CASE DETAILS
Indrajit Malpani and Nabin Malpani were two brothers. They actually belonged to Delhi but they were residing in Kolkata for the past 10 years. Indrajit was the elder brother but Nabin never used to call him “dada”. Nabin used to call him by his name. Indrajit has told him several times that he is exactly 2 minutes and 31 seconds elder than Nabin and as Indrajit was born on 31/12/1979 exactly at 23:59:27 and Nabin was born on 1/1/1980 exactly at 00:01:58, so from that viewpoint Indrajit is 1 year older than him. Nabin should call him “dada” as a mark of respect. Nabin also used to tell him, “I will call dada only to one person in this planet and that is Shri. Sourav Ganguly and no one else.”
But behind these false and funny quarrels , they had infinite love and dependence towards each other. After all they had to be dependent on one another as they do not have their parents. Do not misunderstand. “Do not have their parents” does not mean that their parents are dead. Their parents are alive but dead for the two brothers. Since from their early childhood, they have seen their parents quarrelling and insulting each other. They have made several efforts to stop their quarrel but all their efforts were in vain. Every day, their father used to go out of the house in order to print money, that is, for doing business and their mother always used to go out and remain attached with some party or the other may be it is a kitty party or social party or whatsoever.Their parents used to compensate their loss of time and love with money.
Indrajit and Nabin had all types of precious toys, two computers in their single room with various types of gaming softwares installed in it and a LCD fitted into their rooms including air conditioner and other peripherals. But, they did not want that. They wanted some time and love from their parents which they never got from their parents. Indrajit and Nabin had made several efforts to stop the quarrel between their parents but all their efforts were in absolute vain. They have cried, shown anger but that did not melt the stone heart of their selfish parents. Their parents never hesitated to burn their innocent children in the fire of their quarrel.
When Nabin and Indrajit got a bit older, they realized the fact-when your house is caught on fire, then at first you should try to put off the fire, but if you cannot do so, then you should move out of the house and save your life. So they left their house and came to Kolkata before 10 years in search of job, happiness and peace without telling anything to their parents. They were working in a company named, “Index Tools” which made computer software.
Nabin was a member of the Board of Directors and Indrajit was only a sub ordinate employee in the entity. There only they became friends with David, Ashutosh and there was one more person called Irfan. They became friends in one shot. Their friend circle consisted of these five gentleman. The entire office used to call them INDIA—–due to two simple reasons–one due to the first letter of their respective names and also due to the fact that this friend circle consisted of members of all the three main religions of the world–Hindu, Muslim and Christian.
That day was also like any other day. All of them were waiting in front of the metro station in order to go to the office together. They were about to enter the metro station when suddenly Indrajit said that he has forgotten his umbrella in the nearby pan shop and he asked the rest of them to go inside and wait for him in the platform and he will be coming in a moment.
Nabin said, ‘I did not know that you eat pan also.”
Indrajit did not say a word but he went away in order to bring his umbrella from the nearby pan shop. So the other four went inside the metro station and waited for Indrajit in the platform. They all were waiting for Indrajit when suddenly Nabin’s phone rang. When he brought out the mobile phone from his pocket, a small piece of folded paper also fell down from his pocket in the platform which Nabin did not notice at all. Irfan quickly picked up the folded piece of paper and by unfolding it, he came to know of the fact that it was a love letter from someone to Nabin.
Nabin was busy talking in the mobile phone, and so he did not pay any attention to the paper. But suddenly when his eyes saw the paper in his friend’s hand, he then without even disconnecting the line tried to get the paper out of his friend’s hand. But friends were all making fun of Nabin and were asking of the secret lover who in this modern technological world still believes in love letters instead of sms or mms. Nabin then tried to get the paper out from Irfan’s hands but he threw it to David and when Nabin went to David, he threw it to Ashutosh. This was happening. Moreover, Nabin actually feared that if Indrajit comes to know of the fact, then he might start making fun of Nabin even in the house. When Ashutosh threw the paper to Irfan, he missed it and by taking advantage of the situation, Nabin tried to get the paper and pick it up.
Irfan with an attempt to pick it up, pushed Nabin, but Nabin lost his body balance and he fell into the train line. Nabin tried to get up but suddenly a big light came running towards him with a very high velocity. It was a metro train and it crushed Nabin right in front of their eyes. His whole body was crushed into pieces right from his head to his toe. It was horrible for anyone to see and more horrible for a friend to see and it can’t be imagined that it was how much horrible for a big brother to see that scene.
David, Irfan and Ashutosh stood motionless for a moment and there was pin drop silence in the entire platform. But suddenly the level of chaos was increased by a minimum of 100% in the platform. The metro authorities came running along with the police present there. By this time, the metro train that had crushed Nabin also stopped and the driver walked out in the platform. But he then quickly got into the train again so that the train can be removed in order to recover the dead body of Nabin.
When the train was removed, the scene was horrible. Nabin’s whole body was parted into small pieces and there was blood all over. One woman in the platform vomited by seeing that and some took off their face from looking it. In the mean time Indrajit arrived in the metro station and he was amazed on seeing the chaos going on there. He came inside the metro station in order to search for David, Irfan, Ashutosh and his brother Nabin. Finally, he saw David sitting quietly inside the platform with his head bowed down and when he came towards him the face of Irfan and Ashutosh also became prominent who was standing besides them.
He came and stood besides them and asked them with a sign of curiosity that what happened there. Suddenly his eyes missed the presence of his brother. He enquired to them at first about his brother and when they did not get any answer from them, he asked directly to David, “Where is Nabin?”-
–in a rich tone being with nervousness and his heart beating first. David then stood up like a guilty person and said everything to him. It was a bolt from blue for Indrajit. He was just stunned on hearing all this. He was silent, his eyes red and his body shaking with anger. Irfan also came towards him and said sympathetically, “It was an accident.”
Indrajit looked towards him and slapped him in his face so tightly that Indrajit’s finger print was stumped on his face making his cheek red. After that Indrajit shouted at Irfan,
“You are a murderer, a killer. You killed him by pushing him from the platform.”
Irfan pleaded, “I did not do it intentionally. It was an accident.”
Indrajit shouted, “Oh! Shut up. I will kill you. I will make you pay up for your guilt.”
By saying this, he held Irfan’s collar so tightly that he was unable to breathe properly. But David and Ashutosh rescued him from Indrajit. Indrajit was furious with anger at the first but finally tears ran down his eyes and he became calm after a certain point of time.
One year passed after that and the injuries of time slept inside the mind. One fine morning David, Indrajit and Ashutosh were waiting for Irfan to come so that they can go together to their office. He is not usually late and so it was a bit strange for them. Indrajit said that he will be going to see that where is Irfan. So, Indrajit left in order to go to Irfan’s house. Irfan’s house is at a distance of 5 minutes from the metro station. But even after 30 minutes Indrajit did not turn up. So, David and Ashutosh also went to Irfan’s house and when they opened the house door, whatever they saw was just mysterious.
They saw Indrajit was lying on the floor fainted. So, Ashutosh quickly ran into the kitchen in order to bring some water to throw it in Indrajit’s face in order to bring him back into sense. As soon as Ashutosh went inside the kitchen, he was just shocked. He then called David and whatever they saw was just cruel, brutal, inhuman and obviously mysterious. They saw Irfan has been murdered brutally. The murderer had at first smelt him chloroform in order to make him unconscious and then the murderer had tied Irfan’s hands at his back and inserted his head into the burning flame of gas. His whole face has burnt and by seeing this Indrajit might also have fainted. Finally Ashutosh threw some water into Indrajit’s face so that he could come back to sense. Suddenly David’s eyes caught a piece of paper in the table of Irfan and something was written on it in red ink.
LIFE IS A SEA AND WHATEVER YOU WILL GIVE, IT WILL RETURN ONE DAY. YOUR ACT IS WAITING FOR YOUR CONSEQUENCE.
It was not red ink–it was written in blood–Irfan’s blood. The police came and investigated the matter but still investigation is going on.
These were the case details that were provided by David and Ashutosh to BEN. David and Ashutosh requested BEN to check the matter but Ellias said that they can check the matter only if they can get a cheque on completion of checking the matter. David and Ashutosh readily accepted the condition and the amount was fixed at Rs.50, 000.00.
Though it was a very nominal amount but still they did not bargain as it was their first case and also their first chance to prove themselves as well as to the world. Nakul then stood up and shook hands with David and said that Mr. David and Mr. Ashutosh will not regret giving them this case. After that Nakul shook hands with Ashutosh and asked for his contact number. But Ashutosh said that he did not have a mobile phone as it causes cancer. After that Nakul, Ellias and Barsha went away from there to their respective houses with the taste of cappuccino coffees and pea nut butter cookies in their tongue.
THE PLANE JOURNEY
On the next day, the trio were sitting in Nakul’s house and thinking that where to begin the investigation. They knew that first chance of doing something is the last chance of creating a good impression. Nakul suddenly breaking the silence said that he is of the opinion that they should begin the investigation from the place where Nabin’s life started——-in Delhi. So Nakul asked David and Ashutosh to book 3 tickets of a flight to Delhi and they did so as per their words.
The trio had never rode a plane before. So when they rode the plane, they had a mixed feeling of fear and excitement. Nakul was sitting in the window side, Barsha in the middle and Ellias was sitting on the other side of Barsha. The plane was about to take off in 15 minutes. The air hostess came and they were giving an explanation and demonstration about the safety measures that should be complied with while they are in the flight. Finally it was only 5 minutes remaining and now it was finally announced to the passengers to tie the seat belts in order to comply with the safety measures.
Nakul, Ellias and Barsha also tied their safety belts and now they were waiting for the flight to take off. Ellias then called Nakul silently and said in a low tone so that no one but the three of them could hear his words,
“Hey dude, look at the air hostesses. They are so hot and smoky.”
Nakul looked at one of the air hostess and just smiled at Ellias, but Barsha looked at Ellias irritatingly and said, “Shut up.”
Finally, 5 minutes was over and the flight took off. When the flight was just running in the highway and was about to take off, the plane gave an upward pressure. Barsha, as a consequence, due to fear, held Ellias’s hands tightly. Ellias then turned towards her and asked her in a curious manner with a wicked smile, “Why did you hold my hand?”
Barsha with an attempt to hide the real truth that she was scared, said to Ellias, “Actually, I hold your hand because I thought that you will be scared due to the upward pressure as because you are riding a plane for the first time.”
Ellias then said angrily, “Do not lie. I think you were scared due to the upward pressure and that is why you held my hand. Am I correct ‘beer’?”
Barsha replied to him, “Do not call me by that name. Moreover, I wasn’t scared. I just thought that you will be scared and that is why I held your hand and nothing more than that.”
Ellias said something but Barsha did not pay any attention to that and looked on the other side. By this time, the flight had already been in the sky. So, Barsha just watched out of the window in order to see the scenery. It was just awesome and beautiful. The clouds were flying beneath them and through some of the light clouds, the grounds can be seen. It was so beautiful. The entire city in the ground was so tiny. Barsha by this time had completely forgot the quarrel that took place between her and Ellias a few minutes ago.
She then turned towards Ellias and said, “Look, the scenery is so cool and beautiful. Isn’t it?”
Ellias also replied, “Its beautiful, but I do not think, it is cool. Just so hot.”
As soon as Barsha heard the term ‘hot’ from Ellias’s mouth, she turned towards him and said, “What?”
Barsha then understood that Ellias was looking at the beautiful air hostess in the plane. Barsha felt a bit amused and said to him angrily,
“Do not look at her like that. What will the other passengers think? Just stop staring at her like this.”
Ellias replied without moving his eye balls from the air hostess “I do not care what the other passengers are thinking. I just want to have a little chit chat with the girl.”
Barsha said, “She won’t.”
Ellias then finally moved his eye balls from her and then looking towards Barsha said, “Challenge?”
Barsha also said, “Challenge.”
Ellias then quickly opened his seat belt and called the air hostess. The air hostess came and asked with a smile, “Yes Sir. May I help you?”
Ellias also looked towards her and said with a smile in a dude type, “Yeah. Actually, I am not able to tie my seat belt. Could you please help me.?”
The air hostess said with a smile, “Certainly. It is my job.”
By saying this, she tied Ellias’s seat belt and while she was tying his seat belt, her face came so closer to Ellias, that Ellias could practically smell her presence. Finally the air hostess tied his belt and asked, “Anything else, sir.”
Ellias said, “Yeah. Please do not call me Sir. My name is Ellias.”
The air hostess replied with a smile, “No sir, how is it possible? After all, you are our passenger.”
Ellias then nodding his head in a negative manner said, “No, not at all. Call me Ellias.”
It was clearly evident that the air hostess was enjoying talking with Ellias and Ellias’s manly and muscular body with handsome personality was clearly attracting her.
The air hostess then smiled and said, “Ok, sir.”
Ellias then looked towards her and said, “Sir?”
The air hostess then smiled and said, “I mean Ellias.”
Ellias said, ‘Yeah, that is better.”
The air hostess then replied, “So, if that is better, then what can be the best, Ellias?”
Ellias smiled and replied, “Well, best could be that if you tell me your good name and we could have a little chit chat with you.”
The air hostess then smiled and said her name to Ellias and shook hands with him. Ellias was continuously flirting with that air hostess and Barsha was just amused by Ellias’s action. After a little chit chat, another passenger called her and finally she moved out. After the air hostess had gone, Ellias turned towards Barsha and said, “Remember challenge?”
Barsha did not say a word but turned her face towards Nakul who was busy watching the beautiful scenery. Finally the flight landed in the Delhi airport and all the passengers board off the plane. Finally, when Ellias was boarding off, the air hostess came and said, ‘Bye, Ellias. Hope we will meet again.”
Ellias also looked towards her and smiled nodding his head in a positive manner. Barsha’s eyes caught it but she did not pay any attention to that. Finally they reached Delhi and now they need to go to Indrajit and Nabin Malpani’s parents’ house where from they can begin their investigation.
