perfect crime

Shehar ki sabse badi aur alishan Art Exhibition mein ek khaufnaak sannata chaya hua tha. Exhibition ke main hall mein log paintings dekh rahe the, lekin peeche wale private cabin mein ek alag hi khel chal raha tha. Cabin ke andar Mr. Singhania apni mehengi kursi par bejaan pada tha. Jab police wahan pahunchi, toh unhe teen ladkiyan—Anya, Zoya aur Riya—cabin ke bahar mili. Wo teeno buri tarah kaamp rahi thi aur unke chehron par aisa darr tha jaise unhone koi bahut bada haadsa dekh liya ho. Inspector Vikram ne bina waqt ganwaye un teeno ko custody mein le liya aur interrogation shuru ki.
Interrogation room mein mahaul bilkul garam ho gaya. Inspector Vikram ne jab sawal-jawab shuru kiye, toh wo teeno ek-dusre par toot pad rahi thi. Anya ne gusse mein Zoya ki taraf ishara kiya aur chillayi, "Isne hi sab kiya hai! Maine ise cabin se nikalte dekha tha!" Zoya ne palatwar karte hue Riya par ilzaam lagaya aur kaha, "Jhoot mat bolo! Riya ke paas wo saboot tha, maine khud dekha tha!" Riya bas rone ka natak kar rahi thi aur baar-baar keh rahi thi ki wo bekasoor hai. Unki is aapas ki bhayankar ladayi ne Inspector Vikram ko poori tarah uljha diya tha. Use samajh nahi aa raha tha ki kaun sach bol raha hai aur kaun jhoot.
Case ko suljhane ke liye Inspector Vikram ne ek saath do jagah chanbeen karne ka hukm diya—Exhibition hall aur un teeno ke ghar.
Pehle exhibition hall mein police ki team ne bariki se jaanch shuru ki. Wahan ek bahut hi mehengi aur badi painting ke peeche unhe ek Ghadi mili. Wo painting Anya ne banayi thi, lekin wo gallery Riya ki thi. Ghadi par laal rang ke dhabbe dekh kar Inspector Vikram ko laga ki yahi wo khooni saboot hai. Usne turant wo ghadi lab bheji. Dusri taraf, police ki ek team un teeno ke gharon ki talaashi le rahi thi. Anya aur Riya ke ghar se toh kuch khaas nahi mila, lekin jab police Zoya ke ghar pahunchi, toh wahan unhe ek tuti hui chhoti si chip mili.
Vikram ko laga ki usne case solve kar liya hai. Usne teeno ko samne bithaya aur kade lahje mein kaha, "Ab tumhara khel khatam! Anya ki painting ke peeche khoon se sani ghadi mili hai aur Zoya ke ghar se wo chip, jise tumne todne ki koshish ki thi." Lekin tabhi lab se report aayi jisne Vikram ko sochne par majboor kar diya. Ghadi par jo laal dhabbe the, wo asli khoon nahi balki sirf laal paint tha—wahi paint jo Anya apni har painting mein istemal karti thi. Aur Zoya ke ghar se mili chip itni purani thi ki wo kisi kaam ki nahi thi.
Inspector Vikram ab kaafi pareshan ho gaya. Use ehsas hua ki ye teeno use bhatka rahi hain. Wo phir se crime scene (cabin) par gaya aur is baar usne har ek kone ko dhang se check kiya. Wahan Singhania ke joote (shoes) ke neeche ya cabin ke ek hidden drawer mein use ek aur asli dikhne wali chip mili. Vikram ne turant use play kiya. Usme Mr. Singhania ki kaampte hue awaaz mein ek recording thi. Singhania usme qubool kar raha tha ki business mein huye bhari loss aur mental trauma ki wajah se wo Suicide karne ja raha hai. Usne saaf kaha tha ki uski maut ka zimmedar koi nahi hai. Vikram ne thak kar ek lambi saans li, file par 'CASE CLOSED: SUICIDE' likha aur teeno ko riha kar diya.
Jail ke bhari darwaze se bahar nikalte waqt Anya, Zoya aur Riya ne ek-dusre ki taraf dekha aur ek aisi shatir smile di jo unki jeet ka saboot thi. Raat ke andhere mein, shehar ke ek gumnam aur personal secret room mein teeno phir se ikatthi hui. Wahan na koi darr tha aur na hi koi rona. Anya ne ek file kholi aur kaha, "Singhania ka kissa hamesha ke liye khatam hua. Wo samajhta tha ki wo humein aur baki logon ko torture karke bach jayega, par use nahi pata tha ki maut uske kitne kareeb hai."
Humein pata chalta hai ki Singhania bahut hi darinda kism ka aadmi tha, jo business mein dhokha deta aur logon ko mental aur physical torture karta tha. Isliye un teeno ne use maut ki saza dene ka plan banaya. Unhone hi use majboor karke wo suicide wala bayan record karwaya tha jabki asliyat mein unhone hi uska kaam tamam kiya tha. Paint wali ghadi aur Zoya ke ghar ki tuti chip sirf Inspector ko bhatkane ka ek mastermind plan tha taaki wo asli saboot tak na pahunche.
Tabhi Zoya ne apna laptop dhire se band kiya aur apni mutthi kholi. Usme ek chamakti hui choti si chip thi. Zoya ne un dono ki taraf dekh kar kaha, "Inspector ko jo mili wo toh sirf ek khilauna tha... Asli chip toh mere paas hai." Is asli chip mein Singhania ke saare illegal business ka data aur uske bank accounts ki detail thi. Unhone na sirf ek bure aadmi ko khatam kiya tha, balki uske poore samrajya par kabza bhi kar liya tha. Raat ke us sannate mein, wo teeno apni jeet ka jashn mana rahi thi.
The End.
