[bunniefuu]

Respected Mr. Jagdish Sahay,

I have revered Sarsi Police Station

as my work place.

And always

honoured the dignity of my uniform.

But in the past 3 months,

after witnessing all

that I have in this Police Station

along with the

antics of its employees,

I can't muster the courage

to continue this job.

Whether it's my

cowardice or conscience,

that's for you to decide,

But I've decided to quit this job.

Yours gratefully,

Sub-inspector Ravi Shankar Tripathi.

Yes, Mr. Yadav. I'm coming.

And I am coming only

to tender my resignation.

Please do hand

it over to Mr. Jagdish.

The girl's family has

sent a photograph for you.

Look. It arrived yesterday.

Did you see it?

Yes.

Liar! You didn't see it!

Saw it.

It's great.

When will you bring your

father's belongings?

Mom, what special

is going to be in it?

We'll find out once

you bring it, right?

It won't have

anything, except books.

Are you fond of reading books?

- Yes, I do.

- Really?

The girl is highly educated.

She was your father's student.

Once you get married, Me and

her will read those books together.

Why will such a girl marry me?

What?

She should marry

someone who is intelligent.

My son is no less!

Be it MBBS, Engineering, Civil Services,

you've studied it all.

Mom, I've told you so many times!

Don't say that.

It's a lie.

I prepared for all exams,

but couldn't get

through any of them.

My son has a

great job in the police.

Why won't she marry you?

Mom, the thing is,

Once she is here,

she'll pull me away.

- and you will be left alone.

- Shut up!

(She whispers inaudibly)

What?

Wish dad on his birthday

Why are you whispering?

Wish your father on his birthday.

As if he's listening.

Strange.

Happy birthday, father.

Your father left.

Your wife will pull you away.

You have already started planning

- to get rid of me.

- Mom, it was a joke.

It was a joke.

Have your food. I need to leave.

You leave.

Leave.

Greetings!

Welcome to Sarsi Police Station,

Macmohan Ganj.

Today, we've gathered

for a very important training.

This training will help

empower the police staff.

For organizing this event,

I'd like to thank Sarsi

Police Station wherein

this training is organised.

I also thank the SHO of

this Police Station, Jagdish Sahay.

I would like to now invite

Ms. Latika upon the stage.

Yadav!

Please come and proceed

with the program.

Welcome, Ms. Latika.

Greetings.

This training is

based on sensitivity.

Sensitivity.

Recently the head constable of Sarsi

Police Station

has come across a new case.

I want him to share

the details with us.

Mr. Yadav, please take the stage.

We received a case last night.

A man threw acid on a girl.

I went to the hospital to inquire,

but the girl didn't speak.

That's what happens

in a heinous gender crime.

Girls often don't speak out of fear.

No, ma'am.

Her lips are stuck to each other.

How will she speak?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes. Welcome.

The word that we are repeatedly

using throughout this training

is sensitivity.

Especially towards women.

Very often, girls are

scared to go to the police station

and file a report.

- What steps can we take for it?

- Even boys are afraid.

The first step is language.

One must not yell or

abuse in front of women.

Whenever we hurl abuses,

their fear increases.

Which Police Station are you from?

Yes! You!

Sir, Sarsi!

Mr. Jagdish

Your staff is arriving late!

- Sorry, sir.

- Sorry, sir.

- It won't happen again.

- It won't happen again.

Is this a joke!

Are we training to k*ll time?

Do you even have an idea

crimes against

women is on the rise!

What is your name?

Sir Ravi Shankar Tripathi.

Your station is negligent

towards women's safety.

Sarsi Police Station has recorded

112 cases of eve teasing

in the past 3 months!

Why?

Sir

At first, girls never

reported the cases.

Now-a-days, they do.

It's not the crime,

its reporting is on the rise.

Very good!

I'll send you to the Home Ministry.

Go tell them.

'Sir, women's safety

is our prime concern.'

'But we are just f*cking

around in training!'

Sorry.

Yadav Yadav.

What are you making me do?

I came to give you the resignation.

- Shukla, hold the ladder.

- Yes, sir.

Even after tending your resignation

you have to work for a month.

I'll give the letter.

I'm not running away.

I'll check Mr. Jagdish's mood

and give it to him.

Every 15 days, we have to clean

these filthy pigeon droppings!

Why are you lighting it today?

Everyone cheats

during the game daily.

Nothing is visible.

Go on, I'm holding the ladder.

It's just a 10-foot ladder.

Yes. Go on.

Give it.

Mr. Yadav

Get down!

- You climb.

- Sir?

Climb!

Yes, sir.

Mr. Yadav, hold it.

The ladder isn’t going anywhere!

Climb.

Hurry up! m*therf*cker!

Sir

- Climb!

- Sir, it's shaking

Yes, mom!

The girl's family

want the photograph back.

Just reply with a yes or no.

Are you climbing or not?

Answer me. Yes or not?

I don't know!

- Are you climbing or not?

- Yes.

Fine, I'll agree.

m*therf*cker, it's not even been

three months since you've joined

and you're already arriving late!

Two days ago, you went awol.

- Mr. Yadav, make him prepare tea only.

- Yes, sir.

Sir, it was the hospital.

Parul regained consciousness.

- Mr. Yadav, hold it.

- Yes.

Get down.

Get down!

Bring the report.

Will you get down

or should I call the fire brigade?

- No, sir. I'm getting down.

- Down!

Police officers, my foot.

Bhoop Singh!

Coming, sir!

- Show him how to climb.

- Sir.

Like this.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Doctor, what are you saying?

I've come here thrice already.

Sir, hear me out.

Try to understand.

Understand what?

What is it that you

want me to understand?

Inform us once she

regains conscious completely.

Sir,

she briefly regained consciousness.

However, by the time

we called you

Do you take the police for fools?

What do you mean briefly?

We have to take action,

statement has to be taken,

investigation is done.

Are we sitting idle?

Sir, we aren't sitting idle either.

We have many cases

of sick and wounded.

What are you implying?

You'll call us

if she briefly wakes up?

We'll come here like idiots

and go back.

Then come back again

when she wakes up briefly

Greetings, sir.

What is the matter, ma'am?

Don't disturb him.

He's a senior.

Save my daughter.

He's not a doctor.

He's a cop.

Tell the doctor.

What is your daughter's name?

Parul Chaturvedi.

You You mean

The acid attack victim, right?

Yes.

When she regains consciousness

inform Mr. Yadav immediately.

We'll be here.

Immediately.

She'll be fine.

You saved us 30 minutes.

You were the one

speaking to the doctor.

What?

'Conscience.'

'That's for you to decide.'

Is this a resignation

or a suicide note?

- What do you mean?

- I mean

During my tenure of three months,

I'm grateful for your

support and guidance.

But the antics since

the past three months

Will you it read softly?

Read softly.

Given that I can't muster

the courage to continue this job.

What are you doing?

Your emotions don't

matter to anyone here!

You cannot live in Rome

and fight with the Pope.

You're quitting the job,

but you're living in

this city, right?

Yeah. So?

Yeah. So?

- Hey!

- Nothing doing!

Write another one respectfully.

Mr. Yadav?

Mr. Yadav?

Be a hero on the job,

not while quitting.

This is the limit.

You're a strange man!

Are you alright?

Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry.

Sir used to sit here.

Yes.

It contains some books

and poems too.

There's a manuscript

with new poems.

I never missed Mr. Mani's class.

Not even one.

You were quite attached to dad.

- Yes.

- It's fine.

Look

I miss him too.

However, this is life.

You must move on.

Sir, you're mistaken.

I received news today

that my friend suffered an accident.

So, hence

No problem, sir.

Okay.

- I'll take your leave.

- Yeah.

Look. It's Dinkar’s poems.

He used to recite these.

Which poem was it?

It was always the same.

Moon and the poet.

Hey! There's a letter in this.

Dear Ravi, how are you.

I'm fine. The poets

convention in Allahabad went great.

I taught him how to

write an email 10 times,

but he still wrote a letter.

Add to it,

he didn't even send it.

Read what's next.

I hope your police

training is going well.

I know you're not fond of your job.

But there are only two ways.

Either quit your job

There you go.

That's why he didn't post it.

He knew it was bad advice.

Keep reading.

Mom, do you know

Just keep reading.

There are only two ways.

Either quit your job

And if you can't

then take my advice

as to how to fulfill your job.

The advice is written

in the form of a poem.

Read it.

Mom, it's the same poem he would recite.

Moon and the poet.

- Is anything written below?

- No.

I'm grateful to you

In these three months

I've learnt a lot from you

Then?

Sir, there's no witness.

And there's no report on who

admitted the girl to the hospital.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

When the girl

17-6!

Wow, sir!

She's been unconscious

upon her admittance, sir.

Why?

But she's

unable to talk once she's conscious.

- I told

- 18-6!

Yes.

Sir, I told her mother

'Look, we're from the

police department.'

- 'We are'

- 19-6.

We aren't from Sympathy Department

where we'll come to hospital

to sympathize with the family.'

Yes!

The police have loads of work.

- Great!

- Wow!

- 20-6!

- Amazing.

You loss.

- Hey, soldier!

- Yes, sir!

For how long will you lose?

Daily?

- Come on.

- Sir

Your turn.

Come on, quickly.

Start.

In the court.

Do you want to take

off your pants too?

(Indistinct chatter)

He's been bowled over!

- Game over!

- Over.

Game over.

Mr. Yadav, I would've come.

However, mom is a bit ill.

You were lying last night!

If I go to the hospital

Sir, the matter

is a bit serious here.

Come soon. Please.

This is your father's poem!

- Not 'Moon and the poet'.

- Okay, I'm coming.

Not now, mom. I've got

urgent work at the station.

I'll throw the resignation

on their faces!

Look at that.

Mr. Hero!

She's pregnant, sir!

Come, take a look.

It's a new case.

Sir.

- What is it, sir?

- Bhoop Singh

give him the details.

It's an MMS scandal.

Sir, I don't watch such content.

as*h*le, did you think

you've come here

to watch such videos?

Take off your glasses.

It's a new case.

It's the video.

Two days ago, you went awol, right?

You caused a mishap.

How can I do that

when I wasn't present?

Who else causes a mishap?

Who?

- Bhoop Singh

- Sir!

Who causes the mishap?

The one who resigns in advance.

Simple.

Mr Hero, shoulder

some responsibility.

Learn to sacrifice, soldier!

Save Yadav's job.

Sit in the car

and file the FIR!

Until you file at least one FIR

I won't let you resign.

It's not your father's school

where attendance

can be marked in proxy.

Yes, sir.

Did Mr. Yadav hit him as well?

No, he just scolded him.

Then how did Mr. Mishra

get in a fix?

He got out of his car and lost it.

Someone recorded

it and uploaded it on the internet.

But sir said it was an MMS.

That's Mr. Jadgish for you.

A lady delivered on the streets.

That was the video.

Hence they called it an MMS.

You will lodge this FIR, right?

Yes. Of course.

Darn you!

'How dare you!'

'The child is crying.'

'Shut up!'

'She is pregnant, sir.

- Quiet!'

'She is pregnant, sir!'

'Get out of here!'

'Come on.'

'Come on!'

VIP Home Minister PK Mishra

shamelessly beats up a common man.

Sir, whom should we

file the FIR against?

Sir, do it against the Internet.

How can you lodge an FIR

against the Internet?

Sir, it's a website.

Desi Rebel they say.

Who is Desi Rebel?

File an FIR against him. Sit down.

Sir, this is fake name.

How can I lodge an FIR against it?

Ravi Shankar Tripathi.

- Yes, sir.

- Get up.

You be seated.

Wasn't it your duty that day?

Yes, sir.

Where were you that day?

Sir, I was terrible ill that day.

Rascal!

There's been

a ruckus at your station

and you're sitting idle

at home!

Find him.

Find him or else it'll be

your mom's MMS on the Internet next!

- Sir

- Mr Hero

The Minister had called.

Are you enjoying on the job?

Yes, sir.

Idiot!

Without seeing the video,

you went to file the FIR.

In a way, it's good.

You got some

practice in filing an FIR.

Now, reach the hospital and get the

girl's statement.

She has regained consciousness.

This way, sir.

She is awake.

She was unconscious

since two days.

She regained

conscious after 51 hours.

However

She is still unable to talk.

The poor girl's in a lot of pain.

Sorry, sir. Actually

Today was a bit much.

Now

Please don't be upset, sir.

I told Mr. Jadgish

- to make your task easier.

- Forget about it.

The entire family

is crying profusely.

The mother is

This way, sir.

Sir?

Sir?

You are not well, sir.

You leave.

I'll manage.

Please.

Don't worry.

I will take care.

'Dear Ravi

I know that

you're not interested

in being a cop.'

'Hence, in order to inspire you

I am writing a poem.'

Just let the papers flutter,

And sign them with a stutter,

Sip on your tea, smile and mutter,

The mandatory government slogan -

'Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.'

Walk on your knees; be safe

Follow the instructions; behave

When asked to lie just cave

You get nothing

for getting crucified

Don't be a fool, don't be a brave

Use the pain of

your blisters to stay

away from duty every other day.

Tell stories to stars if you may

Of the shackles in your costume

That you sway

And as you

get bored, Just sleep away.

But if the mandatory slogans

burn your blisters..

And if your signature stutter

causes a nightly rift with stars.

And walking on knees

Starts to bother

then melt the shackles

of that costume

and forge a sword.

f*ck the world!

Get ready to get crucified.
