Breaking News: Cold-Blooded Murder Shocks Jivapur Community.

A horrifying incident has left its residents in a state of shock. In a brazen act of violence, a cold-blooded murder has taken place, sending shockwaves throughout the community.

The gruesome incident unfolded late afternoon today when a bystander reported a dead body found at his residential property on Ganesh Street.

Law enforcement swiftly responded to the scene, discovering a grisly crime scene that bore evidence of a cold-blooded murder.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the victim, identified as Mr Rajesh Sharma, a local drug dealer, was brutally attacked near Ganesh Street. The motive behind the heinous act remains unknown at this time, and investigators are working tirelessly to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident.

Despite the investigation, the only question remains unanswered.

Will these brutal and cold-blooded murders ever stop in Jivapur???

- Anonymous Reporter.

Her eyes went wide seeing the images of the man who was brutally murdered. She recognised the face. It was the same guy who misbehaved with her and Aditi.

She zoomed in the pictures and stopped the cursor right at his forehead. There was a stamp. Leaning in her chair, she zoomed the stamp and it wasn't clear.

Through the blurry image, she could make out what was stamped on his forehead. It was the symbol of a sword engulfed in flames.

Her breath hitched in her throat when realisation hit hard upon her. She connected the dots.

It was her stalker who did the job and she knew it now.

The same guy who sent her the letter killed someone because he misbehaved with her.

Was he there when it happened?

And then, she remembered something else.

Aryan was the one who hit him black and blue.

Is it you, Aryan???

I don't think so!

He doesn't look like a psycho stalker and a killer...

It's always them. Those who look innocent and act innocent are the ones hiding their true colours.

" Who are you....?" she closed the laptop and massaged her temple.

Ever since she read that article, she couldn't focus on anything else.

Somehow another teacher had engaged the class and Parul was free.

She was so worried right now. She wasn't dealing with just a stalker. She was dealing with a possible psycho-killer. It scared the shit out of her.

Closing her eyes, she tried to piece everything together trying to find that killer plus stalker.

" Excuse me, Ma'am.." She opened her eyes to the soft voice of Ramesh, the security guard of the school.

" You have a parcel ma'am" he placed the brown bag on the table. 

Her eyes widened again.

" Sir...who gave the delivery..?" she urged, standing in front of him.
