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:-

Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ejfXB1PlO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4VjGhtGl6
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth8XERgdDO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0MOo0na9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg9rqFVqzn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeAzpHuIE2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkowEgqWbl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuRQzWBZ98
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas9xDcbncP
The next day:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8wTzullZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bulqLCW5o
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwoDqmxvd
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf25JIUO7C
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQ6dGPR4z
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszieHUNZaE
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpuxuxe3FE
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzl73SzwET
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRQcLsM7i
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVDI91MnYe
At the sunshine apartment:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XU76sAD0B
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4aaMbGNWu
In the bathtub…
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5xQTIX4uB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iZ5yB7wGf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNRvkA12t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cORCmx2f1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m4PCQDC2G
Forensic Report Findings:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ433ht4CY1u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5pzpBCaNk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt6uelo9IN
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7yDArHghh
That night:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYlBf8bYFq
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FDdwVIRc1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkfJuSPF6H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiLyBantBd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWK2s8h3TX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTs7kBBr33
Present Day:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH2AX8K1hD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaewfvKy2w
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfEIeZyfVk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Mj5sKZhV
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RDvCalSmW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YQC4OgOmp
“When she left the party, I left too.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRn9Utptep
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9RvRVayV
Three angles of police suspicion:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzAIt80aq6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjLl3Xi5PS
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlTvwAbLLj
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHKroPk7Id
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39lsSj1W67
Police questions to her parents:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QJzXjIRN3
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dddI4XWLf
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsASslpdPGw
Tracking the shirt cloth:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdByylbW25q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7xShAtiKV
CCTV Investigation:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kLRvBywIO
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwcMwc8n83
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y2BAaY9P7
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLWOwYUExs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn1QisGR6o
Two days later:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5QvIQASfy
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHTyXYHGcC
Lawyer’s Argument:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEAW7iAsHP
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAAEkwfAKM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cVFLicwaz
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoV0IGMht0
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbda5OnRVH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NhQroBf4j
Back at home:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62jIZbjc3w
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9txMRuqG4
Flashback:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXTS7p9Q67
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFofJI6TESb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwt8Q6saGm
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdCiOQqryn
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IVGBj2HRg
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1JBTWazxr
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvGzvDjJQY
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SynBgAeFt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNhmJgATnp
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwFNx6aT2G
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFLra1Tyjs
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF9lxCoBIw
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIogo5lfFf
Two months later:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwf6lDxcla
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2m1ihjQAJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTndRZ6W3r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGf1Gw3mNF
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgwL0Zvf6
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcPAQtxuHu
What was in the video:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WYC1qxKUD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4YxWPF5K0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaETexryeA3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixI49s31JB
Komal’s confession:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuzphAjazK
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFce8cEOg9A
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXHaqqwytJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7eDXrcaqv
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv1x6iGEqS
Police action:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4vLfqPRWO
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdClYH4WcFa
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pnkCTV1eJ
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFBxKIZeiX
The End…
