After clicking the publish button on the interface, she desperately wanted to close her laptop and doze off. But it was then, she noticed something strange on her screen.

You filthy bastard.’ The inspector roared at him. ‘Stay calm bhai.’ You said. The inspector asked you to start interrogating Chandan as he was out of his mind. You started interrogating Chandan. ‘Mr. Chandan, we know that you were with Smrithi that night. The fingerprints prove that, and your mobile tower as well. Don’t try to act too smart.
