05:08That's it.
05:11I did it.
05:12Oh, my God.
05:14What kind of inauspiciousness is this?
05:16In a man's skin,

05:21In my brother's wedding,
05:23when the goons from the big neighborhood

05:27and attacked us.
05:29Can someone tell me

08:18you will invite her for dinner here?
08:20Will you get her in court now?
08:22Japnaam.
08:29Japnaam.
08:59Japnaam.
09:30Police siren
09:35Seek the public prosecutor and SSP urgently.
09:41A girl named Paraminder Lochand
09:42has sent three letters here.
09:44See where you have kept them.
09:46Find them urgently.
09:48I want those letters on my table.
09:49Your honour.
09:53What happened, brother?
09:54What is this commotion?
09:56What do I tell you, lawyer?
09:57The judge has ordered
09:58to find a missing letter.
10:01Show me.
10:08I found it.
10:10A letter.
10:11Bharat's daughter.
10:15The court has taken the letters
10:16written by Pammi Lochand
10:17into consideration.
10:19Whoever has been accused in the letters
10:22Baba Nirala, Gopal, Michael
10:24all of them should be questioned.
10:25Michael.
10:26Summon everyone.
10:27Immediately.
10:28Yes, sir.
10:41Japnaam, Babaji.
10:43What happened?
10:45Babaji, they have come from the court.
10:48The district court
10:50has sent a summons for you, Babaji.
10:52What?
10:53Have they come to arrest me?
10:55There is no question
10:56of arresting you, Babaji.
10:58This is a summon
10:59for you to come to the court.
11:01Just a few questions and answers.
11:04Has the girl's statement been done?
11:06We have not found her address yet, sir.
11:09This judge is torturing
11:10Babaji by sending summons.
11:12Absolutely.
11:14Taking such action
11:15from an unknown letter
11:16and a statement
11:17hacked on TV
11:18is completely blackmail, sir.
11:21Now we will do whatever needs to be done, sir.
11:23You are not on the summons
11:24but pay attention to the satsang.
11:27This is a time of complete unity.
11:30The allegations against God
11:31are completely baseless.
11:33The way this has been
11:34publicly spread
11:35is wrong.
11:38We will invite the media
11:39to the ashram
11:40and they will talk to you.
11:42I just wanted to tell you
11:43not to say anything negative
11:44even by mistake.
11:50Why?
11:52Do you have any problem?
11:54Hmm?
11:58Ms. Kavita.
12:00My name is Bhoopaswamy.
12:02Ms. Kavita.
12:05Listen.
12:07Let me know if you have any problem.
12:09I can help.
12:11Help.
12:14If you need anything,
12:15I can call my family.
12:17It's nothing like that, Bhoopaswamy.
12:20He was shocked to see you.
12:23God is more important than our lives.
12:26We will give our lives
12:27to protect God.
12:32Don't worry, Bhoopaswamy.
12:35This time
12:37we won't have to call our family.
12:40This is what I expected from all of you.
12:44Greetings.
12:45Greetings.
12:49Greetings, Mr. Singh.
12:52Transfer this district judge, Rastogi
12:55today itself.
12:58He has crossed all limits
13:00beyond his capacity.
13:03As you wish, Lord.
13:09We would like to tell you
13:10that since the district court
13:11has sent a complaint to God Nirala
13:13in the Parminder Lochan case,
13:15this ashram has been turned into a police base.
13:18And as you can see,
13:19the security around here
13:20has been doubled.
13:22And as you can see,
13:23the Chief Security Officer,
13:25DIG Parwam Sinha,
13:26has just entered the ashram.
13:28What do you have to say to the people?
13:29Mr. DIG.
13:31Tell us what you have to say.
13:33Mr. DIG.
13:34One minute.
13:35Sir.
13:36Can you tell us
13:37when Baba will be taken into custody?
13:38Sir.
13:39Has he been kept under house arrest?
13:41Look,
13:42it's surprising
13:44that this case
13:45has taken all of you
13:46to the ground.
13:49Baba has only been ordered to reside,
13:51so He is happy and calm.
13:53And all of you
13:54are being welcome inside with tea.
13:56Come.
13:57Hail Lord Shiva!
13:58Hail!
13:59Hail Lord Shiva!
14:02Hail!
14:03Hail Lord Shiva!
14:04Hail!
14:05Hail Lord Shiva!
14:09Hail!
14:12Hail Lord Shiva!
14:17Glory be to God!
14:20Glory be to God!
14:25You see what your daughter has done to us.
14:30Glory be to God!
14:33Glory be to God!
14:45He was...
14:47Why are you troubling your mother?
14:50She is not well every day.
14:52Just give me a chance to atone for my sins once.
14:57After that, may God send me away from this world.
15:02What are you saying?
15:05I don't know what sins I have committed that this wretch took birth from my womb.
15:11The witch devoured the entire family.
15:13The ashram that gave her everything, destroyed that very ashram.
15:23Don't say that. She is your daughter.
15:28This is what I regret, Babaji.
15:33This is what I regret.
15:36If my husband was alive today,
15:39If my husband was alive today,
15:42If this wretch had not destroyed the oxygen pipe,
15:49You are merciful, Babaji.
15:52You are God.
15:54Forgive me.
15:57What do you have to say about your mother?
15:59A daughter like your mother should be punished for the rest of her life.
16:02She has made such a heinous accusation on a pious woman like Baba.
16:06Let's hear from other people.
16:08What should Pammi be punished for?
16:10She should be hanged.
16:12She has made such a heinous accusation on a pious woman like Baba.
16:15She is God to us.
16:17You can see how much the public is agitated.
16:21I will keep you updated on everything.
16:23You stay with me.
16:25I am Ashita.
16:26Hang her. Hang her.
16:32Sir, why hasn't the police been able to produce Parminder yet?
16:36How do you want to produce him?
16:38Do you want to make a clone of him?
16:40I don't think he exists.
16:42You are wasting your time for nothing.
16:44He is God.
16:46The light spreads around him.
16:48With a glimpse of him, all the tensions go away.
16:51Hail Babaji.
16:53I have been going to the ashram for 10 years.
16:56When I saw Babaji, everything was fine.
16:59Jai Bhagwan Nirala Singh.
17:01Japa Nam.
17:03I saw God in him years ago.
17:07And he is greater than parents.
17:09How can anyone say anything wrong about him?
17:12How can anyone think anything wrong?
17:14He is God.
17:16Japa Nam.
17:18He will be humiliated.
17:20He has made such an accusation on Babaji.
17:22Ask the millions of people who live in his faith.
17:26Our Babaji is God.
17:29There is a positive story on all your channels.
17:33Don't worry.
17:35I won't let your image be damaged.
17:39Hail Baba Khande.
17:41Hail Baba Khande.
17:43Hail Baba Khande.
17:45Hail Baba Khande.
17:47Hail Baba Khande.
17:49Hail Baba Khande.
17:51Hail Baba Khande.
17:53Hail Baba Khande.
17:54Hail Baba Khande.
17:56Hail Baba Khande.
17:58Hail Baba Khande.
18:00My dear friends.
18:02You must have heard that saying.
18:05A thief's brother is a criminal.
18:08What a great pair Ramji has made.
18:11One is Kukarmi Baba.
18:13And Mahabhast Mukhi Mantri.
18:16The reality of the government which is standing on the support of a rapist Baba is in front of you all.
18:256,000 acres of land of the government forest.
18:29It is being used as heaven.
18:33And you all know very well.
18:36What is going to happen in heaven.
18:39But unfortunately.
18:41We won't let this happen.
18:43And that's not all.
18:45We want to give full support to that brave girl Pammi Pehlwan.
18:55Baba Pakhande.
18:57Baba Pakhande.
18:59Baba Pakhande.
19:01Baba Pakhande.
19:03Baba Pakhande.
19:05Baba Pakhande.
19:14This was bound to happen.
19:23Japna Uncle.
19:25Japna.
19:27Call the Chief Minister.
19:29God wants to bless him.
19:32Yes, yes.
19:36Yes, God.
19:37Yes, God.
19:39Kukum Singh.
19:41Do you see how we are being made to fall and burnt?
19:45This Sundarlal has gone mad.
19:48He is doing injustice.
19:50So what are you doing?
19:52Yes.
19:54I.
19:56I didn't understand anything.
19:58What are you all doing?
20:00If I fall.
20:02Will you all survive?
20:04Yes.
20:06I have given you all so much.
20:10And you can't even handle a girl?
20:14He has created terror all over the world.
20:17And you all.
20:19Can't even find a clue?
20:24Kukum.
20:26You are spoiling the CM's chair.
20:30You can't even transfer a district judge.
20:35You all have done a lot of drama.
20:39Now do some action.
20:41Otherwise.
20:45He has gone mad.
20:47He has no control over himself.
20:49He creates chaos all the time.
20:51Sometimes change the judge.
20:53Sometimes stop Sundarlal.
20:55He can create trouble for you.
20:57He can't do anything.
20:59He has put a bandage around his neck.
21:02And I am not going to let him go.
21:04I am not going to transfer the district judge.
21:10I knew it.
21:15Sir, there is more danger now.
21:19Go and sit separately.
21:21And the first station of the border is Chaitapur.
21:23Before that.
21:25You have to get down there.
21:27I understood.
21:29Mr. Jagir, you have told me three times.
21:31I will meet you there.
21:34Okay, Mr. Jagir.
21:36Okay. Don't use your phone.
21:38I will find you.
21:40Okay. See you soon. Bye.
21:44Sir, through newspapers, TV and radio.
21:47We have to announce the safety and protection of the complainant.
21:51But Parminder Pahlwan has not contacted us yet.
21:54But we are trying, sir.
21:56You have only two more days.
21:58After that I will hand over to the central forces.
22:01Sir.
22:05Come.
22:16Come.
22:35My dear friends.
22:39This is Parminder Lochan and Pammi.
22:43Greetings to all of you.
22:45After seeing Pammi here, you must have understood.
22:48That the people of our state.
22:51Trust her.
22:53To be honest, I was very negative about Sundarlal.
22:57I had to struggle a lot to convince myself that.
23:01Should I bring Pammi in front of you or not?
23:04Now you have seen that you have come to the right place.
23:08You don't know my brother-in-law.
23:11My life will be lost.
23:13But Pammi will not be harmed.
23:15Every weak person in this state is like a weak girl.
23:18I will not let anyone be exploited.
23:21Whether it is legal protection.
23:23Or any other protection.
23:25I will provide everything.
23:28This Baba and Hukum Singh couple has fooled us a lot.
23:34Even if I have to fight the biggest court case.
23:37Still I will stand with Pammi.
23:41I will not let anything go wrong.
23:44So that I can feel.
23:47That the truth is behind it.
23:50You all know.
23:52That I don't have a daughter.
23:55But today God.
23:57Fulfilled that weakness of mine.
24:04Thank you all.
24:06Namaste.
24:08Pammi.
24:10What do you have to say about the allegations?
24:13Pammi.
24:15Pammi.
24:17Whatever Pammi says.
24:19The court will not say.
24:21But she is accused of killing her father and brother.
24:23What about that?
24:25Pammi, don't react.
24:27Pammi, you can't talk.
24:29Pammi.
24:35Namaste, God.
24:37Namaste.
24:39Namaste, uncle.
24:41God, we tried a lot.
24:44This Sukhinder Singh.
24:46He is the secretary of the department.
24:48He has reached the Delhi central government.
24:50But it is not possible to transfer that judge.
24:53We already knew your status, Hukum Singh.
24:58You have always disappointed us.
25:01God, you are mistaken.
25:04The district judge can only be transferred to the high court.
25:08And despite my efforts.
25:11The chief justice of the high court is not responding.
25:14Then get the chief justice transferred.
25:21You have put the money in the wrong place.
25:29Let's put it right.
25:35Let's go.
25:42Sir, a full proof case should be prepared for Pammi Pehlwan.
25:48There will be no mistake.
25:50This father has to be killed this time.
25:53Mr. Gopaswamy.
25:55You have surprised us.
25:58I am surprised, Mr. Kaushik.
26:01You have still saved my number.
26:02Mr. Gopaswamy, even if you don't save it.
26:05You are already in God's hands.
26:08So you will appear wherever and whenever you want.
26:11Jai Ho. Japa Naam.
26:14I really miss your Gurki.
26:17It feels very good.
26:19Listen, God wants to talk to your brother-in-law.
26:24It is a difficult time, Mr. Gopaswamy.
26:27People remember God in trouble.
26:29People remember God in trouble.
26:32And here God himself is remembering me.
26:35Anyway, the trouble has also risen like a mountain.
26:40Brother-in-law, Gopaswamy.
26:47Tell me, Mr. Gopaswamy.
26:49How did you remember me?
26:51Japa Naam.
26:53Chief Minister Sundar Lal.
26:55These days he doesn't come to the ashram to take prasad.
26:57God misses you a lot.
27:00Now only your God will remember me.
27:05It's time to go to jail.
27:08Tell him to make a reservation.
27:11For a long time.
27:13Oh, Mr. Sundar Lal.
27:16Don't say such bitter words.
27:18Leave it.
27:20Take this.
27:22Japa Naam.
27:24Japa Naam.
27:25Tell me, what will I do for you?
27:29I will serve you, Mr. Sundar Lal.
27:33You are an old man.
27:36You are my superior.
27:38I consider you the father of politics.
27:42Don't say so sweet, sir.
27:44It spreads a lot of poison.
27:49My heart has always been clear for you.
27:52In my eyes, you are the Chief Minister of the country.
27:57And even today, when there is a question of distrust in the eyes of Hukam Singh.
28:04Then I don't see anyone other than you.
28:08So do you want to offer me the post of Chief Minister?
28:12That will also be done.
28:14But until you take time to gather power.
28:17Until then, a trustee of yours can be given a post in your custody.
28:23Babaji, from which angle do you think I am a CM in waiting?
28:29Look, remember one thing.
28:32In politics, there is either a chair or not.
28:37And this musical chair game, you don't even think about it with us.
28:43Absolutely right.
28:44Absolutely right.
28:46I didn't expect anything else.
28:48Tell me, what do you want?
28:52Look, Babaji.
28:54We will have to fight the election again to get Mohammed.
28:58But before that, I would like to tell you one thing.
29:01I lost the last election because of your deception.
29:05You did propaganda with me.
29:09And you got votes from Hukam Singh.
29:12I have suffered a lot of loss from him.
29:14First, he will be compensated.
29:18He will be compensated completely.
29:20Only then we will talk further.
29:22Yes, he should be compensated.
29:24He has suffered a loss.
29:26You send Mr. Saleh.
29:28He will arrange for the entire prasad.
29:30And within six months, the committee should be disbanded.
29:34And elections should be held.
29:36Agreed.
29:38Just take care that we get your full support.
29:41The political brotherhood between you and me should not be disturbed.
29:48You have the habit of slipping, Babaji.
29:52I don't even move my tongue.
29:55Japnaam.
29:56Japnaam.
30:08Japnaam, Japnaam, Sundar Lalji.
30:13My time will also come.
30:27You have returned the entire treasure to Sundar Lal.
30:32Now the one who will eat the jaggery will get his ears torn.
30:35Now the beer is open to forget this sorrow.
30:39Whatever you did was right.
30:41But I didn't think that this girl would escape like this.
30:45No problem.
30:47I have bought time.
30:49Once the matter is settled.
30:51If we get a permanent solution to this problem,
30:53then we will make this poor chief minister a very rich one.
31:01I knew it.
31:03I didn't make you a pauper just like that.
31:10Cheers.
31:24Now what happened?
31:27I don't know what's wrong with her.
31:31The more she troubles me,
31:35the more that wrestler's desire increases.
31:43Once this matter is settled,
31:46then bring her.
31:47Once this matter is settled,
31:50then bring her.
31:53That's it.
31:55I will sit and talk.
32:03He has become a pauper.
32:06You will meet him in the court on Monday.
32:09He will make you pay.
32:47I will make you pay.
33:17I will make you pay.
33:47I will make you pay.
