Earlier:
Akshaya was found murdered in her house.Inspector Dutt investigates and so far has not found a skewed trace that ultimately could help him close the case.The prime suspects he ticked on were Jaggu(servant in Akshay's home who was found missing),college mates of Akshaya -Punit and Shravan and the unknown figurine named X-man who could be any..
Time: 7 pm on the same day of the murder.
The postmortem report read thus "Suspected timing between 12 am and 1 am.Cause for death is found to be a sharp cut in the jugular vein leading to lack of oxygen to brain.No case of semen traces found. A 'Y' shaped sybtle impression on the lordotic curve in the cervical spine which could have added further blockage of blood to the brain and unconsciousness at the strike"
The rest of the postmortem read about the blood clotting rate,counts of various fluids etc ,which Dutt had no interest in noting down.The last line of the postmortem read "The last intake of food is supposedly between 8:30 PM to 9 PM and no additional intake is recorded after the mentioned time".Dutt noted down the details and called the doctor who made the report. Dr.Rishi was quick to respond" No Mr.Inspector..definitely not an attempt of rape and not any trace of poison".Dutt thanked Dr.Rishi and hung up.The plot thickened more.
Neither the traffic police nor the IT techie enjoys the multitude aspects of job research.One controls the traffic and boots the social system by mastering the fear task parody.The other visualises the world via the connected web and performs his monotonous task for upgrading his/her career.But this is crime.A matter of life and if missed may be a matter of lives.Dutt's expertise in criminology gave him more room for the already ticked 'suspects list'.He now leaves to his room while listing out the possible persons involved.His next day investigation will begin with Punit.(refer chapter 1)
Today at 12 PM:
After wrapping up his investigation with Punit,a police constable was put on duty by Dutt to track him unknowingly.Dutt had an intuition that Punit might not be the one who murdered but definitely should know more about the incident.For the time being,he acted as if Punit was his prime suspect in order to get him to an open discussion.Dutt then drove back to the police station where he was informed about the affair of Mr.Pratap Rawat with Dr.Nirupama.Unfortunately Nirupama happens to be Akshaya Rawat's mentor for her studies and works in the same college of Akshara as a professor of cardiology.
"Wow..This definitely is going to be a case of excitement."-Dutt smiled on hearing this new information.
Dutt contacted his friend Ram who works as Assistant Superintendent of Police in the district of Lakhimpur,Assam.The reason was, Jaggu the missing servant belongs to Boginadi,a small village in Lakhimpur. Since Boginadi is a very small village Ram responded in three hours saying,"No traces of Jaggu since the date you said she was murdered".Ok,now that was a vital information for Dutt.He recompiled his list again.
The brain works:
"One.Jaggu could be the prime suspect.He has not gone to his home town.Maybe he already should have known that he would be tracked if gone there.He haven't called his parents either.That is perfect 'zero in' answer for calling him the prime suspect"
"The next on list will be Shravan along with Punit. But since no signs of sexual assault reported,neither Punit nor Shravan have a strong motive to take the extreme step.Young guys commit heinous crimes only based on their testosterone pumping level.But may be, there could be another reason."
"Next on list ,is Dr.Nirupama.No specific reason but autopsy clearly mentions a well judged cut in jugular vein right above the trachea and a very subtle impression on the cervical spine.Trained experts alone can do it.But had she been that insightful,she should have gone for alternate method of medical poisoning.Further she has no specific motive to do this."
The thoughts of Dutt made his sleep a far reaching dream.In the mean time he suddenly recalled about the car that was complained as missing from Mr.Prakash's garage after the night of the murder.That too points towards Jaggu.Having faced enough pressure from his superiors in the past two days,he considered to fix his eye on Jaggu as the murderer and finally gasped a loud yawn before his sleep.
Dutt receives a call at the dawn hours from the constable Joseph "Sir..the car is found near Vasant Vihar bakery street and some jewels and a torn dress are found along with.Jaggu's voter id and a miniature size saw blade sir."
"Wait a minute..why would he leave the evidence blatantly and that too not very far from the scene of murder.!!!"-Dutt asked annoyingly.
