't do anything to save him.
27:55And,
27:56if you say that Narasuni has never met anyone,
27:58the police in jail
28:00won't even smile.
28:01Narasuni?
28:02The old Ibrahim Haji Vada case?
28:05Yes, that's him.
28:07He didn't lack in any way.
28:09He used to do all the dirty work,
28:11the quotation work.
28:13Why?
28:14He used to do the settlement work here.
28:17He used to make crores in jail.
28:21Hey, cut it.
28:22Hey, come here.
28:23Sunchettan is calling you.
28:32Madam,
28:33they are about to start.
28:34Why don't you come in before they kill you?
28:36Come.
29:02When I heard his true story,
29:04I couldn't help it, sir.
29:06We have seen so many criminals.
29:08He is an innocent man.
29:10He is a sadhu.
29:11You can't use violence against him.
29:14After his gang started,
29:16I started thinking
29:18if I should stop this beating and quotation work.
29:20Don't feel bad, sir.
29:22I might have become good.
29:24Sandalwood and sandalwood
29:26don't smell good, sir.
29:28That was Jailor Nishanthamash.
29:30Even Narasimha was proud of him.
29:33Everyone was jealous of him.
29:36Actually, we don't believe
29:38that he committed a crime like Harish did.
29:58Thank you for watching it.
