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:-
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajM01igUyC
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDpmkWpioo
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Pc17XoYX
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHJz0y5eQ0
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP02qEEXDv
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).
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6XxKOAASB
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRsSArbQsh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmgzMb1SVm
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hQM5QZ2kh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7PxnwCRFi
The next day:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3qncJaYOA
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvh9WOXrB5
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl0vZMKcZE
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILDD9QOfEa
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUm2fDJeT8
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUlYPsjvBK
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxPt05naTE
“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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBOqnF6Fjz
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78vLjzFxmO
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VdhhwqUt2
At the sunshine apartment:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZFTb8Gcri
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsChbqMYKh8
In the bathtub…
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fAbtyK3JD
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqe3WrPOxh
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU23PQjpmqi
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NQBhwNK7E
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4A1cZXfu4
Forensic Report Findings:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ4xRyDVAY
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfE9aArUM2
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmJghK3NI
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrrBNdLEjA
That night:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYph4FBQJG
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTILG3eNSha
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv6Mn5GHrw
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPjE0MGR1o
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzPwVMksY
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2pDeRIav4
Present Day:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL7qMTle7E
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStz1WcYwm4
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9EpnYITRY
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wGXcmMJ3K
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzApPIfoDf
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRlD9QIa4V
“When she left the party, I left too.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEfBBu8Xgl
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCROvwXf8K
Three angles of police suspicion:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk1obOPRta
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgpfZoKjCs
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MpqIb9vDT
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxN3SZMUZo
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4yX0FoSI2
Police questions to her parents:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCEoqopl1n
“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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFexdHAn1UT
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvZwKWMRus
Tracking the shirt cloth:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5klQ8N1jE
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7pKgwomY1
CCTV Investigation:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeGei9IxrO
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ42HxhfkG
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1szLs21fd
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynepVIBWTV
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JpCmiVeYI
Two days later:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTkSTctLLO
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFyI5amIc5
Lawyer’s Argument:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKdTs858Tt
“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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRjwA03Gok
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0akI0ke7
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7HqY1YJ5
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYwAbaG451
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw3yiQFJLt
Back at home:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC5KB1CzeB
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9xLtH1GRJ
Flashback:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcFfsLIwVn
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0s6f421O
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT4ASL9U0b
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOVTEvIQme
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVE1Z1YJJ2
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8zhtWVhEC
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCh4ThWOCi
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPuGnX7ZOO
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEt1OGrbHW
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFoFHY2R8m
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVlrdn1wL1
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLKWDl171I
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRxd3EkI5f
Two months later:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uOHeJ8r5K
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S8BFb3789
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis5ADBvri0
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXdPz67NzR
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc2vtRUjbs
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKd2GtzTYi
What was in the video:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCX8EzDB6P
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfWBWEQYEr
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0KYyAY81u
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jF0jbVTtd
Komal’s confession:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4exugkaCM4
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjBedupSzL
“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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYsNcgNjNX
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XWUj0ru6l
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjBsYJVNju
Police action:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctJSylgZMS
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9xu4joQvI
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijADoFylr2
“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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46QiaD0rLb
The End…
