The Brimming River
Prologue
The calamity had struck again in the village of Hariyalipur. The tide had ebbed again and taken with it the lives of many' the lives that slogged to feed the mouths of India, who worked to prevent India from facing a food crisis' lives of those godsend men whose lives mattered no more -The Farmers. The Farmer living on a square meal per day, with tattered clothes, yet living and providing for the rest of the brotherhood.
In another of a city a calamity had struck. Apparently this had swept that part of the world of its feet. A IT professional was murdered violently. The CID had been called to investigate. He was a millionaire , one of those men who wielded money as a weapon to obtain everything. The man with splendid brains, they said, had stashed away his enormous earnings in multiple investments. But few lamented. There were hungry wolves waiting to get to the top rungs of power'and with it came a conspiracy.
Chapter 1 'The Coverage
Raju, one of the newbie in the Mera News channel was from the village of Hariyalipur. One of his uncles had died in the previous week due to the ebbing tides. One among many victims he thought. He packed his camera and the other equipment as he set out to his village to provide the channel with a cover story for the week.
Raju stared wide- eyed at the remains of the disasters. The barren land was strewn with corpses in all stages of renunciation of their mortal body. The river had caused a very large scale disaster and the people would certainly be happy to get some financial compensation to set their lives going again.He would make sure they got it.
Chapter 2-The Investigation
CID team officers winced visibly at the crudeness of the murder of the IT official.He had been stabbed in the chest by a traditional Indian dagger,khukri.
Daya;Ye kya haalat banaake rakhi hai iska?
Abhijeet: Ye job hi hai bohot hi jaldi mein aur gusse main iska khoon kiya hai.Aur ye chaku ke nishaan dekh rahe ho? Shayad khukri jaise cheez se maari hai kisine.
Sachin: Is ke barah main koi bhi information nahi mil raha hai sir. Inke family ke baare me to kuch bhi pata nahi hai. Ye do maheene ke pehle ise appoint kiya gaya tha , is branch mein.
Abhijeet:Ye kahaan ka hai?
Vivek:Bangalore ka hai sir...ACP sir ne mujhe aur Nikhil ko kaha hai waha jaake investigate karne ke liye.
Daya:Toh der kis baat ki ...abhi jao (winks)
