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:-
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnocfFL6gY
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GFFvzSCp
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqUG6pAWTY
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBmyxsPh3
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiqwrKLPUI
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).
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBZ2EOGBe
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qSZ4hs2Iq
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSt2Ys09RF
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkbuNBZvpD
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiDnhjEGOF
The next day:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIn0cN4ZMG
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjmGc97T4S
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqJJg7Kdel
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCZHA9dz9I
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?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDw2y2GkBJ
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxhMIctJTs
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCVtIBv4Zb
“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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGljCaNgN0
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdgwoCYFyi
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37WqWGLabJ
At the sunshine apartment:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAxAwyBWb6
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefk57fA6QS
In the bathtub…
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRYAy9ixQ5
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b9h7FrzPe
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdjFBMWand
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XP79LuZCr
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrlFGe4otp
Forensic Report Findings:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgtNUR37nI
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDHf0MgZo3
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRYSgWvWkk
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyw9mMRg3J
That night:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUkehOFNk8
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAflTjDu3Qa
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqfQBeEs7k
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPqO2uYqvJ
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiYuzURc2D
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NaL72zxuv
Present Day:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs3riv62UW
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0qk6IncL
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ57a0Yrbm0
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJdGwRbj7A
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnCFhoJzG
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.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYAlf75GS2
“When she left the party, I left too.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO24ianEaOk
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRb7PZkMWN
Three angles of police suspicion:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4nzi216Mz
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTQcuN7iS
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAdIyrbW0H
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSUNZPyvOB
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV6WQE4RfS
Police questions to her parents:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfhLwc8GgV
“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?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2rmtzTteF
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPDIyx60cz
Tracking the shirt cloth:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDjxXWLSIc
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsysZv1pFZz
CCTV Investigation:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaZFOff357
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGwmkr2zNF
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkNef3qK4X
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOxB2LHTgu
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudkDba3Ie1
Two days later:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB6vBvV1WI
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUYtVq6NvG
Lawyer’s Argument:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvaWkT76Yj
“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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskF9OCcW1i
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRUFdBq54x
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGXCqHzrcC
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY0teDz58g
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtVa3TJfhT
Back at home:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2tepFZOF0
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNKWi8i4C
Flashback:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITmGkYysCW
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8PR1F1vED
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7okEFfCpH0
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99zSK01SdN
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdCoDqFU35
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0esS2NqK8
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsATIUmFt8N
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFLtNcUTvp
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDMxTNzgs3
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYn4O4eNGZ
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybEZu7KKSP
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMSbekG05V
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGlGc89c3v
Two months later:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY76PA4WBH
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbUaRT3qLr
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksJoVcwW3
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zSIOZPMrR
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw4UEkfUBZ
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rh7w23rfL
What was in the video:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyMR8jPvgC
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhX8uZwexc
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXBHd0pY3o
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiSd5FC2DB
Komal’s confession:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIeiclL4EP
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDVPSWjKmE
“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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNLuk1ZZ3f
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92fLr2rgP7
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy3FBMFSoi
Police action:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjVyi6jhpG
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uGyV03rph
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduXLfjztqB
“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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5i80vojt
