Call Mini aunty

What happened to you?

Inspector wants to speak to you

I can understand your

feeling for your dead friend

But this is a murder case

It's better how quickly we

get the information in this case

Was there any enemy

for her in the college?

Was she involved in

any fight with somebody?

You don't need to be

scared if it was personal

It would remain confidential

You might know it

how she died

Her neck was twisted and broken

I haven't seen such a

barbaric murder in my service

A common man can't do this murder

He should be arrested quickly

What happened?

She has gone suddenly when I

was asking about Lakshmi..

She is very upset after Lakshmis death

I think it's better you meet her later

What is this?

These things are happening

after we came to this house

First Lakshmi died....

then the Inspector

Narayan says...

Death of cat in the

house is not good!

Why haven't you put the light on?

Look Daughter...

I know how Lakshmi's death affected you

But if you stay alone

the memory would keep coming

That would annoy you more

Listen to me, go to college

It will be a relief for you

Go and....

...sleep now...

Do you have class?

Ok, let's meet after the college time

I can't believe this

would happen to Lakshmi

Why should anyone kill her?

Leave that matter, speak something else

I forgot to tell you

I am going to my

place this vacation,

I will meet you after that

I want to do post-graduation

but dad wants to do business

College is over

What are you doing here? Go away

Nothing. We are just

talking. We will go

Come on

You should have told in the morning

Narayan is also not here

Mr. Reddy has invited

We must attend else it would be bad
