द स्केपगोट (बलि का बकरा)
The Scapegoat
Navin drops off his younger brother Prithvi at their tuition master Shankar's
house. A few hours later, when Prithvi's mother goes to pick him up from
tuition, she finds out that he never went there. The police are informed and
an investigation begins. The first suspect is Navin, who claims that he left
Prithvi at the entrance of Shankar's house, as he had promised to go inside by
himself.

Prithvi's parents also suspect Navin, and the police suspect him as well
because there is already tension between the families. After Prithvi's
grandfather's death, a large portion of the property was transferred to
Prithvi's name, with nothing in Navin's name. Before Navin accepts the truth,
the police beat him brutally, but he still sticks to his statement.

Meanwhile, Shankar is also considered a suspect by the police, but he denies
any involvement with complete confidence. Shankar lives with his wife, younger
brother, sister-in-law, and their son Vivek. Shankar scolds Vivek for wasting
his time playing with friends, which has caused him to fail twice in the 10th
grade. Shankar tries to help him improve.
Some time later, Prithvi's homework note is found hanging from a tree near his
house. The police investigate and find a message written in Hindi demanding
ten lakhs (one million) rupees. Before this, Prithvi's father had revealed
that Shankar had previously demanded a loan of fifteen lakhs (one and a half
million) rupees, which they had refused. The police arrive at Shankar's house
with a search warrant.
During the search, the police find Prithvi's body in Shankar's storage room.
Shankar and his wife Rupa are arrested, and the investigation begins. During
the investigation, the police also find out that Vivek had once attempted
su!c!de due to Shankar's constant scolding. Shankar admits that Vivek had
stolen one thousand rupees from him, after which he had beaten him up.
