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:-
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq1TpdhoRa
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUUQXIqCZ9
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuotjUNLx9x
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHoquMb9D2
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nrQhncswO
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).
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BhSPD7DwJ
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHo1fIggdj
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N1ExVgxLj
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooDenQ3uxo
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCE0oWwIZZ
The next day:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRcDLOvaQR
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBGbrL3yhj
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s1iDomvfu
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzqmtCfGWS
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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7BEXvZEBp
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc9dDHbiPL
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlKjuRAja
“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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcnPuK8P2a
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n0z38BcGt
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhvpL3QVc
At the sunshine apartment:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZs8aBqfL3
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysdzgnY1Dh
In the bathtub…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N4SgCYFto
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfSNDqnYYk
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeUcModC1U
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt7eRy9yfl
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3woOzkyON
Forensic Report Findings:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4849Pa4hdn
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8RFTgIZpU
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZciTK182S
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFi1RILZ2W
That night:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDgA8enJqZ
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtAKoa00D
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOafGyEUojl
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEgt3jwPCU
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0bW12N2b3
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2YGE7efG2
Present Day:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLOfXmH32r
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dxpUoH4uJ
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj92NgSL5tw
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwr17K7lTd
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LPCf1fAYg
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBSazlJluK
“When she left the party, I left too.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZWaaPQedS
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n8UBtB4Jz
Three angles of police suspicion:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRGyPcEC79
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdAMPe9aTl
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lZfdqDmRf
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5Zvr8g1w
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx1Y6piHsk
Police questions to her parents:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi4qZUHP5N
“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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMizviS1WbO
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhjYpuyj9u
Tracking the shirt cloth:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IT4wQ3wyC
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCBu1AYYMC
CCTV Investigation:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo4Zb2tIS9
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S80XBwfdB
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo14wYc1Xfe
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznD2Dw97yU
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2gpfRUT0j
Two days later:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhasTs5ZF1
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZamDgCm68
Lawyer’s Argument:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MD64JcdiU
“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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF74WvmbDFm
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJBvF0qXkc
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeqXMTtNjF
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMWyWIzBmg
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1wfLRxflD
Back at home:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr5o9OQRTY
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8fm1VhvDP
Flashback:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbOCCNdvfz
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0GC1JRKb2
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwt5xo2Mm4
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ksPy1UX8
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRTZazEhkJ
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwyNAsbQLT
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvQL28F6vI
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20PkPYRSNS
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ukbuOXtsC
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LZDjVItBj
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpfZlCyXC
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuj11fwcFC
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX25xFYgcF
Two months later:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMJlWt05Rg
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk3WBPXg69
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXuDhn5ER1
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlclobvi8av
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3FLjZ7cw9
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjM4dNwp4k
What was in the video:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTWwkKUbYL
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSqkLrCrFX
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VeAA1w1Hh
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43GJu31I3e
Komal’s confession:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWMSkDwaGq
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgbKQpqxAe
“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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF5jQurchM
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs10ERjmgla
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ozKZoGfR
Police action:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wtfm5LX0A
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s7s0HVDis
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdEfYnREin
“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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu2DwkkF7f
