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:-
16Please respect copyright.PENANAD61wjGPDrZ
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6j4TpFDQF
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.PENANAHqpJM3DYxD
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAFKc0AlLLvc
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.PENANA19rUYEtuqe
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.PENANAEWJo6OQK4I
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.PENANADOOlmxC7Z8
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.PENANA8Xfy05LHnJ
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.PENANAmsjXcHJSp7
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.PENANAXMNO0q1fhE
The next day:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAEepkkjZ2Ue
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.PENANAoObAcpojEQ
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAROvGWK3VNm
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAubLS4BaVNr
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.PENANANnBtvLC7jh
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAIjJ9Ysyvf3
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAmEgGUlrPLV
“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.PENANAEDZaugHxDv
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.PENANAqH7Olp9im1
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAvhH5PffMiH
At the sunshine apartment:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAy1tLewcGu8
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAEiV3yrfE45
In the bathtub…
16Please respect copyright.PENANApJjxqE5xJW
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.PENANAfSjIUWFQJ1
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.PENANAZ75rvhDNDA
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.PENANA5hSnwO8FJb
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.PENANA0bRG5y0ndr
Forensic Report Findings:
16Please respect copyright.PENANA9wgnZA8GQV
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.PENANAQj2dxiSCHP
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.PENANAJtja9uqPLf
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
16Please respect copyright.PENANABq9NvJIswf
That night:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAedlPudcrZk
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAyPBNIuSi1G
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.PENANAnvsbaJAGZj
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.PENANAP6Ba7rrZbu
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.PENANAqnMhO1jrVD
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.PENANAtGm2tHN4BM
Present Day:
16Please respect copyright.PENANACpd8l47Qgv
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.PENANA2yUKkF4nlB
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
16Please respect copyright.PENANAXgG8Mr0k1W
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.PENANAPNGXHLKxFN
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
16Please respect copyright.PENANADVwzKddHjX
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.PENANAhh4SYdFO0A
“When she left the party, I left too.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAtyVyRIFA1n
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAn9KMOQtyLK
Three angles of police suspicion:
16Please respect copyright.PENANA866eba50P6
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.PENANAuoIysdLWDs
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAsWY8ODbwPk
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
16Please respect copyright.PENANACCt1ZQd70L
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
16Please respect copyright.PENANANkCPvqboMG
Police questions to her parents:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAQQKnvYPbZA
“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.PENANAdMMu9xBeoP
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAG079iODbaW
Tracking the shirt cloth:
16Please respect copyright.PENANASBwf20sXZP
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.PENANAzTFeVeUz7I
CCTV Investigation:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAa4qYvozJB6
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAFABAIiw3Dt
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.PENANA4bl7xEkSAU
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
16Please respect copyright.PENANABQUQS2jX2F
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.PENANAXVzeU8Fkpd
Two days later:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAWTN61zJMCl
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAE0vbIQkIhV
Lawyer’s Argument:
16Please respect copyright.PENANADWMBXvufJH
“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.PENANA0yNS7OLidn
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.PENANALczCxTBCED
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAMnfISQ7tUU
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
16Please respect copyright.PENANA1N9V9jUjGw
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.PENANAa8BnQxbw3S
Back at home:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAZbLWbQ5Z2o
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
16Please respect copyright.PENANA9z7p5Z6h4Q
Flashback:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAXR74zh22cE
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAnpNnafYWCi
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.PENANAeCm4LvKSru
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
16Please respect copyright.PENANADq7kSmOdzR
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4jXXtSWRY
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAcEcNzaAPRv
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
16Please respect copyright.PENANA4Etf04X07M
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAndLfWDDs28
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.PENANA3308ZgkvMf
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAO8cIxKNgFz
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.PENANAqEDizWMNVS
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAhiYSVWSKTk
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAzGkplpdNhy
Two months later:
16Please respect copyright.PENANA94K3QZCvuY
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.PENANANG2sBme3yx
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.PENANAOqb2e46A9z
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.PENANA5REmndkUUa
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
16Please respect copyright.PENANAzL48Kena3G
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
16Please respect copyright.PENANAyh0GHQk3a3
What was in the video:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAITBBLxRRYS
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.PENANA2FeBC6WERd
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.PENANA6bf9WenJgi
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.PENANA8Hcw2CVKuW
Komal’s confession:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAFOJCp9qZWm
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAFGzMHndsGZ
“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.PENANABRtubuWW4D
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.PENANAAJXwG2CgY8
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
16Please respect copyright.PENANAtezCwGySrS
Police action:
16Please respect copyright.PENANAMUeS8e7cz2
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
16Please respect copyright.PENANADSDRwlff2d
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
16Please respect copyright.PENANA6VVjz7G63T
“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.PENANA3VbjKT2Z1d
The End…
