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:-
87Please respect copyright.PENANAogHwM7je0y
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAYsOdecQzDY
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAaEZ7KpCXnV
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAeg7ZxcAS3I
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANA8x14n82QGr
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).
87Please respect copyright.PENANAUaWLALU7PR
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAG7vitmekOg
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAKqKy28JHdY
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAywwDwoAKI9
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAYFBqyd3oC1
The next day:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAMs02DMYlVd
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAEn7vy41h0M
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAYuSR4Rt6U9
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAD08rrQechQ
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?”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAvtNmfals2o
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAxkL7d6dDrN
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAjnUPkYm5vC
“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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAEfznuSdW6m
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAibftnNDgwA
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
87Please respect copyright.PENANASnK4dxhm6o
At the sunshine apartment:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAmaf74ykDj4
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
87Please respect copyright.PENANATk8RPJCMnW
In the bathtub…
87Please respect copyright.PENANA9qrgzCbMBP
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAeHE0VagLok
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAPyklzAIbfI
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANA9uKIcYLV8r
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAkiuy1GgH5r
Forensic Report Findings:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZbjXcZpc
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANA5AHPXjIJkO
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAGaIWarmogF
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
87Please respect copyright.PENANA5vgjTo47AH
That night:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAeHPk8kV6Ud
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAajQhOXVxyV
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAjiZ4S8ex2E
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAlwztwNINJI
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAAB4SZoqtfH
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAAbYni9G3oI
Present Day:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAEgfp7f8vH8
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAZuY1Cpk8aS
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
87Please respect copyright.PENANAo6kjQnQSFk
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAhaJlGLlSAh
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
87Please respect copyright.PENANAvUvAI2WO2N
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.”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAWNWLpy7TGR
“When she left the party, I left too.”
87Please respect copyright.PENANA6w7FB4R4tf
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAPw6B4SdiFA
Three angles of police suspicion:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAbsO3ycu9DI
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAao0MrM1Uan
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAOx9eMNpE80
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAnGitURcdq0
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAKAdmatewlT
Police questions to her parents:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAuwOm2QJMeV
“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?”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAqFgCl046tt
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAMy0omKavfW
Tracking the shirt cloth:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAa75nApMCn6
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAkQCRreJ7St
CCTV Investigation:
87Please respect copyright.PENANArJOEelwQii
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAU7WPRhNUp6
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAdwPFYhUsGe
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAxG7Ux3BMXM
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAszk7spQiJp
Two days later:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAHRnyZLdg0M
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAXR3iybwbj8
Lawyer’s Argument:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAKNgEk3QpY4
“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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANASQGlQB1Ov7
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAmc8LajNwsu
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
87Please respect copyright.PENANA8orbhxPtUQ
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
87Please respect copyright.PENANASYsxO6jjKQ
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAFxW9fysc50
Back at home:
87Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgRQM7nKh
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
87Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yu875A0PA
Flashback:
87Please respect copyright.PENANA4zrtHSvLIw
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAvVHUjqCZF0
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAbD0tVxhydE
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAqi3HIIXM6y
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAYnGQw8JfBm
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAfCJzwjeNBE
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAXYdQsF7xRr
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAhagOGX1RHP
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAEVMcIHQX1N
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
87Please respect copyright.PENANApecbjvKXyp
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAaTkMpuXkha
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
87Please respect copyright.PENANABufJ6OJXT8
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
87Please respect copyright.PENANARf19xaAYfd
Two months later:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAJkKLQJg55O
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAkLQ0pnaPXj
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAfIX3oN8z83
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAO32DCerSoW
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
87Please respect copyright.PENANAV82uUXLQvD
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAM90VmsXuEm
What was in the video:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAA8RbeaS9TQ
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAZrUTPNTGwI
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAE7uW4r2dV4
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAGi2b2rQuEX
Komal’s confession:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAR4s9ekX2JY
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
87Please respect copyright.PENANA05jubeGk6p
“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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAg1tAcVF0oE
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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAUyE8Y6xUah
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
87Please respect copyright.PENANAoU4DgGH7KN
Police action:
87Please respect copyright.PENANArf4tuEJZ6v
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAGUj2Zgdzcj
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
87Please respect copyright.PENANAmgpN1DAAgS
“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.
87Please respect copyright.PENANAhSXQlsfzcJ
The End…
