It was a busy evening at a well-known restaurant in the heart of the city. People were enjoying their meals when suddenly, a sharp scream echoed through the air. All eyes turned toward a table where a man had collapsed on the floor. Within moments, it became clear that he was no longer alive.The police were immediately informed, and within minutes, an investigation team arrived at the scene. The deceased was identified as Aditya Verma, a senior executive at a reputed company. Initial inquiries revealed that he had been dining with his friend Amit just moments before his death. The police questioned Amit first. He stated that they were regular visitors to the restaurant and had no conflicts or disagreements.Aditya’s leftover food was sent for forensic examination, and the restaurant staff was interrogated. The waiter confirmed that Aditya had ordered his usual meal, and there was nothing unusual about it.The restaurant's security footage was reviewed, but nothing suspicious was found. No unidentified person had entered the premises, nor was there any sign of a physical altercation.The investigation then shifted to Aditya’s personal life. His wife revealed that he had been stressed for the past few days but never shared the reason. His colleagues at work also mentioned that he had been acting tense lately.Digging deeper, the police examined Aditya’s phone records and discovered that his last conversation was with an old friend, Karan, whom he hadn’t seen in years. When questioned, Karan revealed that Aditya had contacted him from an unknown number, saying that he was in some kind of trouble.Soon, the forensic report arrived, revealing that Aditya’s food contained traces of poison. However, it wasn’t an ordinary poison—it was a slow-acting chemical that had likely entered his body earlier and had taken time to show its effects.The case became even more complicated. The police searched Aditya’s house and office, where they found a water bottle on his desk. Upon testing, it was confirmed that the same poison was present in the bottle.The key question now was—who had poisoned his water?Security footage from his office was reviewed, and it showed that his secretary, Reema, frequently approached his desk. When questioned, she initially denied any involvement. However, upon checking her bank records, it was discovered that a large sum of money had recently been deposited into her account.Further investigation revealed that the money had been transferred by Sumit, a colleague from Aditya’s company. When Sumit was confronted, he confessed everything.Sumit revealed that Aditya was about to expose a major fraud taking place within the company, involving several high-ranking employees. The fraud was worth millions, and if Aditya went public with the information, many people would lose their jobs and face legal action. Fearing the consequences, Sumit had bribed Reema to mix the slow-acting poison into Aditya’s water bottle so that his death would appear natural.On the evening of the incident, when Aditya drank water during his meal, the poison took effect, leading to his sudden collapse and death.With strong evidence and a clear confession, both Sumit and Reema were arrested and presented in court. They were found guilty of conspiracy and murder and were sentenced to life imprisonment.This case proved that no matter how cleverly a crime is planned, the truth always comes to light, and justice prevails.
