[00:00:00] Speaker 1: For the record, this is a two-second video. So, I'm stopping at one second. Mr. Bhatt, this is a video that Mafta sent to you, correct? [00:00:38] Mr. Bhatt: Which one I don't recall. Similar, some sort of video she sent me, but I don't recall which one. [00:00:47] Speaker 1: This is what Mafta's right eye looked like in December of 2023? [00:00:53] Mr. Bhatt: Yes. She has something here as well. I don't see that somewhere, somewhere around here. [00:00:58] Speaker 1: That's her face swollen. [00:01:00] Mr. Bhatt: No, black spot at that time. That's what I recall, not 100%, something I see like that. [00:01:05] Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a bruise, right? The red one? Yeah, the redness coming out of her eye, that's a bruise. Again, sir, you're certified life-saving measures, correct? [00:01:19] Mr. Bhatt: I don't know the bruise or not, but like the rato dags. I don't know if it's bruise or what, but I see there's a red mark in there. I don't know the exact meaning of bruise. I don't know. Exact meaning of bruise, I don't know the exact meaning of bruise. Okay, I'm going to ask you to put the mic up so that when you're speaking in English, the jurors can hear you. I don't know the exact meaning of the bruise. [00:01:41] Speaker 1: Blood vessels have broken in her eye from making an impact with something, correct? That's a bruise? [00:01:48] Mr. Bhatt: Yes.

[00:04:42] Mr. Bhatt: My mom is saying tomorrow or day after tomorrow, I have to go something like that. [00:05:02] Speaker 1: Where is Mata in this video? Is she in the house? [00:05:06] Mr. Bhatt: I cannot see on the background. It looks like a little bit more. I can see the windows, but I don't know where the windows are exactly. [00:05:23] Speaker 1: That's the master bedroom, correct? [00:05:27] Mr. Bhatt: Can you... A little bit more? Yes. [00:05:32] Speaker 1: Look to the right... Yes. ...of Mata's left ear. Yes, I see that. That's the white bathtub? [00:05:38] Mr. Bhatt: I see that. [00:05:39] Speaker 1: That's the bathtub that you dropped Mata into, correct? [00:05:42] Mr. Bhatt: I see that. [00:05:44] Speaker 1: So this is in your house? [00:05:46] Mr. Bhatt: Yes. [00:05:47] Speaker 1: Your mom can clearly be heard in this video? [00:05:50] Mr. Bhatt: Yes. [00:05:50] Speaker 1: Where are you? [00:05:52] Mr. Bhatt: I was in the master room. [00:05:55] Speaker 1: So when did Mata, according to you, fall down and get this injury? [00:06:02] Mr. Bhatt: Evening somewhere. Like she sent me the picture first and then video, picture, everything. And then it was evening. I don't recall the exact time. Seven, eight, nine, something like eight. Between eight to nine, something like that. [00:06:13] Speaker 1: She didn't just send you a picture. She sent you one, two, three, plus... Yes. ...two videos. Yes. This is her just documenting an accident when she falls down the stairs? [00:06:38] Speaker 3: Could you repeat the question one more time? [00:06:40] Speaker 1: Mata went through a lot of efforts to document this. Would you agree with me on that? [00:06:49] Mr. Bhatt: Actually, it's a little bit of a little bit of a little bit. Okay. [00:06:50] Speaker ?: Okay. Okay. [00:06:51] Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. [00:06:51] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:06:51] Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. Okay. [00:06:51] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:06:51] Speaker 3: Okay. Okay.

[00:06:56] Speaker 1: Yes. Mata sent you two photos, a video, made another video, made another photo. Mata went through great lengths to make sure this gets preserved forever. Looks like yes. And you're saying she's created all this? [00:07:19] Speaker 3: All this evidence to document an accident? [00:07:31] Mr. Bhatt: Whatever that happened, I wasn't even there. That not happened on the upstairs. That happened in the downstairs. [00:07:40] Speaker 1: Okay. I just have to ask the question before I move on. You did this to her, right? [00:07:44] Mr. Bhatt: No. [00:07:45] Speaker 1: You're going to just stand by that and you never put your hands on her? [00:07:49] Mr. Bhatt: Never. [00:07:50] Speaker 1: Okay. She was creating documentation subject to interpretation. [00:07:57] Mr. Bhatt: I don't know that. [00:07:58] Speaker 1: If Mata was here, what would she say about this? [00:08:01] Mr. Bhatt: She might going to say the truth. [00:08:03] Speaker 1: She's going to say that she recorded herself after falling down a flight of stairs. [00:08:15] Mr. Bhatt: Should we? [00:08:16] Speaker 1: I'm going to move on from this. I'm going to hand it 460 to the court. [00:08:35] Speaker 3: Yes, 459 right there as well. It's the thumb drive right by your left hand.
