Zakhmi Aurat (ज़ख्मी औरत)

Inspector! He is my husband.

Please put him in the lock up.

What happened to him? He has sold away all my jewellery.

He sits at home and drinks alcohol the whole day.

Please put him in the lock up.

Look at this! He even beats me.

He also beats my kids. Don't release him!

Hey! -Don't you dare raise your hand in front of me!

She is my wife. She is my life partner. It's my right.

I'll beat her; after all I am her husband.

I'll give you your right now!

Put him in the lock up!

Sister, please don't release him from here!

You don't worry.

I'll put him behind bars for four to five days..

..he will come on track.

Ok, go.

Hello! Yes.

Sorry. This is mine and this is yours without sugar.

He comes to collect 5,000 rupees every Friday..

..as extortion money. He will come today also.

No need to worry.

I'll send my assistant sub - Inspector at your place.

She will explain everything to you.

You please give me your name and address.

Yes..

okay.

"The one who will protect herself..

..she is the woman of today."

"She won't be the like helpless woman of the past..

..she is the woman of today."

"The one who will protect herself..

..she is the woman of today."

"She won't be like the helpless woman of the past..

..she is the woman of today."

"The one who gave him birth..

..he only couldn't protect her."

"Lord, this is the bad state of a woman..

..in this world created by you."

"The one who gave him birth..

..he only couldn't protect her."

"Lord, this is the bad state of a woman..

..in this world created by you."

"This woman of today will not let..

..any woman be molested anymore."

"She won't be like the helpless woman of the past..

..she is the woman of today."

Hey sweetheart! Where is your boss Abu?

Tell me?!

Hey Police! - Police!

Is everything okay? - Yes.

Coffee please.

Coffee.

Thank you. - Please come again.

No one will move from his place!

Mr. Lallan, be careful! Nobody will come after us!

Hey! Stand up! Give whatever you have.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

She is firing bullets!

Good morning! - Morning!

Today Suraj has not come for jogging? - No he didn't come today.

If such is the state before marriage then..

..what will be the state after the marriage?

I'll handcuff him!

Do it quickly or else you will be left alone just like me.

Bye. - Bye-bye!

Help!

Madam! Madam, please don't tell my papa..

..that I am here.

Madam, please! Madam!

Shanti, the worst is over.

If you want that justice be done to you..

..then tell me in detail whatever happened with you.

Your statement will be used in the court.

Ok tell me, where did you first meet this man?

I met him today itself for the first time.

And took lift from him.

I didn't know that this scoundrel..

..will be like this.

And he will try to molest me.

I am telling you that, what was the need..

..to go to the police station and give your statement?

Whatever worst had to happen that has happened.

Now I don't want to go to the court..

..and defame myself. Do you follow?

You mean to say that the man..

..who has ravished your daughter..

..you don't want to get that man punished?

It's not he who will be punished..

..it's us who will be punished.

Our granddaughter is the one who will be punished.

She will have to answer all the question asked in the court.

My granddaughter is going to get married on the 31st of December.

If her in-law's come to know that..

..all this has happened with my granddaughter..

..then will they agree to marry her with their son?

But grandma, but whatever has happened..

..with me we'll have to tell them.

Shut up! What's wrong in telling a little bit of lie!

I have given my statement in the police station..

..and I want justice.

Justice should be done!

But justice doesn't mean that..

..whoever is produced in the court he should be found guilty.

What is your name? - Shanti.

Ms. Shanti, do you know the person..

..standing in front of you in the witness box?

Yes.

How did you reach in his car on the 11th of February?

He gave me lift in his car.

Did you ask for lift? - Yes. - Then?

He ravished me.

Ms. Shanti, before being ravished..

..were you a virgin?

I mean were you a virgin?

Yes.

Are you sure that, you were ravished by..

.. this young man Mr. Inderjit who is standing in front of you?

Yes.

Ok Ms. Shanti, can you tell us that..

..is your vision absolutely sharp or weak?

Is your eyesight sharp or weak?

I am short sighted.

But right now you are not wearing your specks?

I wear them only when needed.

At the time when you were ravished..

..were you wearing your specks at that time or not? - No.

Then what evidence do you have that Inderjit has ravished you?

I have evidence. Inspector Kiran Dutt.

Your honour, she was the one who had arrested the culprit.

Your honour, I would like to call..

..Inspector Kiran Dutt as a witness.

Permission granted.

Inspector Kiran Dutt, I hope..

..you are not doing a mistake in recognising Mr. Inderjit? - No.

Try to recollect, might be the fog in the morning.

Shanti's weak eyesight.

I hope you have not arrested a wrong person?

He was running after ravishing her.

This is also possible that even he might be jogging like you.

Your Honour, I agree that Ms. Shanti has been raped.

But Inderjit didn't rape her. That's all.

No more questions please.

Your Honour, now I would like to present..

..a witness as a defence.

Mr. Arun Pandit.

Your name? - Arun Pandit.

Your profession?

I am a manager at Natraj hotel in Pune.

Do you know Mr. Inderjit?

Him? I know him very well.

Whenever he comes to Pune, he stays in our hotel.

Good. When did he stay in your hotel the last time..

..Mr.. Mr. Pandit?

Yes, from 9th February to 11th February.

He checked out at 2 O'clock in the night on the 11th.

This means that on 11th February when the rape incident took place..

..he was in your hotel, Your Honour.

Do you have a proof that on in your hotel..

..on the 11th when the rape incident took place?

Yes, of course. I have the hotel register.

Your Honour, I would like to present the hotel register in the court.

In which Inderjit's name and signature are clearly there.

So when Inderjit was not in Mumbai on the 11th..

..I fail to understand that how did he give lift to Ms. Shanti..

..and how did he rape her?

Accused Inderjit should be released and freed from all the charges.

Sir, the court always asks for a witness in a rape case.

I was a witness in this case and the result is in front of you.

There are thousands of such cases..

..where there are no witnesses at all.

What is to be done about them?

The government should consider about this too.

And there are lots of suggestions, sir.

You please read it.

I can understand your view point.

Your suggestion will be sent to the higher authorities.

Hello. Yes, Suraj. Morning. Just a minute. Your phone.

Hello. - Where are you these days?

Do you know you have not met me from the last three days?

I'll talk to you later.

When? - I'll call you.

Now I cannot do any more household work.

Mom, I have told you so many times..

..that you hire one more maid servant.

I don't want a maid servant, I want a daughter-in-law.

I didn't ask Kiran that whether she knows to cook or not.

Who is Kiran? - Mom, she is a girl.

Will you marry her?

Mom, on one condition, if you like her only then.

Do you like her?

Yes, like her.

Then when are you going to introduce her to me?

Today. Yes, mom, right now.

Suraj,

what are you thinking?

I am sacred; mom wants to meet you today.

I am coming to your house.

If mom also likes you then I'll have to marry you.

And then I'll become a useless person for the rest of my life.
