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:-
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0tPNMGzcYB
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyWSy65DpVU
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAt35dXFzYc
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
206Please respect copyright.PENANABDI1FDEwY3
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Qj9BtMu2
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).
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0EhFzZx7Zz
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGG87zB2U1q
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANABxbItidTv1
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKUH888Hpjh
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAi7n3GI46eS
The next day:
206Please respect copyright.PENANA9EPUFGHqSF
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAv16Qh8rzdW
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA5j2mCZ1uHB
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAwOfWCzlKEy
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?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7CaAdfOEpc
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAm0dcOBo2lF
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAs5r34gUL9L
“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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Na0p5cAh
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAfUwTNGhRb2
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0yq7y3hUjR
At the sunshine apartment:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAB1uK0kG5U7
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzw5pYm7IPn
In the bathtub…
206Please respect copyright.PENANAJuxNCbvmwn
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAejvJFAq6K0
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
206Please respect copyright.PENANASo0fLQxO8o
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAjcLw6B7Kf
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMEt2u3pILw
Forensic Report Findings:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPqM1n9j0JB
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA2mPEEDxTHU
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA4g8pGW7j8P
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8k5neXQOwv
That night:
206Please respect copyright.PENANA3DVMSQOSxi
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUUwHQW3K46
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAOgnBdE7wIO
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKH6R6bLigr
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAaKOcxmkbiZ
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANADgFqybaWxc
Present Day:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGbxvcfidmV
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAgC7X5Br4FS
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtWJtsshAH8
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA4vZamN5n2l
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGHEHCjzvXf
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.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAYOlfwx43mv
“When she left the party, I left too.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z3a4Tj2iN
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAciDqkfDDtR
Three angles of police suspicion:
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8kK6rsxNdU
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAu4fYHZlNUF
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPM3WUPJF5E
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGVaJQAuVkU
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAbN403XQPFw
Police questions to her parents:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAQGazmZQGgC
“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?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANALrt2PvWI3U
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAO6mMcl1sMC
Tracking the shirt cloth:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAILyKaL56Ci
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAoUtQcRRsSc
CCTV Investigation:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzjxyuOM9WF
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAJmoy1XGTS1
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKdy4nThsCn
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtjkPd9THcX
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAsWLvMXLS5E
Two days later:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmFIuaQUKtl
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
206Please respect copyright.PENANARY6A84aaCt
Lawyer’s Argument:
206Please respect copyright.PENANApLxBENNmoQ
“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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAiOOZbXRqP8
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA6F7M7tAX2i
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAnACffU3vVo
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAnLglKhveVR
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMkY9wjhcNO
Back at home:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqX2jYitaAQ
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAtbbRXfhAX
Flashback:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzv9lBdmRV5
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
206Please respect copyright.PENANADvnq2mQXh3
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAN4JDI5UbwX
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAISbUFsRu3b
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA72Zz5QUMNF
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAc4a2ryEb5
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
206Please respect copyright.PENANABlNymPKHZy
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAjKMaElHOsu
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAgcMV5QK4tG
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAOiK5yH5nPR
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANApjdjtiC7k3
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVEUaqiZTWt
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
206Please respect copyright.PENANASveFOAAfsl
Two months later:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMLUvj30rft
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUAIMNTDodX
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAdHst5rfyc
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyn9z09tuS4
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
206Please respect copyright.PENANACWujOXmKEw
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAuq4xxI6YB0
What was in the video:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAYkGw9JYuQq
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAfrZX80UbmZ
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAbhGVuduvrC
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAH1cNu1fLG5
Komal’s confession:
206Please respect copyright.PENANALWLgFD0pWV
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAht6FWXgPFP
“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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKMPt10fxSf
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAfp1SQ6AzfS
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAJXnCfzJtNn
Police action:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAdIUUMa1ScC
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkPywj3E783
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
206Please respect copyright.PENANAINEc4uTzx6
“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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAdeWwvGgjyi
The End…
