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:-

Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaejcrHuT8E
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZP718dNYg
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKftCZzuoe
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgcyewrhGL
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).
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqrn0hg20
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA2rmNUmIu
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwSt2tXabv
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaCQ3rvN0d
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCuydIHkKc
The next day:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PomcAV0Mn
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdllPgXAwY
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUG8Gr03h8
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruSOZFLr2Y
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?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRJEOBWYWt
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qab3S7hO3
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6V5aGbtC
“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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMqEtz7dJ2
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcHOXpQJKf
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPKlCpApd5
At the sunshine apartment:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbgZVgFQs2
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI3Jh8J12L
In the bathtub…
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPO9ZguCl
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eRu957Yuk
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeG37BUh81
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhbFeulFg
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zTM0b4XqP
Forensic Report Findings:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsETdCBzjuU
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM1hjTmqCs
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vb6AOPr0z
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzssRdUv8d1
That night:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGB9dyDvyi
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHOCjRJ0EE
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGdN4Cxiuz
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtvL0bwt9Q
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBTJSJxuhP
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7OhtcNCmt
Present Day:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jed8dEn3V
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdifwP3L8J
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7tNXoopnA
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzSrTlpQ8X
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDqYtuTrzE
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.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXDSokPeCY
“When she left the party, I left too.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lahyHSwKv
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3OwmBwewE
Three angles of police suspicion:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtirT87sXt
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXWylahs1A
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43SA198onJ
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmqkKuxxVm
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuxdhiIqo3
Police questions to her parents:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69i7Sckg6
“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?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIbGmrVpcT
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyuKsbiypr
Tracking the shirt cloth:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVqZrfGrWx
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWub0zIrUn
CCTV Investigation:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCeIHOe4d2
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYQS6AkBNr
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lG1vepHxU
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0s5DKnOuV
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMM5D2xJi6
Two days later:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUZkArnbmw
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCJbVf8x4
Lawyer’s Argument:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwR92XDBwW
“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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstmESd9DnI
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWClKZzNkfi
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7CxxsGwrl
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2soUk9utLu
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7vbcqRH9z
Back at home:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhcYlXqTk
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQZVRxbg5
Flashback:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpgxKhEPfu
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDr6t4vkvw
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jEZlhOVRU
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRiwLG5Fv0
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGefV26FJB
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4WMVRS9Z0
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW8994eFqn
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCgQuOaIE
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa1k5hEJOe
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EuKWwo7Le
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOItvBqiLI4
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmnWNtd2Lz
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjgS8pKLf
Two months later:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUpi5Bk10J
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC4PV5rd2j
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8FqvBkbYG
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q95lQE2JB
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYNn3YMWQL
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIgYJut3c
What was in the video:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY5ahsAYRY
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVlXy2v4N8
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5NSrz1V8y
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamFVrjzmxF
Komal’s confession:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl91VOurou
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZakWXyiWm
“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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemT85Jgx0m
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGismjGI2r
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdfjGtRxJm
Police action:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPtfBsGuc1
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0sSo0XSbS
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCk65sp6wf
“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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi6QdHXai2
The End…
