estled in the heart of Bangalore, Skyline People's Heaven Apartment, known to its inhabitants simply as Flat A 123025, was a place of tranquility and prosperity. The modern high-rise stood tall against the city's skyline, its glass façade reflecting the bustling energy of Bangalore. For Samarth, it was a sanctuary, a place where he grew up with his loving parents. However, that idyllic existence was shattered in an instant, leaving behind a legacy of tragedy and secrets.

As the dawn broke over the city, Samarth awoke to find his world torn apart. The previous night, his parents were brutally murdered in their own apartment. The scene was one of chaos and confusion, with police officers swarming the area, neighbors peering out from their doors, and whispers of shock and disbelief echoing through the corridors.

As Samarth grappled with the enormity of his loss, he was confronted with an even more shocking revelation: his girlfriend, Akanksha, stood accused of the heinous crime. The evidence was damning, the motive unclear. Samarth's emotions were in turmoil, torn between the woman he loved and the suspicions that surrounded her.

Driven by a desperate need for answers, Samarth embarked on a journey to uncover the truth. What he discovered was a world far removed from the comfort and security of his home. The real estate mafia, a powerful and elusive force, was entangled in a web of corruption and deceit that reached into every corner of the city.

n the early hours of a chilly winter morning in Perth, the crisp air gently caresses the surroundings.

The clock strikes 5 in the morning and Samarth slowly awakens to the persistent chiming of his cellphone.

With a groggy voice, he answers the call, softly uttering a simple Hello.

On the other end of the line is his friend Vicky, who sounds hurried and anxious.

Dude, I'm in Chennai, Vicky blurts out, his words rushing out.

I just stumbled upon some shocking news. There has been a double murder in your apartment in Bangalore. Akanksha has been taken into custody, and it seems like your parents are the victims.

Pausing for a moment to catch his breath, Vicky adds, If you have the TV24/7 App, turn on the news.

Samarth's hand trembles as he hastily ends the call and opens the TV news app.

As he watches the news report unfold before his eyes, a wave of devastation crashes over him, leaving him utterly shattered.

The mobile app is currently broadcasting the news, with subtitles flashing the shocking headline, Double Murder in Skyline People's Heaven Apartment Shakes City.

"The victims of this heinous crime were an elderly couple, and the prime suspect is believed to be their daughter-in-law.

The police have taken Akanksha into custody for further investigation. Now, let's hear from our on-site reporter, Chethan," says the news reporter, Smitha.

After a brief pause, Chethan begins to speak, Smitha, it has been reported that the murder took place in the early hours of the morning, around 3:30 am.

He continues report on the air The police are still trying to determine the motive behind this tragic incident. However, what's intriguing is that the accused, Akanksha, was supposed to marry the son of the victims, who is currently abroad. We are unsure if he is aware of his parents' brutal murder. Akanksha and Samarth's wedding was scheduled to take place in just a few months.

As Samarth watches the news, his body trembles uncontrollably. Overwhelmed with pain, he screams and shouts, his tears streaming down his cheeks and falling onto the floor.

As the cellphone chimes in the middle of the room, an unknown number illuminates the screen.

Samrath, with tears streaming down his face, answers the call and timidly says Hello. He quickly wipes away his tears, trying to compose himself.

On the other end of the line, the mysterious caller introduces himself as the circle inspector of the Church Street jurisdiction.

With a heavy heart, he delivers the devastating news, I am sorry to inform you that your parents have been murdered. Based on initial investigations, it seems that your fiancée, Akanksha, is the prime suspect.

There is a brief pause before he continues, If you can make it here as soon as possible, we can proceed with the necessary procedures.

Samarth's breath becomes labored as he struggles to process the shocking revelation. With determination in his voice, he replies, I am coming.

Samarth finds himself at the airport, boarded his flight.
