Mumbai ke Andheri West ke ek co-working studio mein har Friday raat hoti thi ek popular livestream show — “TruthTok Nights.” Host thi Sanya Ahuja, ek sharp, sarcastic content creator jinki fan following main ek nasha tha. Format simple tha — anonymous guests aake apni darkest secrets confess karte, bina naam bataye. Log kahte the ki sab scripted hai, par TRP har week skyrocket hoti thi.
Last Friday ka episode viral gaya. Ek ghungat pehni guest — voice modulated — camera ke saamne aayi aur bola, “Main ne kisi ki zindagi chheen li — woh bhi bina haath uthaye.” Sanya ne casual laugh diya, “Script tight hai! Next, please.” But the woman insisted, “Yeh confession hai. Tumhare paas saboot bhi hai. Dekh lena.” Show ke end par Sanya ne comment kiya, “Kya ASMR-level killing thi — koi background music hota toh aur bhi thrill aata.” Audience ne clip meme bana diya.
Agle din subah, studio ki billing manager Neharika Seth dead mili. Uski death ko initially accidental samjha gaya — electric shock se. Par jab postmortem aaya, toh reveal hua ki shock se pehle uske system mein ek rare paralytic drug tha — imported, tasteless, odorless. Koi usse marne de raha tha, pehle uska control leke, phir shock trick se natak banake.
Police ne studio temporarily seal kiya. No obvious suspects. Sanya ne social media pe dramatic post daala: “Guilt is trending. RIP, Neharika.” Par us raat ke footage ko phir se analyze kiya gaya. The hooded guest ne bola tha, “Tumhare studio mein ek aurat doosron ki zindagi steal karti thi. Ab woh khud vanish ho gayi.”
Studio mein total chaar log the us raat — Sanya (the host), Adil (audio engineer), Kamya (intern), aur mysterious guest, jiska entry ka koi official record nahi mila. Kamya se sawal hua — usne confess kiya ki Neharika often interns ko exploit karti thi — unpaid work, late stays, credit chura lena. Par motive intentional murder tak jaata nahi.
Adil ne kaha ki Sanya aur Neharika ki chhoti jhagda-pe-jhagda hoti thi. “Us din Sanya gussa mein thi — Neharika ne ek brand contract cancel karwaya tha.” Phirr bhi, livestream wali woman to koi aur thi? Ya Sanya ki koi disguise thi?
Sanya se poocha gaya — kya yeh confession staged tha? Sanya ne deny kiya, “Har episode mein kuch na kuch natak hota hai. Sab guest scripted rehte hain.” Par jab tech team ne mic feed ka backchannel dekha, toh ek note mila: “Sequence 3 pre-recorded. From server Z.” Woh segment pehle se record hua tha.
Server Z office ke ek purane system se link hota tha — ek ex-editor ka, Ira Menon. Wo teen mahine pehle fire ki gayi thi plagiarism mein, Neharika ki recommendation pe. Jab Ira ko track kiya gaya, wo Himachal ke ek digital retreat se ghar laayi gayi. Usne confess kiya: “Main ne video create kiya tha. Neharika ne meri career ki watt laga di thi, maine expose karna tha usse. Murder? Nahi. Mujhe laga usse psychological jhatka lage toh better hai.”
Par woh video stream mein kab insert hua?
Kamya ne bataya ki livestream ke time pe ek network lag aaya tha — jis wajah se Adil ne emergency feed switch ki permission Sanya se mangi thi. Sanya ne haan bola, bina poore file check kiye. Bas wahi moment tha jab pre-recorded confession insert hua.
Sanya pe blame gaya ki usne bina verify kiye video chala diya. Par asli twisth tab aaya jab CCTV mein kuch ajib dikha gaya. Death ke ek ghante pehle, Neharika ke coffee cup mein kuch gira — jo dikha ek eyeliner-pen jaisa object. Zoom karne pe dikha — cosmetic syringe disguised as makeup.
Aise pen-syringes illegal cosmetic circles mein chalte hain — bina traceable residue ke drug inject karne ke liye.
Kamya ke paas exact same eyeliner tha, jo usne deny kiya. But cosmetic lab ne bata diya ki usme wahi rare drug ke traces the. Jab uske messages nikaale gaye, toh dikha gaya ki Ira aur Kamya ek secret chat mein contact mein the. Ira ne Neharika ke khilaaf psycho revenge video plan kiya tha; Kamya ne make-up syringe mein drug diya. Aur Sanya? Unknowingly, unka stage ban gaya.
Sanya ne kaha, “Main expose kar rahi thi hypocrisy. Mujhe kya pata tha ki main ek murder ke screenplay ka producer ban jaungi.”
Ira aur Kamya dono arrested hue. Ira for psychological manipulation leading to indirect abetment. Kamya for active poisoning. Sanya? Viral ho gayi… with the next episode tagline: “Death goes live — TruthTok’s Black Friday Special.”
