This is Tiwachi Harbor, in Pakistan.
One of the biggest harbors in Asia.
Their navy forces are very determined.
If anyone enters into their waters without permission…
they capture and bring them here, before putting them in jail.
Keep the bags down.
Here…
Go ahead for the medical examination.
-How many people? -Eight, sir.
-Have you checked their IDs? -Yes, sir.
Have you informed the police?
-They are on their way, sir. -Great.
Next.
Hand over your mobile phones!
Next.
TIWACHI POLICE
Sir!
Present them in the court.
Okay, sir.
Get them all into the van.
-Yasmin, stay here. -Okay.
Mom will go to the shop
-and come back soon. -Okay.
-Alright? -Yes.
TIWACHI POLICE
-Chencha… stop! -Chencha!
Chencha!
Hey, Joseph!
Mother!
-Mother! -Chencha!
Mother!
Yasmin!
Mother!
Yasmin!
Wait, don't cry!
Mother!
Yasmin!
-Yasmin! -Mother!
Mother!
Yasmin! My child!
Excuse me!
Everyone, fall in line!
Hey, you!
Keep your hands behind your head.
Two of them are missing, go find them! You, as well!
Hey, you! Come here.
Stand in the line!
Sir… sir, my friend is…
Silence!
Chencha!
Didn't you find Chenchaiah?
-It's not safe to stay here for long! -No.
-I didn't find him. -Get everyone into the van!
Come on, fast!
Get into the van! Quickly!
Get in!
What's the matter?
Your honor, they are all Indians.
And they have entered our territory of waters without permission.
Do you want to say anything?
Yes, sir, we are mere fishermen.
We didn't realize that we crossed the border.
Moreover, our boat's electronic equipment broke down…
that's why we drifted here.
-Forgive us and let us go, sir. -Please, sir.
Sir… this man tried to run away.
What?
Then how did he come here?
We found and caught him, sir.
No, sir! He is lying, sir.
My friend lost his way in the bomb blast, I was just trying to find him.
I still don't know anything about his whereabouts, sir.
His name's Chenchaiah.
If you could…
Sir…
There was a bomb blast while we were getting them here.
They can be anti-nationals, sir.
No, sir. We are not anti-nationals, sir.
We are mere fishermen from India.
Okay, show me your hands.
Hands?
Sir…
Look, officer.
They are hardworking laborers.
If you want to go, you may go.
Sir…
Don't worry, you are safe here.
Officer, let him go.
I…
Sir, I won't go alone.
I would go only with my friends.
Please let them go as well.
Can't you see, officer?
You claimed that this man tried to run, didn't you?
Don't levy false allegations on these innocent men.
Did our police or our navy trouble you?
No, sir.
-Did you check their IDs? -Yes, sir.
They are fishermen, not prisoners of war.
One more thing,
we must consider human rights as well.
Send them to Mandhi jail for now.
The higher-ups will decide what to do with them.
Also…
please inform the Ministry of External Affairs.
-Yes, sir! -You may go.
Listen, find the missing guy as soon as possible, and get him to jail as well.
Yes, sir.
Call them all out.
Call their names.
Nuragala Badiri.
-Imran. -Sir.
-Take them to the barracks. -Yes.
Sir, don't beat us. Sir…
-Spare us, sir! -Waste fellows! Lazy buggers!
-How dare you talk back! -Sir, it hurts! Sir! Sir!
-Saleem sir… -I won't repeat the mistake, sir!
New prisoners.
Where are you from?
From India.
Joga, when will they leave us?
How do I know?
Hey!
What are you whispering over there?
-Nothing, sir. -Nothing, sir.
Come here.
What is it?
When can we go out?
-Out? -Yes.
Don't worry, you'll be released soon.
Just…
twenty or thirty years more.
What say, Imran?
Stand upright.
Listen carefully…
As long as you are here,
what you eat, what you drink, whether you stand or sit…
or even to wipe your butt…
everything will happen on my command.
Got it?
Understood?
-Yes, sir. -Yes.
-Take them away. -Yes, sir.
-Leave me… Leave me… -Hey!
Get inside.
You'll receive all your belongings soon.
Get down quickly!
-Hey, turn off the light… come on! -Turn off the light!
Hurry up, let's go!
Walk carefully!
Thank God.
I hope nobody saw us!
Suresh, take these boxes and drop them off at Mukhalingam's house.
What?
Do I look like an idiot to you?
In this town, if anyone sees me now, I'll rot in prison for my whole life.
So, what's the plan now?
Should we leave this here and take it to uncle in the morning?
If this isn't there in the morning, he will kill us!
-Right! -Let's do one thing.
Oh, man!
What?
Hey!
These are expensive phones!
-Yes. -Yes.
Hey!
Tomorrow, make sure all of these reach Mukhalingam Uncle's house. Got it?
Hey!
Let's open up everything now.
Let's open it.
Don't beat us!
Sir, leave us, sir!
Make them kneel!
They are Indian anti-nationals.
Do you know them?
Speak up!
-Look carefully. -We don't know them, sir.
One of your men is missing.
Did he go to meet them?
We don't know them at all, sir.
Our friend is missing, sir.
-Chenchaiah is an innocent man, sir. -Stop lying!
Sir…
Why did you beat them?
We suspect they are anti-nationals.
You think every non-Pakistani civilian is an anti-national?
Did your senses stop working?
You beat them up like animals!
What's all this?
So many phones?
Did Chinna bring them?
If not him, who else would've done it?
These young boys from our town are all turning into thieves.
Why does one person need so many phones?
Hey, why did you take all of this?
What's all this, Chinna?
They're toy phones.
They don't seem to be.
If they're toy phones, why did you hide them there?
Why aren't you speaking up?
What are you looking at?
Answer her…
What are you up to, Chinna?
Answer me! I am asking you! Speak up!
You won't answer like this.
-Scoundrel… -Mom…
What are you doing? What's going on?
Running off to the sea in the middle of the night! What are you up to?
-Who told you about that? -I told her.
I saw you, so I told her.
If I find you involved in such activities again,
I'll personally hand you over to the police!
Leave… Leave…
-Hey! -Hey!
What is he up to?
Don't worry, I'll handle him.
I wonder who's making them do such things.
Why don't you talk to Mukhalingam Uncle once?
Why should we involve him in our family matters?
I'll manage.
Badiri…
They didn't even serve anything since morning.
Even the water pot is empty.
Just shut up and lie down.
You'll fall asleep.
We'll ask the guard when he comes this way.
Okay.
Brother…
-Brother, what happened? -Shut up!
Brother… brother, what happened?
He is dead.
He ended his life.
He couldn't see his family for ten years.
He gave up on the hope of ever getting out.
He is a dead man now.
Too bad…
His family won't even be able to see his last remains.
I understand clearly now!
We're all going to die here.
We'll die like dogs in a foreign land.
That Chenchaiah was lucky, he somehow escaped and survived.
What?
Can you verify once again?
You don't know?
Please check thoroughly, will you?
What?
It's stolen?
Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
Sir!
We received a call from the Pakistani Ministry.
Sir, the Pakistan Navy has caught eight of our fishermen
and they have been kept in Mandhi jail.
The details, sir.
Our people went 20 km into the Pakistan maritime border, sir.
It's clearly a mistake from our side.
There's one more thing, sir.
While they were being transported to jail, an incident occurred.
There was a bomb blast.
In the chaos, one of the fishermen escaped from the police and ran away.
Okay.
Call the harbor from where they started their journey
and collect all their details.
I have done that.
That fishing company says they are not responsible for those fishermen.
In fact, they claim their boats were stolen.
Escape?
They will never change.
Okay, inform the Indian Government immediately
and also release a press note about this incident.
Otherwise, these men will be charged with that bomb blast as well.
-Quick! -I'll do it right away, sir.
They are in great danger.
All the fishermen who started from Sangrol Port
and crossed the Pakistan maritime border have been…
Illegally crossed the maritime borders have been arrested.
We have received the news that these people have been sent to jail.
The fishermen are currently under Pakistan Army's custody.
Through initial inquiry,
it has been found out that all the fishermen
belong to Bhadrapatnam of Andhra Pradesh.
Pakistan's government has asked the Indian government
to send the details of all the fishermen
as soon as possible.
From this very spot at Sangrol Port, fishermen from Andhra,
specifically Bhadrapatnam, went out for fishing.
We've received reports that they were arrested
for entering Pakistan's territorial waters.
-They got caught? -I know.
Did the fishermen take unfit boats into the sea?
I hope we won't get dragged into this!
Was it a technical glitch or was it due to the storm that night?
Whatever the reasons may be--
I'll take care of it.
BHADRAPATNAM FISHERMEN CAUGHT IN PAKISTAN
How many people?
Eight people, sir.
Has the press arrived?
They're waiting downstairs, sir!
You go ahead. I'll come.
Okay, sir.
EIGHT FISHERMEN FROM BHADRAPATNAM WERE CAUGHT IN PAKISTAN
Mom, brother will return. Don't cry!
The eight fishermen who started from the Sangrol port
have crossed into Pakistan's maritime borders and due to this,
the Pakistani Navy has taken them into their custody.
The initial inquiry found that these eight fishermen
belong to the Bhadrapatnam district.
Until the inquiry is completed--
Wait, wait…
Don't cry.
From Bhadrapatnam, thousands of fishermen have migrated to Gujarat.
The news says only eight were caught, right?
They might not be our people.
Our government is trying hard to get back
all our fishermen who got caught in Pakistan.
Our CM will talk to the central government and ask the PM
to talk to the PM of Pakistan
and make sure we have the safe return of our fishermen.
I urge the fishermen's families to stay strong.
The government will support the families of those affected.
Sir! When will the fishermen come?
What did I say all this while, madam?
Please make a note.
Take it from your colleague.
Thank you, all.
Why is the collector coming now?
Can't you wait until she comes? They will let us know.
Madam.
This list consists of their names.
Whoever belongs to the names read by the collector, please come forward.
Addadi Jogarao.
Koppadi Srinu.
Rolu Paidayya.
Ambali Subbayya.
Paida Joseph.
These fishermen who migrated to Gujarat…
crossed the maritime border and ended up in Pakistan,
and are currently imprisoned there.
Madam, do you have any information about my husband Nanaji?
If his name isn't on the list, he wasn't caught.
Madam, yesterday on TV they said eight fishermen were caught.
Among them, three are from your neighboring village.
-Who are they? -Hey, stay out of it!
Why should we care about the people from the other village?
Poruballa Somaiah.
Kempe Chenchaiah.
Nuragala Badiri.
Here we go!
That Badiri fellow has also been caught, is it?
He must be the reason for everyone's fate!
Thought he would be our hurdle, but he got caught!
Now it seems you and Ganga have a clear path!
So, our enemy has been captured by our enemy state.
Why delay? Call the priest and fix the wedding date!
-Okay. -Don't worry.
We will bring all the captured fishermen back and hand them over to you.
Thank you.
Don't worry, everything will be fine. Okay?

Salaam alaikum!
-How lovely to see you again! -Me too.

Even I quit sugar.
Very good taste.

-Oh, very nice flavor. -Thank you.
Coming to the point…
Recently, some fishermen were caught and put in Mandhi Prison.
That's right. That's right. I got this information.
They are very simple and normal fishermen.
Even as per our records, they don't have any case against them.
Mr. Susheel, I agree with you.
But you are well aware that until the investigation gets completed…
I can't do anything.
Meanwhile,
you please forward these files to the PM's office.
PM's office?
Yes.
One of these people has escaped,
and he is still missing.
Until we find him,
we can't release any of them.
I hope he will be found soon.
Please advise your police department to be quick in their action.
I hope you will help us in this matter.
We'll take leave.
If God wills…
Come, please.
Come.
Please.
-May God be with you. -May God be with you.
-Thank you. -Please. -May God be with you.
