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:-
24Please respect copyright.PENANAT71npjV1Cl
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZe4u1SmH1r
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhtaHz3UwQd
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxTQbGGde0k
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0wlvPfONTp
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).
24Please respect copyright.PENANAfA7zqZ5EG7
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAybQtBSfi21
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAb0j0drPlne
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAThoe9T7z70
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAP0ZZKbE8Hk
The next day:
24Please respect copyright.PENANABTPaCfN4cW
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFf2iuIbLC0
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
24Please respect copyright.PENANASGBrHouYst
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA277HuecFrX
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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtDImch5DMy
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGOnKeVeGGs
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANATCQLfRH7dn
“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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8hSyYIvla7
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAko3vNyphcI
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAm3DqaQO3V3
At the sunshine apartment:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxU0mgPnzS7
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
24Please respect copyright.PENANArXdIiSG0FE
In the bathtub…
24Please respect copyright.PENANAl4APlHowb9
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdYeam1gLOY
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKKeTPXMCqt
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcB1nV7aBN0
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXJxJJXBvkO
Forensic Report Findings:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6RXnch3v7
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAeaIaSqYxu0
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxaMetpv4uc
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkKTuQwxF13
That night:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAG9KrQF2yt
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAS9s3A7cQt5
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAEWWYoE4VQO
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAumRVYZHIrh
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvfE6sQSE2c
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAO42XfM4kzd
Present Day:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAEDAmzvEXEY
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzSK22GwzJm
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjwJ4eHMJDW
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXPT7PJ7WnO
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
24Please respect copyright.PENANARGe3RU7tHT
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2z1li4qfqz
“When she left the party, I left too.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAszgmIgOxxs
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoF1YiA3ebH
Three angles of police suspicion:
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3NZUeYuO1W
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOZMGhbYAf6
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
24Please respect copyright.PENANALClpeiKMY4
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAL1HVerh6Z6
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
24Please respect copyright.PENANALQEvaaJpLB
Police questions to her parents:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgWi4BfkfmX
“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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0oGqooYO0p
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANADCIZfPhlkl
Tracking the shirt cloth:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAsqJx8vTWyf
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANANc4LtXJ8w5
CCTV Investigation:
24Please respect copyright.PENANALTsym6gAai
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdGIaUppQWu
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzSCnSxmohL
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAC0oDoUA0Gw
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA48774h0cLm
Two days later:
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6Loph46WhL
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgXkSqHoxF9
Lawyer’s Argument:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAuCwAfUBSyM
“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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANARKTWC3VJby
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAuneRmsxuBp
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJMKydPNYfc
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAP7W0jTUWgn
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQvUZGMZVuc
Back at home:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAasIZGeGOR
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAam3R5dr7Wp
Flashback:
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xo6CPhXGh
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
24Please respect copyright.PENANATVtQTJiu7v
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAIx21wxQe7u
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
24Please respect copyright.PENANASmkL5jtW3r
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgjuHDtps0a
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjrxneONE2m
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ2OzJe39I
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmIc9hTWmDQ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAP0F4zdsHtO
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9qvBbmsZqM
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbPu0dwRHJ7
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlc4psJBrwL
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
24Please respect copyright.PENANASVGAZ0KxM9
Two months later:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcnHKQs5ZYk
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9ihqjNlC
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAv4rV34SE8C
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXwqqiK1CXW
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAhYYUNhT0h
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGd6sgMgeKY
What was in the video:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMH6RloQzKP
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGxz0qvMfcL
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJWHcgifCKM
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaDs2N6PqWx
Komal’s confession:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdupSInAcxk
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAIYHSdsbIjA
“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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhkW3NVOCIG
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWMgbnGiU5s
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAeEkYO3Nmlx
Police action:
24Please respect copyright.PENANA08UWA83FA6
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
24Please respect copyright.PENANACGj5CyOhvA
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOnp6YEHsNh
“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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtkDjdfjz6X
The End…
