But those who belong to a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe, they are told to stand in a corner, only for the waiting cops to pick them up as suspects in the many cases that remain unsolved in their station. If they mention a dominant caste's name, they are asked to leave. As each prisoner comes out, he is asked for his caste. A few cops from the surrounding police stations are waiting. We see many prisoners being let out of prison. This scene is an echo of the scene that opens the film. These people are clearly damned if they did, and damned if they didn't. A young boy mentions that the police picked him up just because they could not get his father, and how that one incident made him a perennial suspect at school. A woman narrates how her husband was forced to 'confess' to a crime which he had not committed after the cops started molesting her. Another tells him about how he was arrested just because he tried to slink away fearing them. One man tells him that he was once arrested by cops just for greeting them. In a scene in Jai Bhim, a group of tribals man meet a police office who is heading an inquiry commission about the disappearance of three missing tribals who were being interrogated by the police about a theft case.
