IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO KILL A CHILDโ€ฆ

The Indian village of Teetarpur is a quiet, unremarkable place, until one of its children is found dead, hanging from the branch of a Jamun tree.

In the largely Hindu community, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslim man, Mansoor.

Itโ€™s up to local policeman Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh to uncover the truth. With only one assistant officer, and a single working revolver between them, can he bring justice to a grieving father and an angry villageโ€•or will the people of Teetarpur demand vengeance instead?
