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:-
405Please respect copyright.PENANAO2vyfrEH93
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAjLny6W13d2
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA89cFwXLrXr
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAeY5zOzTpm7
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQhvFpj5dNm
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).
405Please respect copyright.PENANAA9JZoAQgvr
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAr00f9jSF5j
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA7Uec7hFe5j
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA8hVzCWrsjX
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAqWOObqoUZo
The next day:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAyyxHCfpaU1
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAsL0pSiibNa
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQIHnHzKAvv
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA7oLcVJXwyc
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?”
405Please respect copyright.PENANA5oDtj7lL3V
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
405Please respect copyright.PENANALUrHMciGTE
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAAvOaKZxOUP
“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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAYiEHdymWJZ
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAG8VSvIfdOq
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAgIDnOPDg5C
At the sunshine apartment:
405Please respect copyright.PENANARr1ZuPKz09
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAqmyncKiqNB
In the bathtub…
405Please respect copyright.PENANAiX5ar6J5V8
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAHWZsNWiMAA
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAF2wQQSLYb1
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAZsR7LVBbLR
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAsZL8DkD9oC
Forensic Report Findings:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAsiiQjA0UdM
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAqydN2ZZn8C
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAqtsefOimwU
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAvyysnvIP65
That night:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAbVdDb6fblq
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAHafEqA26vL
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAKJVAjmasGn
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAhlQjP210jw
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAfiBRwFblGi
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAhSpshmETnl
Present Day:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAXBuwKbRZqI
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJONp00SUkq
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
405Please respect copyright.PENANA3s4lQKz65w
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAs3S7AH5cqo
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAPzGNLJiogJ
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.”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAYH1q5ysPIy
“When she left the party, I left too.”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAqkaMEEpKpv
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA9rbUiyl7oW
Three angles of police suspicion:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAKPRp7a4RuS
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAihVqAH4DCc
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA62d5eTs00y
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAaetsXOnNiB
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAXS0bCpJu9V
Police questions to her parents:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAL0VRWgnTeX
“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?”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAfMAF4JkRgn
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAYieoq9W7Yf
Tracking the shirt cloth:
405Please respect copyright.PENANArLbSE9xXwx
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQBPUrtERQy
CCTV Investigation:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAWVt8iFsUeJ
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAF3p4xh1sqk
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAXQmEVvrinH
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAvt5LDMImbp
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAarOHbQS9gU
Two days later:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAMaPR3qW055
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
405Please respect copyright.PENANActBAPsvqn1
Lawyer’s Argument:
405Please respect copyright.PENANA8P6T3zg56F
“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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAw4lPiaHyRX
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Oqeppi7q
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJb9kbAx03W
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
405Please respect copyright.PENANA5IPxkOYbHO
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA2PLtxXrQNd
Back at home:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAeqlTYVtjPY
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAjXQVF0jmaR
Flashback:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAbKmeFPpFyp
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJKvXh0PbrA
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA3UODzx8NTW
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAh78E0iO4La
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQNE6XfqLoO
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAZDnzF976yp
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
405Please respect copyright.PENANApYnjIpClnP
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAvRKNdFMIwl
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAAGiinbkLkZ
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAvfheHhvGTH
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAOzkXZqFfAW
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAkFM0hdTcW0
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
405Please respect copyright.PENANASv1FQ4gM9a
Two months later:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAPPFlzvaY4s
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAc2dpl2sYnH
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJsX2kE6Fy9
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA24ob4VQkqT
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
405Please respect copyright.PENANAjSfJ490CNF
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAVpCVgKIiUk
What was in the video:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAdWODLVThr6
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA0fBVUahIZE
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAENGf39f3ry
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAyPYgZbp1Xi
Komal’s confession:
405Please respect copyright.PENANA1gHsDkdBQP
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAm3AZoJOEkY
“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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQXw0MmcN1S
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAiVECCurcmQ
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
405Please respect copyright.PENANAwlUf4ZrLBV
Police action:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAh82JJkQF5J
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA9k0hR3p6B6
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
405Please respect copyright.PENANAboX7fsCgTz
“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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAq5yXkmxjqX
The End…
