At 1:05 a.m., Meghana returns to her Bangalore women's PG carrying a packet of food. Ten minutes later, the corridor camera shows her entering her fourth-floor room alone.
By morning, she is dead on the floor.
The door is locked from the inside. The food she bought is still untouched. The camera shows no visitor, no struggle, and no one leaving her room.
For Sub-Inspector Praveen, it should be a routine suspicious-death case. But Meghana's life refuses to stay simple. She was a call center employee living far beyond her salary, with designer clothes, an expensive room, and money no one can explain.
Her friends say she was private. Her colleagues say she was careful. Her family says she was happy. But every answer opens another gap, and Praveen begins to see that Meghana had built a life no one around her truly understood.
Then the autopsy changes everything.
The food in her stomach was not the food beside her bed.
To solve Meghana's murder, Praveen must uncover not just how she died, but who she had become before the door was locked for the last time.
A locked-room Indian crime thriller set in Bangalore, about hidden lives, quiet compromises, and the personal cost of seeking justice.
