3

"Anna shaant ho jaiye police investigate kar rahi hai." Farhad tried stopping Anna who zoomed past everyone towards their bedroom.

"Farhaad mereko janna hai ki idhar kya hua hai!" he shouted turning back on the stairs.

"Aur hum jaanenge Anna lekin abhi police apna kaam kar rahi hai na." Farhad replied.

"Lekin main intezaar nahin kar skta hai. " he snapped back trying to walk inside his room only to be stopped by the guards.

"Sir aap andar nahin jaa sakte yahan investigation chal rahi hai." one of the guards stopped him only to recieve a death glare in return. Inspector heard the commotion and hence ordered the guards to let this beast in.

"Sir abhi kuch pata nahin chala hai. Poora ghar saaf kar chuke hai woh jaise yahan kuch hua hi nahin hai. Kuch bhi missing ya broken nahin hai." he informed him.

"Nahin Rana idhar kuch toh gadbad hoyega. Mera Pallavi weak nahin tha." he spoke back looking around when his gaze fell on a particular space on the wall.

"Farhad" he spoke.

"Kya hua Anna?" Farhad asked.

"Idhar se woh photo gayab hai. Mera aur Pallavi ka photo idharich tha woh gayab hai." he spoke.

"But hume koi frame nahin mila hai sir bass ma'am ka phone mila hai jisme last text Mr Farhad ko bheja hai unhone." Inspector Rana replied.

"Sir woh cctv footage aa gayi hai." one of the constable informed them and hence they all moved down to the hall. The family was inconsolable, Amma held Raghav's hand who didn't recirpocate anything back. As if his soul had left his body long ago and what stood was a cold flesh figure.

"Isko tv par connect karo." Rana ordered and soon enough the footage was played. everyone covered their eyes to not able to face the worst but got confused because in the initial 15 seconds they watched a few men in masks walk through the doors as they spryaed black paint all over the camera lenses.

"Damn it! Inhone sab cover kardiya hai." Farhad spoke in anger.

"Mr Rao hume inhe identify krne main kaafi tiem lgega. Maine road ka cctv footage mangwaya hai lekin kuch keh nahin skte hai." Rana spoke but Raghav, well he stood where he was.

"Anna aap sunn rahe hai na?" Farhad kept his hand on his buddies shoulder.

"Video rewind kar" Raghav roared to which Rana too gave an approval. 10 seconds into the video and Raghav shouted them to pause. He walked to the big screen eyeing a particular man.

"Kya hua Anna?" Farhad asked.

"Jay" Raghav spoke in a whisper.

"Kaun Anna?"

"Jay Krishna Rao. Yeh gang ka mark ussi ke wrist par hota hai. Krishna Rao ka beta." Raghav roared while Amma shut her eyes knowing the wrath that was supposed to follow. Raghav pulled the table down on the floor crashing everything with it.

"Krishna Rao!!!!" he screamed as Amma held him.

"Raghav shant hoja abhi hume thande dimaag se kaam lena hoga. Woh bahut dangerous hai."

"Amma woh Krishna Rao merese mera Pallavo chheen liya usko main maar dalega. Zinda jala dega usko main." he screamed when his phone pinged with a message.

Main jaanta tha ki mera Raghav bahut smart hai. bahut jaldi pehchaan gaya mujhe. The text read. raghav looked around to understand who must have leaked the information from here but found everyone engrossed in their works.

"Kaun hai Anna?" farhad asked.

"Woh Krishna Rao woh jaanta hai hum kya kar rahe hai. Woh-" before he could speak any further his phone pinged again with a video this time. raghav looked up at farhad who quickly understood his Anna and attached his phone to the tv.
