Saturday subah 7:00 baje ka time tha. Instagram pe @LifeWithShivi ka ‘Sunrise with Shivi’ yoga livestream har hafte viral jata tha. Mumbai ke high-rise Sea View Heights ke 20th floor pe, Shivi Mishra ne apna yoga mat window ke saamne bichhaya, backdrop mein samundar ki lehron ka natural ASMR chal raha tha.
5000+ log live dekh rahe the jab Shivi ne ek detox drink sip kiya aur vrikshaasan start kiya. Chat window mein praise bhar gaya: “Shivi, you’re glowing!”, “That green drink looks yum!” Par sirf 6 minutes baad, stream mein kuch ajeeb hua. Shivi thoda ladkhadayi, aur phir bina kuch bole neeche gir gayi — screen dark ho gayi, livestream band.
Pehle log soch rahe the prank hai. Par jab 2 ghante baad koi update nahi aaya, toh ek die-hard fan — cybersecurity student Aditya, ne Shivi ki building ke watchman ko alert kiya. Flat ka darwaza andar se locked tha. Jab lock tod ke police/neighbours ander gaye, Shivi ka body yoga mat ke paas hi pada tha — aankhen khuli, lips pe halka greenish stain.
Autopsy ne clear kiya ki poisoning se death hui thi — par kisi ne force ya injection ka intezaam nahi kiya tha. Murder weapon? Wahi detox drink. Question tha — livestream se kuch dikhna chahiye tha na?
Usi stream ko forensic techs ne baar-baar loop mein dekha. Aur tab ek moment dikha — jab camera slightly blur hua tha 2nd minute mein.
Shivi ke close circle mein 4 suspects the:
1. Ananya — college friend turned bitter ex-roommate. Unka ek beauty brand tha jise Shivi ne public mein negativeness se bash kiya tha.
2. Viraj — boyfriend and fellow influencer. Dono ka joint podcast tha, lekin pichhle hafte Shivi ne bina bataaye solo deal sign kar liya tha.
3. Auntie Lata — neighbour jo hamesha Shivi ke flashy clothes aur loud music se irritate rehti thi.
4. Kabir — herbal supplements startup wala, jiska detox drink Shivi promote kar rahi thi.
Detective appoint nahi hua. Par Aditya, the fanboy hacker, apni taraf se kaam mein lag gaya. Usne stream ke metadata se patch identify kiya — kuch seconds ke liye camera-auto focus disable hua, aur network latency spike aaya tha.
Usi waqt hua tha — jab camera blurry tha, Shivi ke detox bottle short frame mein thi. Zoom enhance mein ek moment nikal aaya — ek dusra haath bottle adjust kar raha tha. Par Shivi toh akeli thi flat mein!
Tab puzzle clear hua.
Building ke janitor Ramdass ne confession diya jab Aditya ne CCTV footage reveal ki ki pichli night ek toolkit aur duplicate apartment key le jaayi gayi thi.
Actually, Ramdass ko Ananya ne paise dekar bribed kiya tha — unka plan simple tha. Pichli raat ko Ananya ne duplicate key se Shivi ke flat mein entry li — Shivi tab spa pe gayi thi — aur detox drink ka powder badal diya slow-acting skin-friendly toxin se, jo 5-7 minutes mein affect karta hai jab woh lime juice ke saath react karta hai.
Livestream ke pehle, toxin already drink mein dissolve tha.
Blurry moment? Toh woh tha jab Shivi ne camera angle set karte waqt bottle ko move kiya — usi mein hand visible tha, par uske baal us waqt open thhe, isliye confuse hua ki woh kisi aur ka haath hai.
Motive? Ananya ne confession mein kaha: “Woh fake thi. Sab kuch portray karti thi, real Shivi insecure aur manipulative thi. Aur mere skincare samples ko publicly defame kar ke meri company bandh karwa di. Agar influencer hi poisonous keh de — toh kaun kharidega? Toh maine bhi poison se jawab diya.”
Stream 5000 logon ne dekha thha, par koi kuch suspect nahi kar saka. Sirf ek blurred second aur detox bottle ki tilt ne pura truth expose kar diya.
Ananya arrest ho gayi, aur Kabir ke startup pe bhi investigation chalu hua misleading labeling ke liye. Aditya — jise log bas ek fan samajhte the — silently cybertech scholarship jeet gaya, sab evidence cyber sleuthing se collect karke.
Aur Influencer culture ne ek dark turn le liya…
Next week, @LifeWithShivi ke profile pe ek reel post hui — “Outside perfect dikhta hai, par perfect poison bhi ho sakta hai.”
