Daayra Challenges India’s Ideas of Justice, Procedure and Police Power

Daayra is a film about how police and courts handle serious crimes against women.

Two police officers disagree about whether suspects should be punished quickly or handled through the courts.

A woman’s family first struggles to get help when she goes missing.

Police procedures and arguments about jurisdiction slow down the response.

The film shows that the woman’s family wants to find her, not just receive paperwork.

It also shows people celebrating after police kill the suspects.

The story asks whether that kind of quick punishment is really justice.

It explains that courts can feel slow, but they are meant to establish guilt fairly.

The film says the system should listen and respond urgently before tragedy happens.
