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:-
11Please respect copyright.PENANARLXeH6dlGQ
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA65hd0P4qbx
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAyYZQXOeySh
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9HDF0Ez7Nx
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANApbIjD6SEdw
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).
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFcbsT1atUi
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtEzAuEHbFo
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhzl2h2Nrvk
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAllAhRtReAz
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHnSAeP8aSE
The next day:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAX6udNRyply
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2ymMEHnRTR
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5LGTfYGypK
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnfol4zweGX
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?”
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUlvhlzy8te
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALIXyBOzkp2
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
11Please respect copyright.PENANAvxMGxwfgYy
“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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAkGbRh30qoC
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9bpEoHEnmF
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaQIMGl1cvs
At the sunshine apartment:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwXNIONmL47
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj8tzTqLbje
In the bathtub…
11Please respect copyright.PENANAWlJCGZeopO
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAkFFFO1NkCw
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAzAQO6jO2uB
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqOQMiF7UYj
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9OpMG6rc37
Forensic Report Findings:
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pi8xbFwLj
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAASzliw4E7p
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAOomAHcJluj
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAb4lubXQgOp
That night:
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4psxqmzTBe
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAcaToxOiVdY
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUM4T2gYx6p
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhFNKgdTxBO
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACSgfQgfExC
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAV4dRhRcDMU
Present Day:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8wfSORElo
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAg2SQYKE4Uj
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
11Please respect copyright.PENANAfNVKdiXEav
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANArDpoG4dmJX
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
11Please respect copyright.PENANAjGfhelmYwR
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.”
11Please respect copyright.PENANA47Rv1cjZlK
“When she left the party, I left too.”
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3kblmbOKko
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAL1fBksTHrh
Three angles of police suspicion:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAIW51rCsDLw
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAMRdoz3w1lw
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGTKzjRGWQd
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAvPZNC70Shn
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFcmRS8EDKB
Police questions to her parents:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPpLCwAaOO6
“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?”
11Please respect copyright.PENANAA1CkS1jMnX
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
11Please respect copyright.PENANAg3NbeQPK9V
Tracking the shirt cloth:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAOCPM7LmCxH
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqCCIOWwTPp
CCTV Investigation:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKnfyo1nv0l
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAdaxaDHhCGS
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAVrEcGt8K97
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHlW16VkTuN
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuT0wPsG9Aj
Two days later:
11Please respect copyright.PENANA59AE2HoGXI
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ETTUbogZ
Lawyer’s Argument:
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5dp5hVykpm
“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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhNYzIdhPHi
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8xnrtHRIQg
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
11Please respect copyright.PENANAdBqPeGKLbr
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFqX9xOiQBR
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANABuefdTfJZ7
Back at home:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtPFS3q6Pbt
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYp7i8KbjHh
Flashback:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAf9A5gDuJEE
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhCukkiQA8M
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYXkVsnRk0T
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALGfA7eUC6a
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALkoIaCZy7Y
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAeHehKyJmN2
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKArY1VxuOr
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAcEAKXN74u5
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA0v1U0Eh39d
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj262rxHLj8
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8KXHKHCeu5
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
11Please respect copyright.PENANASevyz9fhHB
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAh9wzjnk1ww
Two months later:
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1M5EXhUKMo
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3MOHJlwaGr
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQLHpHmGy6S
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtJSoeSGNki
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwMIs88Ss9I
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAbK69RW9Xxo
What was in the video:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAoFzrtDOCWy
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPCG0FTezMI
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYSwNbuEeg1
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAjWAsC5Y91v
Komal’s confession:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKqCoVWfhKJ
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAljav74vqJS
“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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAipLcrCjvIn
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAs4lval4jdO
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUiDlZA4BRI
Police action:
11Please respect copyright.PENANALyavGbHmhX
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUAFtf5H7Sp
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
11Please respect copyright.PENANA6MtWpl90Jm
“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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAiLtHAH05F1
The End…
