Arjun's POV:
Finally, the day of the court hearing arrived. Daksha couldn't rest peacefully because of the hearing.
She had been pretty nervous about the outcome because she already experienced failure once and lost a precious person in her life.
I couldn't do anything except for assuring her that nothing would go wrong.
I was in the court along with Indra to discuss the last-minute details. Daksha, along with mom, Grandpa, and her whole family entered the court as the time for the hearing was getting nearer.
I just nodded at them and greeted them briefly before involving myself in a talk with Indra and saw that Aditya was guiding them inside the waiting room.
Rahul too came and went inside along with his lawyer after glaring at me and I smirked at him slightly.
Well, anyone in his place would get angry because he lost his family's support to use their influence to get out of this pit and even his company was also in huge shackles.
It was like he was playing the game even when he knew he was going to lose.
Indra and I went inside too. Soon, the entry of the judge was announced and after all the initial formalities, the official trial began.
"Prosecutor, you may make the opening statements," I immediately bowed my head at him in greetings.
"Your honor, the defendant, Mr.Rahul, is accused of killing my client's acquaintance Swathi and her own sister-in-law, Tejaswi. In addition to those accusations, I have some proof to support the claims of him being involved in child and women trafficking. So, let me start with Ms. Swathi's case first, "
I explained and saw that the judge nodded at me before asking the defendant's lawyer to make his opening statements. After he was done, I started telling my claims.
"Ms. Swathi used to work as a maid in Mr.Rahul's house. One fine day, when there was no one at home, Mr. Rahul forced himself on her and raped her brutally. He even threatened her to not say anything about this matter to anyone but Ms. Swathi informed her parents with the hope that they might support her. Instead of supporting her, they shunned her into silence.
"Later, Ms. Swathi found herself pregnant and when he came to know about it, he forcefully took her to the hospital to abort the baby where my client Daksha was working as a doctor. At the hospital, Mr. Rahul was involved in an argument with my client and her friend. It's better if we hear everything from my client itself,"
I briefly suggested. When the judge gave his approval, Daksha was escorted to the podium. She came and stood there nervously. When I smiled at her discreetly in an assuring manner, she nodded at me before starting to narrate the happenings.
"Everything that the prosecutor has said is correct. That day, I went to my friend's department to meet her but I got to witness him arguing with my friend. From their words, I got to know that he was forcing Swathi to abort the baby against her will.
