Title: "The Silent Witness"
Genre: Crime | Thriller | Psychological Drama
Setting: Mumbai
---
[OPENING SCENE]
A warm morning sun washes over a quiet upscale neighborhood in South Mumbai. But inside Flat 14-B, chaos reigns.
A woman's body lies motionless on the marble floor — blood trailing from a stab wound. Nearby, crouched in a corner with a bloodstained soft toy, is a 7-year-old girl. She doesn't cry. She doesn't move. Her wide, blank eyes stare at the corpse. She is in shock.
The camera zooms into her face — a haunting silence lingers.

[SCENE 1 — CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION]
Location: Flat 14-B, Malabar Hill
Black Squad arrives at the crime scene — Imran Wani, Zoya Khan, and Arjun Rathore, joined by newly appointed forensic head Dr. R.P. Gupta.
Zoya kneels beside the girl. "What's your name, beta?"
No answer. The girl clutches her teddy bear tightly.
Imran looks at the corpse. The victim is Ananya Sinha, a 34-year-old single mother, CEO of a tech startup. No signs of forced entry.
"She knew her killer," Arjun mutters, surveying the flat.
Dr. R.P. Gupta checks the wound. "One stab wound, no struggle. Precision. The killer was calm… maybe personal."
The girl — Anaya's daughter, Diya — is the only witness.
---
[SCENE 2 — AT HQ]
ACP Sulaiman Qazi reviews the crime board. "We have a silent witness. We need to listen to what she can't say."
Zoya, who has a natural empathy, takes the lead with Diya.
"She has selective mutism. Trauma-induced," explains a guest child psychologist, Dr. Ayesha Merchant, brought in by the Ministry of Child Welfare. "She can speak. But she won't — not until she feels safe."
Imran watches as Zoya draws with Diya using crayons and paper. The first image: a red figure, stick arms raised like claws, standing over a smaller one.
"Is that… your mother?" Zoya asks softly. Diya says nothing.
Imran's face tightens. "We follow the art."
---
[SCENE 3 — INVESTIGATION BEGINS]
Arjun digs into Ananya's professional life. Multiple rivalries, pending lawsuits, and a rejected acquisition deal. One name stands out — Rajat Sinha, Ananya's estranged brother and ex-business partner.
Zoya and Imran interview Rajat. He's calm, smirking. "I hadn't spoken to Ananya in months. I was out of town."
Alibi: A business retreat in Lonavala.
Arjun checks surveillance footage. Rajat was in the city the night of the murder — caught on a traffic cam near Malabar Hill.
Qazi's voice booms: "He's lying."
---
[SCENE 4 — THE CHILD'S CLUES]
Zoya shows Diya a photo of Rajat.
No reaction.
Then Imran shows her an item found at the scene: a watch with a cracked face, initialed "R.S."
Diya's hand trembles. She points at the red stick figure again.
Imran kneels beside her. "Is he the one who hurt your mom?"
Diya finally nods… once.
---
[SCENE 5 — TWIST AND TENSION]
But there's a twist. Dr. R.P. Gupta runs DNA from the blood under Ananya's nails. It's not Rajat's.
"It's… a woman's DNA," he says, surprised.
Zoya reanalyzes Diya's latest drawing — now two figures in red.
A chilling realization dawns — Diya saw TWO people that night.
Qazi assembles the team. "It wasn't just a family betrayal… it was a setup."
---
[SCENE 6 — REVELATION]
The second suspect: Maya Sinha, Rajat's wife — who hated Ananya for cutting her out of a major business deal. Maya and Rajat planned the murder together.
Motive: Greed. They'd inherit control of the company through Diya.
Black Squad traps them in a sting operation.
Maya and Rajat are arrested — but Diya watches from behind the safety of Zoya's arms. This time… a single tear runs down her cheek.
---
[SCENE 7 — EMOTIONAL ENDING]
At HQ, Qazi watches Diya with quiet admiration.
Zoya sits with her one last time. "You were very brave."
Diya finally looks up. Her voice — fragile, tiny — breaks the silence:
> "I miss Mama."
Zoya hugs her gently. Imran quietly walks away, eyes moist.
---
[FINAL SCENE]
Qazi updates the Ministry in a video report.
> "Black Squad solved the case not just with guns and grit… but with humanity. Sometimes, the loudest scream is silence."
Camera pans over the whiteboard — one more case closed.
The final shot: Diya drawing a new picture — of Zoya, Imran, Arjun, and Qazi holding her hands. This time, the colors are bright.
