Sandeep Bhaiya | Web Series | EP 05 Finale | Believe

Khushiram ji, how many more trips do I need to make? Yes. I've been out since morning. An accident can happen to anyone and anywhere. Shouldn't the electricity board understand this? Can't get hold of the contractor. And the union is also worried. Isn't there any way out? Any other place we can go to? 'Labour Department Office, Uttar Pradesh' Bhaiya, why on earth have we come here? Dad worked for the electricity board. It's the labour department's job to get justice for any worker of any board.

Don't worry. I'll handle everything. You sit here. I'll be back. Her husband was a driver. While coming home after working overtime, he died in an accident. To deny the compensation, they are now alleging that he was drunk driving. But the post-mortem report states otherwise, sir. He still has three years until his retirement, sir. He just trembled a little at work and they fired him without any notice. Sir, my kids are still in school. They are very sincere. They get good marks. But now, I can'

t get them educated further. Don't worry. The Labour Department is here to help you. Okay? You will certainly get justice. We'll be very grateful to you, sir. Okay. You may go. Sir. Electricity board is it. We don't get electricity but we keep getting cases. Nanku Valmiki. -Was he a contractual worker? -Yes. What does the contractor say? Did you speak to him? The contractor refuses to listen. Which is why we have come here. And the union? You must have spoken to the union, right? This is a claim

for compensation of 5 lakh rupees. For this big an amount, the union would have already sent us letters by now. I spoke to the union people. They said they have already sent a letter here. Who knows where it's gathering dust. We trust you. So, if you could kindly help us. All right. Let me see what I can do. Come the day after tomorrow. Okay? Go on, dear. Don't worry. I'll do it. Hello, Khushiram ji. I've submitted the application at the Labour office. Yes. But honestly, I don't like their atti

tude. -Yes. -Hi, bhaiya. But why? That's where even the union people send letters, right? Look, here comes your dashing prince. -Dad. -Sandeep. I see you have lost some weight. Your mom has sent homemade ghee. I've brought some other eatables too. -Shall I serve you lunch? -Okay. Dad, how come all of a sudden? Well, I thought that you can't come but I can. So, I came. What's wrong, son? Aren't you happy to see me? It's nothing like that, uncle. Actually, he's a bit stressed these days because of

his studies. I see. How are mom and Ritu? Everybody is fine. You just keep your focus on your exams. And how is Kusum? First, tell me, when are you going to Delhi? It has been so many days since your Prelims result has come. Only two months left now for your Mains, son. When are you going to leave for Rajendranagar? Dad, I'm still under professional commitment. I've to work at the coaching for some more time. It's the question of so many students' future too. And what about your future, son? Th

e Mains is only two months away. I just want to know when you are leaving for Rajendranagar. I will, dad. I'll leave soon. I need to finish some work. I'll see you in the evening. Take dad to see the Sangam ghat. At least have lunch and go. I'll eat after I'm back, dad. Good. I like your punctuality. I'm preparing for the Mains. You understand, don't you? Where did Sandeep go so early in the morning? He told you, right? He has to finish some coaching work before leaving. Or else he won't get his

salary. The tea is good, isn't it? But why is he reading books on law nowadays? I mean, have they changed the option this time? I need some more sugar in the tea. I'll just go and get it. Sir. Oh, mister, it's you. I reviewed your application. This is an open and shut case. Can't send it forward for any more scrutiny. How can you say that? Did you even check all the factors before rejecting our file? This level of injury is clearly eligible for an accidental claim. Open and shut case, my foot!

Tell me what has to be done. I've read the file. But I have a question. Was he wearing his uniform at that time? Or did he just go in his undershirt to repair the fault? Jacket, helmet, rubber gloves, was he wearing all that? -He was wearing everything. -Even if he was, we'll still need a testimony. Sir, the accident happened at 7:45 pm. Whereas, her father was on duty only till 7:00 pm. There you go. That means, technically, he was not on duty. Yes, sir. That's what I also told them. Oh, no! Ch

ildren were studying for their exams and suddenly the power went off. This kind man couldn't bear it. So, are you going to punish him for being kind? The thing is that scrutiny is done on the basis of facts. Not on the basis of emotions. Just because an accident takes place a few minutes later, does the law change? The law doesn't change. But the decisions change. We also have a responsibility, you see. We'll conduct an investigation. Okay? Not to worry. We'll do an inquiry. You're banging your

head on a wall, bhaiya. Let it go. Look at Bhim ji here. He's fighting his case for 6 years now. Right, Bhim ji? I sold tickets at a cinema theatre for 15 years. But when multiplexes came, single-screen theatres started shutting down and all of a sudden, I was unemployed. No compensation nor any notice. They said it wasn't a permanent job. So, obviously, I didn't get a PF. It's the same even in the government departments, Bhim ji. Now, see. On completion of five years, you get a gratuity. Which

is why many jobs are on contract only for 4 years and 11 months. And after that, lay-offs. But these officers, they get all the perks and benefits. And if we dare to question it, then they call us demons who provoke the public. Right? You see, Bhim ji, balance doesn't work everywhere. That's precisely why I also slapped a legal case on them. Yes. But the outcome? You're stuck in the endless loop of court dates. I'd rather not say much. Give me one tea. Listen, every case has its own merit. There

may be many such cases of contractual employees' compensation. I'm sure there's some way out. Is he for real, Bhim ji? Are even court cases being evaluated here now? It's damn difficult for a contractual employee to get compensation. The thing is that it's not conceptual clarity but legal facts that matter here. I'm sure you must have read the Workmen's Compensation Act. For compensation, a worker must be on duty. On duty means during working hours. -Nanku wasn't on duty. -But he was at his wor

kplace. Everything is a play of words. I tell you. Just like his subjective exam. But, well, who can dare to give more wisdom to Mr. Know-It-All? Right? -You certainly can. -What did you just say? About that Workmen's Act. -The Workmen's Compensation Act. -After that. Workplace? Yes. Can you tell me about this law? What are the conditions in it? The only condition is that he/she must be a registered labourer. Rest all is there on the government website. Was Nanku a registered labourer? That's it

then. Now, we just need to check if he was on an official shift or not. That day it was Santosh's shift from 5:00 pm. But he quit the job a day earlier. We did mention it in the report that we sent to the department. But it went unnoticed. Great. So, now, we can say that due to a lack of staff, Nanku had to extend his shift timing by a few hours. That's the truth anyway. You sleep, dad. I'll sleep in some time. Sir. You again? I told you we're still investigating. -Come after one week. -The inv

estigation is done, sir. Here is the full report with the details of the Workmen's Compensation Act. You may read it. I know the Act very well. And compensation money isn't disbursed that easily. You marched out like a lone fighter. Do you even know anything about this case? I mean, get some more people with you. Gather a good 8-10 people. The more the number of people, the more will be the compensation amount. Then things will move. What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Only a crowd has

value? Is there no value of a man's life? To hell with a dead man. Is this the attitude of the labour department? Sir, the ADM is coming with the ALC. They are on the way. Move, move aside. The ADM coming. Take this. Get back. Sir, they have been given instructions. Our department will take action on all the complaints. We shall see to it that... ADM sir! Sir. Your report is absolutely thorough. It's an open and shut case, sir. As per the Workmen's Compensation Act, you'll surely get compensatio

n. And we'll also get the contractor to pay you the damages. Additionally, all your medical expenses will also get reimbursed. This is a 100% disability case, sir. I know. But what do we do about this officer? Look, labourers have high expectations from you. If you keep neglecting them like this, then what will happen? Sir, we didn't neglect them. We were reviewing the files. Reviewing the files? At this pace? If every citizen of this nation is required to study books of law, it means we are fai

ling at our jobs. You are being given a show-cause notice. For stalling the compensation file and harassing the applicants. Is that clear? Be assured, sir. We will bring 100% transparency to our entire system. Yes, of course. I fully trust you, ALC sir. I trust you. Remain seated. Please sit. -Sandeep Ohlan. -Yes, sir. Aarushi Valmiki. When I met you both for the first time, I knew right then that both of you are responsible citizens. But people like you who take responsibilities without any pow

er, I feel proud when I see that. If you remember, I had told you the first time too that civil service is in great need of people like you. Find a way to become a part of this. All the best. Do you still have no faith in the system? Bhaiya, now, I have understood. That it's the people who make the system. So then? All set for the Mains now? Yes, I will do it. But with my own hard work. I'm not that selfish to use this money for my preparation. This is only for dad's treatment. But yes. I'll sur

ely prepare for the Mains. Thank you, bhaiya. Thank you for everything. I was going to quit everything and run away. But I learned from you that it's important to face things. I understand what you're saying, Ritika. But it's not that easy to face things. I will turn 25 next year. Do you know what that means? My parents are already pressurizing me for marriage. But what about your dreams? Why don't you try reasoning with them once? And what do I say to them? -Even they are... -They are what? Und

er societal pressure, right? The pressure to get their daughter married. Whether she'll get married or not. All this, right? I understand your pressure. But look, UPSC is not just an aspirant's preparation. An aspirant's entire family plays a part in it. Every day, every moment. But the truth is that parents do end up putting pressure on their children. Correct? But, Mr. Sandeep, we do it for their future. What is future? Does anyone know? Look at this girl. Can anyone tell me what her future is

? What if she doesn't clear UPSC for two more years? Dial your father's number. Hello. Am I speaking to Nidhi's father? Yes. That's me. What happened? Is she all right? She is absolutely fine. This is Aarushi Valmiki speaking. She is with me. She's a little worried. UPSC journey is not easy. So, she's a bit nervous. Do you know why? Because she thinks that if she doesn't get through... Why won't she? If she perseveres and works hard, she'll definitely clear it. And until when will you let her wo

rk hard and persevere? One year? Two years? Three years or maybe four? And what after that? You'll succumb to societal mindset and societal wishes, right? So, one doesn't need to spend one's whole life pursuing UPSC, right? I'm not talking about UPSC. It's about her dreams. My dream was to give my father a very good life. Show him around the world after becoming an IFS officer. But you know, the day I got commissioned, one week before that, he passed away. I couldn't take him anywhere outside Pr

ayagraj. Perhaps, this thing will always gnaw at my heart. But I am proud of the fact that my father never succumbed to societal pressure. He always used to say that one should have aspirations and not limitations. There's no time limit to make dreams come true. You have supported her to the best of your capacity. Now, just let her focus. There's no failure here. Here, there's either success or learning. You are right. Nidhi, dear. There's no hurry. Take your time. Why didn't you tell me about y

our father? He was recovering, wasn't he? Then what happened all of a sudden? After some time, his condition started worsening again when I had gone for my training. You know, he always used to talk about you. Which is why I invited you here. I thought that he isn't with me anymore but those who are, I can share my life's joys and sorrows with them. I have something that belongs to you and I wanted to return it. Dad. Dad, are you leaving? What else should I do? You hardly have any time to spend

with your father. That's not true, dad. I was occupied with an urgent matter. Who was that girl? Is this your preparation for the Mains? This is how you'll become an IAS? Dad, it was essential to get that girl justice. Her father is bedridden for life. And what about your father? Your family? And Kusum? You didn't think about her? Dad, you are mistaken. Yes, son. I am certainly mistaken. It's been five years. Five long years waiting for you. Hoping that you'll become an officer any day now. We g

ave you as many chances as you wanted. You even stopped talking to me. But I didn't mind. I thought that you're my son, you're naive, so, never mind. But now, when such a crucial exam is up ahead, this is what you're doing? If not for me, son, at least think for your own good. Dad. I am sorry. What? What are you saying, son? I lied to you, dad. Tell me clearly. What's wrong? Dad, I couldn't clear my Prelims this time. I've betrayed everyone, dad. You, mom, Kusum and even myself. Dad, I'm sorry.

Please forgive me. Please don't go. Forgive me, dad. I couldn't get through. I couldn't do it, dad. What are you saying? You don't know what you have made me do. Oh, God. Kusum. Kusum. What's wrong with Kusum? -Tell me. Don't scare me. -You didn't just lie to me. You made me lie as well, Sandeep. What happened to Kusum, dad? Kusum is getting married, son. She gave up on you. Kusum has left you and gone. Dad, don't joke with me right now. Stop joking, dad. Tell me the truth. You had promised me y

ou'd manage all this. You had, hadn't you? I did manage. I kept her waiting for five long years. I kept everyone waiting. But this time, when you said that you'd be preparing again, Kusum's father refused to wait anymore. What other choice did poor Kusum have? She's a girl, after all. Then why didn't you tell me earlier? When you knew it, you should have told me, dad. How could you let this happen? I wanted to tell you, son. But when you said that you cleared your Prelims, I thought, no, this is

n't the right time to tell you. You won't be able to prepare for the Mains. And then, son, your dream... My dream? What are you saying, dad? Was it only my dream? Was it not yours? Was it not mom's? Was it not Kusum's? Had it come true, then it would have been everyone's dream. But now it's not, so, it's only my dream? How can you say that, dad? What have you done, dad? Forgive me. Forgive your father if you can, son. I made a mistake. I'm really sorry. You had pawned your engagement ring for my

studies. What were you thinking, bhaiya? That I won't come to know? Thank you for everything, bhaiya. Listen. As soon as we reach Rohtak, first, we will go to my village, Dabri. And then proceed further. Okay, sir. Dad.
