Swara felt something strange. She searched them franatically. Suddenly she felt something strong being hit on her head. It was a piece of paper. She opened it.
I HAVE PROVES WHICH CAN BE USEFUL TO YOU. FOLLOW ME.

Swara looked in the direction. She saw both the girls staring at her. She started to follow them. They lead her to a small house. Swara stood outside the house. Younger girl came out.
Girl: my name is sarika. I am younger sister of savita..the one who is playing as rape victim. Come inside please.
Swara entered inside. Savita was standing folding her hands in front of her.
Swara: kehte hain izzat har ladki k liye uski jaan se badhkar hoti h. Par tumne...
A tear rolled from her eye.
Savita: my sister's life is more than my life to me. My sister... sarika.. she has cancer. For her treatment 20 lakh rupees are required. She was being treated in your hospital only. One day dr kavita came to me and said she ll give me money if i do this.
Swara: and what caused you to change your mind then?
Savita: today when i saw dr sanskar had kept your dignity in front of his whole career sarika said she would prefer to be dead than to be blamed for downfall of such a great person.
Swara turned towards sarika. She looked down.
Swara: dont worry.. just testify against kavita tomorrow.
Savita: i cant... she will kill me. But i have proves.
Swara: what proof.
Savita: when she came my home to offer me money my sister sarika was playing with my cell phone. With god's grace she recorded everything to be sure she pays me after work is done.
A smile appeared on swara's lips. She looked at sarika.
Swara: your treatment will be done. Dont worry. You will be fine.
She came out. She saw it was raining heavily. She again went inside.
Swara: do you have any zip lock bag. My car is at a distance. Phone will be drenched.
She took a zip lock bag from them and kept the phone inside it. She started to move towards her car. She was all drenched. She came near the car. She saw the time. It was 11:30 night. Place was deserted. She started to drive the car. She felt someone was following her. Suddenly someone came in front of her car. She applied breaks suddenly. Before she could understand two man broke the glass of the window and dragged her out of the car. She tried to free herself from their grip but one of the goons hit her head with a rod. Swara felt blood oozing out of head. Her vision blurred. She collapsed. A man gave money to the goons. It was rajat
Goon: what to do of the girl?
Rajat: she hit my sister in front of all... leave her here. I dont want to kill her. But i want to teach her a lesson.
He turned back smirking. Swara was left alone on the road with blood oozing out of her forehead.

It was morning. Sanskar's last hearing day. Ap was praying to lord.
Ap: god.. please.. do something...
Sanskar was sitting in the police van. Within no time his name will be erased from medical register of india. He was 19 when he got admission in medical college. Then pg course. He was remembering the moment when he got the degree. He laughed a helpless smile.

Swara's eyes opened up. Her vision was blurry. Blood had been dried up on her forehead. She tried to stand up. She was feeling dizzy. Suddenly thought of sanskar came to her. She knew she had to gather strength. Not for anyone but for him. She dragged herself to the car. She tried to start it and luckily it started.

Sanskar was brought to court. He looked at ap and dp. He then looked at laksh.
Sanskar: laksh.. be a good doctor.
Laksh was not able to control himself. He broke down in front of his brother.
Laksh: bhaiya... please...
Sanskar just smiled helplessly. He then looked at his mother whose eyes were red due to crying.
Sanskar: m sorry ma...
He then moved inside court. All the moments of life were running in front of his eyes. How happy he was when he cracked all india pre medical test. He was the topper of his college. He had seen the proud in dp's eyes when he got the gold medal. But now... everything has been lost. Everything has been finished.

Swara looked at her cell phone. It was dead. She was driving carefully. Her head was aching badly.

Sanskar stood in the box. Judge came. Rajat stood up to spoke.
Rajat: my lord... this man who is standing here in front of all is not a man but a beast.
Sanskar held the box tightly. His head started to ache badly.
Rajat: doctors are considered as god but this man.. he was not able to maintain the dignity. He is not eligible to even be called a human lest be a doctor.
Sanskar felt a shooting pain in his head.
Rajat: this man deserves to be punished my lord. I request you to take strict actions against him so that nobody in future could do such things.
Drop of tears started to fall from sanskar's eyes. He did not know which was causing more pain.. his headache or rajat's word. He tried to look for swara but she was nowhere to be found.
Judge: taking all the witnesses and proofs in account ...
