00:00How are you, Papa?
00:05Still stubborn, like you.
00:18So?
00:23Article 370.
00:25I thought PM was busy stabilizing the valley.
00:55What about State Assembly?
00:58As far as I know, there is no such plan.
01:01And believe me, State Assembly is the only option.
01:05If we don't have a constituent assembly,
01:07where will we get the consent?
01:09There must be a loophole.
01:11We can transfer the powers of the constituent assembly to someone else.
01:16What about State Assembly?
01:19As far as I know, there is no such plan.
01:23And believe me, State Assembly has been transferred the powers.
01:27Even then, which political party in Kashmir will support it?
01:33Will your coalition partner, Parveena Andrabi Sahiba, support it?
01:42Look, it is not possible for any local party in Kashmir to get consent.
01:49Now, as far as not passing a new law from Delhi is concerned,
01:53understand one thing.
01:55For the past 70 years,
01:57a poison has been mixed in the minds of the people of Kashmir.
02:02By linking Article 370 to religion.
02:07By linking it in such a way that if Article 370 is removed,
02:12then your Islam will be snatched from you.
02:17You won't even be able to pray five times a day.
02:20All mosques will become temples.
02:23People of other religions will kidnap your daughters and sisters.
02:41Ma'am, NIA in Kashmir?
02:44ID and police will raise their hands.
02:46Kashmir is their turf, ma'am.
02:48We don't think they will accept any other agency.
02:51Look, I understand your hesitation.
02:55The PM is very clear.
02:57What happened after Burhan should not happen again.
03:01And for that, we have decided that the National Investigation Agency
03:05will be the apex body for all terror-related cases in Kashmir from now on.
03:10We need the best intelligence officers with on-ground expertise in Kashmir.
03:14The nation's best financial experts, lawyers, CRPF, J&K police.
03:21And a little more sugar in this coffee.
03:23Correct, ma'am.
03:24If there's nothing else, let's get back to work.
03:26Ma'am.
03:29Yesterday's on-ground report from Kashmir.
03:40KASHMIR
04:11Delhi.
04:14Welcome to Delhi, sir.
04:16Our entire team is at your service, sir.
04:18Welcome to Delhi in such hot weather.
04:21Wow, Kashmiri.
04:23Mr. Qureshi.
04:24I see.
04:27You're the security in-charge from Delhi ID, right?
04:29Yes.
04:32I'm Mohsin, PA.
04:36Mr. Jalal will go to the hotel first, then the PM.
04:41I've seen you before. I remember you.
04:50You must have seen the reports.
04:52It is a complete mess.
04:54You should have negotiated with Burhan.
04:58Like the central government did with Mastgul in the 90s.
05:02But your agencies do such a big operation without informing us.
05:07This cannot go on.
05:09I will make it clear to the Prime Minister.
05:11I will not be a puppet CM.
05:13Mr. Andhrabi.
05:14The past is in the past.
05:16The PM wants to focus on the future of Kashmir.
05:19What about the present?
05:21Do you think sitting in Delhi...
05:24We're meeting at the Western Court.
05:26Yes, of course. For sure.
05:28Okay, bye.
05:29Sorry, sorry.
05:30I got stuck in traffic on my way back from the airport.
05:32I'm not used to travelling without a red light.
05:37Oh.
05:38You're here too.
05:40That's why I'm wondering why there's so much peace in Kashmir today.
05:44Yes.
05:45Your speech has created a lot of peace.
05:48Right?
05:50You must be feeling like giving a speech too.
05:54But because of you...
05:56Neither is she able to give a speech, nor a statement.
06:02Don't mind.
06:05Don't mind.
06:07Ms. Rajeshwari.
06:08Yes.
06:09I think we should start track-two diplomacy with Pakistan again.
06:17I will personally lead the delegation.
06:20Of course.
06:22It's been a long time since you had Islamabad Nihari.
06:26Okay.
06:32Mr. Jalal, Mr. Andrabi.
06:34The PM is ready.
06:35Let's go.
06:36Okay.
06:37So, please remember what I said.
06:40Yes.
06:52What did you say your name was?
06:54Zuni.
06:57Haqsir.
07:01Zuni Haqsir?
07:03You're not, by any chance,
07:06the daughter of our Jain banker, Kabir Haqsir.
07:10Are you?
07:18Very sad, what happened.
07:22He was a good man, your father.
07:25You know,
07:27I feel that for any small or big problem in life,
07:31suicide is never the answer.
07:39It's good you came here.
07:43India is a safe place for you.
07:46There, in Kashmir,
07:49whatever happens,
07:52no one knows.
07:56All right?
08:20India is a safe place for you.
08:22There, in Kashmir,
08:24whatever happens,
08:26no one knows.
08:49India is a safe place for you.
09:20Hi, Zuni.
09:28Thank you.
09:29You're welcome.
09:33Why Mumbai?
09:34I applied for a few jobs.
09:36Hopefully, I'll be able to put my economics degree to use.
09:44Don't you miss home?
09:45Family, friends?
09:47Don't you miss home?
09:48Family, friends?
09:50Ma'am,
09:52if you don't mind,
09:54why are you here?
09:56To give you a chance to go home.
10:00It's a very important assignment,
10:02and I want you to go back to Kashmir.
10:07No, ma'am.
10:09With due respect,
10:13I'm done.
10:14Zuni, I'm not sending you to work under a cover.
10:19You will be joining the NIA.
10:21You don't need to report to the police,
10:23the ID, or the local government.
10:26You will be given a free hand in the NIA.
10:28You will report directly to me.
10:30You will lead your own team,
10:32whose first objective
10:34is to reduce violence in the valley and bring stability there.
10:39Forgive me for being so blunt, ma'am.
10:41Forgive me for being so blunt, ma'am.
10:42Forgive me for being so blunt, ma'am.
10:43But whether you send me from the NIA,
10:45from the ID,
10:47or as the CM of Kashmir,
10:50it will make no difference.
10:55Terrorism is a business.
10:57Terrorism is a business.
11:00It has nothing to do with the drama of freedom.
11:04But it has everything to do with money.
11:06But it has everything to do with money.
11:09If America gives Pakistan billions of rupees
11:11to catch Bin Laden,
11:13Pakistan will pretend to look for him.
11:15It won't get him caught.
11:17So that his funding continues.
11:19The same situation is in the valley.
11:21Out of 29 states,
11:23Kashmir gets maximum funding from the center
11:25so that there is peace and development.
11:28But the top politicians, corrupt bureaucrats,
11:30and big businessmen
11:32have been taking advantage of Kashmir's conflict economy
11:34for years.
11:37They will pretend to achieve peace,
11:39but they won't let it happen.
11:42And because of Article 370,
11:44almost every institution is controlled by them.
11:47No matter how much evidence you collect,
11:49how many cases you file,
11:51none of the special status holders
11:53will be allowed to go to jail.
11:57They have made the entire society a hostage.
12:01I had a schoolmate, Shivam Kumar,
12:03who was a student topper throughout.
12:05Do you know what he is doing today?
12:08He is a cleaner in Haba Kadal.
12:11Because Article 370
12:13doesn't give a scheduled caste a provision
12:15to do a government job.
12:17If a Kashmiri girl marries a non-Kashmiri by mistake,
12:19her property is snatched from her.
12:23And let the Pandits have their rights.
12:28Why do the children of the poor
12:30raise slogans of freedom?
12:32Salauddin, Parvinab, Yakub Sheikh,
12:34the dead ex-terrorists.
12:36They are studying in a top school,
12:38with a top degree, sitting on the top post.
12:42I'm sorry, ma'am, but corruption
12:44has already spread in their blood.
12:46It's impossible to clean it now.
12:51No matter how hard we try,
12:53as long as they have special status,
12:55we can't even touch them.
12:58And they won't let us touch Article 370.
13:03Kashmir is a...
13:06lost case, ma'am.
13:10You should forget about it.
13:25Just out of curiosity,
13:28if you have to go through the Burhan operation again,
13:31what would you do?
13:36I wouldn't return his body, ma'am.
13:44Wait till June.
14:01Come on, let's go.
14:08Breaking news.
14:11The Prime Minister and Party President,
14:13Madhav Patel, have just announced
14:15that because of political differences,
14:17they are withdrawing their support
14:19from the coalition government
14:21of Jammu Kashmir's Chief Minister, Parvina Andrabi.
14:24For the past few weeks,
14:26the sources of both parties
14:28have been denying this possibility.
14:30As you may remember,
14:32I predicted this on my 9pm primetime show.
14:46Zuni, from this evening,
14:48Kashmir will be under the Governor's rule.
14:50Neither Jalalpaur nor Andrabi can enter.
14:53I know this situation isn't ideal,
14:55but it's just the beginning.
14:57Get ready.
14:58The rest of the NIA team is waiting here.
15:03Ma'am, I have a request.
15:06I need two more people in the team.
15:08Okay.
15:09Send me the details.
15:10I'll see you tomorrow at 8am sharp.
15:12And keep a brief ready for the team.
15:28Jammu Kashmir
15:58Kashmir
16:29And, as per your special request,
16:31your team.
16:35Wow.
16:36Special request.
16:38It feels like I have walked into a trap.
16:42Right.
16:43Let's get down to business.
16:45After demonetization,
16:47ISI's cross-border funding was hit hard.
16:50Violence had gone down considerably.
16:52But now, suddenly, it's on the rise.
16:54Yakub Sheikh's network has grown faster than ever before.
16:57But, we've had a breakthrough on our end recently.
17:01Listen.
17:03Last week, there was a stone-pelting incident in Anantnag
17:06where the miners were distributed cash.
17:09The investigation trail led to a mall
17:11which the security forces used to interrogate.
17:17Shamsher Abdali.
17:19I think this is the main source of their funding.
17:25He's one of the biggest dry-food traders in Abdali Valley.
17:28Every week, hundreds of his trucks go P.O.K.
17:31In fact, about 30% of his business is traded
17:35only through Uri Muzaffarabad Checkpoint.
17:38In the 90s, he was arrested for working for ISI.
17:41But, in 2005, he made a deal with the central government
17:45in which he caught some terrorists
17:47and became a government approver
17:49and himself was released from jail.
17:51But, now we have information
17:53that he's working for ISI again under the guise of trading
17:57and he's bringing their money to Kashmir.
18:24See, BSF and Army do extensive patrolling
18:28on all tunnels and cross-border routes.
18:31So, there's no question of cash being smuggled from those routes.
18:36What if there is no cash?
18:41Over-invoicing, under-invoicing?
18:43Yes, somewhat like that.
18:45Can someone explain it to me in Hindi, ma'am?
18:48Okay, let's assume...
18:50Okay, let's assume...
18:53The price of one almond is equal to one walnut.
18:57Now, Wasim in POK wants almonds
18:59and Chauhan in JNK wants walnuts.
19:03But, neither does Wasim have Gandhi's note
19:06nor does Chauhan have Jinnah's.
19:09There's no joint banking system either.
19:12What do we do?
19:18Correct. Classic barter system.
19:21Okay, now, let's assume...
19:35Exactly.
19:51Now, Chauhan has an extra walnut.
19:55Which makes it...
19:58Profit.
20:01From Ayesha's pocket to Abdali's pocket.
20:03And this walnut is being sold in black in India
20:05and Abdali is generating funds off the books.
20:21C.R.P.M.
20:33C.R.P.M.
20:34Hands up!
20:35Down!
20:36Down!
20:37C.R.P.M.
20:38First!
20:40C.R.P.M.
20:41Hands up!
20:48C.R.P.M.
20:49C.R.P.M.
20:54C.R.P.M.
20:56Get him!
21:13Take him.
21:19I don't know him.
21:25He's a contractor. He works here.
21:28Check the boxes!
21:29Check all the boxes!
21:50Go!
22:01Chauhan, I need cover now!
22:14Wasim!
22:15Abdali's black money and his accounts.
22:46C.R.P.M.
23:00Ma'am.
23:02There's something quite interesting.
23:04What?
23:05This manager, whoever he talks to about Abdali,
23:08he uses different names for him.
23:12Like...
23:13Codenames.
23:14Like what?
23:15Here.
23:18Listen to this.
23:26This is with P.O.K. traders.
23:44C.R.P.M.
23:50Israfil, Mikhail, Azrael.
23:53These are Guru's angels' names.
23:57There are four of them.
24:01Israfil, Mikhail, Azrael.
24:06And Jibril.
24:14Jibril.
24:25Could you please give us a minute?
24:26Okay. No problem, sir.
24:28Close the door, please.
24:35I know.
24:37Who's your Jibril?
24:44Rumi, listen to me carefully.
24:46I want Abdali.
24:50Stay away from him.
24:51And what if I tell you that he's been working for ISI for so long?
24:58You know what a double agent is, right?
25:00Of course. Thanks to you.
25:02That day, your double agent was almost able to save Kashmir's most wanted terrorist.
25:06Yes, and we're still suffering the consequences of your over-smartness.
25:14You've been making back-channels with these separatists and terrorists for so many years.
25:20What have you achieved?
25:251996.
25:27For the first time in nine years, elections were being held in Kashmir.
25:29ISI was going to use local militants to assassinate five major candidates.
25:34And they were going to spread the news in the foreign media that we did all this.
25:39So that it becomes an international incident and India is sanctioned.
25:43The entire intelligence system couldn't catch them.
25:48That's when I convinced them through Abdali to drop this plan.
25:54Do you have any idea why my back-channel exists?
25:58Because when nothing works, my back-channel is the only thing that bloody works.
26:04How did you convince them, sir?
26:07By giving them money, right?
26:10Extortion is called giving money.
26:12Not convincing them.
26:16Abdali is useful and resourceful.
26:18I got him out of jail 13 years ago.
26:20And till date, he has been my asset, ever since.
26:25If you hadn't given him money 13 years ago,
26:28And till date, he has been my asset, ever since.
26:32If you haven't doubted him for 13 years because you think he's doing you a favor,
26:39then maybe he's not yours, you're his asset.
26:45Get out from my office.
26:51Give me Abdali.
26:53Don't make me call Delhi.
26:58Don't make me call Delhi.
27:28Don't make me call Delhi.
27:47Brother, the army is here.
27:55Get everything ready.
27:58Let's go.
28:28Let's go.
28:44Wasim for Chauhan.
28:46Stone pelters, 150 to 200.
28:48Hold them off.
28:53This is the army's convoy.
28:55All of you will have to give me a way out or I'll have to open fire.
28:58Move back.
29:04They're not regular stone pelters.
29:06It's a planned mob.
29:10This is CRPF convoy.
29:12I need immediate backup.
29:13Lalitpura village.
29:154 kilometers away from the highway.
29:17We're on our way, sir.
29:1820 to 25 minutes.
29:1920 to 25 minutes.
29:2125 minutes is too long to get me out of here.
29:26Go, go, go.
29:29Asset car switching to alternate route.
29:30Reverse low.
29:47Stop them.
29:50Hold them off.
29:55Hold them off.
