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:-
247Please respect copyright.PENANAE3OWcpx43F
Gopi (Gopala Krishna) is a delivery boy. He makes a living by delivering couriers, food, and groceries.
247Please respect copyright.PENANABLJidmBUjm
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJVndFtTLLy
Gopi’s father is no more. His mother supports him financially by working as a tailor at home.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMn7BcmSteT
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQxL7WVjRxK
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).
247Please respect copyright.PENANAI8p6PSj4K6
Seeing that girl, Gopi stopped his bike. The girl asked him for a lift and said she needed to go to Sunshine Apartments.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKMrWf2GQQF
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4YDX1Cfzgc
The street lights had all gone out… the rain was heavy. Gopi started his bike and let the girl sit behind him.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8L5kdfj2My
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAeMyAe0OdTx
The next day:
247Please respect copyright.PENANA1BvUe0x2bO
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhP1oRHpVfg
Throughout the ride, Gopi’s heart grew heavy. He didn’t know what mistake he had made and was anxious.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbR6fQ8HwCd
Inside the police station, Gopi couldn’t make sense of what was happening and remained silent.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAi7UcsP4zcu
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?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANA3wtOmt0TNH
Gopi’s eyes widened. “Sir, which girl?” he asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQH1jjI2sM3
SI: “The girl you gave a lift last night at 1:00AM? Anita, that was her name?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAiJMsTaQ7Zf
“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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEXzPmzFuQF
SI: “She was found dead in Sunshine Apartments. You were the last person with her at 1:00AM. Tell us the truth, Gopi!”.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJMPLGJp5me
Gopi was trembling. The false accusations against him, the things he didn’t know… his mind was in turmoil.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYQC8q6CRDj
At the sunshine apartment:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAY3JmkSo3oj
The police were now at the apartment where Anita had died.
247Please respect copyright.PENANArnUB89ku7i
In the bathtub…
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8yBPXOsnpR
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAALbMm5pRuY
There were injuries on her wrist as well, making it seem like Anita had attempted suicide. The entire bathroom was covered in blood.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKvm8caLUpG
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANACcAk8sVFCh
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAU6lglLeiPk
Forensic Report Findings:
247Please respect copyright.PENANACfvYFccMYw
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAiRoPBAkLe3
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdA3H0UsS5i
In the interrogation, dark truths began to come out one by one.
247Please respect copyright.PENANALRsT72Xbod
That night:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAHHbDTTwaTn
Anita had gone out to meet her fiance, Komal, for a pre-wedding party and bachelor party.
247Please respect copyright.PENANABKHxumMFh1
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkLMZQsJbgp
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAH7nR4JvUIa
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMWpnPJKFtb
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuzofh1sutr
Present Day:
247Please respect copyright.PENANATcOBW81kgr
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA78M3EXjqT2
In the interrogation room: Komal – Anita’s fiance!
247Please respect copyright.PENANACywkZUnlaw
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA57RKHPAAzn
In the next room: Rahul – the ex-boyfriend!
247Please respect copyright.PENANAVmpK2S2Ndv
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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxedIjLmdpe
“When she left the party, I left too.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmxuJIDXgnd
The police were investigating Rahul, Gopi, and Komal over and over again. They suspected all three.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAHD7TFyYCpQ
Three angles of police suspicion:
247Please respect copyright.PENANANMSqUoTzi4
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAlXvD4SUUR1
The police were matching the shirt cloth to these three. They were searching for who matched the evidence.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA9pdBAQwNE2
Interrogating Anita’s parents:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzzNvKkAy4R
The police went deeper, questioning Anita’s parents. But it seemed her family couldn’t help much.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAzzSeziszu
Police questions to her parents:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGU3ZGBzJyp
“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?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAix2UE74EkG
Her mother: “Anita was always happy and satisfied. This marriage too was her decision. She never showed any secrets or anger.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAoanEn1p12v
Tracking the shirt cloth:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAETe27CHNQ8
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYF99AUMJlZ
CCTV Investigation:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUkxJNGgdy5
Sunshine Apartments… that night, at 1:00AM, the CCTV footage was missing.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkvJMZkQaRx
Internet failure and the rain had blurred the footage. Even the main road cameras had no record of any cycle or car.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA28cyIHUlgA
After surveying, the police narrowed down three main points:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjANhsurwRM
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMq94iP3eb8
Two days later:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAwrgh0obqrw
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the police station changed. Gopi’s mother brought a lawyer she knew.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAT4bE652h1E
Lawyer’s Argument:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAaalw3ZJx1D
“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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANARQCN3C9IDV
Forensic reports show Gopi’s DNA didn’t match. The shirt cloth is from a common brand… so it’s not real evidence.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOBbIzdRBTQ
“You haven’t even filed an FIR against Gopi. It would be better if you released him, considering the circumstances.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkVR8QdWYtf
The police released Gopi on strict conditions:
247Please respect copyright.PENANASjDEwWnmdA
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJV8LPvxoQq
Back at home:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAa4h3wOBrla
Gopi sat on his bed, thinking about that night.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPMySDRLIxx
Flashback:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAV12p28OWPL
That night, it was raining heavily. At that very moment, a girl asked for a lift.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmQpeXQoXUy
As soon as Gopi saw her, he felt an unknown joy. That girl was none other than Anita, the girl Gopi had feelings for.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAle8h4GZdSS
At Sunshine Apartments, Regularly Gopi delivered a parcel to Anita’s house. Through this, Anita and Gopi developed a good friendship.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGdV9qLdANw
But Anita always saw Gopi only as a friend. Gopi too, knowing his own situation, kept his feelings hidden within himself.
247Please respect copyright.PENANABAm2z469OB
Suddenly, at 1:00 AM, Gopi saw Anita and, since she was someone he knew, he offered to drop her home.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbPuuvRO9nG
Rahul was watching all this from a distance.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA91B0ipNu61
Rahul then started following Anita and Gopi, quietly trailing behind them.
247Please respect copyright.PENANADRXwkIK29M
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAaSceUOewFJ
Gopi declined, saying “No,” and left from there.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAcS1jDEYj96
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAqKYjSMIKas
Seeing that, Rahul got scared and ran away from there.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAd091bQ2VnK
The police couldn’t find any clues behind Anita’s death, and two months passed.
247Please respect copyright.PENANANhdF86hqap
Two months later:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAneriBPXkTT
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAFe7XmeiTk8
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuQvCPJqbK7
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAILLpuic3Hn
Immediately, Gopi went to the police station and showed the video to the SI (Sub-Inspector).
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8tiuidHJnm
The SI called Komal to come. Seeing the video, Komal became silent. A guilty expression appeared on his face.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA39JwlNnnjr
What was in the video:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPNVBtElTzH
After Gopi dropped Anita off that night, Anita went back to her apartment alone. Her parents had left to their hometown for wedding work.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAx0B4GvBHl7
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAh0orWgqrrd
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA2FD6u57Cxm
Komal’s confession:
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4dRcvMnSjh
After watching the video, Komal revealed the truth:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOVLABzXYDD
“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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkAKJzcpFE4
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdYhPORLyTY
Because of her psychotic love, she killed Anita. I never imagined it would end up like this.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbeh3wzzf9O
Police action:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxCwn1R9jDO
The police went to where Mala was staying, arrested her, and sent her to a mental hospital.
247Please respect copyright.PENANARAESGXZSmd
Gopi standing near Anita’s grave:
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYazDHGwsoQ
“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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8GneWv6BWO
The End…
