Just as she turned to leave, she stepped on a newspaper. As she bent down to grab it and placed it at a height so that it wouldn't get stepped on by others, the picture on the newspaper grabbed her attention. But what made her world turn upside down was the headline, "Dead body of Mumbai's top psychotherapist, Mr. Ram Kapoor, still unrecovered."
