While I was researching today's story, a question came to my mind: what would happen if experts in every field, masters of every skill, contemplated committing the perfect crime? For example, a police officer whose job is to solve crimes and catch the murderer, if one day the same police officer were to have the idea that he wanted to commit the perfect murder, what would he plan? He sniffs out the crime scene, observes it, picks up every little clue and evidence to reach the murderer. But if he were to disguise himself as the murderer, what all would he do to avoid being caught? A forensic expert, for whom the crime scene is of paramount importance, helps the police with everything from fingerprints to DNA sampling and other small details. But if that same forensic expert decides on his own that he wants to commit murder, imagine what he could accomplish. Why are you even going so far? A crime journalist who spends his entire life reporting on crime thinks, "Here's the evidence. Here's the reason the murderer was caught. There's this loophole. He left this evidence." What would he do if it even occurred to him? What would a professor do if it occurred to him to commit the perfect murder? So, what would an expert in any profession do if it ever occurred to him, though God forbid,? I've given all these examples because today's story is rooted in a forensic student currently studying forensics. Perhaps she would later become a forensic expert and help the police solve many cases. The gas cylinder in the kitchen had blown up in the blast. Everything was scattered. Nothing was visible that would raise any suspicion in the police. Everyone who saw the crime scene believed it was an accident. The cylinder had exploded. Initially, it was thought that the AC had exploded. But the cylinder blast had also damaged the AC. But it was an accident, and a cylinder blast at that. The body was sent for a post-mortem. The police began their investigation. There wasn't much else to investigate. The easiest method nowadays was to first check the nearby CCTV cameras to see if anything unusual or unusual had occurred that night. When the police scanned all the CCTV footage from the nights of October 4th and 5th—the night before the accident—and the night of the accident, which occurred after 2:00 a.m., it was already October 5th and 6th. So, the police scanned all the CCTV footage from the nights of October 5th and 4th. While scanning the CCTV footage, they suddenly came across a picture of two people, their faces covered with masks. It's clear from the image that they are a boy and a girl, who are seen entering the house. However, both had their faces covered. Now, there's no need for COVID-19 or masks. The police found it strange that Delhi isn't so cold, or even that, that two people are entering a house late at night, both with their faces covered. This CCTV image made the police suspect this might be a conspiracy rather than an accident. They were then puzzled. But the problem was who the two men were? Their faces were covered. How could they identify them? Anyway, the police began their investigation. The police's angle now is that it's a conspiracy, because the image they're showing shows that these two men entered the house about 40 minutes before the fire broke out. Just minutes after they exit, the fire intensifies and an explosion occurs. So, were these two men in the house when the accident occurred? Did they intentionally set the fire? The question now facing the police is whether this is a case of conspiracy, not an accident. But then a team of forensic experts arrives, and the police examine the crime scene. Suddenly, all the speculation from this single CCTV footage about a conspiracy vanishes. The forensic experts noticed that the house had only one entry door. The latch on that door was locked from the inside. If it was locked from the inside, it meant someone inside the house had locked it. Or, no one could have entered from the outside, and only Ramkesh was inside. So, two CCTV images, but the fact that the latch was locked from the inside, made the police suspect it was unnecessarily suspicious. It was a simple accident. A cylinder blast caused the fire and resulted in the deaths. The fact that the latch was locked from the inside also sent a message to the police. But then there was the question of what these two people were doing at such a late hour at the time of the crime. The police then began investigating the matter through the CCTV footage. Finally, their hard work paid off. After some effort, the police learned from the vehicle numbers, from CCTV cameras, and from the registration number of a vehicle that had been stolen nearby. The girl's name was Ankita Chauhan and the boy's name was Sumit Kashyap. Both were residents of Moradabad. Police arrived in Moradabad, but neither was home. Both their mobile phones were switched off.
