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:-
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH9xjP3Sk2
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZCkHdJkU3
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZwkwDhens
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjdUnAHIGu
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNLhSdAIF7
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).
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlgr1LAx1Y
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFTpJNJ2Om
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuzAi5SUsV
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny7J6EZi0f
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjEpfC1anQ
The next day:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoweOhb8sg
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuaybrFsAG
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GGGI0OfGN
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSpDADaG7A
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?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu0o0A4pX0
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9BeYpBko
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nlEgiOD6X
“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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lyagCEIBk
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzblra5vYW
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWkRA6ezQ7
At the sunshine apartment:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZED8LllPQ
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlbu0hWPRL
In the bathtub…
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38HeNiIuk1
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0OGbYtaiD
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZKR6XR5Vn
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx17vFtjfn
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRUzEyqy6L
Forensic Report Findings:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83C0wiKDfy
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp09WtF10k
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuw8IHrKpO
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNkhMoVZqz
That night:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUxcZmn3t
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM5vFJhLLD
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQziv9kk5fG
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNam4ydyyO9
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBjCA7KKwP
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwrJTXnba
Present Day:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8avd1O43Bo
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe11EraUI9M
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa4hsdgx38
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjb0n4ihb7
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgJ41Jc0JK
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.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMDl51Mvxv
“When she left the party, I left too.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUynWHEyPp
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgfykxgO3k
Three angles of police suspicion:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTZJcPBdb
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEgI6vQCu
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJmKkoQHPE
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcIRFEGsta
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0JC2wt1Kc
Police questions to her parents:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwLi8MUdhZ
“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?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqWtgqppm
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMl5IwP6s
Tracking the shirt cloth:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjl1Q6cmK4
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE2QdXzOe1
CCTV Investigation:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75TQoO1L3c
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb4YGKQQ94
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4RMFSCWM6
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5AqbjqODN
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1JO5kyNlg
Two days later:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOGZ3sBKCK
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CsozGwzr6
Lawyer’s Argument:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iEdGslzCA
“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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBCdfoOSgQ
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh3fLzRnNd
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPgPvOb9G
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdAW44VNnq
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJutbNSIyu
Back at home:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H9mB2DzOq
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiemP0vqlbj
Flashback:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu1junNOXG
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6TvIFTmId
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArHypgWmvT
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtrZUjQKcC
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjb13W61N1
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwmgYfog78
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9HxxsModV
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxSJ1WogeB
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBXDuRckSm
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhG716NId3
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BUvCq2uhs
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Hz82v9AO
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo7P78XqZl
Two months later:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhD0o1V7k
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYfE5hTlyZ
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqQBh9AJFM
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FcBrergX2
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXpAdfyLBU
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jdvc2FUig
What was in the video:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVwBzQksi
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOMCtO1z4
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfRjO5Bn7C
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3HHaantaP
Komal’s confession:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJHhIQyJnO
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Zq5wZIVS
“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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2GLd2qcFN
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9XO3621G
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTD1WcPqlq
Police action:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYhPlh5A0
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpM5NxGxnB
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SlPn7WGUG
“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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d9eJ6SadP
The End…
