Hidden Hues Of Henna

"Anna,it is quite impossible to say if we can get the exact person. The IP address is of an entirely different continent so it is impossible to know the location. It's all through one encrypted server." Dev explained quietly as he gestured to the screen of his iPad."But as of now the account has been suspended and sharing has been curtailed.I will ask my man to  give it another shot but I am not sure if he can find the person who posted it."

Raghav wordlessly took in all that he said and nodded at him mechanical before gesturing Farhaad something through his eyes. As he expected, Farhaad graciously dismissed the PI and made sure to close the door to the den after him.

Just as Raghav heard the door shut,he jumped out of his seat and picked up the chair by the handles before smashing it down to the ground,not flinching as the wooden legs of the furniture crippled under his attack.

Farhaad stood patiently on the other side of his desk watching him demolish the fourth chair in the same week.

After the night he got to know of his sister's scandalous violation,he wasted no time in hurrying his mother and her to the safety of his mansion. He could already see the people of their locality making rounda around the house and he was pretty sure that if he left them there they would never be safe in any case. As expected none of the two opposed or questioned him.While his mother was saintly silent,his sister seemed to have lost all her sense completely.

It took a hefty amount of money and Dev's reference for Raghav to hire a class A hacker who was able to rubish some links and to the footage of his sister and disable sharing by effective cyber threats.Thankfully,the media was not very popularly forwarded or uploaded.From what Raghav was informed it was more of the local chatting apps which were passing it along. Apparently the people who had no clue about the girl in the video had a larger honour and more dignity than people who identified the girl as Keerthy and went around sharing it to tell everyone who knew of her.

Five whole days Raghav had paid attention to nothing but eradicating that video from the face of the earth. Once that being done to a certain extent,he had focused on finding the culprit. Because in Raghav's mind,he was sure this was not just an accidental leakage some random creep chose to do. It was a very calculated plan by someone who wanted to harm him.

"Anna,this is all not necessary.We did all we could. We checked the entire hotel staff,we checked Keerthy's co-workers, her neighbours and even her boss.Nobody seems to have done it.We should just accept that this was somebody unknown.Now is not the time to get desperate about the culprit. It is more important for you to focus on Keerthy first. She is not coping well,you know that." Farhaad spoke calmly,his words lined with a silent plea.

Raghav knew whatever he said was correct. Keerthy was truly not coping well. The minute he had brought them both to the mansion,she had numbly entered a room and locked herself in. They could hear her weeping through the open window but she never let anyone inside.The maid had to use a spare key to deliver her food but all other times Keerthy never left the room.Raghav felt she was partly doing it out of sheer embarassment and partly out of fear of what he or Jaya might question her of.His mother was somewhat better but Keerthy looked inconsolable.

Despite that Raghav needed to get to the bottom of this matter.He needed to know if it was a random pervert who happened to be there in the hotel corridor at that very moment or was it done by someone with ulterior motives to hurt Keerthy or him through Keerthy. Raghav had a gut feeling that it was the latter and if so,he needed to know who did it.
