3 – Revelation!!

Posted in Serial, Stories by Mridul K Singh on April 10, 2009

I am a little sober now. May be the winds effect. I am still naked but don’t feel the physical pain anymore. I am looking at my skin. It has become so pale, so strange. I don’t have any thing to do, rather don’t want to do anything. It is 2:30 AM, i am still on NH-8, While I was supposed to be in Mahipalpur at this time.

“Rabindar, Uth beta”, Maa is calling me. I have just woken up, its 11 in the morning, I don’t know how I have reached home, may be one of my uncles got me here. TV was on, I changed it to the news channel, there was some pretty reporter telling about the increase in crime in Gurgaon and Faridabad, I laughed to myself that with the elections near what do they expect. Suddenly she points to the same Scorpio which I had stolen yesterday night. I could recognize the number plate. It had all the mirrors shattered, with the bullet marks strewn across. Reporter is telling that the same Scorpio was used in the murder of lady IT engineer on Faridabad road recently. With the encounter of the goons traveling in the Scorpio, police is claiming to solve the double murder mystery of IT Executive and TV journalist. I suddenly remember those faces who had put a pistol on my head. I am numb. I don’t have any feeling.

One of the two, who were responsible for my pitiful state was dead. Tall, Thin, Big eyes with Horse Shoe mustache was still at large. Later that day, with more news pouring from different-different news reporter, it was confirmed, that the leader of the slain group was Amit Tomar. Who is still alive. My eyes brows got tensed. Blood rushed into my eyes. In my fit, i don’t even remember, when i broke my finger bones.

Other news, which took my attention off the Tomar was a small news clip of Manish Hooda. Desi, who just returned from Amrica, was stopped yesterday in Gymkhana Gurgaon. One unknown person, on a gunpoint stripped him off the belongings and his Scorpio. He made it to the news, not because he was the owner of the encountered Scorpio, but because he is the youngest son of Haryana Chief minister. He failed to testify that Raj and his gang abducted the Scorpio. But did recognized the “Katta” used in the encounter. There are news of a larger gang involvement in the case. The case is not yet solved.
