Next morning
0900 hours.
A car came into a halt in front of a house across the road. The driver sat inside the car for a while and waited for sometime. The person looked at the watch and at the gate. After sometime a man came out of the house and went towards the city. The person in the car came out and went towards the gate and went inside. Instead of going towards the main door, the person went to the backyard from an alley between the boundary wall and the house. Stealthily, the figure reached backyard and went directly towards some people who have been working in some a laboratory type place.
"Excuse me!" the person called out. All the people working there, looked up.
"Aap?" A boy said, amazed "aap toh wohi ho naa, jo kal aayi thi?"
"Ji main Purvi Malhotra hu, CID se. Ek case ki silsile mein mujhe aap logo ki help chahiye." Purvi said
"Ji batayiye" The boy said.
Purvi continued her investigation.
What? We will know later. Let's move to other cops!
Kavin was calling someone frantically. After some good minutes the person at the other end received the call
"Kya kar rahe the aap?" Kavin barked at the person while the person was taken aback.
"Ji aap kaun?" the person questioned
"Sorry, main CID se bol raha hu senior inspector Kavin. Aap Parth hain na? Woh tattoo artist" Kavin cooled down a little and asked calmly.
"Ji boliye, main hi Parth hu"
Kavin inquired him about the Tattoo and Parth let him know about the real artist of that specific tattoo they have been looking for. Parth send him all the details.
Sachin and Shreya went to search Natasha's room once again. Searching the room for umpteenth time, Shreya found a calyx near the window.
"Sir yeh dekhiye, yeh toh bilkul waisa hi hain calyx hain jaise humein dining hall pe mila tha. matlab Natsha ko uss raat hallucinations is ski wajahse hua tha. Purvi was right." Shreya forwarded the calyx to Sachin.
Sachin took it and had a closer look of it "Haan Shreya, yeh dikhne mein toh Belladonna ki hi lag raha hain. Iss khooni ne to koyi kasar nahi chodi Natasha ko maarne mein."
"Haan Sir. itna bhi kya nafrat ki wajah hogi!" Shreya agreed.
What happened 15 hours ago?
All the three cops looked at the panting form of Sachin with questioning gaze.
"Kya hua Sachin?" Kavin managed to ask.
"Jab hum green room ki pichle hisse ki chaanbin kar rahe the mujhe ek CCTV camera dikhayi diya tha. tab maine jyada dhyaan nahi diya. Lekin ab jab green room ki front camera mein kuch nahi mila mujhe laga iss mein kuch milega." Sachin plopped on the couch near Shreya and forwarded the CCTV footage to Purvi. She grabbed the CD and played the footage.
Kavin ordered Purvi to forward the footage play from 2p.m of the day.
The back alley was quite dark compared to the other parts of the hotel area. A small yellow fluorescent light was the only source of light.
"Sir yeh dekhiye" Shreya pointed to a silhouette drapped in black clothes from head to toe, going towards Natasha's room in the footage.
"Lekin chehra toh dhaka hua hain" Sachin replied. "Yeh andar gaya tha 2:30 ko aur bahar aaya 15 minute baad. Aur front camera pe dikh raha hain almost 1 ghante baad Natasha kamre mein gayi thi."
"Yeh toh confirm hain yeh kuch karne hi gaya tha. lekin kaun hain yeh." Kavin said rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Purvi, pause pause pause" Shreya almost screamed spotting something on the footage. Purvi paused the footage instantly and all of them concentrated on the paused part of the video. "Iske haath pe zoom kar Purvi" Shreya said and Purvi did so.
"Yeh!" Kavin and Purvi exclaimed in unison and looked at each other "Yeh hain murderer?"
"I can't believe this" said Purvi, letting out a sigh.
Just then Purvi's phone rang, with an incoming call from Dr. Nyla who informed her about an important clue.
"Sir pakka yehi khooni hain." Purvi pointed to the silhouette on the screen.
"Chalo pakad lete hain" Sachin got on his feet but Purvi stopped him saying she would gather some more strong evidence against the suspect the next morning.
Present Time:
Purvi took the evidence from Mr. Mehta's laboratory and called Kavin asking them to gather all the suspects together while she would be reaching in few minutes.
Shreya called all the suspects to their room and all of them waited for Purvi to reach. As soon as Purvi barged in, Suraj asked "Aapko pata chala kaun hain khooni?" instead of replying, Purvi closed the door behind.
"Pata toh humko kal raatko hi chal gaya tha, aaj toh doubt confirm karne gayi thi main. " Purvi smirked looking at all of them.
Shreya too joined in "Waise khooni ne toh bohot koshish ki apni pehchan chipane ki, kya kya nahi kiya, green room ki pichlewali raaste se andar gayi, poison ko badi salaki se victim ko khilaya, unki eyedrop mein milaya."
"Lekin mujrim hain, koyi naa koyi sabot toh piche chutna hi tha. aur chod gayi sabot, galtise. Ek chotasa sabot." Kavin added with his signature smirk.
"Pehle toh humein laga tha Nidhi Kapoor hain murderer, unke paas strong motive tha, murder karne ka." Sachin said.
"Lekin har kahani mein twist hota hain." Purvi looked at Suraj "Iss kahani mein bhi tha. Main uss din Sneha ki background check kar rahi thi, tab mujhe pata chala Sneha ki janam Shimla mein hua tha, aur jab woh 3 saal ki thi woh log Delhi shift hua. Suraj ki neighbour hain tabse. Kahani ka turning point yeh tha jab mujhe pata chala, Sneha saal mein ek baar Shimla aa hi jaati hain Tina Mehta se milne as dono families achhe friend hain."
"Tab humne Mr. Mehta matlab Tina ki father se baat kiya, tab pata chala Sneha ko pahari ped paudho ke bare mein bohot kuch pata hain, kyun Sneha?" Sachin looked at her as he asked.
The color drained off Sneha's face yet she managed to retort "Haan toh yeh koyi galat baat toh nahi hai ki mujhe ped paudho mein interest hain."
"Nahi Sneha ji, yeh gunah nahi hain ki aap paudho ki khabar rakhte hain" Kavin replied "Gunah toh yeh hain, ek paudhe ki jad aur patte ki se kisi ki hatya kiya jaaye toh. Kiya kiya nahi kya humne yeh pata lagane. Humare do officers ki insult ho gayi. Tab jaake humein yeh CCTV footage mila. Jahan pe aap saaf dikh rahe ho green room jaate huye. "
Shreya looked at Sneha and continued "tab humare paas call aaya forensics expert ki jisne humein bataya ki eyedrop ki lid mein jo finger prints mile hain woh complete nahi hain, matlab uski right thumb pe ek cut ka nisaan hain. Aur Sneha uss din maine tumhare right thumb mein katne ki nisaan dekh liya tha."
"Aur humara shaq tab confirm hua jab aaj mein Mehta ki employee se milne gayi" Purvi said "Usne mujhe kaha, ki jisdin show tha tum ussdin gayi thi wahan, green house ki taraf. Aur uss din sham jab woh log Belladonna ki juices ko marketing ke liye bhejne ke liye hisab kiya toh unn logo ko ek bottle kam mila. Ab yeh ittefaq toh ho nahi sakte, jisdin tum gayi ussdin juice gayab hua aur ussidin Natasha ki maut huyi issi zeher se. Kaise kiya yeh toh pata chal gaya humein." Purvi stopped for a while and looked at her "Ab batao tumne kyun kiya yeh sab." Purvi bristled making everyone quiver.
Sneha sat down with a thud on the chair and said, without any regret "Haan maine hi kiya. Maar daala maine usse. Kyunki usne mujhse mera Suraj cheen lia tha"
Gasps could be heard from the other people "Mujhe tumse cheen liya?" Suraj asked, quite surprised.
"Haan!" She looked at him "Maine bachpan se pyaar kiya tumhe suraj. Aur woh Natasha 5 saal pehle aayi aur tum usko chaahne lage? Mujhe toh tumne notice bhi kiya naa. Issiliye main pichle 3 saal se ek mauke ki intezaar mein thi. Aur woh mauka tab mila jab yeh Beauty pageant ki bare mein pata chala. Mujhe Ranjit Rastogi ki drugs ki business ki bare mein pata tha, issiliye maine usse blackmail kiya taaki woh mujhe dance group mein le le. Aur usne mujhe include kiya. Uss din show ki pehli raat usko maine jaan bujhke 3 belladonna ki fruit khilayi, zeher ki asar check karne. Jab usko hallucinations hua, pichle din main Tina ki ghar ek aisi time pe gayi jab koyi nahi rehta ghar mein. Maine greenhouse mein jaake woh bottle churayi aur mauka dekhke green room mein jaake eyedrop mein mila diya. Maar daala maine usse. she died because she loved him. Ab sirf tum aur main honge Suraj, humare beech koyi nahi aayega. Aur dekho maine woh tattoo ka design bhi banwa liya. Aaj main jaake yeh tattoo banwake aaungi." Sneha became hysteric. Suraj looked at her, disgusted.
"Nahi Sneha" Shreya said to her "Ab tum aur Suraj kabhi ek nahi honge. Yeh pyaar nahi pagalpan hain sneha. Pyaar ka matlab kisika jaan lena nahi hota. Pyaar toh Sacrifice hota hain Sneha. Iss janam mein toh tumaur Suraj ek nahi ho sakte."
"Aur Rastogi, tum bhi jaoge andar. Drugs supply karne ke karan. Kanoon tum dono ko kadi se kadi saza degi" Sachin ended.
The Shimla CID arrived by then and they handed the culprits.
One more case solved.
One more criminal sent to jail.
But, one more innocent soul lost its life just because she loved Suraj.
Yet, the life has to go on!
