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:-
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh8Htry7fk
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGW6wgroa7
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf1MxzQn4G
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkSvRhhurW
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANKXO0H18i
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).
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHvCfyhzEz
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dEkfscftf
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJxgWZzDu0
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPQAPxRI3J
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpEds9ZnKD
The next day:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmJOJ55jtf
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7pu69kHma
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTVB3nxvg2
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Gld8gYDD
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?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhkE4QM2iR
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX5bYufSPE
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7tviuCq9p
“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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRqYlUj95C
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETKAuNvf9Z
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG69ZzSCasp
At the sunshine apartment:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAkDU9lCAA
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKfVpqXAGG
In the bathtub…
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0reWaRpwf5
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPyp9Ffz4Q
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPQBzsJ8il
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7wB8WxAT3
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNELZxFD6de
Forensic Report Findings:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzt67DJ2MX
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgjbUDcpXm
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D1hVCaxmT
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgeDPmjQT
That night:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHHhqO0sPH
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSFxdYOOZ6
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCoifaJnu
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uKHUynZba
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyF2BowV23
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBLFoQriFM
Present Day:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUurKiIUA4
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5SuoweLOh
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQffqAT5yy
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU5gHg3aoW
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Ld6qF093
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.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlBzyt8BzV
“When she left the party, I left too.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWtmJ25lmr
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74E27wSXIx
Three angles of police suspicion:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiJK2pjLjU
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ40IJtO3HR
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJWqEjzhnF
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvdxB6GRNB
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPtgl1F1Qb
Police questions to her parents:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MDeoP4tPq
“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?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHQkKqwMGy
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AxKa13E5f
Tracking the shirt cloth:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7wnR5RacD
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSthZpfidQv
CCTV Investigation:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx1OJX8oKv
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR4ETr5TvS
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HIif4mcdz
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7mNHO2uWg
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81k8QMjJrp
Two days later:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutBCP699V3
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgObc5mejB
Lawyer’s Argument:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8BPiJvzQd
“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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWF0M4uDBC
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLMBeXNwit
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKccJzHshKK
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tiOoeKQm
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzaV3VfYgY
Back at home:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaODQBDIZI
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcyc68fRDK
Flashback:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4SDO2WpiH
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU90BUB0613
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFaC0BY7bj
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEqTgT5QS9
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoof3ZIY9v
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxzvHDLbXY
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK04xIQ1QO
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0JtAuhrIL
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qw8Uh9hFO
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdfcH5dQqe
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyav4Lmk61
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiyynhwRj3
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDxmymGZE8
Two months later:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz3qhUs5hh
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmsJRwySg1
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrjvMx8jhS
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jm2JQbzbv
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoctG3PnsdE
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNFfMLEAC
What was in the video:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ga325PM9
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJt7x1neWH
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQKBEhvZ2s
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbnEtSaGkk
Komal’s confession:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemCO9E3dVd
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WYwmHTkPx
“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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC90kzxSTk
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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0lpBwFLK8
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtWeS8fnju
Police action:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUTgNbU8VD
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFHZHqYWWW
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrGY609K78
“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.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIvjG7XXCG
The End…
