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:-
15Please respect copyright.PENANAh4zkrAa2FX
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAJZDpU6Ovpt
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANALQWLfd7eaw
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAWX9WqRcJn3
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAkcEiia1W1P
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).
15Please respect copyright.PENANAkiUQDdjmUi
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
15Please respect copyright.PENANArNfo3MKEnZ
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAb6vdOlNpv2
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAii1iD1uP6P
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANARQiUhRUyNM
The next day:
15Please respect copyright.PENANA9JNxECDDWh
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAg7T9wDVwTQ
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAiUEhlWfM3q
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAiyj6dopFyW
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?”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAhbZeJ9SgFa
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAioM8KZNU4M
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAjZgkEUUE3e
“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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANARszPYBVG9V
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAf2Ovan9l1y
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAy3wLr09i4H
At the sunshine apartment:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAhKk3W0LA8Q
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Vmw7gG2w
In the bathtub…
15Please respect copyright.PENANAtghsUVuOD1
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANApIRKo4vtZn
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA5IjyRE0bkN
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAXVPKOV6erR
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAsidMJlsGlp
Forensic Report Findings:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAYYp4sf8itg
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQGz4lpRE6L
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAEJvXweGcw3
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAAYZqZM9kav
That night:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAzZKJlqr9W5
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAmWmNersDbi
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAWTEYhmExvW
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAu94rWyxeI9
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAi4MyFhbAZY
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAjdR0D9y9Zx
Present Day:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAd6DnMvISFc
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAfUbRGShOtD
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
15Please respect copyright.PENANA8AXQQtu1Lu
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAs1daGUmvyu
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
15Please respect copyright.PENANAijwxplS7oI
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.”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAM9GxqMWAAv
“When she left the party, I left too.”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAOpdgzh1mcL
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA2lwlI0LN9M
Three angles of police suspicion:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdTlwfMvmER
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAjHp2RznUp8
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAUW5krACPej
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5fgpMN7gd
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAzwIiB1qSkJ
Police questions to her parents:
15Please respect copyright.PENANARZGBkW75kC
“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?”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAzJQLFRMb5c
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
15Please respect copyright.PENANACGNdGoQ8TP
Tracking the shirt cloth:
15Please respect copyright.PENANA3d9Lv1qFku
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQtLXf41pAM
CCTV Investigation:
15Please respect copyright.PENANA0B4uMbhtLP
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA82u0biTugz
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAVWLL6MoHNG
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAScJ7Y37Hme
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAViVUApgcZ3
Two days later:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAR7s4POtYWQ
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAcILIrxvZuj
Lawyer’s Argument:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZvrtCARpjJ
“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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA3cM7PrjJKa
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdXhZQQqskP
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
15Please respect copyright.PENANACaUKCNbEBz
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAtpYCJqLTNA
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdetePqobDc
Back at home:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAXBCU624B4i
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAnb2umWOBfF
Flashback:
15Please respect copyright.PENANA1BnhFPK65a
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAr0hOVPR7cR
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAintlw14acl
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAsuurYvWa95
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAa11hR5jfzq
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA8w6Ky9RrlL
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAEADKX4Thsi
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAPxPQ6QiGux
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAtdHXsIgS27
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAvglKQvjkag
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAzhMsbuKY9v
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAU7iMhKFV8J
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA6YVyrtBQkS
Two months later:
15Please respect copyright.PENANATScIkoQUaO
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAntAdjLmjkl
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAsyAHU713cp
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAJUWyMrN0Hw
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
15Please respect copyright.PENANAtDw9mITs3n
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAr0RSFCk4fd
What was in the video:
15Please respect copyright.PENANARnNANnXsll
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA3EnSzuUnX7
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAOGCvky0zdl
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAARDDuqlsHf
Komal’s confession:
15Please respect copyright.PENANABxDBtFxIbK
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAOPzNIXrAPd
“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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAOy8XDqODFU
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAooV0BJ9eI3
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
15Please respect copyright.PENANAP22umjuw7i
Police action:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAYM6P02WLX8
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA9gCWXxDkw6
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
15Please respect copyright.PENANATrjJtM5S84
“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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANACrO9ifRVPO
The End…
