Sudigundalu Story
Justice Chandra Shekar is a man of righteousness who shelters the families of the criminals he convicts and treats them as his own. These families, in turn, shower affection on his only son, Raja. One day, Raja suddenly goes missing, causing panic. Tragically, he is later found dead. A serious police investigation reveals that two youths, Vikram Kumar and Sandhya Rani, children of wealthy and influential families, murdered Raja merely for fun. Their powerful parents attempt to use money and influence to protect them, but their efforts fail.
At this juncture, Chandra Shekar dons the pleader’s robes and defends the young culprits in court—not to acquit them, but to uncover the real motive behind the crime. His revelations shock the entire court. He argues that these children became spoiled brats due to lack of proper parental care and guidance. His plea warns of the cultural and moral decay that future generations may face if parents neglect their role. In the end, Chandra Shekar affirms that parents must play a key role in raising their children as responsible citizens. With these words, he breathes his last in the courtroom, moving the court to change its judgment.
