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:-
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr6YzCfTky
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU6ft6sf6k
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATGppwC4NV
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJCZXlBuhS
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6cZ5QAKsv
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).
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcuBjocZtI
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BmZh7cmak
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm3H5Ykjsg
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1S0ZvqyqC
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsE7pvHUVk
The next day:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5tyD7ejdE
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtPE2cTcMQ
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRHNNrbO8Q
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HqewGCKdx
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?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP414oB0mdy
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ9PGfvpQn
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8VOB0hqu
“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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tvN7IVoFf
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KHfJh7kgH
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9LacVrQnz
At the sunshine apartment:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Z9ry12tJ
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BEZ6QceW
In the bathtub…
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX5HJYuJu4
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbd5nk2mZn
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIFBZbvt0
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3czWMdFDc
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXufhymdma
Forensic Report Findings:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLO1hl7y3J
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi8GpnrXus
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8WAvw5RE7
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEv77ULbSr
That night:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9JRTjyv8z
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ369PEg5CP6
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFLfKsmsi
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AxrvpHps9
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hz3zFqWMK
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv0i5XOpze
Present Day:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQxdF49iv1
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19sfBFD2P0
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxJ8hpwuX3
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5bQSwRAbE
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqEapNkeBz
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.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WaCGMt60
“When she left the party, I left too.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeY76qedIJ
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm2v4zPMKk
Three angles of police suspicion:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06TtFK4Wm1
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RALthSN0O
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbG6YFkzL8
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzH2pvuO5G
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd3Dge4fTD
Police questions to her parents:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedwDZGZXcV
“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?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqmWkG3CaI
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBlja2ZVX
Tracking the shirt cloth:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMMP0syLr6
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLMMB9ddXW
CCTV Investigation:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQuPzhlte5
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fYl7BDTw7
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscLHJvsmYg
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc8NvDUi1Z
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiKsGzcPvk
Two days later:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7SHHZhVcy
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2kNxcReII
Lawyer’s Argument:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZkhDeU8yY
“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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3723bDbvd
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnMPzigIku
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8NsGJxrXr
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaHKeXIl9g
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInThZkjO5w
Back at home:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3M950duOy
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0CpJlLIyU
Flashback:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIcCM1hy76
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCNye3BJ9e
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtUNIbdcMe
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8foM96NyH1
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe53ilvcoz
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkiI5n5rm
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC7o4BQnyA
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpEDSMnfNT
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yWXIKfOWr
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLGccl2qCk
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJf2u9c20
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWw4SqEMm7
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8H0yoSbug
Two months later:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY65KMYcvxh
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwL05llzIk
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi4F7nCScK
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOq3NR4SDB
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C62yuEJTK
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn5Gm8IWwQ
What was in the video:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR9nImD3Ud
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmCiKa3Y9k
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7TXD9yUgE
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMSwsuzz0B
Komal’s confession:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1w60EkGHu
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcGCuFK56F
“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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNITkRd93z
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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtbVaOgUkZ
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARkB98lGt
Police action:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6eA2l6ptj
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkVkrZGw9E
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul2XVb4Iwf
“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.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxU1YXJrDK
The End…
