'The Intellectual'
Good morning, sir
Good morning
Hi, dude
Good morning
my dear colleagues
I want to share a piece of news
which will make all of you happy
What is the happy news, sir?
Don't call me 'sir'
Call me, Madan
Okay, Madan
Let me come to the point
In Tamil Nadu including our channel
there are totally 48 TV channels
Last year according to the TRP rating
our channel was at the 48th place
But this year...
...because of your hard work
and my capable administration
...it is now in the 46th place
Our next target will be
to achieve the #1 place
Wait
Where are those 2 tickets?
They seem to be missing
Whom are you looking for, Madan?
I asked them to call me Madan
You are a mere office boy
You must address me
as 'sir' only, got it?
I meant that senior reporter Gautham
and out-of-focus camera man Senthil
They have gone
on official duty
But if you asked about them
I'm supposed to say I don't know
I am the CEO of this channel
I am myself jobless
Where could they have gone?
Gautham, camera 1 rolling
Camera 2 rolling
Ready?
3-2-1 rolling
'A popular pub in Chennai
has been involved in...'
'...prostitution and
drug trafficking'
'Therefore girls who are students
or working in software companies...'
'...who frequent this pub
are trapped into prostitution'
'Since this particular pub belongs to
a politician from the ruling party...'
'...the police force also
is hesitating to take action'
'Let us now watch
the corresponding video evidence'
'For Sky TV along with
camera man Senthil'
'...this is Gautham Ramalingam'
They look at us with disgust
if we say we are from SKY TV
Let this video be telecast
Sky is the limit for our
channel's Target Rating Point
The camera fell down!
Someone has seen
our camera, let's go
Let's scoot before we get caught
What are you looking at?
Is this your car key?
Thank God
Thank you so much
I was lookin-
Hey! Actually that's my car key
BMW 7 Series
On road 92 lakhs
Full maintenance free
I didn't even ask you
- 1 Tequila please
- 1 Shakila please
Don't embarrass me!
Both when touched
take you high
As far as I'm concerned
they are one and the same
Who are you?
Where are you working?
I am-
Actually I'm working
in a Multi-National Company
In Wipro
as a team leader
Take home Rs 1,20,000
I get extra daily allowance too
Daily allowance in a MNC?!
Are you also from
the same company?
No, I work-
He's a piece of junk
Reporter, slogs like a dog
Reporter?
From which channel?
I work-
Forget that
Where are you working?
I just finished my journalism course
in USA and landed here in India
I am joining as a reporter
in a small-time channel
There are illegal practices
happening in this pub
I am here to investigate
Look at that!
Which channel are you representing?
NDTV...?
CNN IBN?
TIMES NOW
You must be joking
He is from a local-
I don't get it
Actually I am in BBC
as a reporter
Wowwww!
1 champagne please
Yes, tell me
Really you work for BBC?
But you don't look it one bit
Are you saying he is working
in a two-bit channel and lying to you
Of course not
I didn't mean it that way
He looks really smart
'Hey! She has fallen
hook, line and sinker'
She won't be yours
come what may
- Why do you say that?
- She looks really classy
They will be very friendly
But won't even reveal their names

you'll show me heaven and disappear"
"Plain Jane, coins grimy
Notes crummy, sim card dummy"
"She got him snug
as a bug in a rug, whammy!"

Sorted the route, sketched the design"
"Hook, line and sinker
she caught him fine"
"She made butterflies flit
for my heart to beat erratic"
"She planted a beautiful flower
to bloom in my brain's chamber"
"She embedded her number
into my mobile forever"
"In a new state of drunken stupor
she made me float in mid air"
"My fingers five
sprout as wings to fly"
"My toes ten float around
no longer touching the ground"
"Ripped apart and hanging
Like a poster he's dangling"
"He has fallen flat for her on the floor
This dumbbell of a creature"
"She created a scene royally
to make a deep impact really"
"With knack she eased her way
willy-nilly into his heart to stay"
"My fingers five
sprout as wings to fly"
"My toes ten float around
no longer touching the ground"
"The screws in my head came apart"
"In your bovine eyes swirls my heart"
"To talk when you're nearby
the love within me explodes sky-high"
"My heart's teeth truly desire
in your eyes to chew with relish, dear"
'News'
'Good afternoon'
'News read by K.Ramalingam'
'Headlines'
'The Prime minister of India
is going on a 5 day-visit to-'
Sir, courier
Hey! Left...left
Right...right
Watch out, that monkey
might catch you
Don't disturb my game, ma
Let me play once
after you are done
Let's see
What are you doing there?
Can't you get the courier?
You are the one
who read that news
How can you watch it
over and over again?
We already got this
in WhatsApp last week
Ignore him
You continue
Sir, Gautham Ramalingam
My son
Thank you, sir
Whom is that courier for?
You were waiting
all along for this
Your son has got his
interview letter from BBC
Show me
Sooper, right?
Hey! What are you doing?
Wait
200, 300, 400
Not enough
Go and party with your friends
Hey! Wait
What's happening here?
Your son just got
called for an interview
You are both rejoicing
as if he has been appointed
I'm sure he'll get selected
You carry on-
Stop it
He already attended
2 interviews in BBC
What happened?
Both times he was rejected
3 is his lucky number
I have a strong feeling
he'll be selected this time
Didn't I tell you
your father will agree?
Why are you rambling
like a lunatic?
What is his qualification?
B.E. Computer Science
from Anna University
That too 82%
Your degree certificate is hanging
like a wall piece of no use to anyone
All his classmates
who studied Engineering...
...are earning 50,000-60,000 per month
Look at him
All he earns is 6,500 bucks
Come here
Take a look
Who is this?
My grandfather
In Swadesamitran newspaper
he was a well known reporter
What was the use?
Worthless till the end!
This is my father
Your grandfather
He was a newsreader
in All India Radio for 13 years
He was-
He didn't prosper either
And now me, your father
I'm a newsreader in
Podhigai TV for 27 years
He's also stagnating
like the rest of them
Exactly!
Now you know?
Not understanding
how I make ends meet
My life depends only on loans
and by circulating my salary
If your son should make
a name for himself...
...ask him to join
a software company
He can earn at least
Rs 50,000 per month
I am saying this
only for his goo-
I am advising you
crying my throat hoarse
Is this bloody job
so important to you?
You'll go down the drain
obsessing with this damn BBC
Let him go
I'll talk to him later
As usual got yelled
at full throttle, huh?
Start your bike
Sonny, 1 minute
Do you know the residence of
newsreader K.Ramalingam?
'He'll be butchered today!'
Don't know
Go, dude
I've visited his house long ago
I know he lives in this street
But I don't remember
the exact house
His nose will be long
and sharp like yours
This is his house
Oh! Thank you
1 minute
'How do I tell him?'
3 months ago, he eloped with
a teenager, a 13 year old girl
Don't tell anyone
that you know him!
You'll be tied to a lamp post
and beaten up black and blue
Be careful
Go, dude
Ramalingam, even if she was
a 40 or 50 year old lady...
...it's pardonable!
Aiyo! Not me
Come in
That was yo-
Yes, my son
Let's go in and talk
Your son, is it?
I thought you are
the same old Ramalingam!
Clip number 32, 36, 37, 42
should be in the 9 o'clock slot
Hi darling, this is Anu here
I feel like seeing you now
I want to pour
my heart out to you!
If you are free now,

Alone?

prominent reporters, right?
You are so lucky, you know?
I know, very lucky
First tell me the venue

But you have to pick me up
Just hold the line
for a minute
What is she saying?
I must pick her up it seems
That too all by myself
You are truly lucky
You didn't tell me the place
It's a real small-time channel
Will you be able to
find your way?
Just tell me the venue
I'll be there
in 5 minutes flat
Channel's name is Sky TV
Oh! Sky TV!
Sky TV is where-
Yes, what happened?
Where are you now?

to meet, madam?
Office boy...office boy

I want to meet
the channel CEO Mr Madan
He's in a meeting
Come back later
Hello, tell him Anu is here
You can't meet him
as and when you like
Can't meet him?
Why not?
Well said, you lion cub!
If it's very urgent

He's the only one free right now
Good lord! He is bringing her here
Escape...!
Where is the chief reporter?
Must be editing
- Is he free?
- Sitting jobless
Then follow me, madam
What are you doing?
Mind your business
Thinks he is a big shot!
She's right nearby
Senthil, what are you doing here?
Get lost! We're playing Dickylona
She has made us crawl on all fours!

Ages ago, he said I couldn't-
She just walked in, sir
Is that so?
Come in
'Escape'
Danger if we stay here
Let's escape

You shouldn't be so punctual
Let me introduce you to the CEO
Hey! No need, Anu
Come
I've been trying to
tell you from the begin-
I want to share a piece of news
which will make all of you happy
Shhhh...silence
A new reporter is
joining our team today
Welcome to our team, Miss Anu
Another surprise awaits you
Anu is no stranger
She's my one and only daughter
Daughter?
We are dead meat!
Thank you, pa
Thank you so much
I would like to introduce
someone here to all of you
Gautham
Hey Gautham!
Come up
She's calling you
You'll really prosper in life
Come
Go...go
He's also a reporter like us
But he works for
the BBC channel
As a senior reporter
We must also learn from him
as to how a reporter should be
'She's making an ass of me!'
Let's put our hands together
for Mr Gautham
'Looks like she has been
taken for a solid ride'
Is she mad or what?
Why this pin drop silence?
What's wrong, dad?
Why are you laughing?
You...?
That's right...me!
He's been working in
this channel for the past 2 years
He's an old-timer
You think we should
learn from him?
What's all this about?
Keep quiet, pa
You tricked me
saying you work for BBC
Anu, please wait
I liked you very much
That's why I lied
'You tricked me
saying you work for BBC'
'You call yourself a reporter?'
'Shame on you!'
'I know you have none of
the qualifications BBC requires'
'You'll go down the drain
obsessing with this damn BBC'
'Joining BBC as a reporter
is not only my ambition'
'It is my dad's dream!'
'Though my dad tried many times
he couldn't get into BBC'
'He might have lost'
'But I've got to
win for both of us'
'There may not be anyone
behind a person's victory'
'But there will be zillion failures'
'Only one who fears failure
will be afraid to try'
'I am not too sure if I'll get
into BBC this time'
'But I'll keep trying till I get it!'
Please come
Take your seat
Thanks
Mr Gautham, this opening
is for investigative journalism
It's all about how deeply you investigate
and how well you present the case
Mr Gautham
We have a case
for you to analyze
It's a case of a young lady
Her name is Irene
She was found dead
...having fallen from the 8th floor
of her apartment building
The door was locked
from the inside
There were no traces of any visitors
on the security cameras
Mr Gautham, you need to investigate
if this is a suicide or murder
And as a journalist how you'll present
this information in a sensational way
Sir, one more time please
One more time?
Is it an English film to watch again
and tell you the story?
It's an interview, man
You have a problem
with the language
That's why you are struggling
A girl fell down from the 8th floor
and was found dead
Main door was locked
from the inside
Security cameras show
no evidence of any intruder
As a journalist you need to
find out if it's a murder or a suicide
How are you going to present it
as a sensational news?
These South Indian reporters are not
capable of presenting in English
They can only tell you the gossip
on who delivered a baby, who is sleep-
Irene, the victim here
was found dead...
...jumping from the 8th floor
of the City Tower apartment
This however is assumed to be
a suicide by the City Police
But we do have a few clues to prove
this isn't a suicide but planned murder!
The victim here Irene
has freshly painted toenails
It is noticed that the toenails on her
right leg have been freshly painted
While on her left leg...
...only 3 of her toenails were
painted leaving 2 unpolished!
Also it is seen that the paint bottle is
left open on the table of her living room
Nobody would ever care to paint
their toenails before killing themselves
Reports also state that there were
no traces of any visitors at the apartment
But there are 2 cups of coffee
found on the table...
...which shows us that the victim
was not alone but had company
And this person is
assumed to be a friend
It's clearly seen that the doors
were locked on the inside...
...which clearly shows that
he or she was not just a friend
But more than a friend to her
All the security camera footages
have been erased
And most of all there were
absolutely no signs of struggle
Which brings us to the conclusion
that this is not a suicide
But a very well planned murder
This is Gautham Ramalingam for BBC news!
English is only a language, sir
Not knowledge!
That was surprisingly good
Of course
He was very sharp, sincere
I'm impressed
That was a brilliant presentation
Thank you, sir
Congrats, Gautham
Stop...stop...stop
Let me shake your hand
Our channel has been elevated
in the world's eyes thanks to you
If tomorrow in BBC they ask you
about your work experience...
...please mention our channel's name
You rock, dude
Sorry
Not knowing your ambition...
...I derided you
To be fair, I should be
the one to apologize
Will you come to
this channel hereafter?
I don't know
Why do you ask?
Just like that
Anyway...congrats!
Dude, when's the treat?
He wants a treat
For sure...a huuuge one!
"This dude, he was then single
Now he is done for as double!"
"He was like tea in a Nair's shop
Now cappuccino with cream on top"
"Till yesterday a local ordinary
Now with style extra-ordinary"
"Into her eyes teeny-weeny
she dragged me daringly"
"Into her heart so gigantic
she crammed me romantic"
"Aiyo alas dear me!
Shucks wow whoopee!!"
"She made me crumble like pieces of bread
She patched my jeans that was tattered"
"Soup boy cold shouldered was I
She turned me into a super boy"
"Crumpled my mind, she did
This she-demon she giggled"
"Hey hello hooray jolly!
Oh ooops ouch golly!!"
"Aiyo alas dear me!
Shucks wow whoopee!!"
"Your English and look hoity-toity
I go to another level, sweetie"
"When you talk Tanglish endearing
Tamil sounds sweet, my darling"
"Honeyed fruit treat
in my heart you taste so sweet"
"Liberated lad, my joy-bundle
On my cheeks you doodle"
"Hey! Life is short, why wait apart?
Now beating is my heart real fast"
"This country bumpkin is now tip top
Jeepers jeez what a hop!"
"Hey hello hooray jolly!
Oh ooops ouch golly, my girlie!!"
"Lifeline on your lips gone a-missing
Get your google-glass, I love messing"
"1 kiss on the touch screen glossing
another on your lips trespassing"
"Chilli soup, when I think of you
my taste buds crave anew"
"My sweet jaggery pastry dearie
I'll nibble you piecemeal daily"
"Hey! She is hot, sweet flavor
Life is set now a treat to savor"
"Aiyo alas dear me!
Shucks wow whoopee!!"
"Country bumpkin is now tip top
Jeepers jeez what a hop!"
Why are you looking
at me like that?
No...you've got huuge eyes
Big ears
Big nose
But tiny lips
Decent body
If I look at you
piecemeal...
...you're quite boring!
But if I look at you
as a whole piece...
...you are awesome
All beautiful girls will fall in love
only with uninteresting guys
Prove it
Okay
Usually no girl will
trust her boyfriend
But when we first met...
...you didn't know who I was
You believed all my lies
Do you know why?
Yes, I did...why?
You can get
anything from a girl
But not that easy
to get her phone number
But on that day
even before I asked...
...you volunteered
your phone number
Do you know why?
Yes, I did
Why?
That's what happens
at first sight
What happens?
Love
Nab him
Gautham
Take your hands off, sir
Sir, why are you arresting him?
Why are you arresting him
for no reason?
He has forged
his degree certificate
Fraud...!
Instead of arresting him...
...do you want me to
canoodle him like you do?
Get lost!
Sir...sir, please don't go inside
I'll lose my job
Who's Karthi here?
I am Karthi...why?
Bloody fraud...rascal!
Why are you hitting me, sir?
After dealing in forgery
pretending to be innocent
Drag him out
Just shut up and come
Where are you taking me, sir?
These are our employees
We have no one here
by your description
Here he is
Sir, one minute
Everyone is looking at me weirdly
He's the one
Sir, you can't go inside
Wait here, sir
Come man
I didn't do anything wrong
He's Mr Avinash
Tell me, sir
- Are you Avinash?
- Yes, it's me
I didn't do anything wrong, sir
Give me CI sir's copy
I am staying at Mandavelli hostel
I am working in
an IT company at Tharamani
Don't hit me, sir
Where have you
hidden the money?
Tell me
Where have you
stashed the cash?
Tell me now
How dare you retort!
Bloody mongrels...cheats!
Who the hell are you?
My name is Gautham
I am in no way connected
with this forgery
Then?
Sir, I'm a reporter
Which channel?
Sky TV
Gautham, be calm
Don't lose your cool
Can't register such complaints
based on your word
Don't know who he is
But he's sending me
obscene text messages
If you are a reporter
does it make you a big shot?
Why are you hitting him?
You have no rights to hit him
without any reason
Who are you?
I'm a lawyer
Here's my ID card
I'm Gautham's friend
- You?
- His father
Why have you arrested them?
Education loan forgery
These 5 frauds have cheated
the bank and taken education loans
Claiming to study in London
Cambridge University...
...they have submitted
fake documents to the bank
Individually all 5 of them
Plus at the same time
they have cheated 5 banks
It's not 1 or 2 bucks
130 million!
They've planned it to a T
I haven't taken any loan
from any bank till now
Hey, come here
When sir is talking
why are you interrupting?
What is your proof, sir?
Hey! Bring that over here
These are the documents
they submitted in the banks
These are duplicates which look
exactly like the original
Fake college admissions form
Fake school certificate
Fake degree certificate
Fake passport, visa, pan card,
voter's ID, ration card
Driving license inclusive
They have forged all this
and cheated 5 banks
My certificate
ID proof
My signature
All this is mine
That's why we arrested you
They had given false address in the bank
So we couldn't trace
or nab any of them
But 3 days ago for
a background verification...
...we got details about him
from the BBC channel
That was our nailing clue!
For the past 1 year...
...the background verification lists
in all the police stations in Chennai
...we've been collecting
That's how these boys got caught too
Please don't come to any conclusion
with just this paper as proof
Sir, whether a person
is alive or not
Educated or not
Has the right to vote or not
All these are decided based
only on this paper you just saw
Writer, lock them up after
filing the First Information Report
Please don't file a report, sir
Let the Court decide
I'll fall at your feet if need be
Only you can save my son
Go to Court
The verdict will be given
Help me, sir
Please...please, sir
If you file a report on him...
...then he won't get the BBC job
which has been his dream, sir
He is innocent, sir
Just don't file a-
Take your hands off me
How dare you grab our sir's hand?
How dare you hit my father?!
(scuffle)
Show him the police hit
(raised voices)
Save my son
'With the evidence on hand...'
'...it is evident these 5 offenders
have been hand in glove'
'They are guilty of this scam'
'Within the next 10 days,
this embezzled fund of 130 million...'
'...should be paid in Court,
as per the order of this Special Court'
'Failing which according to punishment
of criminal conspiracy section IPC 120 B'
'...they will be sentenced
to 1 year imprisonment'
'Further for cheating, according to
IPC section 417 and section 420...'
'...they will be imprisoned for 6 years '
'Serve prison sentence
for 7 years in total'
'In addition, in order to
prevent such crimes...'
'...this Special Court negates
their school and college certificates'
Please...please, sir
Sir, please listen to me
(overlap of raised queries)
No comments
Move aside
Without verification how they...
Stop the car
Our names will be flashed in the news
in all the TV channels very soon
After that not a single soul
will believe us
Sir, let me call my mother
So...?
If you can give me
your mobile-
Shut up!
I'll beat you to a pulp
My father is undergoing
a bypass surgery
My mother is waiting for
the money at the hospital
I must inform her, sir
Where do your parents live?
In Trichy
Do they know about your arrest?
No, sir
Give me your phone
Here
- Hello...?
- Hello, ma
Karthi...?
Karthi, where are you?
When will you come?'
How is father now?
We are waiting only for you
Were you able to
arrange the money?
Did you get the loan at work?
Ma...?
I don't think I can bring
the money for the surgery
You are throwing
a sudden bombshell
What happened?'
I've been arrested for forging
documents and cheating the bank, ma
The Court has cancelled
all my certificates
My life is in shambles, ma
What are you saying?
I can't understand any of this
Madam, when will you
pay up for the surgery?
For how long can we
postpone the operation?'
Is this some charity hall
to stay free of charge?'
I'm sure my son will come today
Listen, if you don't pay
the amount by tomorrow...
...chief doctor has given
instructions to discharge
Instead of giving us a hard time,
take him to a Govt hospital'
He's anyway
on the verge of dying
He has 1 step
in the graveyard
Karthi...?
How much you struggled to educate me
But I'm of no use to you now
Don't say such things, son
It makes no difference
whether I live or die
No use me being alive, ma
Who is on the phone, dear?
Is it Karthi?
Ask him to come soon
Don't know why?
I feel like seeing him
Why are you crying?
Why are you crying, dear?

'Fake passport, visa, pan card,
voter's ID, ration card'
'Driving license inclusive'
'This Special Court negates
their school and college certificates'
'Are your parents also

What happened to my son?
Oh my God!

the education loan forgery case'
'One of them jumped out
of the police van suddenly'
'He committed suicide
Died on the spot'
'This matter has now
blown out of proportion'
'The police have arrested
some of the bank officers'
'They are being interrogated now'
'Our men are also caught
in that enquiry'
'What do we do now, boss?'
Put only the education loans
on hold for a while
Dad, why should we stop for this?
Do as I say
Okay
'Following the chit fund
and credit card fraud...'
'...the education loan scam
has created a great uproar'
'Regarding this scam,
5 graduates were arrested'
'They were produced in
the Special Court this morning'
'On their way back from the court
to the police station...'
'...a young graduate named
Karthi from Trichy'
'...committed suicide by
jumping from the police van'
'Following this, the 4 young graduates
arrested along with Karthi...'
'...have been released now
on conditional bail'
'In this unprecedented scam...'
'...due to aspersions cast on bank officers
and educational authorities being involved'
'...the Police department has
arrested some of the officials'
'The suspects are being interrogated'
'Regarding the cancellation
of educational loans'
'...students all over Tamil Nadu
are protesting strongly'
No need BBC
Or anything of that sort
If my son is with me...
...that is more than enough
- Balaji
- Sir...?
Document of this house
Sell it at whatever price
you can get
Whatever can be sold
from this house...
...sell everything and
convert it to cash
Let's pay the amount
due in court first
Let us not stay
in this house any longer
We will go to a place
where no one recognizes us
How can you be so stupid?
If you sell everything...
...pay the court
and leave this place
...will all your problems be solved?
Nothing will be solved!
16 years of your son's education...
...has become nothing today
Court has stamped
his certificate as fake
To this world, your son and
an illiterate bum are one and the same
Nobody will employ him
Maybe he could
become a laborer
Within a week
submit all your documents
And you know that it is
an international television company
Without proper documents
we can do nothing!
Your graduation certificate is a must
Gautham
These are the case files
I've collected so far
Here, read it
In this case...
...don't think only you 5 got caught
2 years ago...
...4 boys in Trichy got caught
In the same way
3 boys from Madurai
And 2 from Coimbatore
We still don't know how many
invisible students are still around
Every single person
caught in this case...
...studied in different schools
They belong to different towns
Absolutely no similarities
among any of you
But there is 1 common factor
That is...
...fake certificate!
All the educational loans have been
taken using these fake certificates
Find out who is behind this
Don't think like a victim
Think like a reporter!
What happened?
The photos in the original certificate
...and the fake certificate we saw in
the police station are one and the same
Not only that
All the loan documents
have the same photo
Bloody rogues!
That means your certificate and photo...
...were both leaked out
by your college
No chance of certificates
in Govt colleges going out
Without coming out in some way
how can this be forged?
Sir, Anna university-
Balaji
I've used the same photo and certificate
somewhere else other than my college
Where?
Dot Consultancy
Anna Nagar
- Where?
- This building
It is locked
Madam...florist
This office is closed
They aren't working today?
It has been closed
for many days, sir
What are you doing?
I'm inquiring, right?
You broke the lock
I'm in uniform too
If someone questions us,
shouldn't we know what to say?
She's saying it has been
closed for a long time
But the lock is new
How come?
So without anyone's knowledge
someone has been coming here
Open the door
Watch your step
What's this?
This place looks huge
Search every nook and corner
Don't miss even a single paper
Searched every square inch here
Couldn't find even a single clue
I told you right then
Your certificate must have
leaked only from your college
Don't lose your cool
Gautham
What is this?
Someone else has
a certificate in your name
It looks exactly like the original
All are fake certificates
M.B.B.S certificate is also here
Gautham, look here
So many seals
M.G.R. Medical University
Anna University
Kamaraj University
Pondicherry University
All their seals are here
But to get loan from the bank
a certificate alone isn't enough
They will need
other documents too
But only certificates are here
This doesn't make sense
Don't you understand?
They haven't got just loans
like what we think
They are selling
these fake certificates
This gang is churning out
these fake certificates
Why should the seller
leave the certificates here?
Because all these are damaged
Look at these minor
printing mistakes
How can these be mistakes?
They aren't like the other gangs
They are thorough professionals
If my guess is right...
...in the name of consultancy
...they collect a student's original
details, certificates and photos
And print the fake certificates
to match the original certificate
What do you mean by match?
I don't get it
Okay, your name is Senthil
In Tamil Nadu alone, there are
52 Govt and private universities
Under these 52 universities
are approximately 2000 colleges
In these 2000 colleges at least 1 chap
named Senthil would have studied
So with this match they steal
the original certificate details
And print as a fake document
In 1 name, there are
many fake certificates
Look at those 2 certificates
The register numbers match
Same name
And the same degree
But the photos...
...are very different
All the certificates are ditto like this
What's the advantage of matching
the original certificate and selling?
No one will get caught
in the background verification
Both the buyers and the sellers
of the certificates are safe
Wretched fellows!
God knows how many quack doctors
are wandering around our country now
We must find this gang
and arrest them immediately
All the certificates
have photos attached, right?
We can nab them with that
Won't be able to trace them
with just their photos
Because who knows where they work,
in which office or in which city
We don't know who they are,
where they live, what they do
Zilch
But wherever they are...
...we don't have to find them
They will come looking for us
Why would they?
Let me explain
In Tamil Nadu there are totally
48 TV channels including ours
In these 48 channels,
we will know some reporters directly
Reporters they know, friends,
friends of friends
There is bound to be
at least 1 such person
Let's make use of them
Senthil, mail these details
to them immediately
Most importantly,
in all the channels...
...it should be telecast on the same day,
the same way without variation
Why at the same time?
Only then they won't be
able to find out who we are
Gautham
No need...this might have
some grave repercussions!
We are doing this
only for the problem to erupt
All that is fine
What is your content
for all the channels?
'In the raid conducted by
the special police force in Chennai...'
'...it has been found
fake certificate holders are working'
'...in Govt and private sectors'
'If you are aware of any detail
regarding any of the faces here...'
'...then please inform
the police department at once'

How many on the whole?
52, dad
But the Police department
didn't conduct any raid!
No one has filed any report either
This is fake news
We don't have to be scared of this
We should be scared
only if it's fake news
Is there any similarity
among these 52?
There isn't any common link at all
They belong to different departments
They haven't even
seen each other!
We are the only common factor
In Tamil Nadu we run
36 consultancies
From one of those branches
fake certificates have been pinched
Check which branch supplied this
to the TV channels?
All the certificates match
Anna Nagar branch in Chennai
So this branch is the source
for the 52 certificates
Dad, 1 minute
51, not 52
1 certificate doesn't match
Whose is that?
'Balaji'
'Age 28'
'Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar

'2006'
Tell me
Did you take my certificate
to telecast it?
'You'll land me in a mess'
No, I intend using you as bait
to catch the entire network
You are my trump card
Me...?
You couldn't get
anyone else, huh?
Don't do this
I am petrified
Trust me, I'll make sure
you don't get into any mess
Be ready
Name Balaji
Age 28
In 2009 he completed his masters
in Chennai Ambedkar Law college
There is someone else behind him
If we nab him
we can find the mastermind
Take him
Hey Gautham, like you said
I am outside my office
What should I do now?
Good
Don't get flustered
hearing my next step
They will kidnap you
in a short while from now
Kidnap?
How can you say it so casually?
Only if they kidnap you
I can follow you
And track their hideout
In 1 shot we can
catch the entire gang
Till I come out
they won't kidnap you
They will only follow you
What are you blabbering?
You aren't even here
How can you be so right?
To your left at a distance
of 30 feet is a blue building
He is one of them
In a grey shirt
20 feet behind you
is a chap wearing a red cap
To your left at a distance of
30 feet are 2 men on a bike
To your right is
a chap in a violet shirt
They are all following you
without your knowledge
Where are you now?
I'm also following you
I'm right opposite you
50 feet away in a red car
Okay, no problem
He's talking to someone
Then wait
But I'm sure about this
He is also waiting here
We will wait here
till he comes
If our plan should work out
they have to kidnap you
You would have hatched
some idea for that too?
Tell me
I'll do it
To your left, there's a chap
in a blue shirt, with a sling bag
Left side
Blue shirt?
Yes, I saw him
Go up to him
Talk to him till I give you
further instructions
How do I talk to
a random stranger?
At least if it's a girl,
it will be easy
I'll manage somehow
Hello, boss
How are you?
I am good
You...?
Looks like he knows him well
I have my own doubts
Wait till I tell you what to do
'I even attended your wedding'
'You don't remember?'
How is your wife?
I'm not even married
Give him your visiting card
Can you tell me
where this lawyer's office is?
I'm new to this area
Check Google map
and tell me then
He's giving him some paper
Something fishy
I'm telling you
I don't know
If you don't know it's fine
Because that lawyer
in this card is me!
Look at that building
That's for civil case
Criminal cases are dealt
in a totally different office
Those 2 lawyers
look after that office
Very sincere guys
These days divorce cases are
more rampant than criminal cases
I have a separate
branch for that, boss
He heads that branch
He is talking pointing to
our boys repeatedly
I'm 100% sure
he is our target
Put the card in his pocket
Move
Boss, call me
if you have any case
Service 24x7
Why are you telling me all this?
You'll understand shortly
He's walking away
Take him now
Did you find out who he is?
He's a courier, bro
Whaaat?!
He's taking us for a ride
Finish him off
You were right
Your plan has worked out
They are heading
towards me to kidnap me
Soooper, huh?
Slight change in their plan
'They don't intend kidnapping you'
What do you mean?
What is their plan?
They intend to kill you!
Whaaaat?
Are you serious?
They are closing in on me
What are you thinking?
Do something
Tell me...quick
Think of something
RUN!
Hey, stop!
Don't let him get away
GO
Drag him into the car
Start...move
I was against all this
from the beginning
You didn't listen to me
Now he is in their clutches
They will kill him
Shut up!
Bring him here
I just came home for lunch
I'll eat and get back, sir
We nabbed him, dad
Another chap
came to help him
Though he interfered
we got our man
No problem
Idiot!
You didn't kidnap him
He has made you
kidnap this man
You got the wrong man
He needs evidence
He will come in search
of you definitely
Before he comes
kill this man
Destroy all evidence
Okay, dad
Tie him up
Do it, now
Pile up all the files on him
Burn him along with the files
Let him reduce to ashes
Burn him
Come
Shall we get a drink?
I am dead tired

Thank God!
Now you can work in BBC
like you always wanted
Your problems are solved now
one way or the other
My problems will start only now
Balaji, don't come out
till I tell you
Especially do not use your phone
Why are you scaring me again?
This is a network
He's just the recipient
of a forward message
The sender is elsewhere
He will come in
search of us for sure
But we have to nab him
without his knowledge
The closer we get to him...
...without us knowing
he will be closing in on us
Before he finds out
who we are...
...we have to track him
Who is it?
Who is there?
Can't you hear me?
Cops have completely
checked this place
But there's no proof of
trespass by any outsider
Even in the forensic reports, no trace
of fingerprints in any of the systems
- It's very clear
- No...no
Our men were here
We should be able to
trace their fingerprints
Beyond that if it's clean...
...he has checked the system
Something is wrong
He has done something else here
We should find that out
Search
Stop
Move
Motion capture camera
180° motion sensor
50 frames per second
If anyone moves in front
of this camera...
...automatically it clicks
He has fixed it here
to track us down
Next he will come here
to pick it up
Let's wait
You got so late
and I was so scared
Everyone is waiting
for you in the office
You found the leader?
His photos-
Listen! There is a limit
to your media curiosity
Your parents, your future, your life
But more than all this...
...the news through which
your rating will escalate
The publicity your channel will get
Only this is priority, right?
The order of the day is
miscreants will be ignored
But the man who questions
will be squashed
All of you are
beyond redemption
I'm leaving
Just a minute
For our channel's publicity or
for T.R.P. rating to escalate...
...we didn't do this
You won't understand
even if I tell you
Please come with me
Why did you bring me here-
Details we have collected
about fake certificates
Who is this?
Dr Gurumurthy
Gurumurthy, M.B.B.S.,
F.R.C.S., M.D., Ph.D
He didn't study and
get all these degrees
They are fake certificates
with a price tag
8 years ago he started
a small clinic in Chennai
Today the same clinic has changed
into a multispecialty hospital!
Do you know
his annual turnover?
700 million
He has operated
more than 127 patients
Out of that 83 have died
8 among the casualties were children
13 pregnant ladies
Not only doctors
College professors
Railway engineers
Police officers
Health inspectors, bank officers,
aeronautical engineers
Pilots, military officers
Software engineers,
lawyers, civil engineers
In every department there are employees
involved in this fake certificate scam
Last year in India alone
because of fake civil engineers...
...147 buildings collapsed and
13,847 died, trapped under the debris
Every year 700000 students
graduate from a university
Out of that only 40%
of the students get jobs
The remaining 60%
are stranded on the road
I agree with what
you just now said
But...
...to find all of them
and arrest them
...isn't a cake walk!
We can't do anything unless
we have evidence against them
There's only one way
to finish all of them
Uproot and throw them
from the grass root level
The supplier of fake certificates
We must hunt him down
How...?
We missed him, right?
We didn't get
any clue about him
He has left us a clue
without even realizing
What clue?
Fake certificate
I'll create a fake certificate
in my own name
Each certificate will
have a register number
This number is unique
The same register number is
present in my original certificate
Whoever makes a fool-proof copy
...which no one is able to discern
the fake from the original certificate
He is the fraudster
we are looking for!
I'll find him
I will hunt down
the entire network
How are you?
No problems, right?
Why are you scaring me?
All I wanted was a broker
linked with this
Why did you call me
to the High court?
All criminals ultimately
have to come here
Lawyers here see all types of cases
And they are aware of
all the criminals too
We are meeting
one of them now
My dear boy
There are many brokers printing
fake certificates in the city
7 or 8 brokers
among them top the list
The one you're looking for
might be among the top 7
Or he could be someone
who is in touch with those 7
Name is DPI Murugan
Tell him I sent you
He will gladly oblige
All the best
The police team has
come in sharp at 3:24
The police officers have entered first
He has escaped
in a police jeep
Earlier too, the news was flashed
in all channels without filing a report
I feel he belongs to
the police department
If he is a cop, he will either
work to get a promotion
Or he will bend backwards for money
If it's for a post,
he would've appeared on TV
If lured by money,
he would have come to us
But this chap is unique
He is working for the society
If he isn't a cop, how can all channels
carry the same news on the same day?
An ordinary person cannot-
'If you are aware of any news
regarding any of the faces here...'
'...then please inform
the police department at once'
(News in various channels)
News is the common factor
Until now he has communicated
with us only through news
Either he must have some
influence in the media
Or he should be
working in the media
Maybe he's a reporter
But all the reporters have got
this news only through 1 person
Track down the reporters
who came that day
I will find out who
that 1-man army is!
I want to meet Murugan sir
- I am here, madam
- You have a visitor
I'm coming
What do you want?
I need a fake certificate
Get out!
Get out now
Sir, aren't you DPI Murugan?
You got my name right
But you came
to the wrong place
Wretched fellows have installed
CCTV cameras all over the office
Please don't get me wrong
So do you want
10th grade or 12th certificate?
I don't need a school certificate
I only need Engineering certificate
Will you pay me promptly?
We'll give you a fat lump
Give us the certificate first
Go to this Computer center
in Mylapore and refer my name
Here
'Metro Rail System in Chennai
is a huge hindrance to traffic'
'Total distance of 45 kms'
On November 17th
News about fake certificates
was telecast in your channel
Who was your source?
Tell me
Kalaignar TV Fathima
That's only I know
Kalaignar TV reporter Fathima
was the one who told Sun TV
You need a degree certificate
from which University?
Anna University
But that is a Govt College
It will cost you
Both of us will be
behind bars if verified
I'm willing to pay
Go to this place
and meet this person
He'll do the needful
Leave now
Tell me, Ee Ve Raa
Remember you asked me to
announce the 'fake certificates' scam
I was threatened at gun point
I had to tell him your name
Please be on your guard
Fathima...hello?
Thanthi TV reporter Vignesh
In what name do you
need the certificate?
R.Gautham
According to Govt specifications,
the degree certificate should be...
29.7 cms in length
and 21.5 cms in breadth
It should be printed
on TYVEK quality only
This is not TYVEK
NDTV Sowmya
Anna University, is it?
Mechanical, huh?
No, computer science, Engineering
Certificate should be
0.156mm thick
Every single word
in the certificate...
...should be printed in
special German ink
And this is not German ink
I am home safe and sound
Nothing to worry
From Jaya TV reporter Kapil
NDTV reporter Sowmya
got the information
Sir, lawyer Solomon
has sent them
Okay, you can go
Come with me
This is the certificate
from Anna University
And the mark sheets
Certain secret symbols in the certificate
can be read only under UV rays
In 2009 certificate, these words
won't be in this particular place
Tell me, Kapil
Hello Nisha
Some strangers are enquiring about
the November 17th 'fake certificates' news
I am sure they will come
in search of you too
This place is only for job orders
We have another venue
for certificates
Parsn Complex
Shop # 137
Name Baskar
This is shop # 137
Anu, wait here
Okay
Can I help you?
Baskar...?
You are...?
Employment officer
Annadurai sent me
- Abdul?
- Yes, bhai
Burma mansion matter
Take him to bhai
and finish the work
Hello Senthil, on Nov 17th
didn't you give me a fake news?
Some chap threatened me
and asked about my source
I was so terrified
I told him your name, Senthil
Senthil, what are you searching?
What are you looking for?
How did you get
so many certificates?
Show
Show me
And they all have
Gautham's photo too
Are you hiding
something from me?
Tell me the truth
You stay here
You alone come with me
- Wait in the car
- Come soon
Why are there so many
security cameras?
Completely Thura Sarkar's Mansion
Not a single soul can
enter without any link
- Sir
- 1 minute
Open the door
- Boss is there?
- 3rd floor
I think he is dangerous
What can we do now?
Simple
Before he comes here, we must
destroy all this evidence
Even if we get caught,
Gautham shouldn't
Only then this network
can be traced
- Security
- Sir
Don't let anybody in
till I instruct you
Close the main shutter immediately
Quick!
Come on...come on
It's still hot
I'm scared
Bro, Employment officer
Annadurai has sent him
He needs an Engineering certificate
Anna University
I'll handle it
You can go
See you, bhai
If it is any other college
my charges are Rs 400,000
Anna University means...
Rs 500,000
Is that okay?
Okay
Salim I'll go down
and get the certificates
Keep an eye on him
I'll kill you
if you sleep again
Always sleeping
like a pregnant woman
They must have escaped
knowing we are coming
Let's get out
They have left
I think we are safe
I can't give you a certificate
from Anna University
I can only give the University
where the name Gautham matches
I'll do my best
'Public Works Department
Electricity board'
'Revenue
Transport'
'List of all those involved in this scam
working in the Govt departments'
All printed in different places
Whose photo is this?
I don't know
Now tell me
Who is it?
This boy is really lucky
There is a boy with the same name
from the University he asked for
Super!
What is it?
The name matches
That's okay
But the date of birth
and surname match too
That may be some fluke
Doesn't seem like coincidence
Do you have his photo?
Here
Let me check
his original certificate
He is the same guy
What do we do now?
I must inform
my dad right now
Excuse me
Hello
Dad, a guy is here
asking for a fake certificate
And he already has
an original certificate
- What is his name?
- Gautham
Gautham
See if his name is on
the educational loan list
Send his photo immediately
Okay, pa
See if his name is on
the channel staff list
Matched, dad
His name has matched
- Where is he now?
- In our Mansion
Don't wait for me to come
Kill him
Okay, dad
Hey! Come here
He has stolen the hard disk
All the details are with him now
Bro, we searched everywhere
He has escaped
Anu...Anu
Excuse me
My friend came here
to collect a certificate
What's your friend's name?
Gautham
Where is he now?
He is calling
Anu, where are you?
She is in safe hands
But I don't need her
I need only you
Return the hard disk righ-
What happened, bro?
He cut the call
Spineless bugger!
He left his girl
and escaped
Forget him
We'll finish her off
No, please...!
Let me go
Are you both lovebirds?
I thought he'll save you like a hero
But he ran away
like a goddamn coward
Where is he now?
Tell me
If you don't
I'll blow your brain to bits
He is coming back here
Switch off all the lights
He should leave this place
only as a corpse
Sekar
Hey! Stop it
Stop it
Please...no
Come
The list of people they have sold
fake certificates to throughout India
List of people working in Govt
and private sectors in this scam
This hard disk has
all these details
These are the main brokers
and sub brokers in the city
The key pin is Thura Sarkar
He is from Burma
If we arrest him and
the brokers linked with him...
...we can catch all those
involved in this scam
This is a big network
Many Govt officers will be caught
How did we miss this?
How is such a huge network functioning
without our department's knowledge?
Because even our department has
fake certificate holders as employees
Half this list points to people in power
If this news leaks out
we will be crucified
I'll talk immediately
to the Commissioner
Tomorrow morning this will be
'Breaking news' in all the channels
Let's flush them out
'Viluppuram'
'Tanjore'
'Pudukkottai'
'Dindigul'
'Virudhunagar'
'Salem'
Hello!
Our list is with the police now
Tomorrow it will reach
the hands of the media
Only as long as it is with
the police, we can control it
Even if one name in the list
flashes in the news channel...
...we will all be behind bars
If we get caught
you'll be done for
He knows who we are
We should be safe
till we track this network
I've sent my mother and sister
to my uncle's house
I'll stay at my High court office, okay?
Dude, you won't mind
if I ask you something
Don't worry
The police will definitely get him
Not that
Not sure if I can get it
inside the High court
Shall we drink?
And today is your birthday
Withdrawal symptoms
Why will I even ask?
Cheers...!
Who is calling me now?
Anu is calling you, right?
How did you guess
without even seeing it?
All girls torture their boyfriends
only when they are drinking!
Wonder how they get to sniff it!
- Hello...?
- Gautham
Tell me, Anu
If you're free...
...shall we meet now?
She wants to know
if I can meet her?
Tell her you have
work pending
Anu, I have some important
work pending at the channel
I'm sure I'll be delayed
Shall we meet tomorrow?
My parents have gone to Tirupati
No one at home
I'm home alone
and scared stiff!
I thought I can ask you
to stay overnight here
It's okay
Carry on Gautham
Anu...Anu
Wait...wait
- What time should I come?
- Right away
- Why are you leaving now?
- Just for fun
For fun it seems
Anu, I'll be there
in 5 minutes
Bye
What did he say?
He agreed to come
He shouldn't know about
his surprise birthday party...
...until the last minute, okay?
Hey...!
We opened a bottle and
you're rushing to see a girl
I have an important
official work to attend to
I will definitely be delayed tonight
Let us meet tomorrow, okay?
Bye
On the 1st floor
is my dad's bedroom
All of you go hide there
before he arrives
Rest will be as planned, okay?
Coming, I swear!
Hi...come in
Anu, looks like
no one is at home?
I told you over the phone
Why are you asking
as if you doubt me?
When you are so open...
...why should I doubt you?
Hey...not here
Why?
Come up to the bedroom
Let's go there
Come
Come in
Don't feel shy
Do you know why
I asked you to come home?
Why?
I have a startling surprise
in store for you!
I should have
given it much earlier
It has been delayed now
But...
...it will be altogether
in a totally different level
What is he doing?
Hey! We shouldn't be
watching all this
But how long do we watch
all this only in a mobile?
Then we can watch
a free show right here
Don't you worry
When the lights go off...
...you'll understand everything
But until then
you have to wait...
- What happened to your clothes?
- I took them off long ago
Surprise me...!
- I'm waiting, baby
- No...no...no
What happened?
No...no...!
You are totally
in the wrong track
I didn't call you for
whatever you are thinking
You are dead meat!
Why are you pushin-
Why do I see
so many legs?
How can I handle so many
at the same time?
Won't that seem wrong?
Sorry girls

Hello...?
What happened, son?
Gautham, look at them
Balajiiii!
One day I'll be as famous as
Ram Jethmalani
Cheers!
'Don't do this
I am petrified'
'Trust me, I'll make sure
you don't get into any mess'
Did I bring you up
to see you in this condition?
'Because even our department has
fake certificate holders as employees'
'The order of the day is
miscreants will be ignored'
'But the man who questions
will be squashed'
'Don't think like a victim'
'Think like a reporter!'
How are your friends now?
Have you seen a police officer
beg for mercy just to live?
Have you seen him
scream his throat hoarse?
I witnessed it
You killed 2 of my boys
Those who are with you will die
one by one in the same way
The evidence you collected
with great difficulty...
...has come back to my hands
You can't do anything with
what you have as evidence
A police officer, a lawyer
and a local channel
This is your network
But mine is like an octopus
At least 1 of my men will be in every
Govt and private office all over the place
To save his skin
he has to save me!
Catch me if you can
Don't worry
Go to some police station
nearby and surrender
Automatically you will come to me
Hi guys!
As a reporter we have conveyed
different news to the people
But all that was for
our personal success
Or for our channel's
TRP rating to escalate
The news we will telecast now...
...will benefit every student
who passes out of college
Has a student completed
his college or not?
Is he capable or not?
A mere paper does not
determine this
It is our individual identity
But without our knowledge
a random rogue has stolen it
And is selling it to
some other scoundrel
His place is occupied by
one who is not even qualified
Because of this, an Engineering student
is earning a meager 5000 bucks
Behind each student
is a father's pain
A mother's dream
lies embedded
But making a fool of parents...
...they flourish as quack doctors
and fake engineers with ease
But even qualified officials
take bribes and are corrupt
Any which way you see
corruption is here to stay
Nobody is perfect
Because of this mindset...
...we took bribery
as a way of life
They are worse than
those who demand bribes
Those heartless people will
take bribes and only then work
But the quacks will take bribes and
not do their jobs perfectly either!
Because he doesn't know his job
There is only 1 way
to weed out such people
This scam should be exposed
to the people directly
Whoever is part of the scam
should be tracked down
Only we can do this
Tirupathi, you are
the right man for this job
For the time being
your name is Venkatesh
We will make everyone believe
a non-existent man exists
As a 4th grade school drop out...
...you'll go into his den,
asking for a fake medical certificate
What you should do in there...
...through this spy camera
...I'll guide you from
my van step by step
'In Govt and private sectors
all those who are not eligible...'
'...the entire list and
what position they hold now'
'...will be transferred
to my laptop in the van'
'Come what may...'
'...this news should be telecast'
Hello, bhai
This is the MBBS party
I told you over the phone
- What is your name?
- Venkatesh
Got any ID card on you?
Rs 800000 for MBBS
I have the cash with me, bro
Check his bag
He has brought the money
Baskar, you leave now
See you, bhai
Thanks, bro
Give me your photo and details
This is not the route
to Burma Mansion
He has changed his hideout
Sit here
I'll call you if I need
any clarifications
Tirupathi, fix your watch
in the corner of the room
'Switch the camera on'
Rolling, sir
Good!
Go in now
Locate the main server room
Hide...someone is coming
Got it
Now just do as I say
Here is whatever you asked
Certificates of
grades 10, 11, 12
Everything is intact
Check them if you like
We got all the evidence
we were looking for
Leave the place now
Thanks, sir
I owe you big time
Okay, contact me
if you need anything else
Bye, bro
Who are you?
He is known to me
I checked thoroughly
What is your name?
Don't be scared
Your fear will make him doubt you
My name is Venkatesh
Where are you working?
In Balaji Hospital
as a compounder
How long have you been there?
8 years
Tell me your hospital number
Hello, Balaji nursing home
How may I help you?
Balaji nursing home, sir
Can I talk to compounder Venkatesh?
He didn't come in today, sir
Can I take a message?
Can you give me
his mobile number?
1 minute, sir
'Get lost! God Himself is on our side!'
When did you plan all this?
Search him thoroughly
Check outside
if the coast is clear
If we get caught
Tirupathi is dead meat
Senthil, come back
Is anyone inside that car?
No
In that car?
- No one here
- Let's go back
Clear
Checked outside
No one is around
Give it to him
Can I leave, sir?
He's such a wuss
And you hit me for no reason
He was so bloody scared
he left his glasses behind
Call that boy
Why are you scrutinizing it?
Won't be more than 200 bucks
This isn't spectacles with power
Spy cam!
He has spotted our spy camera
Tirupathi, come out fast
Catch that fellow
Come on, come on
Come fast
Senthil, be ready
Hey you!
Stop there
Run...fast
Nab him

'We have solid proof about
a gang operating this scam'
'This gang has made the lives of
many students a big question mark'
'Many have been driven to suicide'
'These traitors who have nurtured
unqualified officers in every sector...'
'...thereby hindering
our country's development'
'...involved in this illegal-'
Lost the signal
Guys, what happened?
No signal
Drive straight to our channel
Thank God, they've come
Gautham, come soon
Come on
Run...run

'The whole country
has been shaken up...'
'...this mega
fake certificate scam'
'Many agents are being
arrested regarding this issue'
'Unqualified personnel holding high posts
in the Govt and private sectors...'
'Private as well as
Govt doctors, Engineers'
'Officers working abroad
Bank employees'
'School teachers and
college professors'
'Police officials'
'Based on a list
from all departments...'
'...holders of fake certificates are
being arrested all over the country'
'Even more shocking is the fact...'
'...death certificates have been
utilized to churn out fake certificates'
'Similarly fake sports quota certificates'
'...experience certificates, fake
documents and caste certificates'
'...forged checks and
many such forged Govt documents'
'...have been sold by this gang'
'Credit for apprehending the culprits
and bringing to light this major scam...'
'...goes to Gautham Ramalingam
a reporter in a private TV channel'
'...who has been honored by
the Police Director Mr Ashok Kumar'
You made it
'When the chief 'accused'
Thura Sarkar in this scam...'
'...was trying to destroy evidence'
'...he suffered a major head injury'
'Under tight security, he is being
treated in the Govt Hospital'
Because his cervical spine has
been damaged, he's now paralyzed
We call this condition quadriplegia
Please inform us at once if there is
any improvement in his condition
Yeah, sure
Criminals like him should be
produced in court and duly punished
Lives of so many students
have been ruined by him
It's a very special case
Give him Dexton injection
And keep monitoring him
Okay, doctor
Did I inject the wrong medicine?
I don't know
What happened?
What the hell did you do?
Pulse rate has decreased
Pupils are dilated
Sorry, doctor
What do you mean by 'sorry'?
5th case in this year
Prestige of our hospital
has gone down the drain
What did you administer?
Because of doctors like you...
...the whole medical fraternity
has a bad reputation
Did you study medicine? Or did you
land up here with a fake certificate?!
'2 people died because of
fake doctors treatment'
'Found out their fake certificates too'
