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:-
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2IziTGNll
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTTrdcl8vA
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif5FN6x4Pe
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThNhDTrCuS
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOncXtVAL1
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).
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfqvIUWcz9
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvagjKzn76
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1HmVO2zR4
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadpsOBIpzK
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WzQRThRds
The next day:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hHo8T7XS
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOv3UzXhHl
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3f34I23w1
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYRvEJwe1q
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?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6bWEDpqY2
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZbxDDLQ9
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDOUGunOIV
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sgd0Gtl74
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXoSEgtexa
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz65Ffuj9a
At the sunshine apartment:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9nNRP8Ycc
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcrNXXnhjO
In the bathtub…
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDQOVO5jso
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXxFzz959j
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKJEOHh4vZ
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrarYkx4sI
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar0pgACgGV
Forensic Report Findings:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lf6gBfE7p
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcSxEBfGV
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwInwWauxm
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7w7UbgEV
That night:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY86EJhcWxO
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0KFF0tqNX
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON7E2HyBsr
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3PUtnvefs
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuiSLRfSlC
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQdKOMZOw7
Present Day:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgsxnYzdi
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UhNYgysWO
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxh8IAKIR1
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVijm0jhS2
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a0ICv7pBi
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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIftBAXwAuy
“When she left the party, I left too.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBdvlq3wtQ
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo25bgUYxI
Three angles of police suspicion:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzRRJviL6D
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6JXMw4TKV
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiNdaLYAib
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUTglaUhyC
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u8lzFEyMy
Police questions to her parents:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsZVNHdZP8
“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?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF3ipT7HDK
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYEv4dCKe
Tracking the shirt cloth:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HppY36dv
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoapVBiPo6
CCTV Investigation:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrIDHUEsZY
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksS3RA4U8E
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN7727SkMH
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGPbqSlR8V
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvG7nklVvE
Two days later:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMjdpXT0Hf
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6auRdJtyZ2
Lawyer’s Argument:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ZhndhELl
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieuOI8V6MS
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLiYzUuuZ
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZVwLsxgb0
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJdZ55LZfU
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6tDWcOd47
Back at home:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9MYQeipmy
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWP3oqmoUN
Flashback:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4vfyz9ekc
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfT7XKNkEt
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVHtC4Qc5s
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2pb2XtOlF
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnbxrpqAX
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2TmLDhUzZ
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNzhPZ3cT6
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH80Q2iBSE
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRyRaUv8X
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGc6YXf2pf
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMDDEt0Xve
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5AuRhNp3f
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn3PLtzsXr
Two months later:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV29AOXzGPy
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoTz14uDbk
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkXcV1V8ce
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctNq9AJSY9
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsoXzSJfEa
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvN518E1dm
What was in the video:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKP8cwajKR
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIshyvemeV
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51mjdXa7U
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQx1NxP1Fl
Komal’s confession:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBtPJRu67
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiS2RQl7vf
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CR738gdS9
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUHYw7drhF
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9w19SZmy
Police action:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2DGYMdnkw
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVQbLfb5i4
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAgK5LFHth
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XD2ayaLMj
