Meghna Sundarajan...
Greetings, professor
Hope you are doing fine
Huh, I'm sure you're doing good
After all you've been pimping out college
girls to those in power and in politics
My guy is waiting outside
your home...
with audio recordings of your calls
with your students
I don't need your money
I want the list of all those to
whom you pimped out your students
Go get that parcel and check it out
Madam!
Hello, madam!
Bro, the parcel hasn't
been delivered yet
The delivery guy is disconnecting my calls
Seemed like he has
something else in his mind
I think he is up to something
Now, what should I do?
Dude, check who is it
Who is it?
It's Maari
Hello
A small work.
Would you like to take it up?
I'm sleeping, chief
Get this done and you'll
get double pay than usual
What does he want?
He says he'll double up the pay
Fine, tell him we'll do it
Okay, chief.
Send me the location
I'll Whatsapp it to you
He said he'll pay up Rs. 20,000!
Usually he'll make us toil
hard for a mere Rs. 5,000
Must be some rich house
Whatever. We'll just do the job and
flick some costly items for ourselves
Well, as good it may sound, the
petty thefts never bothered us much
Well, now that we've decided to go for
it, let make the best out it. Come on
Hey! Careful
Siddhu!
Hello, sir...

Chief, we did it on your orders
What's going on?
I just heard the news
Chief, this looks quite serious
Our job there was a different
agenda but something else happened
What's our fault in this?
Just forget it
What if only we both get caught?
Hear me out carefully
I think you're doubting me
Turn yourselves in if you guys want
I don't have any problem if you rat me out
I'll be out within 10 days
You both are student.
So, think about it
Fine, we'll discuss that later.
Did you finish the job?
Chief, well...
You didn't even finish the job?
What the heck were you doing?
Shouldn't have given you that job!
Now, hang up!
What do we do now?
- Why is he weeping?
- It was his friend
- Got him in your list?
- Already inquired him, sir
He owns a construction company it seems
Guys who broke in were petty thieves
They were trying to steal
gadgets like mobile, computer
But chickened out and left them
The tea shop guy claims that he saw 2 guys
Hold on. Wait. The officer
will come and update
Sir, any information
regarding the murder?
Sir, day by day such murders
are on the increase
Sir, just a minute.
Please answer me
What is the motto
behind this murder, sir?
Sir, over here.
Just a minute
Two guys broke in thinking
the house was empty
The guy tried to stop them
and they murdered him
We have got proofs and one round
of investigation is already over
We'll nab the murderers soon
Sir, again the usual "Update
in 48 hrs" statement?
You'll anyway make this
murder the headlines
And if we crack the case, you'll just
print in some corner of the newspaper
The murderers will be soon behind the bars
- Sir! Sir! Just one more question
- We are done here. Leave!
It is assumed that 2 murderers reached
the crime spot at early morning...
and during the tussle that broke out, the
thieves murdered the person staying at home
As per the police statement
The tea shop employee who lived
nearby said he witnessed them escaping
"I will nab those 2 culprits
and make them answer to law"
A statement from Thiruvanmiyur
police officer, Chezian
What? We did it?
What's going on?
We are trapped and in a soup now!
Petty thefts were just fine but
you wanted make it big! Now look!
Look what Maari pushed us into
You! Say something!
No Adhi...
Something's wrong.
Someone else is playing the game
Remember the victim's friend?
Why would he finish him
off, that too over there?
First, we must find out at
what time he was murdered
The police knows only the time of our
escape and not the time we broke in
We got only one way out of this mess
Before police nabs us we
must find the real murderer
That's again unnecessary!
Let's just take some
off time and abscond!
Stop talking like you're crazy!
Do you thing they'll not
find us if we abscond?
The guy who passed by
in bicycle saw us
And the inspector claims
he has proofs against us
A small doubt and you know
how the police treats.
We went there to steal!
On top of all, from the police till
media, everyone are smart and aware
If, by chance, we get caught...
neither can we prove ourselves
not guilty nor can we escape
In any case the cops will nab us
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Hereafter, you obey my words! Got it?
Let's stay quiet for few days
Let's follow that victim's friend
If we sense that police are nearing us
then we'll rat out Maari
Okay, right
When he called me...
I must have attended his call
If I was home...
then I should be the one...
dead!
They could have robbed everything
and anything from here...
...but they must not
have murdered him
None will be spared
Doesn't matter who is
it, none will be spared
Dinesh...what's wrong?
Why are you upset?
Don't keep thinking about it. Just leave it
No, Raadhi!
If I was the one dead, do you think
my parents would've been quiet?
If he had someone, they'd
have got him justice at least
I am the only one who
was there for him
His absence makes me
realize it, Raadhi
Tell me
- Dinesh, right?
- Yes
Didn't you say that only the victim,
Sampath and you stayed here?
Well sir, he'd be very upset
if he's alone. Hence...
Oh, I see. And you are?
A family friend. We're
planning to get married
- Where are you from?
- Thanjavur, sir
Parents have settled in US
Since, when are you here
It's been 4 years since I bought this house
Parents stay here
whenever they visit
Yearly once
What do you do?
Buddha construction belongs to my dad
We are taking care of it
How long since you know
the victim, Sampath?
We studied together since childhood
His parents were farmers
They committed suicide
When I found that out, I
took him in ever since that
He completed engineering but somehow he
wasn't interested in working in that field
He reads a lot and has
written a few books too
He wanted to become a successful writer
Recently he took up a part time job
Part time job?
Where?
I don't know, sir
He'd set out saying it is
some delivery business
Since I didn't like him
taking up that job...
I didn't inquire much about it
Fine, where were you last night?
There was a small office party last night
I had been to it
Do you doubt anyone?
I don't have any doubts, sir...
I'm sure it was those thieves
Okay, Dinesh...
Coperate with us.
Please come if you summon you
Sure, sir
Hey!
Isn't this Sampath's phone?
Hello
No, thanks
Customer care
As of today it's 4 days
since Sampath is no more
Not even a single call from the office
where we worked as delivery boy
Thought I'll check his
call logs and report
But all the calls were web calls
Told you no to ponder over
it and move on.
Forget it!
Sir...
I did a thorough check.
He was at that party
the whole night
They claim he stepped
out for 10 minutes
Turns out he was on a video call
with is parents, who live abroad
Details are here in this pen drive.
Apart from these, he's
always been in office
Sure, sir.
- Okay, Saba
- Okay, sir
- Let's go
- Okay, sir
- Any update on the autopsy report?
- I hear it's ready, sir
All the evidences point towards
us yet they are following him
So, like us, even the police doubts him
He has done something.
For sure!
Sir!
The autopsy report says the murderers
have executed the perfect crime
Doesn't look like newbies
- Bharani
- Sir
Hello
There's one delivery to be done.
Interested?
- No thanks, chief
- What happened?
We have stopped it
I'll ensure that you guys
won't face any issue
Let me call you back, chief
What is it?
It was Maari
What else would he call us for?
Dinesh!
What are you up to?
Raadhi...
someone else came here
before the thieves broke in
How do you say?
As per the autopsy, Sampath died at 11:20
I was with him on that until 9:30
We had been to dinner, as usual
That's when he received a call from
the company where he works part time
Tell me, sir
Can I finish my dinner
and start in 5 minutes?
Okay, sir
Dude, an urgent delivery.
He's waiting nearby our home
Please drop me at home
Told you that job sucks and
you want me to drop you?
- Told you to join my office!
- Let me try on my own first
If I don't get
anything, I shall join
Shall we go now?
I really don't like you
doing this, I'm telling you
I was getting late for office
party, so I left to pick you up
When we were at the party,
Sampath had called me at 11
I couldn't attend and then later
I returned his call around 11:30
He didn't pick the call and by then he was
dead. That's what the autopsy report says too
The thieves jumped out
of the house at 3:30
The house was in a mess
Blood stains on the stairs. They got
scared on seeing the corpse and ran away
11:20 to 3:30
Almost 4 hours the broke in to
steal but left without anything.
So, why'd they come here?
If they were not here for money
or jewels then what could it be?
Sampath used to get regular calls
from that delivery company
The company must have contacted him
in either case, if he's dead or alive
I checked his phone logs and all
the company calls were web calls
Raadhi...
definitely someone else
came in before the thieves
Are web calls traceable?
Constable, looks like
the inspector is upset
He wants us to close the file but
not so easy to find the criminals!
- After all it's our job
- Drats
- Sir
- Yes?
I was travelling in his rickshaw,
a bike guy snatched away my mobile
Why were so careless?
Go file the complaint
with the writer
Please sit
Where are you coming from?
Where did the incident happen?
How many were there? 1 or 2?
Did you notice them?
Did you see their bike number?
Write down each and every detail
What's the case?
I was travelling in his rickshaw,
a bike guy snatched away my mobile
Locality?
Thiruvanmiyur
Okay, sit
- Where in Thiruvanmiyur?
- Rajagopalan street
Guys who broke in were petty thieves
They were trying to steal gadgets
like mobile, computer...
- Bharani
- Sir? Coming, sir
- We got the robbery case list, right?
- Yes, sir
- Get me that
- Okay, sir
Any update on the autopsy
report I asked for?
Around what time?
Confirm?
Well, the victim was my friend.
Hence...
Okay
J-6 station receiving, sir
Sir...
Professor committed suicide
- Reason?
- Don't know yet, sir
The calls she had with her girl students
were tapped and since it leaked...
Some files have been burnt down
The TV has been running
"What you have to do is....like
they expect something..."
"so to meet those need and get it done
successfully...college girls...."
"they expect something from
college girls like you"
"I am doing my.... Like I have
never stooped to this level ever"
"I can only tell you this much...
Like few things..."
"and I believe that you
too will understand it"
"So, they expect something from you"
Dinesh, check out this news
The PPT professor committed suicide
She lives in our locality
Back to back deaths under mysterious
condition. Are they murder or suicide?
Who leaked the professor's
call recordings?
Who gave the police the rights to expose
the details of the girl who spoke to her?
Does the situation demand a CBI
investigation? Who all will be exposed?
Like "murder for political benefit", is "murder
for power" starting to rise in Tami Nadu?
Today's show of "Let's talk politics"
continues with many such questions
Answer me this. Why do you keep
dragging CBI in to every silly thing?
The suicide was due to depression and
her ethics failing in her profession
The investigation is going smooth
Then why drag the CBI? Why
are you talking like crazy?
Does the opponent party
have nothing better to do?
Truth must be exposed so it can be either
CBI investigation or police investigation
I hold the government
responsible for the murders
No way!
There are some high profile people involved
as per the audio leaked
- Every murder has some high profile links
- Don't you add irrelevant names
We don't look at every such
incident as mere murders
It's all trash talk!
We look upon it as
the murder of democracy
All names mentioned in
those burnt files at the house...
...of professor who
committed suicide...
The complete truth must be out!
Dude...
I doubt Maari
He sent us to that house on that day
We found a dead guy
He came with a new
delivery address yesterday
And today a professor
is dead in that address
If we had taken up that
job the other day...
...we'd be buried six feet under by now!
Adhi...
I somehow feel we must
take police's help
No Raadhi
The had executed it so perfect
We can't crack it, no
matter how much we try
My friend, Vishnu, is an ethical hacker
How about we get his help?
All I hear is murder and suicide.
What's going on?
- What progress have you made?
- Sir, investigation is on
We'll nab the culprits soon
Yeah, the same old answer!
Too much pressure from the top management
Our locality has been the
hot topic for past 2 months
On top of that, don't
get me started on media
Fine, what's your progress?
Doesn't look like the usual gangsters.
Looks like some new, inexperienced guys
They murdered him, chickened out
and left the loot there itself
We only found petty electronic items
in their bags they left there
I've almost zeroed in on them.
We'll nab them
I'm just waiting for a small loop hole
Whatever it is, speed up.
I have a meeting today evening
Sure, sir
Let's go. Drive
Sir, our locality robbery
case file that you asked for
Sir, most of the accused
in this file are caught
There are few cased that
are yet to be solved
Few involve students, hence the case has
not been registered and left pending
Fine, get me those unsolved case files
Sir, no stolen goods are flowing
in the market like before
No idea where the stolen
good are now sold off
The market is not the
same like before, Bharani
Digital India. There are websites
online to sell stolen goods
There are apps competing
to sell such goods
- You may leave
- Okay, sir
Raadhi, see here.
There is a way
We have an option to poke
back the web callers
If we call back the web number from which we
received a call, they'll get a notification
They can call us when they notice it
- Call that number now
- Dinesh, do it
Yes! The notification is sent
So, if he calls back Sampath after he
notices this notification then its normal
Your theories could be wrong
But if he keeps quiet even
after seeing this notification...
then something is fishy
They we got ourselves a big problem
Sir....
Sir, a report of phones sold from
our locality, in ALX online
The contact numbers of many phones
we doubt match the ones in these
There are the contacts of
buyer and seller in it
The contact of a person
name 'Siddarth' is frequent
I have marked those, sir
Okay, sir
Hello
J-6 inspector, Chezian here
I need the complete details
of a contact number
Tell me, sir
"9840508677"
I'll collect the details
and email it to you, sir
Okay, I shall wait
Was it him you saw?
Sir! That's him!
Why is Nisha calling?
Hello
Adhi, cops just came and left the
college in search of you guys
Okay
The cops are looking for us
What?
Raadhi! Come here!
See, he has received
our poke messages
He is reading it
He has read it for sure
It true that we broke into that house
But, we didn't murder him
How is it that you broke in exactly
to the house where murder took place?
We did petty thefts for our survival
Gadgets like laptops and cell
phones of our college students
Whatever we loot like that, we sell
them in ALX or directly in the market
That's where we befriended Maari
He started giving us small delivery jobs
We did that as a part time job
Since he knew us well...
On the 23rd, he asked us to steal a
blue cover parcel from that house
But when we jumped into
that house that day...
the rear door of that
house was open
As soon as we broke in...
we first stole all that
was essential for us
Then moved to the next room
in search of that parcel
But, we saw a corpse there
We were shocked and escaped at once
And that's when that tea
shop guy noticed us
We called up Maari to
explain what had happened
He further scared us
Turn yourselves in if you guys want
I don't have any problem if you rat me out
You both are student.
So, think about it
When he said that...
we were scared to
approach the police
We saw the headlines next
morning and were shocked!
What else have you done?
Since that incident we
stopped everything
We tried to find the murderer
But we couldn't
We didn't have a proper plan
So we thought of escaping from here
That's when...
you caught us
Please, our life will be ruined, sir
Please, sir
Even last week...
we were offered Rs. 10,000 to steal
a pen drive from the same locality
We refused
Pen drive? Which locality?
Thiruvanmiyur, sir
Date?
Sir, March 23rd
That's when our exams got over
Are you sure about the date?
Confirm, sir
- The pen drive that we got from professor's house
- Yes, sir
- Bring that
- Okay, sir
Call him again
Again! Again!
He received this poke too.
He has noticed it
Call him again
He noticed this one too
He is definitely noticing it
all but there is no response
Then according to you he's definitely got
something to do with Sampath's murder
- Right time to inform the police
- Yeah. Okay
Sir, it's me, Dinesh
Can we speak. It's important
Dinesh, I'm busy with an important work.
Come to the station
Okay, sir
- Do you know Maari's house?
- Yes, sir
Do you think police would
take all these seriously?
I don't care. I am not resting
until I crack this, Raadhi
Raadhi!
He gave the parcel to Sampath on that day
Follow him!
Which one?
That rooftop
This is Maari's house. He must
be on his way from the market
Go fast! Go! Go!
Dinesh, stop!
Wait! Wait!
Raadhi, you go to the station.
I'll come
Fine, do keep me posted
Maari!
Dude, get him!
Arun...
Maari is done and dusted
Problem's no more
Okay
Sir...
In the middle of the road?
Se we have few doubts regarding the
accused in Sampath's murder case
Moreover, doesn't look like
those thieves murdered him
Someone else is involved
- What do you mean?
- Yes, sir
Let it remain confidential. Go down
and handle things. I'll follow
Okay, sir
Dinesh!
- Saba...
- Sir?
I had asked for the CCTV footage
from the deceased professor's house
On process, sir
- Get me that immediately
- Okay, sir
Sir...
- Selvam...
- Sir?
Need the complete call
history of this number
Okay, sir
Sir, mostly web calls and
there are also normal numbers
Get the id proofs of those numbers
Sir, normal numbers are quite
easily traceable but...
web calls....we can try
IP address?
We can nab the culprit
with IP address but...
if he's using it then definitely he'd
have used Poptax, Global phone, CG phone
Sure he'd have installed IP hacker
It's not like before. There are
many apps to make fake calls
So, it'd be quite tough, sir
Sir...
We can find the receiver's location
Superb Selvam!
Can you get a list of all the
web calls made in the city?
That'd be tough, sir because every
telemarketing call is made using web calls
- Can it be filtered?
- I can try, sir
Usual no one attends the spam calls
If attended, still the
calls won't last for long
Do one thing. Any web
calls above 5 minutes...
- Filter those alone
- Yes, sir
Sir...
the CCTV footage from
professor's house is here
Sir, the CCTV footage are
available on till March 22nd
All footage from 23rd is missing.
It's completely missing
To be exact, sine a week
before she committed suicide
March 22...
Sir...
can we locate Sampath's final location
before he came home the day he was murdered?
Sir, except from Meghna's locality,
everyone else are caught
Everyone has Maari's name on their lip
Sir, they belong to Maari's group
The are faking it saying they are
delivery boys and just went to deliver
Sir, we don't belong to Maari's group.
We went to him after seeing
an part time job poster
He'll give us the package and pay
us for delivering. That's it
Sir, we delivered all
that on Maari's orders
Why are you all quiet?
Speak up!
Sir, I'm a photographer
Sir, we both are engineering students
Sir, we had to pay our fees
hence the part time job
I am Maari's neighbour.
I work in a fast food outlet
He asks me to deliver packages
and then pays up. That's all
Sir, I'm looking for a job
Sir, I'm a cab driver
I drive a share auto rickshaw
At Avadi
You?
Sir, I am a mechanic
- Remember the addresses you delivered in?
- Yes, sir
If you just sing the same old "We just know
Maari and nothing else", no one is leaving here
You better speak up if
there is anything else
Sir, I was asked to visit the
police station for some inquiry
There was heavy traffic.
Also, I live at Neelangarai
You too belonged to Maari's group?
- Professor lived at Neelangarai, right?
- That bald fellow?
- Come here
- Sir...
Do you know college
professor, Meghna's house?
No, sir. I don't know whose address it is
Usually I'm asked to deliver the
parcel or some days to collect
I was paid well. That's all, sir
I befriended Maari at that
auto rickshaw stand over there
Sir I delivered in Palavakkam, Kottivakkam,
Neelangarai, Kovalam, Thiruvanmiyur etc.
Remember all those addresses?
I do, sir
- Sivaraman
- Sir...
Tail all the houses
they have delivered in
- I need all their updates within an hour
- Okay, sir
Saba...
- College all the CCTV footage of those
houses and hand it to Selvam - Okay, sir
Do you know him?
Tell me, Sivaraman
Sir, all those addresses point from
minister's farm house to Police IG's house
Sir, all the address are of powerful people
Most of them are politicians
Rest of them are government officers
Since all of these people
are very powerful...
CCTV are available
Out of all the houses delivered, the least
ranked is an assistant of executive magistrate
We inquired him but he
didn't have any answers
I shall bring him sir
Okay. Bring him.
I'll take care of it
Sir...
just a moment
Sir, this was Sampath's location,
an hour before he died
Based on that location, he was at the
professor's house to deliver something
But we don't have the CCTV footage from
that day to find out what happened
Sir, look...
someone has been following
all those delivery boys
He finds out if the package was delivered
successfully and is updating someone
I somehow feel that even Maari wasn't
aware that this guy was following them
Selvam, check if you find
a clear image of this guy
Forward his photo to all the local stations
We must nab him by tonight
I'll take care if any problem arises
Tell me, Aarmugam. Where
was the package from?
How much did you pay?
2 months ago.
One fine evening around 5...
I received a package
The package contained...
I had once made a deal and
got a bribe of 0.5 millions
The package had a pen drive containing
audio and video of the deal I had made
Right away I received a
call from an unknown number
When I attended it, I understood it
was them, who sent me the package
I told them I'd give them all of
the 0.5 million bribe I received
But they refused money
Instead they wanted a list of my
higher officials who earned more bribe
After that I monitored
and gave them the list
Fine, you may leave
Sir, it was a video of my boyfriend and I
I don't know how they got their hands on it
They started blackmailing
me with that video
I broke up with my boyfriend
but even after that...
they blackmailed me and made
me attended many parties
With some guys in party...I
was forced to...
Most of them were sons of big shots
Few of them were the
sons of some ministers
They let go of me but now they are torturing
those guys who spent time with me
They call me every now and then
I had did it only once
with my boyfriend...
but these guys made me...
We split the moment I got that package
It's been long since I got
a call from them
My life just got back on
track and is going smooth
Please, it won't be good if I
get involved in a case now
I paid them the ransom
they demanded
Please let me go
Minister sent me. It was his son
Please don't drag him into this case
now when the MP elections are around
Minister trying to win a seat for his son in
election. He'll be a central minister soon
That group was troubling him
and we have settled them
Tell us what we can do for you
and I'll ensure it's done
Tell me, Chezian
Do you see any loop hole
in their statement?
It could be one mysterious guy
or two or could be a gang
Every low ranked to senior most government
employees, business tycoons, VIPs, politicians...
all their illegal transactions, bribes
they collect and their affairs...
They collect all these details, place
cameras in their bedrooms and record them
Then they blackmail them for ransom
They are executing a crime
in a perfect way
When businessmen meet at big
hotels to make big deals...
using latest technology, for example
in boltnuts, bottles or sunglasses...
small cameras are installed
and videos are recorded
Tried to check if these culprits can be caught
in CCTV but they hack it and destroy it
The details up to the last PA of a minister,
his multiple phone numbers, his call logs...
They got every single details
One of their such victim was the
college professor Meghna Sundarajan
They blackmailed here with the audio of her
calls with her students and demanded ransom
She committed suicide realizing
it would be shameful if it leaks
Moreover, it wasn't those thieves who
committed that murder in Thiruvanmiyur
These guys did it
Sampath, who got murdered, was
one among these delivery boys
These delivery boys blindly deliver the
package without knowing any of it's details
They take the money and deliver the
package to the mentioned address
Knowing the risk if these details leak, they
murdered Sampath just like they murdered Maari
So, what do you
suggest we do now?
We are not sure how many lives
are lost because of these guys
So the only option is to nab them, get their
statement and finish them off in an Encounter
Then we will do it
We'll proceed, sir
Hello...
- Raadhi...
- What happened?
The CCTV footage at professor's house is missing
from since Sampath went their to deliver
Neither that professor nor
Sampath are alive now
Now, I doubt if it was really
Sampath's employer who killed him
Let's do it the same way
Police targeted the thieves,
we found these frauds
Now, the police is targetting these frauds
I'm sure there is someone
else above them!
In order to find Sampath's
murderer ...

Greetings, professor
Hope you are doing fine
Huh, I'm sure you're doing good
After all you've been pimping out college
girls to those in power and in politics
My guy is waiting outside
your home...
with audio recordings of your calls
with your students
I don't need your money
I want the list of all those to
whom you pimped out your students
Go get that parcel and check it out
Madam!
Hello, madam!
Bro, the parcel hasn't
been delivered yet
The delivery guy is disconnecting my calls
Seemed like he has
something else in his mind
I think he is up to something
Now, what should I do?
Dude, check who is it
Who is it?
It's Maari
Hello
A small work.
Would you like to take it up?
I'm sleeping, chief
Get this done and you'll
get double pay than usual
What does he want?
He says he'll double up the pay
Fine, tell him we'll do it
Okay, chief.
Send me the location
I'll Whatsapp it to you
He said he'll pay up Rs. 20,000!
Usually he'll make us toil
hard for a mere Rs. 5,000
Must be some rich house
Whatever. We'll just do the job and
flick some costly items for ourselves
Well, as good it may sound, the
petty thefts never bothered us much
Well, now that we've decided to go for
it, let make the best out it. Come on
Hey! Careful
Siddhu!

Chief, we did it on your orders
What's going on?
I just heard the news
Chief, this looks quite serious
Our job there was a different
agenda but something else happened
What's our fault in this?
Just forget it
What if only we both get caught?
Hear me out carefully
I think you're doubting me
Turn yourselves in if you guys want
I don't have any problem if you rat me out
I'll be out within 10 days
You both are student.
So, think about it
Fine, we'll discuss that later.
Did you finish the job?
Chief, well...
You didn't even finish the job?
What the heck were you doing?
Shouldn't have given you that job!
Now, hang up!
What do we do now?
- Why is he weeping?
- It was his friend
- Got him in your list?
- Already inquired him, sir
He owns a construction company it seems
Guys who broke in were petty thieves
They were trying to steal
gadgets like mobile, computer
But chickened out and left them
The tea shop guy claims that he saw 2 guys
Hold on. Wait. The officer
will come and update
Sir, any information
regarding the murder?
Sir, day by day such murders
are on the increase
Sir, just a minute.
Please answer me
What is the motto
behind this murder, sir?
Sir, over here.
Just a minute
Two guys broke in thinking
the house was empty
The guy tried to stop them
and they murdered him
We have got proofs and one round
of investigation is already over
We'll nab the murderers soon
Sir, again the usual "Update
in 48 hrs" statement?
You'll anyway make this
murder the headlines
And if we crack the case, you'll just
print in some corner of the newspaper
The murderers will be soon behind the bars
- Sir! Sir! Just one more question
- We are done here. Leave!
It is assumed that 2 murderers reached
the crime spot at early morning...
and during the tussle that broke out, the
thieves murdered the person staying at home
As per the police statement
The tea shop employee who lived
nearby said he witnessed them escaping
"I will nab those 2 culprits
and make them answer to law"
A statement from Thiruvanmiyur
police officer, Chezian
What? We did it?
What's going on?
We are trapped and in a soup now!
Petty thefts were just fine but
you wanted make it big! Now look!
Look what Maari pushed us into
You! Say something!
No Adhi...
Something's wrong.
Someone else is playing the game
Remember the victim's friend?
Why would he finish him
off, that too over there?
First, we must find out at
what time he was murdered
The police knows only the time of our
escape and not the time we broke in
We got only one way out of this mess
Before police nabs us we
must find the real murderer
That's again unnecessary!
Let's just take some
off time and abscond!
Stop talking like you're crazy!
Do you thing they'll not
find us if we abscond?
The guy who passed by
in bicycle saw us
And the inspector claims
he has proofs against us
A small doubt and you know
how the police treats.
We went there to steal!
On top of all, from the police till
media, everyone are smart and aware
If, by chance, we get caught...
neither can we prove ourselves
not guilty nor can we escape
In any case the cops will nab us
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Hereafter, you obey my words! Got it?
Let's stay quiet for few days
Let's follow that victim's friend
If we sense that police are nearing us
then we'll rat out Maari
Okay, right
When he called me...
I must have attended his call
If I was home...
then I should be the one...
dead!
They could have robbed everything
and anything from here...
...but they must not
have murdered him
None will be spared
Doesn't matter who is
it, none will be spared
Dinesh...what's wrong?
Why are you upset?
Don't keep thinking about it. Just leave it
No, Raadhi!
If I was the one dead, do you think
my parents would've been quiet?
If he had someone, they'd
have got him justice at least
I am the only one who
was there for him
His absence makes me
realize it, Raadhi
Tell me
- Dinesh, right?
- Yes
Didn't you say that only the victim,
Sampath and you stayed here?
Well sir, he'd be very upset
if he's alone. Hence...
Oh, I see. And you are?
A family friend. We're
planning to get married
- Where are you from?
- Thanjavur, sir
Parents have settled in US
Since, when are you here
It's been 4 years since I bought this house
Parents stay here
whenever they visit
Yearly once
What do you do?
Buddha construction belongs to my dad
We are taking care of it
How long since you know
the victim, Sampath?
We studied together since childhood
His parents were farmers
They committed suicide
When I found that out, I
took him in ever since that
He completed engineering but somehow he
wasn't interested in working in that field
He reads a lot and has
written a few books too
He wanted to become a successful writer
Recently he took up a part time job
Part time job?
Where?
I don't know, sir
He'd set out saying it is
some delivery business
Since I didn't like him
taking up that job...
I didn't inquire much about it
Fine, where were you last night?
There was a small office party last night
I had been to it
Do you doubt anyone?
I don't have any doubts, sir...
I'm sure it was those thieves
Okay, Dinesh...
Coperate with us.
Please come if you summon you
Sure, sir
Hey!
Isn't this Sampath's phone?
Hello
No, thanks
Customer care
As of today it's 4 days
since Sampath is no more
Not even a single call from the office
where we worked as delivery boy
Thought I'll check his
call logs and report
But all the calls were web calls
Told you no to ponder over
it and move on.
Forget it!
Sir...
I did a thorough check.
He was at that party
the whole night
They claim he stepped
out for 10 minutes
Turns out he was on a video call
with is parents, who live abroad
Details are here in this pen drive.
Apart from these, he's
always been in office
Sure, sir.
- Okay, Saba
- Okay, sir
- Let's go
- Okay, sir
- Any update on the autopsy report?
- I hear it's ready, sir
All the evidences point towards
us yet they are following him
So, like us, even the police doubts him
He has done something.
For sure!
Sir!
The autopsy report says the murderers
have executed the perfect crime
Doesn't look like newbies
- Bharani
- Sir
Hello
There's one delivery to be done.
Interested?
- No thanks, chief
- What happened?
We have stopped it
I'll ensure that you guys
won't face any issue
Let me call you back, chief
What is it?
It was Maari
What else would he call us for?
Dinesh!
What are you up to?
Raadhi...
someone else came here
before the thieves broke in
How do you say?
As per the autopsy, Sampath died at 11:20
I was with him on that until 9:30
We had been to dinner, as usual
That's when he received a call from
the company where he works part time
Tell me, sir
Can I finish my dinner
and start in 5 minutes?
Okay, sir
Dude, an urgent delivery.
He's waiting nearby our home
Please drop me at home
Told you that job sucks and
you want me to drop you?
- Told you to join my office!
- Let me try on my own first
If I don't get
anything, I shall join
Shall we go now?
I really don't like you
doing this, I'm telling you
I was getting late for office
party, so I left to pick you up
When we were at the party,
Sampath had called me at 11
I couldn't attend and then later
I returned his call around 11:30
He didn't pick the call and by then he was
dead. That's what the autopsy report says too
The thieves jumped out
of the house at 3:30
The house was in a mess
Blood stains on the stairs. They got
scared on seeing the corpse and ran away
11:20 to 3:30
Almost 4 hours the broke in to
steal but left without anything.
So, why'd they come here?
If they were not here for money
or jewels then what could it be?
Sampath used to get regular calls
from that delivery company
The company must have contacted him
in either case, if he's dead or alive
I checked his phone logs and all
the company calls were web calls
Raadhi...
definitely someone else
came in before the thieves
Are web calls traceable?
Constable, looks like
the inspector is upset
He wants us to close the file but
not so easy to find the criminals!
- After all it's our job
- Drats
- Sir
- Yes?
I was travelling in his rickshaw,
a bike guy snatched away my mobile
Why were so careless?
Go file the complaint
with the writer
Please sit
Where are you coming from?
Where did the incident happen?
How many were there? 1 or 2?
Did you notice them?
Did you see their bike number?
Write down each and every detail
What's the case?
I was travelling in his rickshaw,
a bike guy snatched away my mobile
Locality?
Thiruvanmiyur
Okay, sit
- Where in Thiruvanmiyur?
- Rajagopalan street
Guys who broke in were petty thieves
They were trying to steal gadgets
like mobile, computer...
- Bharani
- Sir? Coming, sir
- We got the robbery case list, right?
- Yes, sir
- Get me that
- Okay, sir
Any update on the autopsy
report I asked for?
Around what time?
Confirm?
Well, the victim was my friend.
Hence...
Okay
J-6 station receiving, sir
Sir...
Professor committed suicide
- Reason?
- Don't know yet, sir
The calls she had with her girl students
were tapped and since it leaked...
Some files have been burnt down
The TV has been running
"What you have to do is....like
they expect something..."
"so to meet those need and get it done
successfully...college girls...."
"they expect something from
college girls like you"
"I am doing my.... Like I have
never stooped to this level ever"
"I can only tell you this much...
Like few things..."
"and I believe that you
too will understand it"
"So, they expect something from you"
Dinesh, check out this news
The PPT professor committed suicide
She lives in our locality
Back to back deaths under mysterious
condition. Are they murder or suicide?
Who leaked the professor's
call recordings?
Who gave the police the rights to expose
the details of the girl who spoke to her?
Does the situation demand a CBI
investigation? Who all will be exposed?
Like "murder for political benefit", is "murder
for power" starting to rise in Tami Nadu?
Today's show of "Let's talk politics"
continues with many such questions
Answer me this. Why do you keep
dragging CBI in to every silly thing?
The suicide was due to depression and
her ethics failing in her profession
The investigation is going smooth
Then why drag the CBI? Why
are you talking like crazy?
Does the opponent party
have nothing better to do?
Truth must be exposed so it can be either
CBI investigation or police investigation
I hold the government
responsible for the murders
No way!
There are some high profile people involved
as per the audio leaked
- Every murder has some high profile links
- Don't you add irrelevant names
We don't look at every such
incident as mere murders
It's all trash talk!
We look upon it as
the murder of democracy
All names mentioned in
those burnt files at the house...
...of professor who
committed suicide...
The complete truth must be out!
Dude...
I doubt Maari
He sent us to that house on that day
We found a dead guy
He came with a new
delivery address yesterday
And today a professor
is dead in that address
If we had taken up that
job the other day...
...we'd be buried six feet under by now!
Adhi...
I somehow feel we must
take police's help
No Raadhi
The had executed it so perfect
We can't crack it, no
matter how much we try
My friend, Vishnu, is an ethical hacker
How about we get his help?
All I hear is murder and suicide.
What's going on?
- What progress have you made?
- Sir, investigation is on
We'll nab the culprits soon
Yeah, the same old answer!
Too much pressure from the top management
Our locality has been the
hot topic for past 2 months
On top of that, don't
get me started on media
Fine, what's your progress?
Doesn't look like the usual gangsters.
Looks like some new, inexperienced guys
They murdered him, chickened out
and left the loot there itself
We only found petty electronic items
in their bags they left there
I've almost zeroed in on them.
We'll nab them
I'm just waiting for a small loop hole
Whatever it is, speed up.
I have a meeting today evening
Sure, sir
Let's go. Drive
Sir, our locality robbery
case file that you asked for
Sir, most of the accused
in this file are caught
There are few cased that
are yet to be solved
Few involve students, hence the case has
not been registered and left pending
Fine, get me those unsolved case files
Sir, no stolen goods are flowing
in the market like before
No idea where the stolen
good are now sold off
The market is not the
same like before, Bharani
Digital India. There are websites
online to sell stolen goods
There are apps competing
to sell such goods
- You may leave
- Okay, sir
Raadhi, see here.
There is a way
We have an option to poke
back the web callers
If we call back the web number from which we
received a call, they'll get a notification
They can call us when they notice it
- Call that number now
- Dinesh, do it
Yes! The notification is sent
So, if he calls back Sampath after he
notices this notification then its normal
Your theories could be wrong
But if he keeps quiet even
after seeing this notification...
then something is fishy
They we got ourselves a big problem
Sir....
Sir, a report of phones sold from
our locality, in ALX online
The contact numbers of many phones
we doubt match the ones in these
There are the contacts of
buyer and seller in it
The contact of a person
name 'Siddarth' is frequent
I have marked those, sir
Okay, sir
Hello
J-6 inspector, Chezian here
I need the complete details
of a contact number
Tell me, sir
"9840508677"
I'll collect the details
and email it to you, sir
Okay, I shall wait
Was it him you saw?
Sir! That's him!
Why is Nisha calling?
Hello
Adhi, cops just came and left the
college in search of you guys
Okay
The cops are looking for us
What?
Raadhi! Come here!
See, he has received
our poke messages
He is reading it
He has read it for sure
It true that we broke into that house
But, we didn't murder him
How is it that you broke in exactly
to the house where murder took place?
We did petty thefts for our survival
Gadgets like laptops and cell
phones of our college students
Whatever we loot like that, we sell
them in ALX or directly in the market
That's where we befriended Maari
He started giving us small delivery jobs
We did that as a part time job
Since he knew us well...
On the 23rd, he asked us to steal a
blue cover parcel from that house
But when we jumped into
that house that day...
the rear door of that
house was open
As soon as we broke in...
we first stole all that
was essential for us
Then moved to the next room
in search of that parcel
But, we saw a corpse there
We were shocked and escaped at once
And that's when that tea
shop guy noticed us
We called up Maari to
explain what had happened
He further scared us
Turn yourselves in if you guys want
I don't have any problem if you rat me out
You both are student.
So, think about it
When he said that...
we were scared to
approach the police
We saw the headlines next
morning and were shocked!
What else have you done?
Since that incident we
stopped everything
We tried to find the murderer
But we couldn't
We didn't have a proper plan
So we thought of escaping from here
That's when...
you caught us
Please, our life will be ruined, sir
Please, sir
Even last week...
we were offered Rs. 10,000 to steal
a pen drive from the same locality
We refused
Pen drive? Which locality?
Thiruvanmiyur, sir
Date?
Sir, March 23rd
That's when our exams got over
Are you sure about the date?
Confirm, sir
- The pen drive that we got from professor's house
- Yes, sir
- Bring that
- Okay, sir
Call him again
Again! Again!
He received this poke too.
He has noticed it
Call him again
He noticed this one too
He is definitely noticing it
all but there is no response
Then according to you he's definitely got
something to do with Sampath's murder
- Right time to inform the police
- Yeah. Okay
Sir, it's me, Dinesh
Can we speak. It's important
Dinesh, I'm busy with an important work.
Come to the station
Okay, sir
- Do you know Maari's house?
- Yes, sir
Do you think police would
take all these seriously?
I don't care. I am not resting
until I crack this, Raadhi
Raadhi!
He gave the parcel to Sampath on that day
Follow him!
Which one?
That rooftop
This is Maari's house. He must
be on his way from the market
Go fast! Go! Go!
Dinesh, stop!
Wait! Wait!
Raadhi, you go to the station.
I'll come
Fine, do keep me posted
Maari!
Dude, get him!
Arun...
Maari is done and dusted
Problem's no more
Okay
Sir...
In the middle of the road?
Se we have few doubts regarding the
accused in Sampath's murder case
Moreover, doesn't look like
those thieves murdered him
Someone else is involved
- What do you mean?
- Yes, sir
Let it remain confidential. Go down
and handle things. I'll follow
Okay, sir
Dinesh!
- Saba...
- Sir?
I had asked for the CCTV footage
from the deceased professor's house
On process, sir
- Get me that immediately
- Okay, sir
Sir...
- Selvam...
- Sir?
Need the complete call
history of this number
Okay, sir
Sir, mostly web calls and
there are also normal numbers
Get the id proofs of those numbers
Sir, normal numbers are quite
easily traceable but...
web calls....we can try
IP address?
We can nab the culprit
with IP address but...
if he's using it then definitely he'd
have used Poptax, Global phone, CG phone
Sure he'd have installed IP hacker
It's not like before. There are
many apps to make fake calls
So, it'd be quite tough, sir
Sir...
We can find the receiver's location
Superb Selvam!
Can you get a list of all the
web calls made in the city?
That'd be tough, sir because every
telemarketing call is made using web calls
- Can it be filtered?
- I can try, sir
Usual no one attends the spam calls
If attended, still the
calls won't last for long
Do one thing. Any web
calls above 5 minutes...
- Filter those alone
- Yes, sir
Sir...
the CCTV footage from
professor's house is here
Sir, the CCTV footage are
available on till March 22nd
All footage from 23rd is missing.
It's completely missing
To be exact, sine a week
before she committed suicide
March 22...
Sir...
can we locate Sampath's final location
before he came home the day he was murdered?
Sir, except from Meghna's locality,
everyone else are caught
Everyone has Maari's name on their lip
Sir, they belong to Maari's group
The are faking it saying they are
delivery boys and just went to deliver
Sir, we don't belong to Maari's group.
We went to him after seeing
an part time job poster
He'll give us the package and pay
us for delivering. That's it
Sir, we delivered all
that on Maari's orders
Why are you all quiet?
Speak up!
Sir, I'm a photographer
Sir, we both are engineering students
Sir, we had to pay our fees
hence the part time job
I am Maari's neighbour.
I work in a fast food outlet
He asks me to deliver packages
and then pays up. That's all
Sir, I'm looking for a job
Sir, I'm a cab driver
I drive a share auto rickshaw
At Avadi
You?
Sir, I am a mechanic
- Remember the addresses you delivered in?
- Yes, sir
If you just sing the same old "We just know
Maari and nothing else", no one is leaving here
You better speak up if
there is anything else
Sir, I was asked to visit the
police station for some inquiry
There was heavy traffic.
Also, I live at Neelangarai
You too belonged to Maari's group?
- Professor lived at Neelangarai, right?
- That bald fellow?
- Come here
- Sir...
Do you know college
professor, Meghna's house?
No, sir. I don't know whose address it is
Usually I'm asked to deliver the
parcel or some days to collect
I was paid well. That's all, sir
I befriended Maari at that
auto rickshaw stand over there
Sir I delivered in Palavakkam, Kottivakkam,
Neelangarai, Kovalam, Thiruvanmiyur etc.
Remember all those addresses?
I do, sir
- Sivaraman
- Sir...
Tail all the houses
they have delivered in
- I need all their updates within an hour
- Okay, sir
Saba...
- College all the CCTV footage of those
houses and hand it to Selvam - Okay, sir
Do you know him?
Tell me, Sivaraman
Sir, all those addresses point from
minister's farm house to Police IG's house
Sir, all the address are of powerful people
Most of them are politicians
Rest of them are government officers
Since all of these people
are very powerful...
CCTV are available
Out of all the houses delivered, the least
ranked is an assistant of executive magistrate
We inquired him but he
didn't have any answers
I shall bring him sir
Okay. Bring him.
I'll take care of it
Sir...
just a moment
Sir, this was Sampath's location,
an hour before he died
Based on that location, he was at the
professor's house to deliver something
But we don't have the CCTV footage from
that day to find out what happened
Sir, look...
someone has been following
all those delivery boys
He finds out if the package was delivered
successfully and is updating someone
I somehow feel that even Maari wasn't
aware that this guy was following them
Selvam, check if you find
a clear image of this guy
Forward his photo to all the local stations
We must nab him by tonight
I'll take care if any problem arises
Tell me, Aarmugam. Where
was the package from?
How much did you pay?
2 months ago.
One fine evening around 5...
I received a package
The package contained...
I had once made a deal and
got a bribe of 0.5 millions
The package had a pen drive containing
audio and video of the deal I had made
Right away I received a
call from an unknown number
When I attended it, I understood it
was them, who sent me the package
I told them I'd give them all of
the 0.5 million bribe I received
But they refused money
Instead they wanted a list of my
higher officials who earned more bribe
After that I monitored
and gave them the list
Fine, you may leave
Sir, it was a video of my boyfriend and I
I don't know how they got their hands on it
They started blackmailing
me with that video
I broke up with my boyfriend
but even after that...
they blackmailed me and made
me attended many parties
With some guys in party...I
was forced to...
Most of them were sons of big shots
Few of them were the
sons of some ministers
They let go of me but now they are torturing
those guys who spent time with me
They call me every now and then
I had did it only once
with my boyfriend...
but these guys made me...
We split the moment I got that package
It's been long since I got
a call from them
My life just got back on
track and is going smooth
Please, it won't be good if I
get involved in a case now
I paid them the ransom
they demanded
Please let me go
Minister sent me. It was his son
Please don't drag him into this case
now when the MP elections are around
Minister trying to win a seat for his son in
election. He'll be a central minister soon
That group was troubling him
and we have settled them
Tell us what we can do for you
and I'll ensure it's done
Tell me, Chezian
Do you see any loop hole
in their statement?
It could be one mysterious guy
or two or could be a gang
Every low ranked to senior most government
employees, business tycoons, VIPs, politicians...
all their illegal transactions, bribes
they collect and their affairs...
They collect all these details, place
cameras in their bedrooms and record them
Then they blackmail them for ransom
They are executing a crime
in a perfect way
When businessmen meet at big
hotels to make big deals...
using latest technology, for example
in boltnuts, bottles or sunglasses...
small cameras are installed
and videos are recorded
Tried to check if these culprits can be caught
in CCTV but they hack it and destroy it
The details up to the last PA of a minister,
his multiple phone numbers, his call logs...
They got every single details
One of their such victim was the
college professor Meghna Sundarajan
They blackmailed here with the audio of her
calls with her students and demanded ransom
She committed suicide realizing
it would be shameful if it leaks
Moreover, it wasn't those thieves who
committed that murder in Thiruvanmiyur
These guys did it
Sampath, who got murdered, was
one among these delivery boys
These delivery boys blindly deliver the
package without knowing any of it's details
They take the money and deliver the
package to the mentioned address
Knowing the risk if these details leak, they
murdered Sampath just like they murdered Maari
So, what do you
suggest we do now?
We are not sure how many lives
are lost because of these guys
So the only option is to nab them, get their
statement and finish them off in an Encounter
Then we will do it
We'll proceed, sir
Hello...
- Raadhi...
- What happened?
The CCTV footage at professor's house is missing
from since Sampath went their to deliver
Neither that professor nor
Sampath are alive now
Now, I doubt if it was really
Sampath's employer who killed him
Let's do it the same way
Police targeted the thieves,
we found these frauds
Now, the police is targetting these frauds
I'm sure there is someone
else above them!
In order to find Sampath's
murderer ...
