Delhi ke paas ek mehenga farmhouse. Drone shots, mirrorless DSLRs aur 4K livestream. Aryan Mehta, ek tech entrepreneur, aur fashion influencer Ria Kapoor ki lavish shaadi ho rahi thi. Jitne log haazir the, utne hi YouTube stream pe views aa rahe the. Teen din ke celebration ke baad finally shaadi ka din aaya.
Shaam ke chaar baje, saat phere start hue. Mandap ke ek kone mein mounted camera angle 3 par focus tha — jo dulha-dulhan ke closeups le raha tha. Phere ke baad pandit ne vivah sampann hone ki ghoshna ki, aur sab log fireworks aur live dhol beats mein kho gaye.
Lekin agle din subah ek breaking news ne shaadi ki kahani viral kar di: “Influencer Ria Kapoor Dead Hours After Wedding.”
Police ne kaha: heart attack. Family ne kaha: stress and weak heart. Lekin ek anonymous Instagram handle @MandapMeSaaya ne ek clip dalli — shaadi ke waqt dulhan ki aankhon mein ek expression tha, jo darr se bhara tha, aur ek chhota shadow uske peeche se nikalta dikh raha tha. Clip mein likha tha: “Kya aapne kuch dekha jo camera ne nahi dikhaya?”
Live stream content ka analysis shuru hua. Aryan ne kaha, “She was healthy, but anxious. Night mein bathroom gayi thi, aur vahan collapse ho gayi.” Servant ne kaha, “Bathroom lock andar se tha. Door todna pada.”
Footage mein dikha ki wedding ke baad Ria seedha apne room gayi. Ek aur angle mein, Aryan ko apne tech team ke head Dev Sen se baat karte dekha gaya tha shaadi ke turant baad.
Dev, jo purane surveillance software ka expert tha, ne camera-log timestamps examine kiye. Kuch files corrupted mile. Jab repair kiya gaya, ek astonishing detail samne aayi: dulhan ke suite mein bathroom ke andar ek chhota mounted button-camera tha, jiska signal ek watch-app ke through remote access hota tha. Signal last baar Aryan ke smartwatch se ping hua tha, raat ke 1:43 par.
Dev ne chupke se Aryan ka smart wearable access kiya. Dhamaka yeh tha: wearable ne dulhan ke heart-rate monitor ko override kiya tha, aur ek software inject kiya gaya tha jisse uski body ke pacemaker ko confuse kar diya gaya — digitally induced arrhythmia. Ria ka pacemaker clinically fail hua, lekin trace back nahi hua… jab tak Dev ne source code nahi nikala.
Shaq Aryan par gaya. But twist? Dev khud is saazish ka mastermind tha.
Ria once dated Dev, but ended things brutally during an influencer roast session. Aryan aur Ria ke wedding footage ke ek unseen draft mein Dev ne ek AR filter integrate kiya tha — jis mein virtual saaya jaisa shadow artificially inject kiya gaya. Wo “Mandap Mein Saaya” reel sirf ek trap thi — jisse Aryan guilty lage.
But Aryan ne shayad Dev se zyada smart kaam kiya tha. Wo stream recordings Dev ke server par nahi, ek decentralized node pe save kar raha tha. Ek clip mein dikh raha tha: Dev dulhan ke suite ke baahar kuch wire adjust kar raha hai jab sab fireworks dekh rahe the.
Final confrontation ek virtual office call mein hota hai, jahaan Aryan ne sab logon ke saamne Dev ka plan expose kiya — software code, timestamps, aur motive sab ke saath. Ria ki death ek murder thi, digitally executed via remote signal jisme Dev ne Aryan ko phasane ki koshish ki thi.
Dev ko arrest kiya gaya, aur doston ke beech ek silent moment mein Aryan sirf ek line bolta hai: “Jo dikhe wo sach nahi hota, par jo chip jaye uska bhi pata chal jaata hai.”
