MAITHA ROAD-EVENING
it is a very sparsely populated area by the highway . Chandrabhan pulls over . At a small shop by the road Satyendra sits with his back to the road . Sidharth softly steps out and begins walking towards him . Nihal follows him from a distance .just when Sidharth is about to call him out Satyendra turns and sees him . He also sees Nihal . Satyendra gets up with a start and begins to back off in the lane.
Satyendra - tum saale arrest karne aaye ho?
Sidharth - baat karne aaya hun Satyendra..
Satyendra beings backing off.
Satyendra jhooth mat bolo, arrest karne aaye ho.
Sidharth gestures Nihal to follow back . Nihal complies . Sidharth catches Satyendra before he runs away.
Sidharth - sirf baat Karni Hai tujhse.
Satyendra sits down.
Sidharth - 14 tarreekh ki raat ko Anshu ke Ghar kyon gaya tha tu?
Satyendra- isi pradesh mein IPS ko Peet ke maar diya gaya tha . Jaante ho na?
Sidharth- Anshu ki Gali ke bahar Jo bank hai, uska cctv footage dekha hai Maine. Tu 14 ki raat gaya tha wahan . Police ki ek jeep gayi thi. Kya ho raha tha wahan?
Satyendra- tum saale superman banna chaahte ho?
Sidharth- tum subah 4 baje uth ke kahan gaye thay? Bachchu ne kyon call Kiya Tha tumhein ? Kyon bhaage hue ho? Mujhe suspend Kiya ja Raha Hai Satyendra par uske pehle Jo kar sakunga karunga . Tumhein arrest karna pada toh wo bhi . Goli maarni padi toh .
Satyendra keeps looking at him and begins to cry.
Satyendra- subah 4 baje call aaya tha mujhe . Anshu ki gaadi kharab ho gayi hi bola ki turant aa jaa jumper lekee, aur Main pahuncha to unhone dono ladkiyan ped pe just latkaayi thi . Mujhe bola bhaag ja kuchh din.
This is unsettling for Sidharth but he tries to stay normal.
Sidharth - 14 tarreekh ko kya hua tha ? Kaun Kaun tha wahan?
Satyendra shakes head.
Satyendra - Anshu ke Ghar pe party thi . Main bhi tha . Brahmadatt bhi aaya tha . Nihal bhi . Wahin theen ladkiyan. Sab ek ek kar ke school mein ja Rahe the . Main nikal gaya wahan se. Anshu ne Kiya the rape . Brahmadatt ne Kiya Tha rape. Nihal Singh ne bhi Kiya Tha rape
Sidharth is in shock he turns to look at Nihal Singh who is intently looking at them
Sidharth- teesri ladki kahan hai?
Satyendra- mujhe nahin Pata, uss raat shayad teenon bhaag nikli theen . Lekin main gawai nahin dunga Sidharth. Kisi aur ke samne pucha toh mukar jaunga .
Sidharth- kyon nahin dega gawahi.. deni padegi.
Satyendra - tu toh chala jayega suspend ho ke . Mujhe jail mein maar daalenge . Aise hi chalega . Ja raha hun. Chaahe to maar dena goli peechhe se. Khatam hoga saala.
Satyendra is vulnerable . He looks at Nihal one last time and leaves.
Sidharth walks back to car, to Nihal Singh. Chandra bhan gets in the car when Sidharth comes close but Sidharth doesn't get in. He approaches Nihal Singh Nihal knows there is something wrong.
Sidharth - Pooja kahan hai Nihal Singh?
Nihal 's eyes well up.
Nihal Singh- mujhe nahi Pata sir.
Chandra senses this is something big . Nihal starts crying .
Sidharth- toone bhi Kiya Tha?
Nihal- wo zyada Pila diye the sir uss din . Brahmadatt ji ke saath thay
This is another revelation.
Nihal- par galti toh hui hai sir . Paap hua hai sir.
Sidharth-Brahmadatt ne bhi kiye rape?
Nihal- Haan sir.
He cries more.
Sidharth- Pooja kahan hai?
Nihal-mujhe nahi Pata Hai sir . Uss din 3 ladkiyan thi .uske baad mujh ko kuch nahi Pata sir.
Sidharth- Pooja kahan hai, Nihal Singh?
Nihal- Sach mein nahi Pata Hai sir.
He folds hands and turns to Chandrabhan too.
Nihal - humko maaf kar do.. maaf kar do humko.
He cries desperately . His voice is trembling.
Nihal- Amali ko maat batna sir. Mar jayegi wo.. mar jayegi wo..
In this fit of crying , he Suddenly jumps onto the road , in front of a truck which runs over him. Nihal dies.
Same- night
Sidharth sits in his car with the door open , dazed . He was on the phone that he calmly puts down . Police vehicles have arrived at venue . Chandrabhan stands by the door with a plate of roadside snack and a glass of tea that Sidharth has refused already.
Nihal 's body is being picked up and placed into an ambulance . Chandra bhan looks the most affected as he sees this process from some distance .
Chandrabhan- Khabar aati hai ki rape baad gaye hain,, bulandshahar mein hua . Hamse kaheen duur hua hai . Lekin duur kuch hota naheen hai . Nihal toh humse dedh feet duur baithta tha 12 saal.
Jatav has just arrived . He rushes in to Sidharth .
Sidharth- Brahmadatt ko arrest karna hai Jatav ji . Lucknow se officers aa gaye hain, Ghar baithe hain suspension order leke. Wo receive Kar liya toh uske baad kuchh nahi ho payega uss se pehle..
Jatav- sir hum Mayank se bolte hain ki arrest order lake Ghar ke bahar milega . Aap sign kar dijiyega. Baaki hum kar lenge
Sidharth nods.
TANNERY EXTERIOR/ JUNGLE SWAMP- NIGHT
THE cops are spread out now, dep in the jungle . One cop calling out Pooja 's name from time to time . Some in the swamp with sticks in the mud dabbling through the knee deep SWAMP.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
