A boy offers a lift to a girl in the middle of the night. Hours later, the girl is found dead, with no clues about the killer. Who murdered her? And who is this boy who gave her the lift? Let's dive into this thrilling mystery.
Let's start:-
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFTMZm1ZMo
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t7pzBNhSS
He doesn’t own a bike. His dream is to buy a bike and eventually set up his own departmental store. To achieve this dream, Gopi is saving money little by little.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0PlZzBlWX
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxBG54RFBa
One night, Gopi went out for a delivery. The delivery time was 11:00PM, but that night it was raining heavily. The delivery was delayed. By the time he finished and started heading back home, it was 1:00AM.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYFKaguQP4
Heavy rain, darkness on the road, no lights. At that time, there was a girl on the road. Her car had a problem, and she was looking for help (a lift).
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEfQC7V8Ao
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzQ2M91hhH
1:00AM… it was raining. Gopi agreed to give her a ride. He didn’t know why, but he felt that the girl had an some special attraction.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z7SY2VZ9r
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS2Or33jtD
Gopi, as a gesture of help, dropped the girl at Sunshine Apartments and went on his way. That night ended in the silent atmosphere of rain.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VaPk9jZ6R
The next day:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDVsBkAKlJ
Gopi was busy with his work. While getting ready to leave for another delivery, suddenly a police jeep stopped in front of him. Unexpectedly, the police stopped Gopi and took him to the station.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RAeznZn3h
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw7m7ANWlY
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1lbiNsxVR
In the interrogation room, in a dark room with just one bulb’s light, Gopi’s hands were tied behind his back. The SI asked Gopi – “Why did you kill that girl?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2brCWwp8x
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Dl3aPAFJ
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHooJjbqzfN
“Sir, I don’t know who that girl was! She just asked for a lift, and I gave her a ride out of pity in the rain. I didn’t do anything!” – Gopi said.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJybjxEtbEX
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhhETVULir
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjslAAOCmtY
At the sunshine apartment:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYY9nul5Fe
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzIlclvBZL
In the bathtub…
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lAtOdYIbL
Anita… was lying silent in the bathtub, with blood… a tragic sight. The cuts and blood near her throat and the bloodstains all around the bathroom added to the terrifying atmosphere.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hBT1dpWiv
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7W8J46yD1
The police checked each room one by one: hall, kitchen, bedroom. They were trying to see if anyone had come in or gone out. Some clues suggested suicide, but they had their doubts.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHJA3ch13S
At the back of Anita’s room near the staircase, a torn piece of cloth was found – it looked like part of a shirt. And in the back of the apartment, they found some footprints. The police collected all the evidence and sent it for forensic testing.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfHULoR4QK
Forensic Report Findings:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG8wGF9czA
Shirt cloth: Part of a man’s garment.
Footprints: Around 5.5 inches (a bit larger than a typical woman’s foot, but still possible). The police used these to estimate the suspect’s height and weight.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJUBRORp5w
The police gathered all the pieces of the case, tracing back to where Anita had gone and whom she’d met in the week leading up to her death. They were investigating her phone call history, friends, family – leaving no one out.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfNiqc9nAI
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFStA7H859
That night:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3OxGytFBq
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrw8uMlel4
Her ex-boyfriend Rahul also showed up. Rahul and Anita had been lovers since college, but that love story had ended in a dark place.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FgCbwJya8
Rahul had taken money from Anita and lost it all betting on cricket matches. When Anita found out, she left Rahul behind and started a new life.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTus7Qv7hR1
But at the party, seeing Rahul again brought back a flood of memories for Anita. The atmosphere, Rahul’s looks they made her very uneasy. So she left the party, saying she wasn’t feeling well.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdG6Kv4Uxt
On her way back, her car broke down. That night, in the dark rain, Anita was terrified. She waited for help. At that moment, Gopi appeared on his bike and offered her a lift home.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7wY71EjmG
Present Day:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFQSrcRB6y
The police interrogation deepened. The atmosphere in the police station grew tense. Alongside Gopi, Rahul and Komal’s statements were also coming out one by one. The police were interrogating each of them, but it was still unclear whose words hid the real truth.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKcJWObpsR
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hBAvHfbte
Komal: “Sir, I saw Anita for the first time at the marriage proposal meeting. I don’t know much about her friends. That day, she said she wasn’t feeling well and left the party early.”
Komal seemed to be telling the truth. But the police still had their doubts.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7fkoqnmtF
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE908aM0YW
Rahul: “Sir, it’s true I went to the party to congratulate her. We were lovers in college. Sir, Anita helped me many times with money, but I lost it in betting. I cheated her and couldn’t save that love.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3bKyyzhqM
“When she left the party, I left too.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyBnWURF8k
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhrXFcYrg
Three angles of police suspicion:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNDNHtCiO4
Rahul: He came to the party – said he didn’t do anything.
Komal: Said he didn’t know his wife-to-be very well.
Gopi: Said he only gave a lift.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrZTcUZpcJ
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQhUjIp5k
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx2Q3Gki8S
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV4cZR2WQa
Police questions to her parents:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd9eMqShHN
“Did you force her to marry?”
“Did Anita have any special friend?”
"Who arranged this marriage?”
“Did you notice any changes in Anita’s behavior?”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsM92S8ptq
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0pfGYKh1p
Tracking the shirt cloth:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Vx2sc42X
They traced the design, color, and brand of the cloth. Around 200 shops and 50 malls around Hyderabad had similar shirts, but no direct link was found.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZXch4djXb
CCTV Investigation:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHwK2AkCP
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVRafq7i75
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDEgR2FEYl
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiOiOnag3
Anita’s parents may not know the real truth… or may be hiding something.
The shirt cloth could be the real murder link – needs careful reexamination.
They needed to question Hyderabad’s biggest garment companies.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr59jW6RXT
Two days later:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpizuzAs2r
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIK19yFmnJ
Lawyer’s Argument:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR6d1aN7pZ
“Sir, you know everything… he admitted to giving her a lift. But there’s no proof that Gopi went back to the apartment after dropping her off.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrhF4Hdce0
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMOXSxEMbD
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4e8OMn8Uf
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h7X57NkmJ
He couldn’t leave Hyderabad until the case was fully investigated.
If the police called, he had to report to the station immediately.
If any new evidence was found, he had to cooperate.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmteL0EGYe
Back at home:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaNkiaB1mD
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mjIf8Ojv
Flashback:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk6zteRx3I
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkadf91nri
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp9ZN6lhzg
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BW4WQKwSU
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvyztaYCYY
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHLtoA7lRt
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwYRCLbBts
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9UFzcgpNF
After reaching Sunshine Apartments, Anita offered Gopi some coffee. Since it was raining, she suggested that he drink coffee and then leave once the rain slowed down.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2SGOtLKF
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcbjPJZtaB
Fifteen minutes later, Rahul went to Anita’s room from the back of the apartments. But by the time he reached there, Anita was already dead.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbysj2iyUut
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiaP5gbVJi
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiHNm8wXNz
Two months later:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0sX9iKgzP
Gopi, thinking of Anita as a friend, visited her house. Talking to Anita’s mother, he was looking around the house. He saw the calling bell – it was the very one Gopi had delivered to Anita’s house and even installed it for her.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTeYnHiXPU
That calling bell wasn’t an ordinary bell; it had a hidden camera in it. The recordings were stored on Anita’s phone. Gopi knew there was a camera in that bell. Gopi asked Anita’s parents for her phone and took it.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6crlN1REx
Opening the app linked to the calling bell, he found the video of what happened that night. It showed Anita’s murder clearly and everything was recorded.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYvPVwJvxx
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz10nlaMAs
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT8GGdl6mZ
What was in the video:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CTW0C72wt
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR3JUQlCaa
Anita entered her apartment and, to her shock, saw another girl inside. Before Anita could even ask, “Who are you?”, the girl slashed Anita’s hand with a knife. Anita stood there stunned, but the girl then cut Anita’s throat deeply with the same knife. Blood kept pouring as Anita struggled for her life.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF2tMT0GBW
The girl watched Anita calmly, then put her body in the bathtub, cleaned up the blood, wiped away all evidence in the apartment, put on the apartment security guard’s uniform, and casually took the elevator down.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0nDkF5J5S
Komal’s confession:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSM8tYk372
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WcZJyU62P
“The girl in the video is Mala. She’s the girl who loved me, but she’s not mentally stable. Even after I told her I didn’t love her, she kept following me.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxg2N8TV5a
I told Mala's parents about this, and they understood the situation and took her to a doctor. She was under treatment and I hadn’t seen her for a year. She must have found out about my wedding and come here.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIbAD89TcT
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXg70AuG7
Police action:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQBYcHXEyI
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC1g7jb7vU
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmdYCBMgxe
“That day, that night, as soon as you asked me to come in for coffee, I should have come in. If I’d stayed with you, I could have saved you, and you would still be alive… I’m sorry, Anita,” he said, tears falling down.
