Oru Kuprasidha Payyan (2018) - full transcript

It is a murder mystery which draws its inspiration from the real-life murders in Kerala and explores how a person can be framed and labelled a criminal, even if there is no solid proof of their guilt.

"A Notorious Boy"

Hold the rope!

Turn! Turn Ajaya!

Don't leave!

If you behave badly, I will scream.

In the kindness of the Merciful Rahim

The jingle of bangles in
mehndi-filled hands

The tinkle of anklets
and bangles in cohesion

The groom arrives in the
chariot of newdreams

The flower of love bloomed in heaven

Where's Ajayan?
There he is.



Don't you know that they
are high class people?

"Muruga catering unit"

0h Bhaskaretta! There isn't
even a penny left here.

lf ladies start to poison their kids in the
name of husbands abusing alcohol,

I saved that money to take
my child to hospital.

He doesn't care to respond.

Why are you hitting me?

Dear, you are a fool.

You have a long life in front of you.

It will all look like ajoke.

I had to take my child to hospital.

I didn't have enough money,

lwill arrange the money.

Here you go.



Look here.

Not to keep eating all 24 hours, right?

Enough?

She already know about it.

What?

So dumb.

You are the one spreading that news.

You won't understand that.

0k.

l have added 15 days for catering in April.

0k.

Jalaja, please wait. I am coming.

Are you in good terms with Ajayan?

He is a nice lovable guy.

Even my Uma tricked him a lot.

It will take only some care
to bring him back to track.

You come with me.

Do you have phone?

Hello Police station?

Does she live alone here?

Her relatives were informed from this,

Brother, do you know if she had
any issues with anyone?

Ajaya, did you see if anyone
came running this way?

You also check.

Bhas karetta, com e.

Stand there.

I am not scared.

Nowadays, he goes there to collect those.

Usually when | go there, the food
vessels will be there outside.

Few days before when I went there,

I looked inside...

I'm not catering today.

Chembakamma, Anwar brother will
scold me ifl go without food.

This is my house.

Next day, I had told that
I couldn't go there to collect food.

No.

Shejust wanted someone to listen to her.

Later, she started talking about
childhood stories.

That was much tastierthan howl make.

She used to feel sad while
talking about her hometown.

They were fighting each other.

Finally, she was at peace
once she came here.

Everyone...

All the love and care showered on me
was lost due to a small wish.

Awish to live with the person I loved.

Dear, I shall tell you one thing.

You should not leave your love
even ifthe whole world is against you.

If you do that, you will have to
bear the pain forthe whole life

Get inside man.

Atear drop

A laughter

Aren't the mind and the sky similar?

Atear drop

And aslight sob

There's a dew drop.

The summer is scorching

Through changing seasons.

Sir, we are enquiring about it.

Huge pressure is there to
hand over the case to Crime branch.

We want justice from Police!

Arrest the killers of Chembakammal!

So, you have to clear the mess
as early as possible.

Nowadays everything is
decided by social media.

Whatever it may be,
we won't leave without meeting Sir.

I got this present from the police men.

You should rememberthat.

You may have many relatives in your house.

Sister, what is your name?

Don't start shouting now itself.

If needed, I am ready to
break this hand also for that.

Rajeev!
- Sir!

Rajeev,
- Sir,

because my Dad fell ill,
I was asked to stay at home.

But you told everyone
that you got a newjob.

I haven't told anyone like that.

Chembaka sister was worried
about something recently.

The killer can't be caught
even by the police,

This incident happened
14 days after she said that.

Sir, it is true that she came to me.

I said thatl saw some
bad things on the horoscope.

Sir, would he have understood anything
like that from the horoscope?

Sir, it is truethatl had a fight
with her on the street.

She had lent me some money.

l have called her in between
to clear the accounts.

Else I haven't called ortroubled her.

Sir, that night I didn't even
get out of the restaurant.

That's because I only have that to
wear while cleaning the restaurant.

But he says that he saw you going out
with a knife through the backdoor.

I will believe that he is lying.

I didn't do anything, he is lying.

- If you ask like that...
- Then?

Can't you afford her?

Not that.

We get only those like dead fish,

If you are not getting that,
does anyone else come there?

Whatever you offer, I won't say like that.

And we start complaining about that,

People will say that I'm jealous.

It's because I sawwith my own eyes.

Who knows when he comes or leaves.

Everyone knows what he's doing there.

lfl say about it, people think
it's because ofjealousy.

How was she?

Sir, he is getting angry
when I told the truth.

3 weeks before Chembakammal died,

Where did you take her?

She asked me ifl could accompany
her to the temple festival.

I went with her after requesting
Ashraf brother to permit me leave.

And she wanted to meet him.

You should close it in 15 days.

You must corner the most convenient fit
but the catch should be perfect.

No,

Don't you know Pavithrettan
who runs the grocery shop?

Don't you have a fearwhen you
stand alone at the tip of hill?

Forget about that.

We all are there with you.

Don't you feel brave, nouf?

Anurse brought him up.
He was very indecent.

Also sometime back,
he had stabbed someone.

No case has been charged yet.

He is the guy.

Friend of Ajayan.

Come here.

He used to come, Sir.

Someone took him to
juvenile home when he left his home.

He also deals with drugs.

Do you think that police would believe,

you will be answerable when
your friends are involved.

You will be co-accused.

Tell me.

ls Tajuddin here?

No Sir, he will be at home.

Is there any issue?

Did they take Samir also?

They asked me the route,
And I told them that.

Then? Is it serious?

Who?
- The police men.

Tomorrow morning, go to market
and wait nearfish-seller Kunjikka,

Shabeer is there in Rajakkat,
we will take you there safely.

She will take care of you.

Hiding? From who?

- From the police.
- Police?

Didn't you steal money from there?

It's not for stealing, for killing.

And questioning everyone here?

Couldn't you at least considerthat?

Don't hold me like this.

Ajaya, don't run.

Sir, why are you taking that poor guy?

We have proofthat you did that.

Just tell us how it was done.

Hey! Stand still!

Please let me live working
in that restaurant.

Crime branch arrested the accused who
stabbed and killed a lady at Vaikom.

Crime branch arrested the accused who
stabbed and killed a lady at Vaikom.

Ajmal? Has he got that name too?

Ajayan was working in a hotel where
Chembakkamal was supplying food.

It was 'Ragam', in the
old market, isn't it?

Don't the children knowthe reason
oftheirfather's imprisonment?

There was no Kashmir in the map of India
displayed at the hotel.

Sir, those are old things.

I won't do anything.
But you should not pave way for it.

It won't take much to revive old ghosts.

After that come to the office tomorrow
with your brother and sign an affidavit.

Stay there. Stay there.

Sir, it's Manoj.

Everyone get out from here.

Even though, my mother discarded me,

Though you guys beat me this much,

He is seeing everything
and looking after me.

(Multiple news channels,
reporting the murder case)

(Multiple news channels,
reporting the murder case)

Here is the sweet.

I am not even getting a commission.

What did you tell home?

And walking around saying you are a lawyer?

Advocate Santhosh Narayan
is the special prosecutor.

So many like you are behind him
to become his juniors.

I don't want to be a lawyer like that.

Chembakkamal Murder case.

Is it Chembakkammal case?
-Yes, your honour.

Don't you knowyour age?

Everything will be fine
before 10th ofthis month.

Yes, your honour.

Those who have done that are still outside.

Com e, com e.

When you go to court next time,

Sc case No:41/17, Ajayan alias Ajmal.

Where is Marrar?

Yes sir.

Sir, I haven't done anything.

Get that please.

Don't you have an advocate?

This court appoints Advocate Hanna
Elizabeth as Legal Aid Counsel,

lam not confident, Sir.

It's a notorious murder case, that's why.

In my court, no advocate appears
on time other than you.

But, it's him who had killed...

I thought that you could
do thatjob very well.

I didn't do any favourfor you.

Yes.

At midnight 12:30 on 2015 June 18th,

the accused Ajayan alias Ajmal climbed
on the tiled roof ofthe house where

a lady called Chembakam,
who runs Muruga Catering lived alone,

- Been trying to reach you since
long, Bharatetta! - Forwhat?

Well, why did you call me?

Was it to tell me this you came here?

He is building a foundation for a
wicket taking ball that is yet to come

That is, this will be your maiden ball

The world will know your
style, vigour and dedication.

I've no money to pay your fees

Then wouldn't you have to adhere to the
instructions of the Court?

And that is now my greatest suffering.

That is a hell

Crime branch has a strong case against you

l have not committed any crime

Even if you deny that,

I don't know howthe purse
and shirt came there!

l knewwhere that was lying

Remember the spot
where you are throwing!

The way I was being thrashed,

Didn't he say that it was the police who had
him throwthe weapon used forthe Crime?

Do you know something

Instead, we travel on our created ways

And with ourfindings, we create our story

That must be the ethics of a Lawyer!

In the event of he having
committed the crime,

You are creating a story
based on truths you discover

Sir, I would like to meet Ajay

What is in this?

AShirt and dhothi

Come back quickly. Don't put us in trouble

It was not me who did that.

When the fingertips kiss

The fluttering of its wings.

Silence crashes as waves.

What sound can break this silence?

But if Police asks whether
he was the one who killed her,

Anyhow ain't I going back to that hell?

then you may not see me later

Any guess who could've done that?

Any person inimicaltowards her
met or contacted her...?

She took me as a companion

-What happened? What is the issue?
- Hey, nothing.

Would you dial this?

| forgot to get my specs

The way she was talking,
I sensed there is some problem

But I can give you the number! dialed

But! remember all the
numbers l have dialed,

08122992328

Hmm okay

Sorry sir, I didn't notice you

Wait.. Wait

Sindri Bank's Criminal Justice Ethics!

Stop..Dear, that Book
costs around Rs. 6000!

But ajunior at my office
showing such a stealing behavior

Wasn't itjust a book stolen?
Doesn't matter

After defending, don't end up
living with him!

I will only tell the truth to the court!

Sir, on 12th June 2015

12th or 18th?

Must be around 12 -12.30 am

No Sir, I don't have a question for him

I will only speak the truth to the court

Please tell the honourable
Court what you witnessed!

The day that lady was hacked,
around 12 '0 ' clock midnight,

When I was returning and
had reached Palam shop,

I've been screwed nicely at this midnight!

Need to repair some Cable!

See you, bro

Okay Okay

That midnight his behavior
did appear a bit strange

No, your honour

I will only speak the truth to the court

You and accused go to your room to sleep

I closed the Hotel around
3.45 am that day,

Butl didn't see him before that

I saw him walking out between 11 - 11.30

came to the counter with the news
that she had been hacked

It was he who told me about her murder

That is recorded in your
statement in Police records!

Or did the Police frame
it to their imaginations?

Yes, he did

must be evaluated as a psychological move.

Stealing was his primary intention!

His foster mom confirms that.

And Ashraf, Hotel Owner, testify.

l..Yes Your Honour

Look Ashraf,

Freshened up, hid the shirt in his room
and appeared before you, isn't it?

Or was he on the same working clothes?

Because it was he who served
me black tea that time

Make it quick

Let's stand away

Still...you did it?

Police threatened to book me too.

Not listening to them could have you too..

That's enough, man

Give me a call tomorrow afternoon.
I will keep it ready

CW 8 Dr. Renuka Subramanyam

Shall speak only the truth

The Face and Skull itself
had 15 deep wounds,

Knife, please

Postmortem report says the skull had cuts
about 8cm deep

lt's maxim um length is 50cms

How can a man cause wounds
larger than the dimensions ofthis Knife?

May kindly be noted, Your Honour

Postmortem report says there were
4 L shaped wounds on Chembakkammal's body

Proceed..Proceed

It's a chemical test to identify
presence of blood on the weapon

lfthis was the knife used
for causing 29 cuts and murder,

That this was not the knife used
forthe Murder, isn't it?

Your Honour!

lay for such a long period

Your Honour!

Prosecution is challenging
an internationally accepted method

This knife is highly rusted

Sir, please do advise,
my old assistant Hanna

You heard that Hanna!

Yes, what do you need?

Are you that concerned for Ajayan?

I know him ..

SC Case no.41/2017 CW 11 - Cl Praveen Kumar

Officer, isn't this the purse you seized?

Yes!

This Purse was found from
Ajayan's Almirah by the Crime branch

And the Purse which Crime branch
found from Accused's house and presented,

This purse that you recovered
from the deceased's house,

Do you have any idea of what you should do
with the evidence found at the Crime scene?

Sir, when Crime branch took
overthe investigation,

This is the list ofthings Local Police
handed over to Crime branch!

And no where it mentions about this Purse!

Were interrogated by you on the
immediate days of the murder

Do you need anything else?

May that fortune be yours! Best wishes!

Has any theft happened in this house
before Ammal's death?

Did she ever share any worries..

Be careful! If you don't listen to us,
you will regret later

|'|| killyou..

What is the Problem, Ammal?

No idea whether reservation charts
before 2 years can be retrieved?

Details of all the passengers who
boarded that train are in this!

Ramanadan Potty, the in-charge there,

Don't butter me

We can sort out your ego problems later!

Hey Ajayan

How does that bother me?

Got it?

If you get one from me..

Amidst that, Let's not try to worsen it!

This Ajayan is been given a name -Ajmal

is hoisted on my Client
with some other intentions!

Sir, on June 14, 2014

Forjust being Muslims or Dalits,

If a Hindu named person is given an
additional Muslim identity,

That thought caused forAjay
to be named Ajmal too

to bring in communalism
and win the case by my once junior,

Based on which investigation did you
come to know he has a name Ajmal also?

A Man called Mehruddin All from Hyderabad,

The Ajmal who was staying forthe Period of
April 2000 to August 2004

Yes, Sir

The sandal that was found by the Local Police
belowthe Stairs at the incident spot,

and mentioned about the weapon
used for murder thrown into the pond,

After reaching Parakulam Temple,

we sent for someone and recovered the knife

We sent for someone else to dive
and recover the knife

Didn't he say, the accused
didn't know swimming,

Mr. Simon, when did you come to knowthat
Ajay couldn't swim?

When did you realize Ajay
didn't know swimming?

No more questions, Your Honour

The Court disperses now

I don't remember anyone
addressing me by that name

Boss over there said,

The Man whom I met in the train then,

"Aymmunni"

To the court only the truth shall be said

Mr. Manoj, Who had asked you to come to
Parakulam temple pond?

At Cherai Beach

S.| Sir had called me asking
me to take leave that day

By about 10-10.30 the Crime Branch would
be coming to the Pond with the accused

Objection Your Honour

Please don't permit this

On the night before the
knife was recovered!

That the Crime branch had engaged
a trained diver in advance

So the statement given in this court by
Investigating
Officer Simon George is totally contrary to facts,

I had requested permission
for cross examining a Witness!

Objection Your Honour!

Then when my friend, learned counsel
expressed her stupidities in the court

l have a request to not let her repeat
those stupid ities and waste time

Proceed!

Is it impossible to identify the
presence of blood in Precipitin test?

No

lf rust is put through Micro analysis Test,
presence of blood could be found

Then, wasn't the result that
there was no blood present.

You said Micro analysis
test was done on the rust

but Spectroscopy analysis has to be done

What is so specific in this report?

97% ofthe rust formed
is in the reaction with Air

No! Rust forms faster in Water

That is all Your Honour

The Knife presented here by Crime Branch,

Don't believe it

The weapon said to be used for the Murder

was thrown into the Pond by the Accused

My humble submission before
the Honourable Court that,

Sir, please don't bearthis report
with any integrity

my colleague here is
presenting new evidences

How can that be termed as Fabrication...?

The trial of witnesses
in this Case is closed

I shall hearyour summary tomorrow morning.

With the awareness that the
boy's life is in your hands!

The numberyou are trying to call
is presently switched off

Move away

What?

When Bharathettan takes on something
it will come as a surprise.

On the way, I will tell you
everything in detail

Get ready soon

Your honour

Then to prove that an accused is discovered

Crime Branch set out to
fabricate evidences and witnesses

Was seen by Witness No. 1 Bhaskaran

Later he told this to the
Crime Branch is a mystery.

Kindly permit me to point
an element missed out in the case

It is the facebook account of one of the
witnesses ofthis case, Uma Sundaram

From the date that can be known

by the police, is the other one.

Months before the murder, that
ladder had been there

Even that has not been torn or displaced

So the statement that he saw the
accused walking away with the ladder

Why is the easiest way being avoided
by the Crime Branch?

Entry can be without force

Sir, the evidence forthat
theory is along with that..

This is the list of calls that came to
9847413144, Chembakkammal's number

Those three were from her cousin Anandam

08122992328

Who happens to be Chembakkammmal's native.

For his travel from Shertallai to Karwar

Her name is C P Chembakkam

Your Honour, Udayavani paper
Mangalore edition dated 21st June 2015

The news is about the murder of M .Palani
Murugan in Sri Vishwanatha Lodge in Gokarna

As in the case of Chembakkammal, he too had
cuts all over his face, skull and body

The relationship between them was
not only overlooked

And with the intention to
alter the direction of the case,

The theories ofthe prosecution may not be

According to the prosecution the
motive ofthe murderer was burglary

However some other reasons for the
murder existed.

Chembakkammal leaving Pandipuram village
in Thirunelveli, 30 years before,

Was the outcome of herfalling in
love outside her caste

The revenge sequences still
continue even afterthree decades

There is a greater possibility ofthis
murder falling into that murder series.

is what! intended
to remind by presenting these evidences.

My old Assistant...

She knows there is no chance

The accused, under lPC
sections 450, 397, 302 and 201

Just to satisfy the ego of
the police orthe politician

An innocent young man was
trapped by the Police

Please..

lfthe accused wishes to
say anything, he may.

I didn't murder Chembakkammal.

This case is posted to 28th
ofthis month for orders

Hanna, I realize that you are good at
creating stories,

But all that will not
work with Judge Jayadevan

Forthat first thing needed is
veneration for teacher

Don't think like that, Ajayan

Even ifl lose, at least
someone spoke for me.

Moving to another news

2015 June in Vaikkom, a lady staying
alone was murdered in the night

After the failure for over an year of the
local police to arrest the culprit

Crime branch created an elaborate and scientific
investigation in the Chembakkammal case

The arrest of the accused in the
Chembakkammal murder is a win for the people

Crime branch took on the case
and arrested the accused.

Under lPC Section 450, 397, 302, 201
the court is convinced that

the accused has not committed any crime

Hence under Cr PC 235 Clause 1
the accused has been acquitted

12th Witness Cl Simon George has
committed serious human rights violation

To find out the actual
killers of Chem bakkammal

And ifthat is not possible, this Court recommends
it may be handed over to any other agency.

The 11th witness Cl Praveen
Kumar's criminal negligence

has been established

Because they must be trained to
face the worst situations

Hanna's win is logically my win too

Whenl leftyour office,
I had only one desire

I will be a better human being

2018 OCTOBER

You must forgive me..

that l was here at that time

"When fingertips and finger
tips kiss each other"

"The flapping of wings is silent"

"In the stream when a
heart flows into a heart"

"Which sound can win over this silence.."

"The great sound of the sky"
