'Companion.'
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Hey, stop!
Come with me. Come on.
Hey, what have you done
with the child?
Why is there blood
on her clothes?
Just listen to me.
- He's a criminal.
Hey..
Hey, you're mistaken.
Gowde, ask them to step away.
Please come, sir.
Come. He is the one.
He tried to take the girl
by force. Look.
Gowde,
take her to the hospital.
Who is this kid
and what did you do to her?
I haven't done
anything with her.
I was trying to help her.
She was on the street,
alone and crying.
Why is there blood
on your clothes?
I tried to ask her
but she didn't tell me.
It was a secluded place.
I was taking her somewhere safe.
I was about to call you
that she ran away.
These people mistook me
and started beating me.
What is your name?
- Saroj.
Sir, I found her right here.
Sawant, check around this place.
You might find something.
Sir. - Was there someone
with her?
Sir, this is the man who said
he found the girl here.
How is she now? - I asked
Gowde to take her
to the hospital.
You have an alibi to support
your claim of finding her here?
How would I, sir? There was
no one here when I rescued her.
If you're trying to mislead us,
this won't end well for you.
Sir, it's the truth.
We'll see about that.
Hello? - Sir, there are no
external injuries on the girl.
There is just blood
on her clothes.
Signs of molestation?
- No, sir.
But there are scratch marks
on her neck.
Someone might have tried
to strangle her.
If that is true, why is there
so much blood on her clothes?
Sir!
Sir, there is blood
at that spot.
I'll call you later.
There are trails of blood here,
as if someone was dragged.
Come.
We found blood on the street.
And stains of blood
all the way till here.
The murder was done there
and the corpse is dumped here.
Kuldeep,
match the blood of the victim
with that on the girl's clothes.
Let's deal with Saroj till then.
- Sir.
Hello.
I, Senior Inspector
Abhimanyu Jindal
welcome you
to 'Crime Patrol Dastak'.
In this case, Saroj seemed
to be the strongest suspect
but he was constantly
pleading innocent.
The state we found the girl in
was shocking to us.
The strangest thing was that
the girl's clothes had blood
though someone tried
to strangle her.
And the victim was stabbed
to death.
If the victim's murderer
also attacked the child
why would the criminal
try to strangle one
and stab the other
at the same crime scene?
It became important to know
how the girls were related.
Did they know one another?
Dear, do you know her?
Don't be scared, dear.
Okay, tell me.
You must know this man.
He is the one who attacked you
and killed her.
Okay, dear.
Don't be afraid.
We won't talk about them, okay?
Yes, sir.
Dear, you're a brave girl,
right?
Don't be afraid.
Do you want to go
to your mom?
But how do we take you there?
We don't know your name.
What is your name?
Ridhi.
- Nice name!
And what is your mother's name?
Tell me.
Meera.
- Wow!
You know everything.
You don't know?
No problem.
We'll find your home.
But you told us yours
and your mom's name. You didn't
tell us your dad's name.
Dear, what is
your father's name?
Dude.
Dude?
So your father's name
is Dude?
Ridhi, what is your last name?
Ridhi Deshmukh.
Deshmukh.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I, Nirmukta Pandey
am about to present
my latest designs
in front of my in-laws.
And now, music!
Stop all this nonsense.
And don't you have shame
doing all this at this age?
Kamla, what is the problem?
Look at your
daughter-in-law's talent.
She has designed such nice
clothes for people of our age.
Enough.
Stop praising her.
And she's doing all this despite
being a mother of a girl.
But, Mother-in-law..
- Stop it.
If you want to achieve
something, give us a grandson.
'Rahul Dev in a new form
in his new murderous adventure.'
No! No.. Let me go.
Please forgive me.
What have I done to you?
Forgive me!
Cut!
What the heck!
Kavya, are you all right?
Bring a medic.
- Art department!
Rahul, I just asked you to
pretend like you were stabbing.
Why did you hurt her?
What if it was a real knife?
- It was an accident.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Give me the puff.
Sorry.
What happened?
What is it?
Why are you so scared?
Did you have a bad dream?
It's okay, you're safe.
That girl give us her
parents names and hers.
But she calls her father Dude.
How could that be a name?
- It's possible
that her mother calls him that
so she does too.
But the girl didn't identify
our victim.
'Hey, what have you done
with the child?'
'Check around this place.
You might find something.'
'There are multiple
stabbing marks.'
'Match the blood of the victim
with the girl's clothes.'
'If you want to achieve
something, give us a grandson.'
'Forgive me!
What have I done to you?'
This girl got scared
when she saw this picture.
Are they connected or..
- Sir.
Sir, the blood of the victim
matched that
from the girl's clothes.
- So it is confirmed
that the girl was present
during the victim's murder.
If that is true,
why didn't she recognise her?
To solve this mystery,
we only have their names yet.
But we'll use that to find
Ridhi's family and the victim's.
There is one way. During
Ridhi's medical examination
one thing came to light.
There are stitches on her calf.
The doctor said that she
had a fracture
that led to a surgery.
We can find out through this
where she was operated.
- Okay.
Also scan the missing complaints
with the name Deshmukh.
And find out if someone named
Deshmukh is connected to Saroj.
Sure, sir.
Mr. Pandey..
Sorry, not Mr. Pandey.
Honey, right?
Not even honey?
Then hubby!
In order to make this night
even more romantic
here I present,
to make my hubby more handsome
saffron infused milk.
Mr. Pandey, this time,
it could be a boy.
Sir, Ridhi underwent this
surgery a couple of years ago.
Her leg was fractured
and a metal plate
had to be put for support.
- Doctor..
The number
on this metal plate..
How did it get there?
- These have serial numbers.
So we can reach the manufacturer
using this number.
That way we can find out
what hospital it was sent to
where Ridhi was operated.
Then we can get
Ridhi's details.
Your lunch!
Do eat it all.
It's so big!
Who did you bring it for?
Me or Big Foot?
I won't wear it.
- Then throw it away.
I bought a gift for you
and instead of thanking me
you're complaining.
If you don't like it, throw it.
Who said that it's bad?
She bought it for you.
At least show gratitude
for her love.
Even after so many years
of marriage
she buys you gifts.
- One second.
How did you get hurt?
Did Manoj hit you?
She must have done
something lowly.
Or Manoj doesn't hit people.
- Why do you always..
Father-in-law, no need
to defend me.
And mother-in-law's taunts are
sweeter than Manoj's beating.
My marriage with Manoj
will eventually become better.
Don't you worry.
For now, I will bridge the gap
between you two.
How does it look now?
After I stitch it,
it will look good.
Even when you touch scrap,
it turns into gold.
I know that only you
can fix our useless son.
Father-in-law,
I have decided something.
Tomorrow is our marriage
anniversary.
I have planned a surprise
for him.
I think he'll like it
and everything will be okay.
Best of luck.
- Thank you.
One tea, please.
'Police found dead woman and
missing child on Aarey Road.'
'The number you're trying to
call is currently switched off.'
Let's go.
Mom, change my name
to a boy's name.
And even design boys'
clothes for me.
I can have short hair too.
I will turn into a boy
and grandma will have
a grandson like she wanted.
Really? And when you
have a baby brother
am I to turn him into a girl?
- Yes.
I will make him my sister.
That will make you happy
and even the family.
Sir, Saroj's background check
didn't give us any leads
that signalled towards
him knowing Deshmukh.
But from his village, we found
out that three years ago
his wife and daughter
disappeared.
The local police suspected
that he was the culprit.
But there was no evidence
against him.
What could be
the connection between
the disappearance
of Saroj's wife and daughter
and the murder
of this girl and Riddhi?
Sir, we interrogated him a lot.
But he is still saying
that he didn't do anything.
- Instead of keeping Saroj here
and interrogating him
leave him and keep
an eye on him.
If he has done anything,
he can give us a lead.
Today is our
anniversary, right?
So, to give us space
everyone has gone
to uncle's house.
Happy anniversary.
What happened? Won't you
talk to me today as well?
Didn't you like the
arrangements I made?
Arrangements?
Why did you spend so much money?
You have undergone
an abortion four times.
Every time, it was a girl.
I don't like you at all.
When mom goes out,
everyone asks her
if her daughter-in-law
can't give her a grandson.
What can I
do in this matter?
This isn't in my hands.
Even science says
that the gender of the child
depends on the man.
- Hey!
I know you are not doing
all this for a male child.
You are doing
this for your need.
I just want your love.
- Do you want love?
Let me show it..
Leave me!
What are you doing?
Please don't do this!
Hey!
Sir! We have found the hospital
where Riddhi underwent a surgery
two years ago.
This is the file of the same.
Sir, I inquired at the hospital.
The payment
for Riddhi's treatment was done
using a credit card.
That credit card was issued
to a man named Rahul Dev.
Rahul Dev?
Riddhi said that her
surname was Deshmukh.
Then why would
Rahul Dev pay for her surgery?
Sir, we found his address
and photograph from the bank.
I don't want to act
in a film with that girl.
Make her leave the film.
Mr. Rahul, please
try to understand.
We can't do anything
at this stage.
We have shot
more than half of the film.
If you want to work
with me, you have to fire her.
Get her out of here.
- Mr. Rahul..
She is new.
I have explained it to her.
If we fire her forcibly
she will file a case of sexual
harassment against you. Then?
Think about your image.
The house is locked.
Ask the neighbours
about Rahul Dev.
Do you know him?
No.. Cancel your shoot
if you want to.
But as you had taken my date,
you have to pay my fee.
If you don't do that,
I will..
Wait, I will call you later.
Can't you see?
- Sorry, Dad.
Dad? I have told you many times
not to address me as your dad.
Sorry, dude.
Dude? Yes, dude..
Address me as dude.
It suits me.
Tell me, dear.
How is he related to you?
Dude.
- Dude?
How is this girl
related to Rahul?
This is Riddhi.
She is Rahul's daughter.
We found her. She told us
that her surname was Deshmukh.
Is Rahul's full name
Rahul Dev Deshmukh?
No, sir.
Rahul is from Punjab.
Rahul's daughter
and his wife, Meera
have not been living
here for months.
Rahul and Meera
were at loggerheads.
That is why
they separated.
And this girl.. Who is she?
I don't know her, sir.
Riddhi's mother, Meera.
Where does she live?
I don't know, sir.
Since Riddhi
and Meera left this place
I haven't seen them here.
Even Rahul
wasn't concerned about them.
Sorry, Rahul.
Riddhi was adamant
about going
to the party with us.
So, I thought..
- Have you lost your mind?
Are you out of your senses?
Will you take her along
to a Page 3 party?
Rahul, she was
too adamant, so..
If she is adamant, stay here
and make her understand.
Why did you waste my time?
I am leaving.
Rahul is very arrogant.
He is a 'B' grade actor
but thinks of himself
to be a star.
He is ashamed to be called
the father of a daughter.
Where could Rahul be now?
He must have
gone to a shoot.
Excuse me! Out, guys..
Listen, guys.
Let bygones be bygones.
Let's forget it.
Now, I want you both
to focus on this scene.
Rahul will come
from here and assault you.
I want to see full struggle
and pain in your eyes.
Right?
We will take the shot now.
Going for the take, guys!
Don't be afraid. I lost
my control in the first scene.
Let's do it now..
- Don't worry, Rahul.
Now, I am
not afraid of you.
I know that you
can kill someone
but not assault.
Action. Cut..
What are you doing?
Is he assaulting you
or are you assaulting him?
Stay in your character.
I am sorry, sir.
I forgot my character.
But Rahul didn't.
Will you let me
take a proper shot
or shall I stop
shooting the picture?
We will take
the next shot.
The next shot will be
taken in the police station
with Rahul.
Hey, stop.
Where are you going?
It's nothing.. - You can't
go inside without permission.
Come on, leave.
- All right.
Sir, you are wasting my time.
I am not concerned
about Meera
or her daughter.
Do you know
what we perceive from it?
You tried to kill Riddhi.
That's why you didn't file
her missing complaint.
- Sir, if I knew anything
I would have filed
the missing complaint.
Moreover, she used to live
with Meera and not with me.
Where did she live?
And where is Meera?
I don't know, sir.
- She is your wife
yet you don't know
where she lives.
Sir, she isn't my wife.
- If she isn't your wife
where did your daughter
come from?
Sir, you are mistaken.
She is Meera's daughter
from her first husband
and not mine, sir.
Who is Meera's first husband?
- It was someone named Deshmukh.
Meera never
told me about him.
We were live-in partners.
When Meera had enough of me,
she left with her daughter.
In which school
did Riddhi study?
If she isn't
your daughter, in school..
Sir, she hadn't started
to go to school.
Because of her surgery,
Meera didn't get her enrolled.
I don't know
anything other than that.
But we have to find out
many things from you.
The place
where we found Riddhi..
We found
this girl's dead body.
Who is she?
- I don't know, sir.
I don't know her.
If you hide anything from us,
it won't be good for you.
Sir, why would I hide
anything from you?
Moreover, this
is Meera's problem.
Why are you
involving me in it?
What problem?
- Ask Meera when you find her.
Meera is the reason
behind Riddhi's condition
and no one else.
She couldn't be mine
even while living with me.
She can't be trusted.
I wonder who she used to meet.
Meera, who was he?
Someone I know.
- Why did you give him money?
I have loaned it to him.
Who is he that you
loaned him so much money?
Do you tell me
everything about yourself?
When you don't,
why should I?
You have not
given me the right
to answer every question
of yours.
I have given you and your
daughter a place at my house.
What more do you need?
Sir, I wanted to marry her.
But after seeing her behaviour,
I changed my decision.
And who is that man
you spoke about?
I don't know, sir.
You don't know
where Meera is.
Do you at least have
her phone number?
Yes, sir.
Here you go.
'The number you have called
is currently switched off.'
Sir, the number
is switched off.
Do you really don't know
Meera's whereabouts?
Or are you behind
her disappearance?
Sir, why would I do that?
If you want to know about her
ask Malhotra.
- Who is he?
Dinesh Malhotra.
He is a fashion designer.
Meera used
to work with him.
Do you have Meera's photo?
- Yes, sir.
Sir, Rahul's neighbour had
told us that Meera is his wife
and Riddhi his daughter.
But he is saying
that Meera was married
to a man named Deshmukh.
I don't think that Rahul
is telling the truth.
I don't believe
that Riddhi isn't his daughter.
Riddhi had said Rahul
is the man who is her father.
But Riddhi had said
that her surname is Deshmukh.
Even Rahul said
that Meera's first husband
had 'Deshmukh'
as his surname.
We not only
have to look for Deshmukh
but also Riddhi's mother, Meera
and the girl
whose dead body we found.
Let's meet Dinesh Malhotra
with whom Meera works.
Excuse me.
- Yes?
Dinesh Malhotra.
- He is upstairs.
Actually, we wanted
to talk to you about Meera.
Meera works here, right?
No. I mean, yes.
I mean to say
that Meera used
to work with me.
She doesn't anymore.
She left the job
three months ago.
but what is the matter, sir?
We found
Meera's daughter, Riddhi.
Where is Meera nowadays?
Sir, there is an actor
named Rahul.
Rahul Dev.
Meera is his wife and she..
- But Rahul told us
that Meera isn't his wife
and Riddhi isn't his daughter.
Rahul even told us that someone
named Deshmukh is her husband.
Deshmukh? No, sir.
What are you saying?
Everyone who knows Rahul
is aware that Meera is his wife.
So, Riddhi
is Rahul's daughter.
Indeed.
Meera had told me the same.
So, who is this girl?
Sir.. This is Renuka.
Meera's assistant.
We found her dead body
where we found
Meera's daughter.
You said that Renuka
was Meera's assistant.
It means
Renuka used to work here.
Yes, but..
Sir, Renuka had left the job
long before Meera did.
For how long have you
known Meera and Renuka?
Sir, actually..
Renuka came here a year ago
as an intern.
And I met Meera through Tapsee.
Who is she?
- Tapsee Mehta.
She is a Page 3 reporter.
Mr. Malhotra! Hi.
I have a friend
named Meera.
She wants to become
a fashion designer like you.
She is talented
but I was thinking
that if she assists you
she will become
even more talented.
So, if you give her a chance
it will be really great.
Sir, Meera was talented.
I was impressed with her work.
Later, she wanted
to be gradually established
in the fashion industry
and that's why she left the job.
Why did
Renuka leave the job?
Sir, she must have found
a good offer elsewhere.
With Renuka, we found
Meera's daughter, Riddhi.
How was the relationship
between Meera and Renuka?
Sir, Renuka used
to work under Meera.
But they never
saw eye to eye.
Ma'am, look at this.
Is it good?
Renuka, I had clearly told you
that I didn't want
these sequins. - But, ma'am..
Why do you place your
useless inputs into my designs?
Where did Renuka live?
Sir, she is from Punjab
but she used to live alone
on rent in Mumbai.
She had a flat in Kandivali.
I have its address.
Give us Renuka's address
and phone number.
And Tapsee's as well.
- Yes, sure.
Sir, Tapsee Mehta's phone
is switched off.
Meera and her friend,
Tapsee's phones
are switched off.
Find Tapsee's details
from the paper she works for.
Meera, Renuka and Tapsee..
Check their call records.
Check Meera's call records
to find
if there is someone
named Deshmukh.
It is important
for us to find
if Riddhi is Rahul's daughter
or a man named Deshmukh
is a part of Meera's life.
Someone tried to strangle
Riddhi to death.
And Renuka was murdered.
Let's check
Renuka's flat in Kandivali.
We might find something.
- Sure, sir.
Kuldeep
ask around.
- Sir.
Check thoroughly.
- Sir.
Sir, Renuka's neighbour told
Meera used to come here often.
And we've got her
address of Kapurthala in Punjab
from Renuka's landlord.
Ask the Punjab police
to inform her family
so that we can
hand over Meera's body to them.
Sure, sir.
This man
seems to be
quite close to Meera.
Sir, is he that
Deshmukh we're looking for?
Sir, we talked to the paper
where Tapsee works.
They told Tapsee had left
for France on 7th February.
That's why her phone is off.
On 7th February?
And Renuka was
killed on 9th February.
This means
Tapsee went to France
two days before Renuka's murder.
And, sir,
the people at her office told
She'll be back in Mumbai
after four days.
Sir, the number
Rahul had given to Meera
is registered
in Nirmukta Pandey's name.
Nirmukta Pandey?
- Yes, sir.
We've got this photo
from the mobile
network service provider.
The photo is of Meera
but the name is Nirmukta Pandey.
So, is her real name
Meera or Nirmukta Pandey?
Meera aka
Nirmukta Pandey is looking
quite different in the photo.
By the way, under which address
is this number registered?
Sir, it's registered
under the Malad address.
Sir, I've checked Meera's six
months old call records as well
but I didn't find anyone with
the surname Deshmukh over there.
And there are many
numbers in Meera's call record
which are taken with a fake ID.
Kuldeep,
go to that address at Malad
under which this number of Meera
aka Nirmukta is registered.
Meanwhile, I'll try
to talk to Riddhi once again.
Sure, sir.
Riddhi, she's your mother.
Isn't she?
M-Mother.
Well, dear.
Is her name Meera
or Nirmukta?
Meera.
Well, dear
we've found a photo
of a man with your mother.
Take a look.
Do you know who is this man
with your mother?
Mr. Rakesh.
Mr. Rakesh?
Mom and I used
to enjoy a lot with him.
Well, dear
we've come to know her name.
Her name is Renuka.
You know what?
She was a friend of your mother.
Well, dear,
when you were with her that day
was your mother also there?
Yes, Kuldeep? - Sir,
the Malad address under which
Nirmukta aka Meera's number
is registered
she used to live there
on rent alone for four years.
Alone?
Yes, sir. Even Riddhi used
stay there with her at the time.
But no one in the
neighbourhood knows anyone
with the Deshmukh surname.
Kuldeep, check the call records
of this Meera aka Nirmukta.
And see if there's someone named
Rakesh in her call records.
The man
with Nirmukta in the photo
we found at Renuka's place
Riddhi is telling
his name to be Rakesh.
Okay, sir.
Now we shall have
our dinner quickly and sleep.
We need to wake up early
in the morning don't we?
Grandpa,
when will mom come to Lucknow?
Dear..
- I miss her a lot.
Yes, she will..
- She'll never come.
Just forget
you ever had a mother.
Stop this.
I've told you many times
not to talk to her like this.
Why not?
If I could have it my way,
I'll choke her to death.
And her mother as well.
Enough.
She isn't bad, you are.
This family is ruined
because of you.
She tried a lot
to look after this family
but it was the spark set
by you that burnt it down.
Sir, Renuka only has a windowed
mother who lives in Kapurthala.
Punjab police has handed
over Renuka's body to her.
Did Renuka's mother
express her suspicion on anyone?
No, sir.
Nor does she know
any Nirmukta aka Meera
or Tapsee.
There is no angle
in Renuka's background
that could be
the motive behind her death.
Sir
we've found the number
of a guy named Rakesh Dholakia
in Meera's call records.
This is the same
Rakesh who was in the photo
with Nirmukta aka Meera.
He's a business man in Pune.
I've called him Mumbai.
Sir, Nirmukta is her real name.
After joining the
fashion industry
she shortened her name to Meera
but there was no wrong
intention behind doing that.
You seem to know a lot about
Meera.. I mean about Nirmukta.
Since when do you
two know each other?
Sir, we'd met around eight
months ago in a celebrity party.
We're friends since then.
Meera, her daughter Riddhi,
and I used to spend
a lot of time together.
What kind of a friendship
did you have?
Sir, our views used to match.
She used to share several
things about her life with me.
When Rahul came to my life
I felt as if
I'd never have to look back.
Why even consider
looking back, Meera?
You've always looked ahead.
Do the same even now.
Why don't you divorce her
if you aren't happy with Rahul?
Divorce?
But Rahul told us he and Meera
never got married.
Sir, how could this be?
They had a daughter
hence they must've got married.
Rahul also told us
her husband was someone
with the Deshmukh surname.
Even Riddhi told her full name
to be Riddhi Deshmukh.
Yes, sir, but I don't
know anything about that.
Well, do you know this girl?
Yes, sir. She's Renuka.
Meera's friend.
Sir, after hearing
about her murder and Riddhi
I'm concerned
if Meera is in some danger.
Then why didn't you contact us?
Sir, I stay at Pune.
I'd called Meera, but
couldn't connect to her.
Then I texted Tapsee and she
told me she's out of India.
You know Tapsee too?
Yes, sir.
After separating from Rahul
Meera and Riddhi used
to stay with Tapsee.
Who do you think
can be behind Renuka's murder
and Meera's disappearance?
I don't know about that
but few months ago
somebody tried
to shoot and kill Meera
at Borivali.
Somebody fired at Meera.
Did she file a police complaint?
Yes, sir, I'd told her
but she was scared.
There's someone who wants
to harm Meera and her daughter.
I'd once seen a man
fighting with Meera, sir.
Meera, never told me anything
about that man.
Riddhi is here.
Riddhi!
- Uncle.
Dear, do not cry.
Where is my mom?
I must go to her.
By then we had
known Renuka.
But Riddhi, her mother
and Riddhi's father
were not easy for us
to identify.
The Renuka that died..
Hearing of her, we could
get a motive for her murder
and we could not find
the man
that tried to kill Meera
by firing at her.
Riddhi's last name
is Deshmukh
and her mother having
two names
that Meera and Nirmukta
was still a puzzle for us.
And Riddhi was willing
to stay with Rakesh Dholakia.
and Rakesh was allowed
to take Riddhi.
And soon we would get
a shock about Riddhi's mom
that was presumed missing.
Why is it so cold?
Meera!
Sir, in Meera's two year old
call records
we have found a man
named Kaushal Deshmukh.
This number is switched off
for quite a while.
This number is registered
to Thane address.
This is his picture.
Let us show
Kaushal's picture to Riddhi.
And he might be the one
that we are looking for.
That will be great.
Sir, Tapsi is back
from France
and as she reached
she found Meera's body.
What?
Can it be that you left
for France
since you were involved
in Meera's murder?
No sir! You cannot put
such allegation on me!
Meera lived with you
and her body is found here!
And Renuka has been killed
along with Meera.
And someone tried
to kill Meera's daughter Riddhi
and you say..
- I have nothing to do with it.
Sir, Riddhi and Meera
were fine
when I left for France.
Meera's true name
was Nirmukta Pandey.
Were you aware of that?
Yes. Meera changed
her name.
She found Meera dead
body when she reached her flat.
Her true name
was Nirmukta Pandey.
Was this last name
of her parents or husband?
It was not
of her parents.
It was the last name of her
first husband Manoj Pandey.
After his death
she came to Mumbai.
Whose daughter
is Riddhi?
She is daughter
of Kaushal Deshmukh
and he is Meera's second
husband.
Kaushal is Meera's
second husband. - Yes.
Riddhi is Kaushal's daughter
but two years ago Kaushal
left them both and ran to Dubai.
I will call you later.
'Sir, my maid just told me
that Riddhi is kidnapped.'
What?
Sir, I was working
in kitchen
and Riddhi was here playing.
He came in all of a sudden
and he took Riddhi.
I followed him
and he put her in a blue van.
Who was he?
Have you see him before?
No, sir!
I have not seen him before.
Was it this man?
Him?
Yes, sir.
It was him.
Check all the cctv here.
the blue van
must be captured.
Sir.
Sir, the van was captured
in a cctv outside Rakesh's home
but the number
is not visible.
Check the cameras
on every route from there.
Trace that blue van.
I will have a look out notice
for Kaushal.
Sir, Kaushal lived here
about two years ago
and then he sold his flat
and he went to Dubai.
Kaushal lived here
with his wife and daughter?
Yes, sir. After his first wife
had died
he married Meera.
Meera was his second wife?
Yes, sir.
And Riddhi, is his daughter
from Meera?
No, sir.
Riddhi is his daughter
from his first wife.
Meera is not her mother
and Kaushal left them both
and he ran to Dubai.
When Kaushal ran away
Meera later found out
that Kaushal sold the flat.
So Meera and Riddhi
were homeless.
We do not know what happened
to them after that.
finally, we came to know
that Kaushal Deshmukh
was the one we were seeking.
One that Tapsi told us
to be Meera's second husband.
Manoj Pandey, Meera's
first husband was a secret
added to this case.
And her third partner
Rahul Dev
was not her final partner.
We could not yet find out
who the person was with Meera
that Rahul and Rakesh
had seen.
And who was the one
that fired at Meera?
And there was yet a person
who would complicate
the case even further.
sir, it is clear that
Tapsi went to France
on the seventh of February.
Sir, the cctv footage
of Tapsi's building
on the ninth of the month
we see Meera going in.
Look at this, sir.
Sir, when Meera
entered this building
Ridhi was not with her.
And Meera didn't
come out of this building
after the 09th of February.
Renuka was murdered
on the 09th
and there was an attempt
to murder on Ridhi.
So, when this incident
took place in Aarey Road
on the 09th
with Renuka and Ridhi
Meera was also
murdered simultaneously.
Sir, in the footage
on the 09th
a man was also captured
entering the building.
Look at this, sir.
He returned 15 minutes
after entering the building.
I tried to find out
this man from the guard.
But I couldn't get
any information.
The people of the building
haven't identified him either.
I'm sure
that he has murdered Meera.
Do you know who is he?
No, sir.
But I have a doubt
that he could be sent
by Rahul
because Rahul's ego was hurt
when Meera left him.
Sir, Rahul moved into a live in
relationship with Meera
just because he wanted
people to know
that he is a normal man
and not gay.
Was Meera already aware
that Rahul was gay
before getting into
a relationship with him?
No, sir.
She didn't know about it
in the beginning.
But when she got to know
about it
Meera still stood by him.
But Rahul..
Rahul is a cheap man.
Meera.
I had warned you.
But you trusted Rahul alone.
There were many men
in Meera's life.
Do you know
about all of them
I never met her first husband,
Manoj Pandey
because I met her
for the first time
when she came to Mumbai
for her career after his death.
Sir, these are my new
bridal wear designs.
Sir.
- No.
Just two minutes, sir.
I can impress you.
Sir, I am a designer.
These are..
- I don't have time now.
Your designs are good.
But nothing will happen
by struggling like this.
How can I succeed, ma'am?
Stop calling me ma'am.
Tapsi.
How can I succeed, Tapsi?
Work under an established
fashion designer.
You will learn the work
and you can make
new contacts too.
I suggested her
to change her name.
I changed her name to Meera
from Nirmukta.
And I got her a job
under a famous fashion designer.
Who?
Dinesh Malhotra?
No, sir.
She had joined
Dinesh Malhotra
after leaving Kaushal.
But Rahul and Kaushal
turned out to be useless.
And her husband
was even worse.
Her first husband,
Manoj Pandey.
She would get beaten up
by him everyday
and she would shiver
thinking about him.
Manoj is no more.
If the dead person was good
it's good to remember him
and cry for him too.
But you should
forget him forever
if he is like this.
Do one thing.
Forget him forever.
Have this.
You start today.
Have a drink.
She forgot Manoj Pandey then.
Kaushal entered her life
when she started working here.
Will you tell me
what is the matter?
Leave me.
Come with me.
We wanted to give you
this good news together.
Kaushal and I
are getting married.
Meera settled with Kaushal.
And she accepted
his daughter too.
Kaushal..
Kaushal ditched her
and his daughter after two years
and ran away to Dubai.
But she never considered Ridhi
an outsider.
Rahul entered
her life then.
She was betrayed
at every step in life.
And she lost her life
this time.
Tapsi Mehta had read
just the second chapter
of Nirmukta's life.
But the first chapter
was even more shocking.
The man seen with Nirmukta
by Rakesh and Rahul
had a connection
with her first chapter.
Nirmukta's murderer
was the guy wearing
the hooded t-shirt.
But why and with which
motive he reached there
was hidden
in both the chapters.
He could be somebody
who was seen.
He could be somebody
who was still missing.
There were many layers
left in this case.
This case's journey
from Lucknow
would reveal the mystery
behind the death
of her first husband,
Manoj Pandey.
Come, sir.
Yes?
She killed my son, sir.
She got Manoj killed.
Brother.
- Where is he?
Where is he?
Brother.
How dare you touch
my sister? - Brother.
I am your brother-in-law.
Is this the way
to talk to me?
I'll teach you a lesson.
I'll punch you.
Stay away from me.
She had done everything, sir.
She asked her brother
to kill my son.
If possible..
- You would get Nirmukta killed.
What are you saying, sir?
Your son died because of her.
You must have been angry.
You found Nirmukta
in Mumbai somehow.
You paid blood money
to somebody and got her killed.
No, sir.
What are you saying?
We are taking care of her
even after suffering so much.
And she went to Mumbai
and forgot about her.
We haven't done anything
that you are thinking.
I agree
that our son is no more.
But don't take
my wife's words too seriously.
He was a black spot
on my identity.
He used to hit
Nirmukta a lot.
But she still wanted
to be with him.
She didn't want him to die.
What did you do, Brother?
Keep quiet.
You need not cry
for this man.
He used to hit you a lot,
isn't it?
I have killed him.
Father-in-law,
call the police.
Brother has killed Manoj.
Sir, if she was
a bad woman
she would never testify
against her brother.
She sent her brother to jail
for justice.
Sir, we checked
many CCTV footages
to find the van in which
Kaushal took Ridhi.
The van has gone towards
Ghodbunder.
The footage is in this.
Sir, look at this.
This is the van.
But the van's number is fake.
Inquire at every check post
in Ghodhbunder
whether anybody
has spotted this van.
Sir.
Sir, Nirmukta's brother,
Dheeraj
had come out on parole
sometime back.
He is missing since then.
Do you have
Dheeraj's photo?
Sir.
Send this photo to Mumbai
and find out if he was seen
at the place Meera,
a.k.a. Nirmukta, frequented.
Sir. - Who else is
in Meera and Dheeraj's family?
Sir, Nirmukta has
a widowed mother.
She lives nearby.
She was not my daughter.
Nirmukta was a murderer.
But your son Dheeraj killed
Nirmukta's husband Manoj Pandey.
Yes, he did. But he did
it for her own good.
Had he not killed him
Nirmukta's husband
would've killed her.
And she.. She had her
brother sent to jail.
Could it be that Dheeraj killed
Nirmukta for revenge?
Where is Dheeraj?
- I don't know.
Yes, Kuldeep?
- I've got a lead on Kaushal.
I know where he is. I'll bring
him to the station right away.
Arrest him.
Let's go. - Sir..
- Get in the car.
Let me go.
Sir..
Sir, don't hit me!
I'll speak, sir.
I didn't kill anyone, sir.
I just wanted to take
my daughter with me, sir.
- Why didn't you come to us
if you didn't kill anyone?
Where were you for 2 years?
You left your daughter,
did that not worry you?
Sir, I cared for both my
daughter and Nirmukta.
But her brother
would've killed me.
Her brother?
- Yes, sir.
He would come to my house, sir,
and take money from my wife.
What are you doing, Brother?
- Hey, shut up!
I went to jail because of you.
You're earning so much.
I also need some, right?
- Brother..
Hey! Move!
Move!
Hey.. What is going on here?
What's happening?
We're celebrating
'Rakshabandhan', Brother-in-law.
She is my sister.
I've taken the responsibility
of protecting her.
And if you say anything,
I'll kill you.
K-Kill me? What do you mean?
- Speaking from experience.
I've killed someone already.
Then I found out that he had
killed Meera's first husband.
I got very scared, sir.
I wanted to marry Meera
and settle down in Dubai.
I even got a job there.
But she didn't want
to come there.
Kaushal, I want you to go
to Dubai and do this job.
You also want that.
But..
I can't compromise
my own career.
I wanted to marry Nirmukta.
So that she could take care
of my daughter.
Ridhi had started thinking
of Meera as her mother, sir.
That's why I left both of them
and went to Dubai, sir.
You left,
after selling your house.
And you left both
of them homeless.
But I didn't kill anyone, sir.
You won't talk that easily.
Sir!
Don't, sir!
Sir.
This is the same Dheeraj
Rakesh also told us about.
And Rahul also told us
about the same Dheeraj
who used to go to Meera's house
to meet her.
It's possible that Rahul used
Dheeraj to have Meera killed.
Bring Rahul to the station.
- Sir.
Look, sir,
you can't do this to me.
I've committed no crime.
I admit, sir
that he used to come
to my house.
I didn't know that he was
Meera's brother
because Meera never told me
anything about him.
Why did he come to meet you?
Actually, sir, Meera left me.
He used to come to ask me
where she went.
In this case,
everyone we suspected
had a motive to kill Nirmukta.
But Renuka was also murdered.
And the question was,
why did Renuka's murderer
leave Ridhi alive?
If it was the same criminal
then why did he stab Renuka
and try to strangle Ridhi
at the same crime scene?
And who was the person
who fired the shot and attempted
to kill Meera earlier?
Sir, from the dump data
of Tapsik's building's area
I've identified contact numbers
of people matching the profile
of the guy who went
to Tapsik's building
wearing a hooded t-shirt.
Check their background.
See if you find
anything suspicious.
- Sir.
Sir. I've found out
that Nirmukta, a.k.a. Meera
got a company, Meera Fashions,
registered a while ago.
And a current account number has
also surfaced, sir
to which a business loan amount
of Rs. 25 lakh was transferred.
Sir, I've also found out that
Renuka had a 25 per cent share
in Meera's company.
- But how is all this
connected to their murder?
- Actually, sir, I talked
to a few of Malhotra's
employees.
At first, they were scared
of speaking out
but then they told me that Meera
wanted them to join her
in her work. But Malhotra
had a problem with that.
Did you find anything
against this Malhotra?
No, sir, not yet.
But, sir, I've found out
that Malhotra has
a licensed gun.
And Rakesh told us that someone
fired at Meera a while back.
Let's talk to this
Malhotra again.
What is the matter, sir?
Why are you asking for my gun?
Show it to us.
Quickly.
But, sir..
- Show it to us!
Okay, one minute, sir.
According to the license,
you were issued four bullets.
And there are only three here.
One is missing.
Where did you use it?
Sir..
No! Sir! No! Please!
- Sarwan.
S-Sir, I'll tell.
I'll tell everything, sir!
Sir, I admit
that I made a mistake.
I tried to kill Meera.
But believe me, sir
I haven't done anything.
- Who knows?
Maybe you couldn't stand
Meera challenging you
in your business.
Actually, sir, I paid
a local goon, Deenu
to kill Meera with my gun.
How is it?
Come. Let's go.
But he missed the shot, sir.
Trust me, sir.
I haven't done anything now.
Tell me..
- Stop.
Sir, I tried last time.
But I didn't do anything
this time.
Sure?
- Yes, sir.
Tell me.
- Sir, I swear. I am not lying.
Sir.
Sir, we tortured both
Dinesh Malhotra and Deenu.
But they're still saying
that they tried to kill Meera
only once, but they failed.
and they didn't do anything
this time.
Any information about Dheeraj?
- No, sir.
There's no information
about him so far.
Sir.
I found that the guarantor
of Meera's loan of Rs. 25 lakh
was Rakesh Dholakia.
But he didn't tell us
that Meera was about to start
her own business.
Why didn't he tell us that?
Sir, there's one more
information.
Rakesh issued a cheque
of Rs. 10 lakh a few days ago
in the name of his accountant,
Vinay.
Sir, we found that Vinay's house
was mortgaged
which he got back
by paying Rs. 10 lakh.
Here's his photo, sir.
I never thought
that I and my relationship
would end up like this.
After leaving Rahul, she started
considering me as a sympathiser.
Even I wanted her to make
progress, as I loved her.
I didn't just got her the loan
in fact, I put a lot of money
in her boutique as well.
But she didn't do
the right thing with me.
Your business
is kind of set now.
Before the inauguration
of your boutique
I was thinking
if we both could get engaged.
Engaged?
- Let's get engaged.
Rakesh.
I-I am so sorry.
I don't think that I am made
for marriage and all.
That woman was a sweet poison.
Neither she used to go,
nor she used to stay.
If she would stay in my life,
then my life would be destroyed.
Then I decided to kill her.
Then one day, she was attacked.
I was present there.
But she escaped.
Then I involved my accountant,
Vinay with me.
Vinay took a fake ID
and started calling Meera.
No, it's a wrong number.
So that when you find
Meera's corpse
then you become busy in solving
the secret behind those calls.
Then Vinay went there that day.
Vinay, you're here?
- Mr. Rakesh sent me.
There's some work.
- Okay.
What's this..
Then why did you kill Renuka?
I didn't want to kill her.
But she became a victim.
Renuka saw me, sir.
- Then what are you waiting for?
Kill her as well.
Hi.
- Hi.
You're here, Renuka?
- I met Ms. Meera in the market.
She had to go for a meeting,
so she asked me
to drop Ridhi here.
- But the door is locked.
But she called me just now.
- I talked to her on call.
She called me at the road
behind the street.
Come on, I'll drop you.
I am going there.
W-What are you doing!
Hey!
Stop!
I thought that Ridhi was dead.
When I saw her alive,
then I was shocked.
It was no less than a miracle
that Ridhi escaped from death.
Manoj, Rakesh,
Rahul and Kaushal.
Apart from these four partners
of Nirmukta
even Nirmukta's brother, Dheeraj
was responsible
for Nirmukta's condition.
I, Senior Inspector
Abhimanyu Jindal
am saying goodbye.
I'll see you again
with another case.
Be healthy, be alert
and keep watching
'Crime Patrol Dastak'.
The motive is not just to tell,
but to save.
