Part-7
Koki paced up and down the hall. She did that whenever she was in a tricky situation…and today she was confronting a far worse situation… She had thought about the Rashi-Urmi-Kinjal's involvement in smuggling drugs to MM but it seemed improbable. Urmi certainly didn't know what cocaine was..Rashi hadn't gone out and a discreet search through her finances revealed that she hadn't withdrawn any money recently…plus after the kidnapping incident she was mortally scared of hoodlums. Kinjal hadn't visited MM for a long time and since she couldn't possibly have an accomplice inside MM even she could be excluded for the time being….So who is left?...Was Anita a drug addict? She did behave strangely..but could she be an addict?
Koki asked Ahem whether Anita behaved strangely at times. Ahem gave an affirmative reply but attributed her behavior to difficulties in adapting to the new family … Koki had her own doubts about Ahem's explanation.
Meethi was summoned into Koki's darbar. It appeared as if she was quaking with fear..She stammered and told Koki that she did find Anita 'lost in another world' at times….Koki sent her away- she got what she wanted to know…Meethi's constant refrain was "Nani Bhabhi I am innocent"..this got on Koki's nerves but she suppressed her anger and decided to gather more information about Anita's drug habit and cocaine peddlers in town.
She tried telling her theory to the inspector but his lackadaisical approach inflamed her…She remarked "kuch log Khakhi pehanke poore police department ki izzat khaak mein milate hai"…
A private detective agency was hired to gather information from rehabilitation centres…
The next day proved to be luckier for Koki… a small report tucked away among advertisements held a ray of hope…….and the detective agency gave her the news she wanted- Anita was addicted to cocaine – her former roommate could vouch for it….and two years ago she was admitted to a rehab for cocaine addiction.
