2017 का अट्ठाईसवां केस
Case 28/2017
Alleppey, Kerala
The villagers of Alleppey made a grim discovery when they found the
lifeless body of a woman in an abandoned well. The body appeared to be more
than 2-3 days old, a conclusion confirmed by the postmortem report. Upon
closer examination, the villagers noticed something written on the woman's
wrist in the Kannada language, which read "Prasad." The police speculated that
this might be the name of her husband, child, or father, but no one in the
village recognized the woman. In an effort to gather more information, the
police disseminated the woman's photo to their informants in the village.
Eventually, a villager recognized the woman and revealed that she used to sit
outside the Shiv Temple. When questioned about the reason for her presence
there, the informant explained that she was a beggar who would frequent the
temple with her two children. The police investigated further and discovered
that the woman's name was Geeta (real name Shobha and played by
Trishna Mukherjee), and her children were named Krishna and Sakshi. The name written on her
wrist turned out to be her husband's name.
Geeta had entered into a love marriage with Prasad (real name Raju and
played by
Swapnil Kothriwal) a decade ago. During that time, Geeta used to collect scrap while Prasad
worked as a scrap dealer. They fell in love and got married. The police
interviewed Geeta's landlord, who revealed that a few months ago, he had to
visit Geeta to discuss her overdue rent for the past three months. Geeta's
uncle, Rajeev (real name Manunatha and played by
Ali Raza Namdar), was present during the visit and paid the landlord three months' rent
along with a two-month advance payment. The police subsequently contacted
Rajeev to inform him about Geeta's demise and inquire about the whereabouts of
her children. However, Rajeev was unaware of their current location.
A relative of Geeta informed the police that Prasad had been missing for the
past eighteen months. Prasad's alcoholism had caused frequent conflicts
between him and Geeta. As a result, Prasad emerged as the primary suspect in
the police investigation, leading them to believe that he might have killed
Geeta and fled with the children. The possibility that someone else was
responsible for Geeta's murder raised concerns about the safety of the
children.
