The Massacre That Happened

The Massacre That Happened

It was June 28th, 2012.

Raj had recently been appointed as the ACP of Mumbai. At just 32 years old, he carried a reputation for intelligence, discipline, and an unusually calm temperament. But behind his steady eyes lived something heavy — something unfinished.

That evening, Raj visited his old friend Sanjay, the Inspector of Bandra. The city outside was restless as always — traffic horns, distant sirens, waves crashing somewhere far near the sea — but inside the apartment, it was quiet.

They sat across from each other with cups of tea, talking about routine cases, paperwork, and the burden of responsibility.

After a pause, Sanjay leaned forward and frowned.

“Sir… why is your left hand so badly burned?”
Raj looked at his hand for a moment. The skin was scarred, twisted slightly — like it had once faced fire and survived 

“It’s a long story,” Raj said quietly. His voice had changed —softer, distant. “A story I can never forget.”

Sanjay watched him carefully.

“Did you ever feel,” Raj continued, “that someone betrayed you? Not just anyone… but your best friend?”

Sanjay shook his head lightly. “No, sir. I’ve never felt that.”

Raj gave a faint smile. Not a happy one. A knowing one.

“You still have a lot to learn, kid.”

Both of them laughed — the kind of laughter officers use to push away uncomfortable truths.
And then—

BANG. BANG. BANG.

A violent knocking shook the door.

The laughter stopped instantly.

They looked at each other.

Another bang. 


Harder this time.

Sanjay quickly moved toward the door while Raj instinctively stood up, alert. Something felt wrong. The air had changed.

As soon as Sanjay unlocked the door—

A woman collapsed forward onto the floor.
She fell at their feet.

Her body was trembling. Blood soaked her clothes. One of her arms had been brutally bitten — flesh torn, hanging unnaturally. And lodged deep into her right eye was a thick iron rod.
Sanjay froze.

Raj knelt down immediately.

The woman’s breathing was uneven, shaky, like every breath hurt.

She grabbed Raj’s shirt weakly.

“P… please…” she whispered. Her voice cracked, barely audible. “Help me…”

Tears mixed with blood on her face.

“Someone… is killing everyone…”
Her grip loosened.

And in that moment, Raj’s expression changed completely.

Not shock.

Not fear.

Recognition.

Whatever had begun that night… he already knew.

And somewhere deep inside him—
The past was returning.

The ambulance siren screamed through the silent streets as Raj and Sanjay rushed a wounded woman into the hospital.

Doctors and nurses quickly surrounded the stretcher. One of the doctors examined her and said in a serious voice,

“She needs a special treatment immediately. Prepare the emergency room.”
Before Raj or Sanjay could ask anything more, the hospital doors burst open.
Sub-Junior Inspector Ramani ran inside, breathing heavily.

“Sir! Raj sir! It’s an emergency. Please come outside—fast!” he shouted.

Sanjay immediately frowned. His voice became cold.

“Ramani, calm down. A police officer must stay calm in every situation. We solve cases quietly, without creating panic.”

But when Ramani whispered what had 

happened, Sanjay’s face turned pale.

For a moment he stood frozen.

Then his legs weakened.

He fell to the ground.

Raj grabbed him by the shoulder.

“Ramani, send a team of officers to the location immediately!” Raj ordered loudly.

“Sanjay, get up! Go and wear your uniform. We cannot delay—not even for a second.”

Outside the hospital, sirens began echoing across the town.

Because something terrible had happened.

Something unimaginable.

The Juhu Garden Massacre

The entire town was in panic.

In Juhu Garden, 28 people had been brutally killed.

The bodies were in such horrifying condition that even experienced doctors and police officers could barely stand the sight. Some doctors stepped away and vomited.

The garden that was once known for its beautiful trees, colorful flowers, and peaceful paths had turned into a garden of blood.

At almost every step, investigators saw five or six broken human teeth scattered on the ground.
Pieces of lungs and liver were lying among the grass.

The air smelled of blood.

Flies buzzed everywhere.


There was no doubt—these people had suffered the worst deaths imaginable, deaths no human being would ever wish for.

Raj walked deeper into the garden.

Near the iron gate stood a parked bus.

The door was slightly open.

Raj slowly climbed inside.

The moment he stepped in, his heart froze.
Inside the bus, the seats were covered with dark red blood. Human livers and broken teeth were scattered across the floor. Windows were cracked. The smell inside was unbearable.
But then Raj heard something.
A small voice.

Crying.

From the back seat, a child looked at him.
The boy was only seven years old.
Half of his body had been horribly eaten, yet somehow he was still alive.
Through painful breaths the child whispered,
“P-please… call… my big brother…”
Raj rushed toward him.
The boy grabbed Raj’s hand weakly.
“Please… go to St. Catherine Xavier’s School… you will find…”

The boy tried to finish the sentence.
But his voice slowly faded.
Raj stood there, his fists clenched in anger.
The Town Under Fear
The next day, Bandra was placed under lockdown.

Schools were closed.

Parks were surrounded by strict police security.
People locked themselves inside their homes.
No one knew who—or what—had caused the massacre.

The CCTV Footage
At the police station, Varyapashistra, a 25-year-old junior police inspector, ran toward Sanjay’s office.

His eyes were filled with fear.

“Sir! Sir! I found the CCTV footage from Juhu Garden!”

Sanjay, Raj, and Ramani immediately gathered around the monitor.

The footage was dark and blurry.
But then a figure appeared.

A five-foot tall man slowly walked across the garden path.

He was wearing a long black coat.
On the back of the coat was a strange symbol—
an inverted church cross.

The man stopped.

For a moment, he looked directly toward the camera.

Then the footage suddenly went black.

Silence filled the room.

Raj finally spoke.

“Sanjay and Ramani, you two work with IPS Dev Singh. Keep a close eye on this criminal. I want patrol teams everywhere.”

Then he turned toward Varyapashistra.

“You’re coming with me.”

“Where, sir?” he asked.


Raj’s voice became serious.

“To St. Catherine Xavier’s School.”

“Because whatever happened in Juhu Garden…”

Raj looked again at the paused CCTV frame.
“…the answer starts there.


The woman screamed in panic, her voice echoing through the empty school corridor.

“Brother! Kill them! They know our secret! We can’t let them escape!”

In the primary section building, a huge, fat man roared like a wild beast. With terrifying strength, he smashed through a wall, pieces of brick and dust flying everywhere.

On the upper floor, hidden behind a broken window, Varyapashistra and Raj watched silently.

From the darkness they saw the man’s monstrous strength.

Raj whispered, his voice shaking,
“We… we can’t fight that thing directly.”

Varyapashistra nodded slowly.

“That man… he is the principal of this school. And the woman… she must be his sister.”

Raj looked around nervously.

“But then… where is the manager?”

Varyapashistra’s eyes widened slightly.

Raj replied in a low voice,
“Maybe… he went to kidnap more children.”


---

Meanwhile, in the second building, the woman walked alone through the dark hallway.

She muttered to herself,

“Maybe the Scissor Man will finish the children quickly… Someone has already discovered our secret.”

Her cold laughter slowly faded into the silence.


---

Bandra – near Bandra Fort.

A quiet tourist place at night.

The sea breeze moved gently through the empty streets.

Standing near the old stone wall was a terrifying figure.

An eight-foot-tall man wearing a white shirt, white pants, and a long white coat.

His face was hidden behind a white smiling mask.

In his hand he held a giant pair of scissors.

The man tilted his head and spoke softly.

“I only need… thirty children's hearts.”

He let out a slow, disturbing laugh.

“Heh… heh… heh…”

June 30th

Inside the police investigation office, Sanjay, Ramani, and Dev Singh were discussing the strange deaths happening in the city.

Dev Singh was furious.

“Because of Raj’s mistake, a massacre happened! And now an ACP is missing!”

Just as he was about to send a police team, his phone rang.

He answered.

Suddenly his face went pale.

On the other side of the phone, his wife was crying uncontrollably.

“Our daughter… our seven-year-old Pari… she’s dead…”

The phone slipped from Dev Singh’s hand.

He collapsed to the floor.

Sanjay rushed toward him.

“Sir… four children’s bodies have been found… and… one of them is your daughter.”

For a moment Dev Singh said nothing.

Then slowly he stood up, his eyes filled with pain and rage.

“We will find that man… and we will kill him.”

His voice trembled with anger.

“There is no forgiveness for someone who did this.”


---

Dev Singh began studying the cases.

“Tell me all the locations,” he ordered.

Sanjay explained:

“One child… near your house, close to Juhu Garden.
Another… found near a tree.
And two bodies… discovered near Bandra Fort.”

Dev Singh looked at the map.

He began noticing a pattern.

But before he could act, another case arrived.

Another child… killed in the same mysterious way.


---

July 2nd

The police were still unable to catch the killer.

From CCTV footage they only knew one thing:

The killer wore a white mask and a white coat.

By now… fifteen children had been killed.

Fear spread across the city.

Many parents began leaving Mumbai with their families.

Dev Singh suddenly had an idea.

“Gather all the children in one large hall,” he ordered.

“We will surround the place with police protection.”

He believed it was the safest way.


---

July 3rd

From a distant rooftop, the masked killer watched the police preparing their plan.

He laughed quietly.

“So… this is your strategy.”

He tightened his grip on the giant scissors.

“Then it’s time… for some action.”

“Heh… heh… heh…”


---

12:00 AM

The security around the hall was extremely tight.

Over 100 police officers surrounded the building.

Ramani and Sanjay were commanding the teams.

Dev Singh stood at the entrance with armed police officers.

Suddenly…

From the shadows…

A tall white figure stepped forward.

The masked man.

His white coat was stained dark.

In his hand… the giant scissors gleamed under the light.

Dev Singh shouted,

“Shoot him!”

Gunshots echoed through the night.

But the bullets didn’t stop him.

The masked man moved like a nightmare, attacking the officers one by one.

Panic spread everywhere.

Sanjay tried to fight him.

But the killer caught him easily.

Within seconds Sanjay collapsed.

Ramani charged forward bravely.

But the killer struck again.

Dev Singh screamed in horror.

“NO!”


---

3:00 AM

The battlefield was silent.

Police vehicles destroyed.

Bodies lying everywhere.

Only Dev Singh and the masked killer remained standing.

Dev Singh looked at him and said quietly,

“I know… I can’t defeat you.”

The killer tilted his head.

“Then why did you fight me?”

Dev Singh smiled bitterly.

“Maybe I can’t destroy you…”

“But I can destroy your ritual.”

Before the killer understood what he meant—

Dev Singh pressed a remote button.

Inside the hall where all the children had been gathered—

A massive explosion shook the night.

The killer screamed in rage.

“NOOOOO!”

Suddenly a strange voice echoed through the air.

The voice of Kankurtara.

“You fool… You destroyed my ritual.”

“I take my power back from you.”

“And now… this city will suffer.”

Dark clouds covered the sky.

Lightning struck the city again and again.

Fire spread across Bandra.

The night turned into chaos.

And the city burned.

I’ll keep your story the same, but rewrite it with clearer language, stronger atmosphere, and more emotion so it reads more like a horror novel.
Three Days Earlier
Raj and Varyapashistra stood silently on the second floor of the primary section, watching the monstrous fat man below.
The man moved like a beast, smashing walls as if they were made of paper.
Suddenly…
The fat man stopped.
Slowly, he lifted his head and looked directly at them.
For a moment the corridor became completely silent.
Then the monster roared and began rushing toward the staircase.
Raj whispered in panic,
“He saw us!”
Within seconds the fat man reached the second floor.
There was no time left.
Without thinking, Raj and Varyapashistra jumped from the window.
They crashed onto the ground outside the building. Pain shot through their bodies, but they forced themselves to stand.
They both knew the truth.
They could not defeat that monster in a direct fight.
Varyapashistra spoke quickly,
“Listen carefully. Distract the fat man. I’ll deal with the bandaged woman.”
Raj looked confused.
“The barrier around the school… someone created it. That monster is only destroying things.”
Varyapashistra’s eyes became sharp.
“The barrier must be her work.”
Raj nodded.
Without wasting time, he grabbed a stone and threw it at a nearby window.

The glass shattered loudly.

The fat man immediately turned toward the sound.
Meanwhile, Varyapashistra quietly entered the school building.

He walked toward the principal’s office, where the bandaged woman stood alone.
She whispered to herself,

“It’s unfortunate those people heard our lord’s name… but it doesn’t matter.”
She laughed softly.

“The important thing is… they don’t know where our real bodies are hidden.”

Behind the door, Varyapashistra smiled.
Moments later he reached the main stage of the school hall.

Below the stage was a small storage room where festival decorations were kept.

Inside the room he found something strange.
Two bodies.

The real bodies of the fat man and the bandaged woman.

The fat man’s real body lay completely still.
Around it was a strange star-shaped symbol drawn on the floor.

Varyapashistra stared at it.

“So this is why the monster couldn’t move far…”
He picked up a bottle of petrol from the storage room.

“I don’t need to understand everything,” he whispered.

“I just need to burn it.”

Outside, Raj continued running from the fat man.
But eventually the monster caught him.
The giant grabbed Raj easily and broke his arm.
Raj screamed in pain as he was thrown to the ground.

The monster slowly lifted his foot, preparing to crush Raj’s head.
But suddenly—

The fat man’s body began burning from inside.
Flames spread across his skin.
The monster roared in agony.

Within seconds, the terrifying creature turned into ashes.

Raj lost consciousness.

Inside the school, the bandaged woman suddenly screamed.

“No! Brother!”

She looked around in shock.

“How is this possible? No one knows where our real bodies are… except…”

Then she remembered a face.

“Varyapashistra…”

Fear filled her eyes.

“No… he can’t be here.”

She began running toward the main stage.
When she arrived, she saw him.

Varyapashistra stood calmly beside the burning body.

Petrol can in his hand.

The woman froze.

“Why… are you here?”

Varyapashistra slowly turned toward her.
His eyes were cold.

“When I was seven years old,” he said quietly, “I was the one who killed everyone in this school.”
The woman’s eyes widened.

“You and your brother used to beat the children here every day.”

His voice grew darker.

“I was bullied… and no one helped me.”

He paused.

“Except one person.”

“A boy… eleven years old.”

“He wanted to change this entire world.”

Varyapashistra smiled strangely.

“I worship him like a god.”

“But he died twelve years ago… saving us.”

His voice echoed through the empty hall.
“And now…”

“I am his successor.”
Suddenly—

Gunshot.

The bandaged woman screamed and fell to the ground. The bullet had shattered her leg.
Varyapashistra walked closer.
“Goodbye.”

He poured petrol over the body and set it on fire.
The flames rose high into the dark hall.

Later, Varyapashistra carried the unconscious Raj outside the school.

It was July 1st.

They walked for hours before finally finding a house.

A man opened the door.

Seeing Raj injured, Varyapashistra decided to stay there until Raj recovered.

July 4th

Raj slowly opened his eyes.

A doctor was sitting beside him.

Varyapashistra explained calmly,

“The man who helped us lives here. His wife is a doctor.”

“Our car broke down, so we had to stay.”

He paused.

“There’s another thing.”

“The city of Bandra… caught fire.”

“Many people died.”

Raj looked shocked.

“That’s terrible…”

July 10th

Because they had disappeared for several days, Raj and Varyapashistra were suspended from school for twenty days.

They didn’t bother explaining the truth.

They knew no one would believe them.

Later that evening, Varyapashistra traveled to Sion Koliwada.
He entered an old abandoned school.

Inside the hall, fifteen teenagers were waiting.

Varyapashistra walked onto the stage , he wears a mask and looked at them.

“My dear children,” he said calmly,

“We will change this world.”

“And we will keep our god’s name alive.”

The teenagers watched him in silence.

Far away, in Kankurganchi village, a dark figure sat alone.

Kankurtara smiled slowly.

“I used too much power to destroy that city…”

He looked at the sky.

“Just a few more years.”

“Then I will be free.”

His laughter echoed through the empty village.
“Heh… heh… heh…”
