No Kruthi, Abhi was back when Kakisa was distributing the blanket and things to the people present there... He was very much there standing at the left hand side..
Yes, but that was after the rape. When Kakisa went into the jungle, first she heard a sound and asked 'Kaun hai?'. That time they showed us the rapist washing his face, and came face to face with Kakisa, but Kakisa being blind walked away and happened to touch Pia. So when masked man saw Kakisa, he has enough time to escape back. And it was much later that Kakisa distrubuted blankets. I was saying that Abhi was not there at the pooja during the time Pia was being raped.
But still, inspite of saying all this, I still think its not logical for Abhi to be the rapist. How could he be able to be all clean and dry so fast? There are many loose ends that say that Abhi might not be the rapist. But typically, its always shown that the people we least suspect turn out to be the culprits. And Ranjit wud be the #1 suspect, and I don't think the directors wud give away the masked man so easily. If I was in place of Nahar or Brijesh, I would first point fingers at Ranjit, because he had the motive to do it.
