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:-
120Please respect copyright.PENANAd6w598baB4
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAah6NcuNede
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOs7PAMNp1f
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
120Please respect copyright.PENANASYfC7CULeE
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXW4hwXlQLU
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).
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlBDsoRckCe
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAB8ObMEeT9g
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMXPy0TRAyu
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeOk73qxLVl
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7EapTXpxC8
The next day:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAzZVpEhnsCu
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAV9ddjdNy87
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgLRnVvxpjP
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfD53FIG6vC
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?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5akAJLUM7n
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlbVJrOcF5h
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAk6iC3AjGZB
“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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxDE0M8NCiR
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
120Please respect copyright.PENANARoRKVLwv2P
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA010KkLDFHk
At the sunshine apartment:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAV8NwbUFIi5
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1ze4SShwXD
In the bathtub…
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHcVPjhyFvY
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVVNpo8ZoGr
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAtwZolJHCwZ
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgbTXtRZqoW
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXeerucj6cb
Forensic Report Findings:
120Please respect copyright.PENANADuflKoXQip
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA89SuyNzg3z
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1bnVDJjqwj
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAkCrAKQi5yZ
That night:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqdMF9JR7Dc
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5iKPPEdEEU
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Nn9Clq8V
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAk5GZM7UftU
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKSS3wtAMhW
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAybY3BQvBp9
Present Day:
120Please respect copyright.PENANABv1okyKDWu
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfa0pqU2tfo
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAs47h22rNpY
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOvMKsxsF
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFgseHHoxMZ
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.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmV4mgb1f3l
“When she left the party, I left too.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANADHx7cBRpO6
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hx2ymF28u
Three angles of police suspicion:
120Please respect copyright.PENANATWEdjN6wUm
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiDUyySsB8f
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFaeKoKNCKL
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAE3zXmwE1ql
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1X8ZxepBxg
Police questions to her parents:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbkd8QLjEHj
“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?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKD9YMxAPAd
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcLI2zD0dIt
Tracking the shirt cloth:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMuvkZMRywl
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxx7QhJuyph
CCTV Investigation:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAG4zmMQ6NbN
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAD8QdwXa6Lb
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVNPEZAjhPY
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
120Please respect copyright.PENANA99jVTe8RRL
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANApFu08uzL8K
Two days later:
120Please respect copyright.PENANA84z62iED7T
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACJdn3SNVIL
Lawyer’s Argument:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAa1TMNevLtb
“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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVeSlB5OZUT
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyuMll3CZ6i
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAP1KISXAP9U
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXqgaGy59PE
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAwtiYf0u6wf
Back at home:
120Please respect copyright.PENANABZ2xX2VVlb
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ql7OpS7gW
Flashback:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgmOtzjQ1pT
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPhVfa8P61M
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA9JHNbj0X9d
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJa4afeblEv
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJky8xCSixo
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2RkMfsynWY
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAtDXSRb6Y4j
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0eZh3T1L1M
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWeEFTHmLAJ
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlLxnV5CZEZ
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2k5rLXKUaf
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xd80koIOc
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAzsWMC9chfi
Two months later:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAzjvfEJa6Eq
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPRZuo1fKZR
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWBzCYoLuc0
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8izhFgOWOC
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
120Please respect copyright.PENANAERuNd9HAYc
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA40rj0RQ3qT
What was in the video:
120Please respect copyright.PENANAz02YjcKd7m
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAzEr2HGZmem
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Gl1hWTmS
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANANQsXcDmIIY
Komal’s confession:
120Please respect copyright.PENANARmqbx7s3z0
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
120Please respect copyright.PENANA029ucF6k1d
“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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2lb8EvguUj
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAdEvcY3Ccdi
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeptBP6ZfRg
Police action:
120Please respect copyright.PENANATbJ4acyAuR
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHIbAlTwgdP
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0CKnf9MxzL
“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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoOoo1Zbuaz
The End…
