No talking to the media.

The autopsy and forensics details...

any evidence we get...

none of it is to be made public...

until this case is solved.

ls that clear?

l said, no talking to the media...

you can talk to me.

Alright, back to work.

Sir!

l'm Rakesh Rane.

Yes, Rane?

l don't think this case

will ever be solved...

it's an A-final case, sir.

l mean...

there have been similar accidents

on that road in the past few years.

All freak accidents...

put down as acts of providence...

all unexplained.

We didn't get any evidence, whatsoever.

Finally one mystery is cleared...

l know why so many officers

transfer out of this station.

How's it going?

What's up?

Madamji.

Shashi bhai, where did you flick...

l mean buy the belt from?

You again!

Where you off to, Nirmala?

My clients want young girls...

not old hags.

The rest of you... let's go.

- Today's clients have

flown in from Goa.

Don't listen to him.

You look really nice...

l know.

What's the matter, Shashi?

You look tense...

something bothering you?

- Hey!

- Open up!

Shashi...

What were you doing?

Nothing... just trying to rile you up.

Look at you...

guess l managed to!

- Shashi bhai, it's me... Tehmur.

Here's the new SlM card, Shashi bhai.

Take that in.

You changing your number?

You ask too many questions...

are you a lawyer?!

l'm off to my village for a few days.

That's your answer if anyone asks.

Now get lost!

- Take me with you.

- lt's a work-trip...

- not a vacation.

Once it's done,

l'll rush back to you.

But until then...

No one must know anything.

- But what was

Armaan doing on Seaface road?

Suri, stop being secretive...

give us the scoop.

lt was an accident.

That's it.

Pass the water, please.

You actually met Sonya Kapoor?

- ls she as beautiful in real life?

- lt is so sad.

He was so young... no?

- He shouldn't have died.

Young people die all the time...

but frankly no one--

Sorry.

Don't be silly...

you don't need to apologise to us.

How's she doing now?

She's better.

l've spoken to a psychiatrist...

Anjali Punjabi.

Yes, she is quite good.

Yeah, l think it will help Roshni--

Can l get you something?

No, thanks.

Go back.

Stop.

The car was in perfect condition.

- The power brakes were working fine.

He braked

here and then swerved...

and crashed through those steps

into the sea.

Seems like he was trying to

avoid hitting something...

but there was

nothing on the road.

He wasn't drunk either.

Yes, sir.

The reports don't show

any traces of alcohol or narcotics.

His lungs were filled with water.

- Cause of death is drowning.

- Sir...

it seems like one of those

A-final cases...

- none of it makes any sense.
