Dr Palekar wouldn't relent.
He was too f*****g honest.
So you killed him?
I didn't kill him.
I just...
Got him killed.
Good morning, Dipankar.
Good morning.
We have yesterday's TRP numbers.
And?
Off the charts, sir!
I got it double checked from the agency just to be sure.
The power of journalism.
9pm numbers aren't that great.
Check 8pm.
Rihana's slot.
She totally killed the suicide story.
The great Dipankar Sanyal finally has competition.
That too within Josh!
Look at this carefully.
Look at the black threads tied on the ankles of the Kadams.
Why did the family tie those black threads?
Why did the Kadam family feed black dogs every Saturday?
Did the Kadam family worship evil?
Did the Kadam family commit suicide to become immortal?
Did the Kadam family offer prayers to the devil the night before their deaths?
Keep watching to know more. I am Rihana Ahmed
a patriot to the core.
What were my instructions?
- Sir... - Praful!
Sir, your phone was unreachable so Meghna and Rihana...
She used to chase film stars with a mic
and print PR articles for peanuts. Is she a journalist to you?
You f*****g dumb or what?
Sorry, sir.
I will take the call for 8 pm hereafter.
In my absence, Praful will do it.
Clear?
- Is that clear? - Yes, sir.
Sir, how do we proceed with the Kadam family's suicide story?
Nothing. The story is dead.
On the Kadam family suicide story, I have a lead, Amina.
A fake sex video of Kadam's wife
was posted on his friend's Whatsapp group.
You think that's why Kadam...
Can't say, Amina. I'm still working on it.
Okay. Keep me posted.
Also, please avoid the mid day meal story fiasco.
Internally Awaaz Bharati and Awaaz Bharati Digital are separate
but the public doesn't know that.
And I don't want Awaaz Bharati to pay for Awaaz Bharati Digital's mistakes.
Understood?
Yes.
Excuse me.
- Hello Aminaji. - Yes, Rastogi. Sorry I was in a meeting.
- Tell me. - Dr Mansoor Alam
is a fast one.
I didn't get you.
He's writing a book Soil Foundation of India.
Okay.
Just imagine how much advance he was paid for it.
Around 200,000?
Madam, 2 million dollars.
- What? - Yes.
2 million means 16 crore for an academic book!
Give me the publication's name.
- Blackridge Publication. - Thank you, Rastogi.
All businesses suffered during the lockdown.
Kadam's salon Mahima Hairdressers
was completely shut down.
He tried running the shop.
He borrowed a loan to pay off the rent and his staff.
That loan killed him.
Who gave the loan?
Some Bank or moneylender?
Oh c'mon, sir. No banks lends money without paper work.
Demonetisation left most people bankrupt.
Then who gave him the loan?
Hold on, sir.
It was this app.
Turant Paisa is a short term money lending app.
If you need money urgently
download the app, upload your pan card's copy
and get the money in your account in 5 minutes.
What's the catch?
While granting the loan,
Turant Paisa gets automatic control of your phone.
Your photographs, contact list, everything.
- You mean like Operation Umbrella? - Even worse.
Turant Paisa is not a government company.
It's basically a blackmail and extortion racket.
Pure and simple.
Kadam borrowed 90,000 from Turant Paisa.
He repaid 2,50,000 in one year.
Even then executives of Turant Paisa
would call and threaten him every day.
Apparently he still owed them 10,000.
So why didn't he just block them? Throw away his phone?
- Yeah. - You can change your phone number
but not your friend circle and relatives.
Turant Paisa had Kadam's entire contact list.
- So Kadam's friends... - Got messages.
That Kadam is a fraud, a rapist, etc.
And then they even shared a morphed sex video of his wife
using the images on his phone.
That's why the family...
Sad!
Kamal and Amina are working on some huge story.
- So? - Do you know what the story is?
Do I look like Amina's secretary?
No, of course not.
I just meant we too should upload some thing today
especially after what happened yesterday.
Ajinkya Kadam wasn't a corrupt businessman like Nirav Shah or Vijay Shetty.
He was an honest common man.
And common man's reputation means everything to him.
Alas, money lender app Turant Paisa knew this only too well.
So, Turant Paisa attacked Kadam's reputation
and kept at it until the Kadam family perished.
Turant Paisa's greed for a few thousands
took 6 lives!
The police had Ajinkya's phone
that threatening messages from Turant Paisa.
Turant Paisa's business model is illegal
and violates the rules of RBI.
The police did nothing when it came to Nirav Shah and Vijay Shetty.
Let's see what the police does in Ajinkya Kadam's case.
I'm Amina Qureshi and you're watching Awaaz Bharati.
What strategy! Amina is a genius.
All hail Amina the great!
C'mon, Radha. Give it a break.
She used a human angle today.
I'm sure soon she'll expose Turant Paisa's funding
and government links too.
This is Kamal's story so I think you should just speak to him.
I'm sure he's aware of it.
All information about Turant Paisa and the CM is on public domain.
Your drink, sir.
Enjoy your drink.
Thank you.
Wow!
Sake worth 12,000!
It wasn't that great a story!
What are we celebrating by the way?
My divorce.
Nilu and I filed the papers yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I'm not sorry.
You always said I've gotten used to my lies.
Actually you were right.
I started by lying to Nilu.
When I told her the truth, I began lying to myself.
Anyway, I'm finally free of my lies.
I'm happy for you.
I want you to be happy for us.
There is no us, Pankaj.
I love you and I know you loved me...
I don't know.
But...
I mean we... I...
I just did what I did last time.
I didn't think right from wrong.
I can't repeat that.
I can't.
I need time.
Some days ago, the IT cell
spread fake news
that 7 years ago my father...
- What the f**k! - Radha Bhargav's father
was a Chinese agent.
She's drunk!
Some days ago, the IT cell
spread fake news
that 7 years ago my father
Radha Bhargava's father was a Chinese agent.
Today I'll tell you who was the real Chinese agent
and who is cheating the people of this state.
Who funds the Turant Paisa app?
Let me tell you about him.
His name is
Cixin... A difficult one... Cixin Liu.
Cixin Liu is a Chinese businessman
with deep links with the Chinese spy agency.
Cixin Liu is the one
our beloved CM loves sipping tea with.
Is this the reason why our dear CM
hasn't taken action against Turant Paisa yet?
Radha, you did a live show while drunk?
Are you crazy?
What have you done?
Kamal, I don't want to discuss this.
First Apparao, Vishnu and now Kadam!
How many people will you use for your agenda?
- Kamal, I said I don't want to discuss. - What are you doing?
I think it's best I leave.
What's happened to you, Radha? Just look at you!
There's no difference between you and Dipankar.
There is. Dipankar will lose
and I will win.
This will shatter everything, Amina.
Given Dipankar and Radha's agenda war,
news, objectivity and truth will suffer.
We'll tell the truth.
But who will listen to us?
You know the TRP numbers, right?
Ronnie may say otherwise
but how long will a channel get funds without viewers?
We'll be finished sooner or later.
But the truth will remain alive forever.
People may ignore the truth today
but they will acknowledge it in future.
They will remember us.
- What? - Nothing.
Nice melodramatic lines.
You'd be a famous actress had you joined films 20 years ago.
20 years ago?
No, I mean even now...
B*****d! Get out of my car.
C'mon!
- Mr Verma, pull over. - Get out of my car.
- Amina... - Go!
Keep an eye on him.
He's a journalist and it's his job to investigate.
What we do with the investigation is up to us.
Why are you standing?
Because my chair is occupied.
Dipankar, this chair is really comfortable.
If you ask me it's too comfortable for your position.
The CM has a 12% lead in the opinion poll.
Last year he was 14 points ahead.
And 18 before that. See the trend?
The electoral bonds case is gaining momentum.
The problem is that your CM lacks charisma and mass appeal.
He looks like a wimp and has corruption cases against him.
And yet he's leading simply because
Dipankar Sanyal is backing him.
Breaking news of the day.
This is a bad idea, Nandan. And you know that.
Targetting crypto funding can backfire.
I am a journalist not a magician.
I stopped expecting magic from you long ago.
If you can't handle journalism also
you don't deserve this chair.
Dipankar Sanyal, I want this story out.
Come to office right away.
Sorry, sir. Got stuck in traffic.
- The bridge... - You needn't come to office any more.
Sir?
It's not termination letter. These my old contacts.
Talk to them and track Somynona.
- Yes, sir. - Hurry up.
- Anuj. - Yes, sir.
- It's urgent. - Yes, sir.
Ceaser, Blackridge Publications.
They're based out of your country.
And they paid 20 million dollars to a guy called Mansoor Alam.
I want to know everything about this company and it's urgent.
- Possible? - Anything for you, Amina.
Thank you.
The CM has banned Turant Paisa app.
Will the opposition accusing the CM of dubious foreign relations
reveal their foreign links?
Which foreign power is funding Parchure
and anti-national media to attack the CM?
Yes, Pramod Parchure's party accepts campaign donation
through crypto currency from Saudi Arabia, England and Canada.
Who are these people who fear the CM?
Why do they want Pramod Parchure to be the CM?
What's the deal between them and Pramod Parchure?
I am Dipankar Sanyal and you're watching Josh 24/7
Now the question is...
These are pertinent questions.
Pramod Parchure has to answer these questions.
Like one of my fellow media person says,
it's all about the nation.
I am Amina Qureshi and you're watching Awaaz Bharati.
F*****g unbelievable!
Yesterday Kamal told me there's no difference between me and Dipankar.
I wonder what he'll say about Amina's story!
How does it matter?
It matters, Ronnie.
It very much matters.
Amina was my mentor and Kamal was my partner.
We've had disagreements before but...
W hen it came to the truth, we were united.
F**k unbelievable.
And now you feel you're alone?
Yes.
I am alone.
Look around you. Who is with me?
Amina and Kamal are confused, Radha.
They can't see the systems's injustice.
You can because you've experienced it all alone.
This is your battle, Radha.
Doesn't matter if others support or are against you.
You have to fight.
Yeah.
Juhi.
We could also...
Juhi, my cabin now.
Silence, all set.
Ready to go.
And roll camera.And...
And we are live.
Government backed media wants to know who's funding Pramod Parchure.
The answer is in this envelope.
The answer will be revealed when this envelope opens.
First, some questions from the people.
How much money did Nandan Balachandran
give the CM's party through electoral bonds?
In return for those funds, which government contracts
were given to Nandan Balachandran by the CM?
Very important questions.
People will take to the streets to get answers.
We all will
and stand by Pramod Parchure
to uphold 'Satyagraha'.
'Satyagraha'?
Radha is not even pretending to be a reporter any more.
Let's face it, Pankaj.
Radha Bhargava is now a partisan political activist.
And that envelope?
I can't believe it!
What's happening in Parchure's rally?
A crowd of 15,000 has gathered
demanding that unless the High Court to bans electoral bonds
they won't budge.
The electoral bonds will expose the CM.
Now Dipankar will start his own activism.
Electoral Bonds means white money.
But all of Parchure's dealings are with black money.
Just think! A hero like Dawood Ibrahim
won't stand in a bank's queue to buy electoral bonds!
Hence, Mr Parchure is staging a protest outside the High Court!
Just think! A hero like Dawood Ibrahim
won't stand in a bank's queue to buy electoral bonds!
What is this rubbish! It's utter nonsense.
People aren't opposing the electoral bonds but secrecy.
- What do you mean? - Let them open the electoral bonds.
Let's see who's keeping the CM's pockets filled
and which hero the CM is catering to!
Ridiculous!
- Cappuccino? - Yes please.
One cappuccino please.
Okay.
So, found something?
Everything.
Okay.
Are you sure?
Sure as death and taxes!
We haven't done anything in a week, Dipankar.
People from far and wide are joining Parchure's protest.
There was a crowd of 100,000 yesterday.
The CM and Parchure are running neck to neck in the opinion polls.
You know I really think that...
Nandan sir really thing we need to act now.
Sir, there's breaking news from Parchure's protest.
- What? - A pregnant woman died.
How?
She was headed to the hospital for delivery.
The ambulance was stuck in traffic for 2 hours.
Really?
Okay.
And the baby?
That too...
Oh!
That's really bad.
It's a sad story, sir.
I'll do it if you're uncomfortable.
Ambulance was stuck for two hours in traffic.
For two hours.
Parchureji was yelling,
the slogans.
I requested the protestors.
I pleaded them to let us go.
My wife's life was at risk.
My child might die.
But nobody paid any heed.
My child died.
Anti-national media and Parchure may label themselves at patriots
but the truth is they are murderers.
They killed a pregnant woman and her unborn child.
I think we have to call off this protest.
No, you won't do that.
Radha, we have to. This is a PR disaster.
The is not PR but a war.
We can't back down now.
But how? What happened today...
That has happened before as well.
The accident at Mr Parchure's rally was unfortunate.
But would it be seemly
to blame the people protesting here?
On 20th October 2022
Mritunjay Pandey died because of the CM's VIP movement.
Is the CM responsible for it? Why just the CM?
On 30th January 2006 Alok Das
12th February 2004 Trilok Puri
24th June 2003 Deghlal Yadav
They all died due to VIP movements.
Did the government kill them?
Nobody questioned the government then?
Why now? Think about it.
I am Radha Bhargava and you're watching Awaaz Bharati.
I'll check.
Hi. What a nice surprise!
Please come in.
Dad, look who's here. Amina ma'am.
Zeba.
Please come in. I'll get water.
You're here this late.
You should've confessed the truth last time.
I wouldn't have to spend on air fare today.
Right?
Dr Palekar wouldn't relent.
He was too f*****g...
Honest.
- So you killed him. - I didn't kill him.
- I just... - Got him killed, right?
Cheers.
Hats f****g off, Radha. How did you come up with that angle?
Do you know how many people were watching you?
- How many? - 200,000!
- Wow! - Yeah.
When I saw you speak
I was falling in love full on.
Falling?
I thought that happened in college already.
Well, that love was sexual.
This is a 100% cerebral.
I'm actually a little disappointed to hear that.
Amina.
Yes, Amina.
Radha, I've something to tell you.
If it's about today's story then I don't want to talk about it.
Which story?
Okay, tell me.
Radha, I'll land in Mumbai in 2 hours.
Aren't you in Mumbai?
I'll explain. I'll reach in 2 hours.
Please meet me at the airport. It's urgent. Okay?
Okay, I will but are you okay?
Hello?
Hey, where are you?
Delhi.
Again?
I have a boyfriend here you know!
Yeah right.
Seriously, Pankaj, I'll reach in 2 hours. Be at the airport please.
Why? Have you no boyfriend in Mumbai to call?
I'm speaking to him.
Wait!
That means...
I'll hang up the plane is taking off.
Okay? Bye see you.
Amina..
Everything okay?
Yeah, okay.
Things are perfect.
Yeah.
- Shall we? - Yeah let's go.
Anything else for you, ma'am?
- Thank you. - You're welcome, ma'am.
- Anything for you, sir? - I thing apple juice will work.
Sure.
- Sir. - Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Hey! Hi.
What brings you here?
Amina called and asked me to come here.
Really? Me too.
- The flight has landed. - Okay.
- Call her. - Yeah.
Ma'am!
Ma'am, the flight has landed.
