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:-
59Please respect copyright.PENANANfiGo4F6KW
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA150zo8gTul
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAFmHECPIyoe
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
59Please respect copyright.PENANANkjIVlArbi
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYtbeRyC6RO
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).
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWeiiPHQ4f3
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6E8JR6Q5W2
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAxLx5pIyOPJ
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAgoWHdalLTg
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6KizfEBFPL
The next day:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAObMhXjjPs7
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAKc8phJCEyH
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnsy3DGXwIM
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWCOkUDLgig
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?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANANczDXnTPHk
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAD1vecdXyv3
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlL7CIP0MIR
“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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAgqIKx4EWDY
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAG1IA5FsUzC
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAc16MHHNgrz
At the sunshine apartment:
59Please respect copyright.PENANA828mz7xYV9
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAJMUWZmgXVD
In the bathtub…
59Please respect copyright.PENANAQb9YisbNEd
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAy4urKbloSo
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdT81yD52nL
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjZvhJUAStZ
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAoLBGsJclms
Forensic Report Findings:
59Please respect copyright.PENANArQqB7wDxY6
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANApdHaGQ20io
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANADMSWdsdbA9
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAuBTJCq4RUl
That night:
59Please respect copyright.PENANABTBzrxuwP8
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAoL1EcKnW1k
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5urQ31I5wO
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGbKRFLI3vL
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAtgsDbGWcKS
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANACETYvVYeCP
Present Day:
59Please respect copyright.PENANALd8bA1FBYa
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAc63NqemZeo
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
59Please respect copyright.PENANAI6mowPduPL
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZAm6WBr8Z
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXjSZy1mdkv
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAEPLUA4EkEK
“When she left the party, I left too.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAaQZttU6leS
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlHWsyAbj1x
Three angles of police suspicion:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAB14iJS8L5g
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8LnXbf6pBJ
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA31iXP3xXoP
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZlnFFeBjCk
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcR9vtU3MtR
Police questions to her parents:
59Please respect copyright.PENANApdXbcf7dW1
“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?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3s3Tlc3C92
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZkcrzNougT
Tracking the shirt cloth:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAR9OI96h6kB
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANApX5PjtjAPu
CCTV Investigation:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAf938iRS2Xi
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7kr9PFGlXL
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5LDBZbjg0L
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5c1dEhkv8u
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWoWdH0o56W
Two days later:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAEgiwJkp8e7
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAksBMP4YD3R
Lawyer’s Argument:
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9pWQzjjhlm
“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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAMtBmG0AZo
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsY2avKRn4h
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAaNeQLtUboh
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
59Please respect copyright.PENANALpwfLoDZwp
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANASXBjs1htn6
Back at home:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZMI8HjVnru
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
59Please respect copyright.PENANALvRGWh0pop
Flashback:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsUVyReczWK
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMFXCfDXRuc
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAfzuA35e7sQ
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
59Please respect copyright.PENANANlgclLH27H
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAazd57ZIZyR
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcvKpJ667T6
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAS00yjA2UVJ
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAst3uxLr90S
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZO7aaiuF
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnPYhdaRQpm
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcO6GT9VL19
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAgIAcujkRTu
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAajRcvgULIg
Two months later:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAVqobMHXwm
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2vCMJdptnI
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnq4i7ys959
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAbZtOl2EpGd
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
59Please respect copyright.PENANAb7gQ9HtgcK
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAiGj3eOjfk1
What was in the video:
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9l2JNpD3WN
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
59Please respect copyright.PENANACLlw3XmHf9
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5B269bH0FD
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkEPgMNUtYy
Komal’s confession:
59Please respect copyright.PENANANf0GBcQGcI
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAPz9kg3ousi
“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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAyMkvhzPP9A
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA46iEMPbOWO
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAix1RbRIFTm
Police action:
59Please respect copyright.PENANAeQMPLMOJRy
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2jhw1QuCKb
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2NXH7HZP0M
“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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAFXou55aDWg
The End…
