Dev Pratap Singh...

You are accused of

use of excessive force...

against the students of RM College

Do You agree?

- No Sir

I believe, in the situation

I did what I considered right

DCP Dev... the reason

for Your decision to use a firearm?

When I reached the college

with the police partY...

Down with Principal Dixit!

Down with Principal Dixit!

TheY had barricaded the principal

in his office

Long Live Students' Union!

- The police are here!

Stop the Police!

Block their path!

Did You trY to talk to the students

and resolve the situation?

Down! Down!

Down with the police

and the administration!

TheY were not willing

to listen to reason

We'll not budge from here!

Police... go back! Go back!

Did You follow procedure and fire

a warning shot in the air?

Do not take the Law into Your hands!

- What Law?!

We know the Law!

Go back...

and leave the law to our care

We know how to preserve the law

and where to keep it...

Want to see?

Here!

This is where we keep

Your precious Law

I felt an immediate and

decisive action was required

Did You know the student

was from the minoritY communitY?

No. For me a man

is guiltY or innocent

His being Muslim or Hindu would have

had no bearing on mY action

Because I believe the uniform

must be respected

A senior Officer cannot be

insulted publiclY in this manner

The AuthoritY of the force

must be upheld at anY cost

Otherwise, a hundred bullets

will not be enough to protect the Law

ReallY? I'm coming

HeY, no crYing

Here...

Welcome, mY little prince

Bharati, Dev... manY congrats

and thanks... for gifting me a son

He is in mY arms, so he is mine

You maY have alreadY thought of one,

but I will keep his name

HeY, careful...

think of a good one

It will be one from the heart

Armaan

Armaan...?

Armaan... it's nice

Armaan Pratap Singh...?

So be it

So Mr Armaan...

this tall minaret

before You...

You will call Papa, etc...

but me, You will call Uncle DaddY

What is this Uncle DaddY?

Don't confuse him alreadY.

- He won't be confused

Listen Mr Armaan, mY rank

is a bit higher than this papa

"What good is it

reading the Gita...?"

"What good is it

reading the Koran?"

"It's love..."

"that teaches

us about Him"

"In the hues of the beloved,

let me colour mY scarf"

Where're You coming from?

- From Baroda

Where're You going?

- Mumbai

Name?

- Farhaan

Farhaan what?

- Farhaan Ali

AnY luggage?

Check it

BY the waY, what were You doing

in Gujarat... I mean Baroda?

StudYing law

What is this?

- Letter

In Urdu?

Where is it from? Pakistan?

You have friends or relatives there?

The letter's from mY father in Mumbai

What if I did have someone

in Pakistan?

Then Farhaan 'MiYa' we would have

made You our guest...

and looked after You well

Just kidding

"I shall drape You, I shall

wear You, I shall laY You out"

"I shall sing with You

in mY breath"

"I am not going to

stop pursuing You"

FiftY bucks

AaliYa!

AaliYa!

HurrY up!

How long You take?

Farhaan is here

Greetings

Take a seat... please

I gave You the trouble

of coming here...

because the issue

is of utmost importance

We suspect...

religious fanaticism is being

perpetrated through Your 'Madarsas'

The students are being instigated

to violence against the countrY

This is a serious accusation

JCP Dev saheb

But what I saY is not unfounded

Don't You have teachers and students

from other countries in Your schools?

Sure we do...

but theY come under

education exchange programmes

Perhaps You are unaware that...

several people come here

on tourist visas...

and then conduct

anti-national propaganda here

Which is a serious offence

under the Foreigners Act

Go on... target us

People of other religions

have the right to do what theY want

But if we teach our children

about our religion...

culture and identitY,

it's a crime, right?

Mr Qureshi, I have before me

the issue of national securitY

Do not give it communal colour

Dev saheb, as a representative

of the minoritY communitY...

I will saY, Your words

reek of communal bias

It is a simple matter, Mr Latif

WhY are You dragging

minoritY politics into it?

I want three things from You.

One...

report to us full details

about anYone from abroad...

who joins Your schools

to teach or learn

Two, send us a full account...

of the funding sources

of Your organizations

Three, inform us at once...

if You come across anYone spreading

terror in the name of Your religion

Ali saheb...?

- Yes...

If that's what the government wants,

I think we should do our dutY

But I'd like to add something

Terrorism has to do with politics,

not with our religion...

or with anY other religion.

- Thank You

Dev saheb, with this attitude...

You have pointed a finger

at our entire communitY

Perhaps You have no idea

of the consequences

GoodbYe

- GoodbYe

Farhaan...?

- I'm here, father

When did You come?

- Around 10. Where were You?

The police summoned us.

- The police?

So now it is believed

that everY Urdu institution...

breeds fierce terrorists...

and everY Muslim is a traitor

to his countrY

What's so surprising

about it, father?

Our people have been

facing this bias for ages

Farhaan, unfortunatelY there

have been some cases like this

Look at the state of the countrY...

militancY at the borders

The air of insecuritY all over

The police have to be alert

TheY are just taking precautions
