00:00:46:12 - 00:00:52:08 FARIDABAD CHRISTIAN CEMETRY, DELHI 00:01:01:14 - 00:01:02:14 Let’s go 00:01:21:02 - 00:01:28:03 We will go across the blue skies. My Lord lives there. We will meet in the clouds. The whole world will witness. None of Lord’s good promises have failed. All of them are fulfilled. 00:02:16:00 - 00:02:21:14 New Delhi 00:02:26:23 - 00:02:29:11 When I met Sunaina we hit it off immediately. 00:02:31:15 - 00:02:33:10 She was a lawyer and I made films. 00:02:42:08 - 00:02:45:16 After 8 months of courtship we soon got married. 00:02:56:10 - 00:03:01:06 Like any young couple we had our own share of dreams and plans for the life that was to follow. 00:03:36:23 - 00:03:41:09 We moved in together and hired a domestic help from an agency that provided maids. 00:03:44:01 - 00:03:45:11 Her name was Cecilia. 00:03:54:23 - 00:03:59:05 Cecilia came from a tribal belt in the eastern part of India, far away from Delhi. 00:04:00:16 - 00:04:04:13 Her husband and four kids were in the village around 1500 kms away. 00:04:17:17 - 00:04:22:17 Cecilia forged a special bond with my bedridden father, my sister and my niece. 00:04:32:00 - 00:04:36:05 She became a new member of our family and would accompany us almost everywhere. 00:04:44:03 - 00:04:46:17 She even started to join us on our vacations. 00:05:11:12 - 00:05:15:16 But life has a habit of showing you it’s dark side when you least expect it to. 00:05:31:23 - 00:05:34:22 It all started when Cecilia got a call at our home in Delhi that her daughter was in a hospital. 00:05:38:11- 00:06:16:20 I asked, “How is my daughter”? They did not answer. I again asked, How is my daughter”. “Is she really in the hospital”? They said she is not there. I asked, “Did she run away”? They said, she has left us forever. She is dead. I was shocked. I did not know what to do. I started shrieking and fell on the ground. 00:05:39:08 - 00:05:45:00 CECILIA 00:06:27:01 - 00:06:33:24 Cecilia could not believe it. Her daughter Mati was just 14 and should have been in the village school, not in Delhi. 00:06:53:06 - 00:07:01:06 It was late in the evening and we were told that Cecilia’s daughter’s body is lying in a mortuary and it has to be identified today. 00:07:03:21 - 00:07:11:01 We were not allowed to enter in the mortuary and I categorically remember that the whole place was stinking. 00:07:18:21 - 00:07:33:16 She came back shouting, yelling and crying that yean she is my daughter.. and she is no more …and she said that there were insects, there were rats on her body. 00:07:25:18- 00:07:32:15 SUNAINA 00:07:48:17 - 00:07:50:19 Next morning, we had strange visitors. 00:07:52:23 - 00:08:13:08 The man who came down to our place that day also had some of the villagers from Cecilia’s village and they were all forcing her to go with them and he was constantly forcing her to go with them and the whole situation was going very tense and then I realized that it was time that I call the local police. 00:08:14:00 - 00:08:17:21 - Her daughter was brought to Delhi by him? 00:08:14:00 - 00:08:17:21 Yes, by him. 00:08:17:22 - 00:08:19:11 And he is saying that she has committed suicide. 00:08:19:12 - 00:08:21:15 How did you get to know that she has committed suicide? 00:08:21:16 - 00:08:42:22 I was informed by the family where she was working. Police has asked me to get the guardian of the family. So I have come here to take Cecilia along. I have also brought relatives of the girls from the village. An NGO has visited Cecilia’s village as well. 00:08:45:20 - 00:08:55:07 The villagers said don't file the case. You will get money. Don't file a case at all. 00:08:57:17 - 00:09:00:14 We can go back and you can also continue with your work. 00:09:01:16 - 00:09:07:19 But I thought if I don't file the case then I will never get to know what happened to my daughter. 00:09:09:00 - 00:09:14:13 What really pushed her to take such a step? So I told them that I will definitely file the case. 00:09:19:01 - 00:09:21:21 Me and Sunaina decided that we have to go to the police. 00:09:22:18 - 00:09:28:07 We were shocked that neither the villagers nor the husband ever told Cecilia that her daughter was in Delhi. 00:09:38:00 - 00:09:47:11 FARIDABAD POLICE STATION 00:09:40:11 - 00:09:45:00 At the police station, we found out that the post mortem of Mati had already happened. 00:09:47:13 - 00:09:53:09 But in the report, she was shown as an 18 year old. And the police had not even filed a report on the case. 00:10:23:13 - 00:10:25:24 The newspapers of that day had picked the story. 00:10:27:17 - 00:10:30:05 We wanted to meet the activists mentioned in the paper. 00:10:31:10 - 00:10:32:23 And that’s how we found Rishi. 00:10:35:03 - 00:10:39:10 Rishi was helping us file the complaint. But it took 2 days of struggle. 00:10:41:08 - 00:10:45:21 It was becoming clear that the police were trying to cover up the case. But why? 00:10:48:18 - 00:10:52:00 I want to ask them why are they not doing anything? 00:10:52:01 - 00:10:57:08 Just wait and watch for some time. 00:10:58:16 - 00:11:04:08 RISHI, Anti Trafficking Activist 00:10:58:07 - 00:11:17:08 We wanted to get it confirmed whether this girl was trafficked or not because in this paper it was reported that the girl was placed by a placement agency. Since maximum of the placement agencies are fake so we wanted to cross check that is why we wrote a letter to all the various departments. 00:11:24:09 - 00:11:28:05 As a tribal, Cecilia did not have any papers to prove Mati’s true age. 00:11:29:07 - 00:11:30:14 So we demanded a bone test. 00:11:38:15 - 00:12:05:05 Initially when I saw how the police took that body on a van which was open, her body was kept and that van was connected to a car, which took that ……This is how one carries dead cattle. 00:12:43:19 - 00:12:45:18 Be careful 00:12:51:06 - 00:13:00:18 We could never have imagined that evening that Mati’s death would be with us for the next 13 months and how difficult and disappointing these 13 months would be. 00:13:16:22 - 00:13:21:07 A lot of middle class house hold in Delhi had kids working as helpers and maids. 00:13:22:00 - 00:13:25:02 But after Mati's death I was seeing things in a new light. 00:13:28:23 - 00:13:32:18 I decided to make a film on all this. But I knew I would need help. 00:13:35:21 - 00:13:42:08 KAILASH SATYARTHI Child Labour Activist 00:13:37:02 - 00:13:42:09 I had heard about Kailash Satyarthi who had been fighting against child traffickers for more than 3 decades. 00:13:59:19 - 00:14:01:12 Open the door! 00:14:01:13 - 00:14:02:17 Where are the kids working? 00:14:02:18 - 00:14:05:05 They are in this whole factory 00:14:08:01 - 00:14:14:12 All of you will be arrested right away if you don't tell the truth.Whose factory is this? Seal the place and arrest everyone. 00:14:15:22 - 00:14:25:03 If you try to act smart then no one will be spared. You will be in prison for a long time. Just tell the truth, where have you hidden the kids? 00:14:30:07 - 00:14:32:15 The information about the raid had somehow got leaked. 00:14:34:06 - 00:14:37:03 The kids were removed and only the older workers were left. 00:14:42:18 - 00:14:46:02 But in another raid the same day, 20 children were rescued. 00:14:58:02 - 00:15:02:17 Having an education is very important. Evan that cop is literate. Won’t you like to study too. 00:15:04:01 - 00:15:07:15 Did they provide you regular meals. 00:15:04:01 - 00:15:07:15 -No 00:15:08:08 - 00:15:45:06 In case of trafficking and bonded laborers, the parents of these children are normally cheated. They are deceived. They are told that your child will earn good salary, will lead good life. He or she can come back anytime when you like. The end consumer of this so called child labour product is many of us. And since domestic helps are in big demand, so the demand is fulfilled by these so called placement agencies. It’s a very well organized crime and that cannot go on without the connivance of the authorities. 00:15:48:13 - 00:15:49:22 Wasn't Satyarthi right? 00:15:51:17 - 00:15:56:21 Wasn't it people like me who were creating a demand that had opened a large market for these traffickers. 00:15:59:12 - 00:16:05:10 Over the next days I kept getting back at Kailash’s interview and the footage that he had shared with me. 00:16:16:19 - 00:16:23:09 Girls who were picked up by traffickers and placed in houses for as low as 3000 rupees or 50 dollars per month. 00:16:30:12 - 00:16:36:12 But I was most struck by the visuals of a young girl being rescued from a house where she had been tortured. 00:16:39:23 - 00:16:42:13 Would you make your kids sleep on the floor too in such a cold weather? 00:16:42:14 - 00:16:44:08 Obviously not 00:16:44:09 - 00:16:53:16 Try and understand me Maam. She is here because she was kidnapped. This is a bonded situation. You gave 30000 rupees for her. This means you bought her. 00:16:53:17 - 00:16:59:15 We didn't do anything new. Everyone pays to get girls for a year. 00:17:01:22 - 00:17:03:22 Did Mati face something similar? 00:17:12:18 - 00:17:16:06 Mati’s death affected all of us and brought us even closer to Cecilia. 00:17:20:06 - 00:17:27:06 With the case being lodged, Cecilia was now coming under increasing pressure not just form the villagers but also from her husband. 00:17:35:06 - 00:18:01:00 Cecilia informed us that she is getting calls from her villagers who are trying to persuade her, threaten her to take the case back and not to carry on with the police investigation in this case. Hearing this, we were shocked and surprised that people from her own village, her own family members why are they forcing her to take such a step. 00:18:10:19 - 00:18:13:15 Who were these people who came to our home that morning? 00:18:17:10 - 00:18:18:18 And this man? 00:18:19:10 - 00:18:21:09 Was he behind Mati’s trafficking? 00:18:30:06 - 00:18:34:09 Cecilia was nervous and something was preventing her from being fully open to us. 00:18:37:02 - 00:18:42:14 I still can't figure out who were the people who came to our house on the first day. 00:18:44:20 - 00:18:48:04 Who were they? There were 10 people? 00:18:48:13 - 00:18:55:15 Yeah. There was a woman called Manju. My brother was also there - Johan. 00:18:55:16 - 00:19:12:00 And they were upset that you wanted to file the case? Are they the ones who have been asking you to withdraw the case? The people you said have been calling you to withdraw the charges? 00:19:13:04 - 00:19:15:24 My sister in law has been asking me to withdraw. 00:19:17:09 - 00:19:20:20 But you said that a lot of people have been calling you. 00:19:20:21 - 00:19:23:24 Yeah yeah. The village head has also been asking me to withdraw everything. 00:19:24:00 - 00:19:28:20 But why are they so concerned about that? What makes them so worried? 00:19:28:21 - 00:19:34:11 That police informer called Kunwar had also called up, no? 00:19:34:12 - 00:19:36:11 Yeah Kunwar 00:19:36:12 - 00:19:44:09 He was telling me, “You don't understand Madum”. “I want to make Cecilia understand. We will decide this in our village”. 00:19:45:09 - 00:19:54:22 They want me to close the case and come to the village and decide everything in the village meeting. 00:20:02:10 - 00:20:06:07 From what Cecilia was telling us, there seemed to be a whole nexus at work. 00:20:07:05 - 00:20:13:15 A Sister who had worked for the Church had sold Mati to a trafficker called Rafiq who also ran a placement agency in Delhi. 00:20:16:08 - 00:20:19:08 Rafiq was the man who came to our home with Cecilia’s villagers. 00:20:21:18 - 00:20:26:18 Cecilia’s husband knew all this but it seemed that he had been paid money to stay quiet. 00:20:39:20 - 00:20:47:01 Kailash and Rishi suggested that I travel to the tribal belt where Cecilia came from, to have a better understanding of trafficking and how it works. 00:20:56:13 - 00:21:03:11 I was apprehensive of travelling to Cecilia’s village, so I visited Lakhimpur instead which was not very far from her village. 00:20:56:21- 00:21:01:14 LAKHIMPUR 00:21:10:09 - 00:21:17:10 Lakhimpur was one of the most impoverished regions in the country and this made it a popular hunting ground of traffickers. 00:21:43:04 - 00:21:47:14 Safeera Begum’s daughter Meenu was 12 when she was taken to Delhi 5 years ago. 00:21:50:04 - 00:21:52:06 She had not heard from her after that. 00:21:50:16 - 00:21:54:23 SAFEERA BEGUM 00:21:54:13 - 00:21:56:24 00:21:58:01 - 00:22:01:16 I went to the police station after 3 months. - Which police station? 00:21:58:01 - 00:22:01:16 - The one right here. 00:22:01:17 - 00:22:07:05 They did not do anything. Then we filed the case in the court. There also nothing happened. 00:22:07:06 - 00:22:15:00 We went to the court for a year. Lawyers kept telling us that we will get our girl. 00:22:15:18 - 00:22:22:21 There are times I cry hysterically. What can I do? Even he scolds me for crying so much. 00:22:31:19 - 00:22:36:05 JULITA 00:22:35:04 - 00:22:40:17 Having lost her parents when she was just 5, Julita was sold by her aunt to a trafficker. 00:22:41:11 - 00:22:59:19 I was playing outside when she approached and asked if I wanted to go to Delhi. I said no, I want to stay here only. Then she said, you will get everything there. They will keep you like their own daughter. Then she took me with her. 00:23:01:03 - 00:23:06:20 The city proved to be Julita’s worst nightmare when she was brutally raped at her employer’s place. 00:23:24:14 - 00:23:27:13 It was the same story at almost ever household. 00:23:35:11 - 00:23:38:19 Tati’s sister was 15 when she was trafficked. 00:23:41:17 - 00:23:45:01 Rabina was 14 when she was trafficked and raped for months. 00:23:47:02 - 00:23:54:05 Lirmoni’s daughter had been gone for 5 years but she never went to the police because she knew she would not get any help. 00:24:05:11- 00:24:07:16 - Hello 00:24:05:11- 00:24:07:16 - Hello 00:24:08:07 - 00:24:12:23 - Hi 00:24:08:07 - 00:24:12:23 - Hi how it is going? 00:24:15:02 - 00:24:57:08 Its crazy sitting in Delhi, we can’t even imagine… For me it was very scary, I could never had imagined .. there were times when I didn’t even know what to.. you are talking to the parents, you are hearing their stories ..You are talking to them, they start crying the girls start crying.. the parents start crying and you are right there, you don’t know what to do so… that is it. How was your day? 00:24:58:08 -00:25:05:10 Usual day, Long day at work, but it is terrible to hear this 00:25:05:21 - 00:25:08:18 - How is Cecilia? 00:25:05:21 - 00:25:08:18 - She seems to be fine 00:25:11:02 - 00:25:14:15 Fine then. I have to wake up early tomorrow. So I will hang up. 00:25:14:16 - 00:25:17:24 Yeah yeah. Ok bye. Take care 00:25:33:07 - 00:25:40:10 Next morning I could not stop thinking about Mati and how her circumstances could have been so similar to the people I had met yesterday. 00:26:02:08 - 00:26:04:22 How big a problem is trafficking in your area? 00:26:03:09 - 00:26:07:21 KAMALESWAR DEKA Incharge, Laluk Police Station 00:26:05:06 - 00:26:17:05 Trafficking is not really a problem here. There has been just one case of trafficking in the last 8-9 months. That is the only case that has happened. 00:26:21:06 - 00:26:27:05 Either everyone I had met yesterday was fabricating stories or Mr. Deka was living in a fantasy world. 00:26:32:24 - 00:26:44:02 Do you think that a lots of kids in the villages get trafficked but the parents don't file a police complaint due to lack of awareness? 00:26:44:15 - 00:27:01:16 These are not really trafficking cases. They are something else. Children who are taken to Delhi and other places. I can recall one such case where a 6 year old child was sold. 00:27:02:06 - 00:27:02:22 Ok 00:27:03:08 - 00:27:10:17 There are one or two such other cases as well. But this cannot be called trafficking. 00:27:10:18 - 00:27:13:00 So what is this according to you then? 00:27:13:01 - 00:27:13:23 Sorry 00:27:13:24 - 00:27:16:21 What are all these cases according to you then? 00:27:17:09 - 00:27:27:04 They...Umm... These cases will come under Child protection. 00:27:30:21 - 00:27:36:16 That same evening while Cecilia was taking care of my bedridden father, a person visited our home in Delhi. 00:27:45:13 - 00:28:22:20 I got to know that the person belonged to the family where my daughter was working. I got very angry. I told them I want my daughter. They said we can't give your daughter but we will pay you money. I again said I want my daughter back. Then uncle said don't make her cry. Talk to my son. Leave her alone. 00:28:39:24 - 00:28:40:15 Hello 00:28:41:00 - 00:28:42:23 -Hello 00:28:41:00 - 00:28:42:23 -Yeah 00:28:42:24 - 00:28:56:11 I just got to know yesterday when I came back from the shoot that you came to my place and Cecilia in the morning she started crying that this guy came because she just got too scared. There was no point of you coming home. 00:28:57:09 - 00:29:26:24 The family who has been accused, I will bring them to your place. They are very educated. They are not criminals. She had some stress. You can do your own enquiry and even ask the neighbors. Tell me, what could they have said that she committed suicide? The only reason could have been that she didn’t want to come but was sent forcefully. 00:29:28:11 - 00:29:45:00 The court will also eventually award compensation. Right? That we are ready to give today also. Her life will be made. How much ever money she wants, we are ready to give that. We just want the mother to say that the family is innocent. 00:29:50:05 - 00:30:11:22 Sometimes things happen to us which make us question our own morals. Mati’s death had made us introspect our own role as consumers of these trafficked kids. We had been guilty for hiring kids in the past ourselves...and.. it was not easy for us to come to terms with that. 00:30:17:03 - 00:30:22:15 The 2nd post mortem of Mati had come out which confirmed that she had committed suicide. 00:30:25:10 - 00:30:31:22 The bone test put her age between 14 and 16 years which meant that Mati was not of legal age to work. 00:30:34:23 - 00:31:14:23 They are telling me that she was depressed. If she was depressed then shouldn't the family have asked her the reason? They should have asked her if she was in some pain or if she did not feel at home. Rafiq should have sent her back to the village if she did not want to work. I think Rafiq may have scolded her badly which forced her to take such a drastic step. 00:31:26:03 - 00:31:29:22 Mati’s grave had been lying unmarked 50 kms from Delhi. 00:31:31:07 - 00:31:34:00 Cecilia wanted the grave to be marked and beautiful. 00:32:20:14 - 00:32:36:02 The day I did not get any work, I used to go to the river. I used to catch fish, sell it and then buy food for the family from that money. 00:32:38:03 - 00:32:40:24 That is how I raised my daughter. 00:32:42:18 - 00:32:56:20 Did I keep her inside me for 9 months to see this day? To find her dead at a stranger's house? 00:33:06:05 - 00:33:12:15 And then something strange happened. We got to know that Cecilia’s husband had disappeared from the village. 00:33:20:09 - 00:33:26:03 But before we could get over this shock, we had a visit from the investigating officer of the case. 00:33:27:08 - 00:33:32:19 Whether you like it or not, the fact is that the family has been falsely implicated. 00:33:33:03 - 00:33:36:12 She was a 14 year old girl. Something must have happened. 00:33:36:22 - 00:33:39:09 I am telling you, they will compensate her. 00:33:41:03 - 00:33:46:01 But I still can't believe that a 14 year old could take such a drastic step. 00:33:46:02 - 00:34:00:06 Don't go by her age. These days even a 5 year old knows what's good for her. All I am saying is that nothing will happen if she gives an affidavit. 00:34:03:12 - 00:34:08:04 The officer wanted Cecilia to drop the case against the family where Mati was working. 00:34:22:21 - 00:34:27:11 FIRST COURT HEARING IN THE CASE 00:34:31:09 - 00:34:38:08 Rafiq, the trafficker is produced in the Court and remanded to judicial custody. 00:35:07:24 - 00:35:10:23 - Hello 00:35:07:24 - 00:35:10:23 Yeah 00:35:10:24 - 00:35:12:22 So what happened? 00:35:12:23 - 00:35:20:20 I have left. The judge came today but Rafiq's lawyer did not come. 00:35:20:21 - 00:35:23:24 Ok. So did you get to see Rafiq? 00:35:24:00 - 00:35:28:20 Yeah. In fact, he tried to hide himself so that I could not record him. 00:35:31:24 - 00:35:34:20 I have been telling you that I don't have a good feeling about all these. 00:35:37:08 - 00:35:46:18 I have been telling you not to become the face of the case and you are doing that only. You are putting everybody at risk including your life and my life. 00:35:48:23 - 00:35:51:22 You should not have gone inside the court room. 00:35:51:23 - 00:35:55:03 I didn't go inside. This all happened outside 00:35:55:04 - 00:36:13:07 Pankaj, you are not understanding the criticality of these criminal matters. You think he will leave us when he comes out of jail? You never take me seriously. If not as a wife, at least as a lawyer you should try and understand what I am trying to say. 00:36:15:04 - 00:36:17:19 Anyways... we will talk when you come home. 00:36:24:17 - 00:36:29:04 These are the copies of police applications. 00:36:27:07- 00:36:33:11 BHUWAN RIBHU Kailash’s Son/ Expert on Trafficking cases 00:36:49:00 - 00:36:56:01 Unfortunately you have come to me very late. This case has been totally messed up. 00:36:56:02 - 00:37:00:03 So what is the option now? Do you think? 00:37:00:04 - 00:37:34:13 See, unfortunately we may not be in a position to win this. That is where we are. Its not a surety that we will win this case Cecilia. You must understand this. If you want justice for your daughter then I will fight this case till the world's end. But I can fight with you not for you. We have a team of best lawyers for you. 00:37:34:14 - 00:37:38:00 See, I have already lost my child. 00:37:38:19 - 00:37:39:20 yes 00:37:39:21 - 00:37:42:08 That’s what I told you. She is confused. 00:37:42:09 - 00:37:43:22 Yes that's sadly true. 00:37:43:23 - 00:37:48:07 Her husband is nowhere to be found. 00:37:48:08 - 00:37:50:22 - Where is he? 00:37:48:08 - 00:37:50:22 How would I know? 00:37:50:23 - 00:38:54:10 I believe that soon there will be a statement from her husband. That the daughter came to work with his permission. Now, you have two options. First option is to take the compensation that the family is offering. They will ask you to say that the trafficker brought your daughter to Delhi but she was 18, not a minor. The case will end on the basis of that. I don't know what will happen to the trafficker but the family will be free. The second option is to fight the case tooth and nail. In that case I assure you that I will assist you with everything. There is no other third option. The only other option is to stay in a limbo like we are right now. Tell me what do you want? 00:38:54:10 - 00:38:57:07 - I want to find my husband. 00:38:54:10 - 00:38:57:07 - And? 00:38:57:08 - 00:38:59:20 And I want justice for my daughter. 00:38:59:21 - 00:39:07:06 How will you get that justice ? What does justice mean to you? Do you want money or do you want to send the accused to jail? 00:39:09:04 - 00:39:10:15 Should he be sent to jail? 00:39:10:16 - 00:39:24:03 She can't tell you this. Nor can anyone else. Only a mother can decide she wants money for her death daughter or whether she wants to put the accused behind bars. Take your time and tell me. 00:39:41:00 - 00:39:43:09 Cecilia decided not to drop the case. 00:39:52:13 - 00:39:54:17 But there was more bad news from the village. 00:39:56:21 - 00:40:01:10 Her two sons had been forced out of their home and her elder daughter was now being threatened. 00:40:17:14 - 00:40:22:14 We decided that we have to travel to Cecilia’s village even though Sunaina didn’t like the idea. 00:41:02:06 - 00:41:06:01 For Sunaina, it was her first visit to India’s north-east tribal belt. 00:41:06:22 - 00:41:14:02 A region where millions of aboriginals did not even have any rights to their own land and lived in absolute poverty. 00:41:22:09 - 00:41:26:07 SUVENDU Rishi’s colleague 00:41:27:15 - 00:41:30:12 I had meet your husband before he disappeared. 00:41:30:13 - 00:41:31:15 Yeah? 00:41:31:16 - 00:41:39:21 Yes. I had met him when he went to the village to investigate after the suicide. That time he was there. Now I am hearing that he is no longer in the village. 00:41:41:02 - 00:41:43:22 You didn't see my kids there? My two sons? 00:41:43:23 - 00:41:47:09 No, there was no one else around. 00:41:47:10 - 00:41:50:07 - Only my husband was there? 00:41:47:10 - 00:41:50:07 00:41:54:08 - 00:41:57:15 - Yeah. Only your husband was there. All of us were scared so we decided to take police protection. 00:42:26:07 - 00:42:28:02 Oh, so she is her daughter 00:42:31:08 - 00:42:33:08 Cecilia’s daughter was indifferent. 00:42:34:13 - 00:42:39:03 Only later we learnt how much she had been threatened by Rafiq’s men and the villagers. 00:42:50:22 - 00:42:53:18 Did Rafiq take Cecilia’s husband 00:42:53:19 - 00:42:54:24 No 00:42:55:00 - 00:42:57:14 Then who took him? What’s his name ? 00:42:57:15 - 00:43:01:05 His name …Rafiq’s brother…I cant recall his name 00:43:01:06 - 00:43:03:21 Oh! Rafiq’s brother? Rafiq didn’t come? 00:43:03:22 - 00:43:05:12 Where have they taken Cecilia’s husband? 00:43:05:13 - 00:43:07:07 -There 00:43:05:13 - 00:43:07:07 -There where? 00:43:07:08 - 00:43:09:12 -Delhi 00:43:07:08 - 00:43:09:12 - Where in Delhi? 00:43:09:13 - 00:43:10:20 Rafiq’s house 00:43:10:21 - 00:43:12:23 Oh! Come here 00:43:12:24 - 00:43:15:03 She is saying he is at Rafiq’s place in Delhi 00:43:15:04 - 00:43:16:20 See, I was telling you. 00:43:16:21 - 00:43:20:10 -How did they go? -Aeroplane. 00:43:20:11 - 00:43:22:06 So they took him to Delhi in a plane. 00:43:22:07 - 00:43:27:23 Rafiq ! What is Rafiq’s fathers name? Where is Rafiq’s Village? 00:43:29:03 - 00:43:30:12 Sir is asking where is Rafiq’s village 00:43:30:13 - 00:43:33:16 I have told you that Rafiq is in Delhi. Why are you troubling me? 00:43:38:05 - 00:43:40:24 It had gotten dark and the atmosphere was getting tense. 00:43:43:04 - 00:43:45:03 So we decided to come back next day. 00:44:02:24 - 00:44:23:21 When we reached the village early next morning we did not get any help from the villagers that we were trying to look for Cecilia’s sons. People were very reluctant to talk to us. And when we met Cecilia’s sister, she started running away from us which was very weird for us. 00:44:30:02 - 00:44:32:20 I could not understand why no one wanted to talk about Rafiq 00:44:35:02 - 00:44:36:08 Was she taken by the placement agency? 00:44:40:23 - 00:44:42:06 Is this the first time that she has gone to Delhi? 00:44:42:07 - 00:44:43:04 Yes. 00:44:43:05 - 00:44:44:13 Does Rafiq belong to your village? 00:44:44:14 - 00:44:47:14 No, he belongs to another village nearby. 00:44:51:14 - 00:44:54:16 But does he take away girls from here?. 00:44:54:17 - 00:44:57:03 Yes, a lot of them. 00:44:58:24 - 00:45:01:19 After my repeated attempts, a girl finally came forward. 00:45:02:07 - 00:45:03:09 He took me as well. 00:45:03:14 - 00:45:05:00 Yeah, he took her also 00:45:05:01 - 00:45:07:16 - So you know him? 00:45:05:01 - 00:45:07:16 - Yes of course. Very well. 00:45:07:17 - 00:45:10:02 - Where did he take you? 00:45:07:17 - 00:45:10:02 - Delhi 00:45:10:22 - 00:45:18:12 The way he took Cecilia's daughter without her knowledge, do they often take away girls without informing the family? 00:45:18:13 - 00:45:25:06 Yeah. They just entice the girls and don't tell the parents. 00:45:25:07 - 00:45:27:22 And they say they will give them jobs? 00:45:28:15 - 00:45:30:16 Are there others like Rafiq also who take away girls? 00:45:30:17 - 00:45:34:23 Yeah. Apart from Rafiq there is Salim, Taufiq... 3 or 4 others also... 00:45:54:23 - 00:46:02:03 Yes there are. I personally know 2-3 girls who have not been traced. 00:46:17:11 - 00:46:18:20 - What is this? - Ration Card 00:46:18:21 - 00:46:21:10 So now we have some identification proof of the husband. 00:46:25:02 - 00:46:27:19 This is the younger son? 00:46:25:02 - 00:46:27:19 Yeah younger son 00:46:32:17 - 00:46:34:12 Who is he? 00:46:32:17 - 00:46:34:12 That's my husband 00:46:35:03 - 00:46:37:01 My husband is bald. 00:46:37:13 - 00:46:39:05 Keep this. We will need his photo. 00:46:40:13 - 00:46:44:11 Insurance card. This may also help in finding him. 00:46:48:08 - 00:46:51:12 Cecilia was concerned about her elder daughter Jyoti’s safety. 00:46:52:14 - 00:46:54:18 So she decided to take her to a shelter home. 00:47:14:00 - 00:47:17:10 As we were driving from the village, I got a call from my mother. 00:47:19:19 - 00:47:21:24 She had been threatened by the traffickers. 00:47:28:12 - 00:47:48:05 Rishi, my mom just got a call that your kids have taken a girl from the village today. You should not have done that. Now you all will have to face the consequenses. And then he cut off the call. 00:47:51:00 - 00:47:51:19 Yeah. 00:47:55:15 - 00:47:56:12 Yeah. 00:47:57:22 - 00:48:11:16 But I am just very concerned because we are still here for 2-3 days and if these guys can do this and call my mother despite knowing that police was with us and still give us a call and a threatening call at that … then tey can do anything. 00:48:22:09 - 00:48:25:05 I don’t think I have ever felt more scared in my life. 00:48:47:00 - 00:48:51:03 Can you stop this Sunaina? I am telling you nothing will happen. Can you please stop crying. 00:48:54:20 - 00:48:56:03 Don’t do this then. Don’t cry. 00:48:56:14 - 00:48:58:22 Why are you making a scene in the car? 00:48:59:05 - 00:49:01:18 Why are you crying then? I am telling you nothing will happen. 00:49:02:20 - 00:49:04:14 Yeah, you are a God!You know everything 00:49:05:13 - 00:49:07:05 I don’t trust anything in this country. 00:49:24:00 - 00:49:25:21 Had I really got too far with this? 00:49:26:18 - 00:49:32:11 My father was my age when he became bedridden for life after he was shot in the spine by some goons. 00:49:36:16 - 00:49:37:24 Turn left. Turn left 00:49:42:08 - 00:49:48:09 RAIPUR SHELTER HOME West Bengal 00:49:49:13 - 00:49:50:19 This is not a bad place. It's good here. 00:49:55:04 - 00:49:56:15 Don’t be afraid. Step Inside 00:49:57:12 - 00:50:01:00 You will make lot of friends here. 00:50:02:15 - 00:50:04:06 Go on. Go on 00:50:12:17 - 00:50:14:03 Close the door 00:50:19:23 - 00:50:22:00 Please take care of my daughter 00:50:22:13 - 00:50:31:15 Don't worry. She will be fine here. There are 40-50 girls like her here. 00:50:32:22 - 00:50:36:17 Make sure she does not try to run away. 00:50:49:17 - 00:51:08:20 It's a very disturbing feeling to get a life threatening call. You start to think if what you are doing is really worth the effort. After coming to Delhi we had sleepless nights and at one point of time we even wanted to back off from the case. 00:51:27:21 - 00:51:40:21 I wanted to discuss with Kailash our visit to Cecilia's village. He himself had been attacked by traffickers numerous times. So I was happy when he invited us to see a play by rescued kids. 00:51:42:02 - 00:51:57:03 If you have to give me alms then come out else I will curse you. Wait. I am coming. Here take this. Let me go, Let me go. 00:52:22:22 - 00:52:47:00 There are couples in cities who send their kids to expensive schools but hire and torture 12 year old girls at home. Buying, selling and kidnapping kids is a crime. This is child trafficking which we oppose. It is an evil which we will burn in the form of this effigy. Is everyone ready? 00:52:45:05- 00:52:47:00 Yes 00:52:47:15 - 00:52:51:09 We will stop child labour! Yes we will! Yes we will! 00:52:51:10 - 00:52:54:22 We will stop child trafficking. Yes we will! Yes we will! 00:52:55:14 - 00:52:58:16 We will end illiteracy. Yes we will! Yes we will! 00:53:20:16 - 00:53:23:10 I decided to get Cecilia’s case file from the court. 00:53:25:05 - 00:53:27:02 I could not believe what I was seeing. 00:53:29:06 - 00:53:35:12 Cecilia’s own villagers had given statements that she had been divorced from her husband who had the custody of the kids. 00:53:39:06 - 00:53:44:02 Was this done to imply that Mati did not need Cecilia’s permission to come to Delhi? 00:53:53:19 - 00:53:55:04 Hello Hello 00:53:56:23 - 00:54:00:07 I have got to know that you and the others have given false statements in the court. 00:54:02:21 - 00:54:09:04 That me and my husband got divorced in front of the priest 3 years ago. 00:54:09:19 - 00:54:10:21 Why? 00:54:11:05 - 00:54:13:00 Who told you this? 00:54:13:23 - 00:54:18:19 You tell me why did you say this big lie? 00:54:19:17 - 00:54:22:19 Don’t blame me. Why don’t you close the case when we told you to. Why did you write the names of everyone who came to the house in the complaint? And why are you going to the court? End it. 00:54:29:13 - 00:54:38:17 The case will end when it has to. But right now everyone is asking me if I took the divorce. 00:54:39:14 - 00:54:46:02 We had no option. There is still time. Take the case back. 00:54:48:05 - 00:54:55:04 Case will go on. Whether you support me or not. I have lost my daughter. 00:54:55:21 - 00:55:00:07 Fine then. But remember, you won’t receive any compensation from the court. 00:55:01:00 - 00:55:04:24 Your lies make me even more determined. 00:55:06:16 - 00:55:09:24 Has the statement been furnished in the court? 00:55:11:00 - 00:55:13:21 We will talk in court now. I will kick your ass in the court. 00:55:21:15 - 00:55:23:04 Time was flying by. 00:55:24:20 - 00:55:29:21 Before me and Sunaina could realize, we had already completed one year as a married couple. 00:55:43:07 - 00:55:54:19 For every couple, first anniversary is a moment to celebrate but for us there was too much going on in the background and we just cut a cake and had a quiet dinner at home. 00:56:05:02 - 00:56:09:01 Call from Raipur Police Chief, Cecilia’s Village, Bengal 00:56:08:13 - 00:56:13:04 The same week, I got a call from the police chief whom we had visited in Bengal. 00:56:14:20 - 00:56:20:19 In the case that you had lodged regarding Cecilia's husband's kidnapping, the husband himself came and said he was never kidnapped. 00:56:20:20 - 00:56:23:04 Where did he come and say this? At the police station? 00:56:23:05 - 00:56:41:11 No, no. In the court. In the front of the magistrate. He said he went on his own will to Delhi to work. He said that he went through Rafiq's agency. And that case is now closed. 00:56:42:08 - 00:56:46:23 But he has not gone to the village. I think he was produced just for this. 00:56:47:16 - 00:57:04:23 Its possible that Rafiq’s people might have brought him. I am not denying it because it’s a racket. But once a person who is alleged to have been kidnapped he comes and says that he went on his own then there is very little that police can do about it. 00:57:07:14 - 00:57:12:04 It was quite clear that Cecilia’s husband was now a trafficker in the hands of Rafiq 00:57:34:22 - 00:57:39:21 Your husband has gone to the police and said that he went to Delhi on his own and no one kidnapped him. 00:58:04:17 - 00:58:07:12 Cecilia was unusually quiet for the next one week. 00:58:20:01 - 00:58:25:24 And then...Cecilia told us to speak to the family where Mati was working, the next time they called us. 00:58:30:14 - 00:58:34:08 So you have made up your mind that you want to withdraw the case against the family? 00:58:34:21 - 00:58:36:16 - Yeah 00:58:34:21 - 00:58:36:16 - Ok 00:58:39:14 - 00:58:41:11 I have told you this already 00:58:44:17 - 00:58:53:17 But Rafiq could get benefit of this and come out of jail. 00:58:54:03 - 00:59:01:14 But I can tell the judge what all Rafiq has done. 00:59:03:14 - 00:59:11:22 That I have seen him assaulting girls myself. Maybe he did something to my daughter too. 00:59:13:13 - 00:59:18:17 So I will never withdraw the case against Rafiq. He should get harshest punishment. 00:59:22:02 - 00:59:26:11 A couple of days later we got a call from the lawyer of the family to meet her. 00:59:35:10 - 00:59:36:22 So you practice in high court? 00:59:37:02 - 00:59:39:11 Yes, I am in Central government Council. 00:59:39:07 - 00:59:43:23 Meeting with the Family’s Lawyer 00:59:43:15 - 00:59:46:09 So, they did not know that Mati was a minor when they hired her? 00:59:46:10 - 00:59:49:15 If they knew it then why would they have paid so much to Rafiq's placement agency? 00:59:50:11 - 00:59:54:13 - They were told she is above 18? 00:59:50:11 - 00:59:54:13 -Yeah, Rafiq gave documents also. 00:59:54:14 - 00:59:59:17 - What did she do at their place? 00:59:54:14 - 00:59:59:17 The usual. Kitchen and all. 01:00:00:12 - 01:00:03:00 So now what has to be done? 01:00:03:01 - 01:00:09:22 That is what you will tell us. We don't know how these things work. 01:00:09:23 - 01:00:29:15 Make her take money so that she stays quiet. I like putting things as they are instead of going in circles. The mother will have have to give a statement that the accused family is not guilty. We will compensate her monetarily. She just has to become hostile in court. 01:00:29:16 - 01:00:31:11 And the case against Rafiq will go on? 01:00:31:12 - 01:00:36:21 Yeah yeah. I don't want to discuss him. He is not a nice man 01:00:36:22 - 01:00:44:09 Because he may again traffic more girls later. 01:00:36:22 - 01:00:44:09 - Yeah, I agree. 01:00:44:24 - 01:00:49:17 But how much interest will you take once your work is done? 01:00:50:01 - 01:00:52:13 I assure you, I will get him the harshest punishment. 01:00:54:00 - 01:00:57:21 The lawyer wanted Cecilia to sign some papers before she got the money. 01:01:08:24 - 01:01:29:24 So, I will tell you what they have written. I have already told them that this is not right. The first is again this that Cecilia has been living separately from her husband. And they want you to sign this. 01:01:31:18 - 01:01:38:17 But this is a lie. When I was staying with my husband, how can I sign this? 01:01:39:05 - 01:01:44:22 I have already asked them that they have to remove this if they want your signature. 01:01:46:01 - 01:01:58:02 But God will never forgive me if I sign false documents. I don't want any money like this. 01:01:58:06 - 01:02:21:02 Ok, I will ask them to remove it if they agree. But after the court acquits them, Rafiq could get benefit of this as I said earlier. 01:02:21:18 - 01:02:39:05 No, no no. I don't want Rafiq to ever get out. Sometimes I think I am getting greedy. That I should finish the case and I will get money. That is not what God says. 01:02:54:12 - 01:02:59:07 Bhuwan had told me that he will be unable to help Cecilia if she decided to opt for settlement. 01:03:00:14 - 01:03:02:14 . But I still wanted to seek his advice 01:03:09:15 - 01:03:12:09 When I reached his office, I was greeted to a different news. 01:03:13:14 - 01:03:16:05 Congratulations brother. Congratulations! 01:03:27:13 - 01:03:35:21 Mr Kailash Satyarthi, recipient of the Nobel peace prize is with us. Mr. Satyarthi many congratulations. You must be overwhelmed. 01:03:36:12 - 01:03:49:09 This is a proud moment for every Indian. For the first time an Indian has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize. But above all, it is a honour for millions of kids whose rights have always been denied. 01:03:58:22 - 01:04:01:18 The family agreed to remove the divorce sentence. 01:04:03:04 - 01:04:06:03 For almost a month Cecilia kept thinking. 01:04:23:24 - 01:04:28:21 Eventually, Cecilia decided to sign the statement, drop the case and take the money. 01:05:11:20 - 01:05:15:18 As we had feared, Rafiq got the benefit and was soon out on bail. 01:05:31:04 - 01:05:37:02 Call from Accused Family’s Lawyer 01:05:31:15 - 01:05:33:00 Hello 01:05:31:15 - 01:05:33:00 Yeah Mandeep 01:05:34:00 - 01:05:36:17 - How are you Pankaj ?. 01:05:34:00 - 01:05:36:17 - I am good 01:05:38:09 -01:05:41:16 - Yesterday some crazy stuff happened in court. 01:05:38:09 -01:05:41:16 - What crazy stuff? 01:05:43:01 - 01:06:00:12 Rafiq's lawyers were also there. And they created a lot of ruckus. They said how can Cecilia compromise with one accused and not the other one. So the judge asked to compromise with Rafiq also. 01:06:00:13 - 01:06:03:18 How can the judge say such a thing? The mother does not want to compromise with Rafiq. He is a trafficker and the mother wants him to be jailed. 01:06:06:14 - 01:06:13:19 Who says he is a trafficker? Where is the proof? Stop dreaming and see the legal viewpoint. 01:06:14:19 - 01:06:23:01 You are saying he is not a trafficker? This is the state of this country that lawyers like you don't see trafficking as a crime. Cecilia has already told you everything. 01:06:23:18 - 01:06:31:21 You make me talk to Cecilia in the evening. You just get sidelined and get out of the picture. 01:06:31:22 - 01:06:37:06 So that you can make her do whatever you want? I won't let that happen. 01:06:40:20 - 01:06:42:18 This is like a vicious circle 01:06:45:12 - 01:06:49:23 I just could not understand how could the judge ask Cecilia to compromise with the trafficker? 01:06:51:12 - 01:06:54:24 Was the lawyer lying? Or was the judge bribed? 01:06:58:04 - 01:06:59:23 Dial the lawyer's number. 01:07:09:20 - 01:07:11:15 Yeah Pankaj. How are you? 01:07:12:03 - 01:07:14:11 I am good. You tell me. 01:07:14:24 - 01:07:17:07 I am absolutely fine. 01:07:18:05 - 01:07:25:10 I have spoken to Cecilia. She is right here with me. You talk to her. 01:07:26:02 - 01:07:30:14 Hello 01:07:26:02 - 01:07:30:14 - Yeah. Rafiq called. What have you decided? 01:07:30:23 - 01:07:36:22 Madum see, I have lost my daughter. 01:07:37:11 - 01:07:39:05 Yeah she is gone. 01:07:39:17 - 01:07:56:24 She will never be back. There are so many others in the village. I am sure Rafiq will approach them. Well if he does the same with other kids, then it's not right. 01:07:57:22 - 01:08:13:24 Look the court has said that the compromise has to happen with everyone and not just with one person. In that situation, the money we gave you is a waste for us. 01:08:14:22 - 01:08:18:02 But I am not blaming you anymore. I am talking about Rafiq. 01:08:18:13 - 01:08:23:12 But the court is not agreeing to it. Listen to me Cecilia. 01:08:23:15 - 01:08:26:15 I have told you what I want. 01:08:27:00 - 01:08:45:01 No one cares about what you want. Are you the judge that whatever you want will happen? He will not leave anyone. I am telling you what is best. I am coming to Delhi. Let's talk in detail when I am there. 01:08:48:06 - 01:08:59:13 Whatever is happening is not right. Accepting money was a big mistake. God will never forgive me. 01:09:02:19 - 01:09:25:14 Believe in the Lord. Have faith in him. We have faith in the Lord. Jesus took the bread and broke it. He gave it to his disciples and said, “This is my body which will be given up for you”. 01:09:49:13 - 01:09:54:17 May the Almighty bless you all. Amen 01:09:58:08 - 01:10:01:16 After Rafiq’s bail, Cecilia’s husband was back in the village. 01:10:02:22 - 01:10:08:05 Under constant pressure from him, Cecilia decided to withdraw the case against Rafiq also. 01:10:10:07 - 01:10:15:08 I think she did not have the strength any more to find out the truth about her daughter’s suicide. 01:10:16:21 - 01:10:23:00 I call upon Kailash Satyarthi to come forward to receive the gold medal and the diploma. 01:10:42:22 - 01:11:17:07 I have come here only to share the voices and dreams of our children. 20 years ago I met a small skinny child labourer. He asked me,”Is the world so poor that it cannot give me a toy and a book”? “Instead of forcing me to take a gun or a tool”. Friends, there is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children. 01:11:35:19 - 01:11:36:13 Hello 01:11:37:01 - 01:11:47:06 Hello Madam. I am Jyoti’s mother. I wanted to speak to her. She will be happy to hear my voice. 01:11:47:22 - 01:11:50:10 Jyoti, come fast. Your mother is on the line 01:11:52:07 - 01:11:53:00 Hello 01:11:53:01 - 01:11:54:13 How are you my child? Doing well? 01:11:54:22 - 01:11:59:02 I am good. How are you? 01:11:54:22 -01:11:59:02 I am good too 01:11:59:03 - 01:12:02:14 I am coming to pick you up. 01:12:03:09 - 01:12:06:22 Pick me? 01:12:03:09 - 01:12:06:22 - Yeah, we will go back to the village. 01:12:07:03 - 01:12:10:09 When will you reach? 01:12:07:03 -01:12:10:09 Saturday 01:12:12:01 -01:12:16:07 Saturday? 01:12:12:01 -01:12:16:07 Yeah, Saturday. Pack your bag and be ready. 01:12:17:08 - 01:12:18:10 Ok 01:12:45:07 - 01:12:50:06 A new future awaited Cecilia. But she was scared of the villagers. 01:12:57:01 - 01:13:00:10 Me and Sunaina knew that we had to make this one last trip as well. 01:13:31:21 - 01:13:34:11 Cecilia had a very cold reception at the village. 01:13:37:00 - 01:13:39:02 There was no one at her house. 01:13:44:09 - 01:13:47:15 -Cecilia? What happened? 01:13:44:09 - 01:13:47:15 -Nothing 01:14:00:11 - 01:14:04:15 And then… I saw Cecilia’s husband for the first time. 01:14:22:14 - 01:14:24:18 The villagers had called for a meeting. 01:14:28:04 - 01:14:31:07 They wanted to punish Cecilia for filing a police complaint. 01:14:35:07 - 01:14:38:19 Cecilia had asked the Father of the local Church to play the mediator. 01:14:39:23 - 01:15:12:05 We are here to discuss the case that she lodged in Delhi for her daughter. We should not stretch the matter and the guilty people should ask for forgiveness. All of us should discuss the issues openly. 01:15:01:03 - 01:15:12:05 We are hurt because she got us involved in police case when we went to Delhi. The police threatened us. 01:15:14:18 - 01:15:39:11 They were constantly telling me that Rafiq is God. Don’t file the case. They offered me money to stay quiet. I was not able to save my daughter. But I didn’t want other daughters of the village to go through the same. So I lodged the case. 01:15:40:18 - 01:16:11:02 We should be praying for the soul of Mati to rest in peace. You guys are all related to each other. So why fight? Cecilia why don’t you say sorry and lay everything to rest? 01:16:02:05 - 01:16:11:02 She should ask for forgiveness. We could not even sleep because of the fear of police. 01:16:12:13 - 01:16:31:17 Fine. If everyone thinks that I was at fault, then I am sorry. I just wanted to find out the truth. I will ask the police not to bother you again. 01:16:36:04 - 01:16:42:05 A mother having to say sorry for wanting to get justice for her daughter. Things had come full circle. 01:16:46:12 - 01:16:52:01 I did not know how to react. But I guess deep inside I knew what will happen at the village. 01:17:29:06 - 01:17:33:01 The next morning, there was a dance of sorrow to commemorate Mati’s death. 01:18:43:03 - 01:18:58:18 We have gathered here today to pray for Mati Murmu who lost her life in Delhi. May her soul rest in peace. 01:19:00:04 - 01:19:14:02 You who take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You who sit at the right hand of the Father, have a mercy on us. You alone are the Lord. You alone, O Jesus Christ, are most high. Together with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen. 01:19:16:05 - 01:19:19:04 The day Cecilia was most looking forward to was finally here. 01:19:20:14 - 01:19:23:00 The day she would take her elder daughter back home. 01:19:28:00 - 01:19:34:16 Now that Thomas was away from the village, I thought I will get answers to the questions that were disturbing me. 01:19:35:21 - 01:19:53:05 Cecilia did not know that Rafiq's men had taken you. So we came to the village and filed a complaint that you had been kidnapped. But then you came back and told the police that you went on your own. Why did you do that? 01:20:00:24 - 01:20:03:00 Who brought you here to give this statement to the police? 01:20:03:08 - 01:20:04:19 Rafiq's brother. 01:20:07:20 - 01:20:11:17 You asked Cecilia to withdraw the case against Rafiq? 01:20:12:15 - 01:20:17:14 Yeah. When I came back to the village, I told her to finish everything. 01:20:18:02 - 01:20:18:21 Why? 01:20:20:24 - 01:20:27:24 What was the point of dragging the case? What was the point? 01:20:44:00 - 01:20:55:22 Look, your mother. That’s how you greet your mother? Go ahead. You will be going home now. 01:21:01:13 - 01:21:05:01 A part of me was relieved that finally Cecilia had a closure. 01:21:06:11 - 01:21:12:00 But a part of me felt guilty that I was leaving Cecilia to a village which has treated her so badly. 01:21:15:02 - 01:21:18:08 But then, it was Cecilia’s world not mine. 01:21:22:16 - 01:21:36:02 Cecilia returned to her village with her daughter on 25th April. To ease her pain, she became heavily dependent on alcohol. She passed away on 7th January 2016.
