Mic22, receiving... Operation in progress over

Come...

All these dogs should see the fear of death in eyes

Remove the tied bands

Hey old fellows

How dare to say that policemen should not enter your village?

If any of us comes, will you burn them alive in wood coal burner?

Do you have that much guts?

Do you think policemen are waste?

Shall I show the power of policemen?

'Kalathur Village'

Sir, here goes some...

Sir, there...there it goes...

Look there, sir! Some comes from inside...

Hey! What’s this?

Can’t you keep the mortuary clean?

What can we do sir?

Corpses lie here for many years,

foul smell, worms and insects generate

Sir, given information to all the welfare associations.

They are yet to come.

Sir, you know very well that the formalities are more to bury the unclaimed corpses.

Getting permission from government takes our life out

What to do now?

Hereafter we should ensure not to pile up unclaimed bodies...

Sir, the orphan patient in ward no.3 is serious

Nurse, fix up the oxygen mask get him to ICU

'Venkatagiri Police station'

Hello...

Sir, a dead body lays down near the old church, check it

Who are you?

Always the hospital authorities do the same

They lay the serious patients on road and call us

and we too register cases as orphan corpses and get back to hospital.

What a rustic work is this?

Sir, they do the same...what to do?

Constable...

Sir...

A case 174 has come, near that church... go and check it...

What constable ?

Yes...

Is it 174 orphan corpse case, as usual?

Yes...yes...

You do the burials of the corpses and keep on writing letters to the government.

But no money is refunded.

Let it be...not bothered whether money comes or not .

Good earns are saved.

Constable sir, some people like you strive for good earns but DSP Thalakayan gathers sins.

Look at this...

Who?

Is he the DSP Thalakayan transferred from our area?

Yes sir...

He killed 5 persons in the name of encounter and burnt them and says they are not found.

How will the people in Kalathur village leave it?

With the support of media, they are strongly protesting.

Now government has appointed a enquiry commission...

Will the enquiry commission leave him lightly?

DSP will be screwed up

'Violence in Kalathur Enquiry commission leads by Retd. Judge'

Welcome UTV viewers !!

Now we are in Simmathur Collectorate office...

Two people were shot dead in the protest held last month in Kalathur village .

Many people got admitted in hospital for treatment,

seven persons were not found including a woman.

When I asked about this to policemen

they say, they did not take anyone with them.

No one knows whether they are alive or not...

Now we will ask the opinion of the village people about the incident?

Sir, tell us what happened?

We accepted this, to get justice...

Those who were lost should return to our village, if not we will not quit

We don't know whether our village folks are alive

We pray God that they should come alive.

Judge is coming...

Sir...

- Are you Thalakayan? - Yes, Sir

How many years are you in service?

I joined service in...

Why? Don't you know Tamil?

See, how the magazine has appreciated your work efficiency!

- Where are the 7 missing persons? - I don't know, sir

I heard you took them

No sir...

Ok...you can leave.

- Will call you when in need. - Yes sir...

Tomorrow I want to visit the riot village and meet the people who were affected

Sir, that village people are very cruel...

Already they are in flames Its not good to go there now

Why do you say not now?

Damn sure we are going...

Sir, Kalathur village lies in the border of Tamil Nadu and Andhra.

The population of this village is 592

The government has pinpointed a black dot on this village

Actually, the setting of this village is a dense woodlands jungle

It is surrendered by jungle for almost 25 to 30 Km

Don't throw stones. Please...please...

Don't throw stones.

Please...please...listen to me

Judge has come for your sake

Give him the way. Let him go in.

Sir, these murderers shouldn't enter our village.

They beheld my son and grandson and we are not aware whether they are alive or not...

Give us right judgement

Be silence

Don't worry

I will fasten the enquiry and find them soon.

What do I reply to my son who asks about his father?

If you are really good, give us a right judgement and then go inside the village

If not... Wait...wait...

Now you don't want us to come inside the village...right?

There must be a fear on police

But what is this?

The whole village is fuming in flames

What did you do? How many people were murdered?

No sir...at the time of riots

the villagers only shot at the police with country guns.

To make them afraid, policemen shot at them

below their knees where two people died of mismark

What about the 7 missing people?

They may be hiding in the jungle or on the mountains in Andhra

Are they hiding?

Is the whole village dying hard and crying for that?

Why do you lie?

I want all the details about that village

Get a person who knows the entire history .

What is your name?

My name is Arumugam, sir

In which year you were on duty?

In 1980, I was on duty in a police station which was outside the village for namesake

What was the problem between police and village people?

Sir, it's not the recently developed issue. It prolongs for years together.

Police personnel can't enter that village

If so they can't come back alive

Robbery is the sole occupation of that village people.

Murder, robbery and stealing passersby were the sole acts by them.

Not sure whether they have a government ration card

but each one has few cases against them.

They are fearless. Only others are scared of them

How they got this much courage?

2 people are the main reason

One is Kidathirukay, other one is Veeranah

Who?

He is Kidathirukay

He is Veeranah

Sir, though robbery is the main occupancy for both of them

wood coal burning is also their work

If any function goes on in the village...

they both will get ready for robbery

In 1980's, if anyone wanted to go to Andhra they had to cross the main road of the village

Almost many vehicles gather at a time and cross

the roads of that village in safe manner

If any vehicle passes alone, then that's the end of it.

Sir, leave me

Marriage in minister's house... that's why we didn't stop

We rob for our thirst and hunger

Not like your minister to enjoy a luxury life.

You don't die for the sake of minister who robs others

Your family is behind you

It's marriage...

Marriage ceremony in our village too...

"Raakayi, Mookayi, kasthuri, meenakshi"

"Daughter of golden toothier is getting married to the lord of lands in the auspicious month"

"we have to grind rice grains"

"Have to grind raw rice grains"

"Take the pearls of rice in handful"

"Let it cook and flow as white as snow"

"It's the marriage in our house"

"It's the marriage in our house"

"Have to grind raw rice grains"

"Take the pearls of rice in handful"

"Let it cook and flow as white as snow"

"It's the marriage in our house"

"It's the marriage in our house"

In this midnight, with no fear you are standing alone in the bus stand.

If you caught by rouges, what will happen?

We are so decent, you are not into any trouble

If caught by rouges, what will happen?

Leave that

Tell us your whereabouts in detail

Don't cry

I am with you

"I am the wife of Andipatti Marriappan"

"What to say more than this brother?"

Brother? I don't like that relationship

Don't go in different route

"I married him with love in heart"

"After six months, he deserted me"

He left you?
