I called you. Is the postmortem over?

No sir. Doctor says the report will

be ready only by this evening

I will ping you when it is done

I t is ok, Rajaiah thinks this is suicide

To what extent?

What?

To claim the victim shot himself

at the park seems a little odd, right?

The gun had fingerprints

of only the deceased

That too in the rain, it was really faded

So we thought this maybe a suicide

We too cannot say for sure sir

Ok fine, I am on the way to the crime spot

After checking, I will call you

if I need any other information

Sure sir- Whole of today I will be

using only this mobile

So next time,

do not ask me who this is!

Is this the crime scene?

Over there, sir in the cut road

Any police map?

- No, sir

Mr. Aditya vetoed it

not wanting to attract a crowd

Get me a glass of water

Did he say, he saw the white car here?

Sir, we did not see any car

when we arrived here

He has simply exaggerated

thinking he will get a reward

The media is not in the loop, right?

No, sir, we have not

informed anyone as yet

Case was filed by a newspaperman

Yes, sir

If it leaks out we will be in a mess

Do not worry, sir. I will take care

Gowtham, clean the car on that side

I cannot be sure who did this

But I have 3 suspects in mind, sir

Who...?

3 boys who live in this area, sir

They take this route

real late hours at night

I have seen them often

They look like affluent boys, sir

There is a good chance of them owning a gun

Either they should be

connected with this case

Or I feel if we interrogate them,

we will get some clues for sure

Do you think so?

- Just a gut feeling

Whatever a policeman believes

he must trust his intuition!

That is why

What if your intuition is wrong?

In most of the crimes with no clues...

...the criminal has to be caught within

48 hours is an unwritten rule, right?

But according to Crime Branch

this could be a suicide case

Shooting a man and placing a gun in

his hand is an outdated technique

We do not have any

evidence or clues as yet

How will we nab him?

Sir, I know I am crossing my limits

But if I do not ask you this,

my head will explode

Instead of just holding a stick...

...and doing a watchman job

I want to get involved in such cases, sir

Do what is only assigned

to you by your superiors

Do not unnecessarily

What is your name?

- Gowtham sir

I joined duty only yesterday

I was informed of the 2 new recruits

I could not meet them

Rajaiah, call our station

Ask someone else to come to the spot

- Ok sir

Gautham will be with us in this case

- Thank you sir- Get in

Are you sure this is the house?

- Yes, sir

The red Skoda is right there
