"Sometimes the past doesn't stay buried… it comes back, stitched with blood and vengeance."
"Her eyes were wide open, but no life in them. And next to her—something even stranger: a handmade doll... its eyes dripping red."
Tivim Road, 30 May 2025 – 7:00 AM
On 30 May 2025...7:00 am...on tivim road a young woman in her early 20s was found dead.. And the couple who was passing through that road contacted the local branch about this.
The officers arrived quickly. Photos were taken, her bag was searched, and her identity confirmed: Sana Malli, 27 years old, from Parra.
There were three dots on her neck—needle marks, as if she'd been injected with something. Her bruised hands and legs suggested a struggle. But it was what lay next to her that sent chills down everyone's spine:
A small crochet doll…
Its eyes soaked in blood.

Police Station – Later that Day
CID Officer Arjun Prasad casually visited his friend Aryan at the local police branch. Officers were busy with Sana's murder investigation.
"So busy today?" Arjun asked.
"A murder case," Aryan replied. "But what's strange is… we found a crochet doll with blood on its eyes near the body."
Arjun" Did you get any lead or something? "
Aryan " No, will have to look files if there's anything similar... By the way...this case is ours..... Don't steal it "
Arjun " Hahha...dont worry...you work on your case.....If you need help you can ask me"
And left

Local Restaurant – 8:30 PM
Arjun stopped at a crowded local restaurant. He ordered paratha and chole,
Meanwhile waiting he went to the washroom.
When he returned, he found an envelope on his table. Written on it:
To CID Officer Arjun Prasad
He looked around... And
Arjun in soft voice " What's this and who left it here? "
He opened it. Inside were four disturbing photographs:
1. A crochet doll with its right hand missing, blood on the floor.
2. A doll with a cut-open stomach, blood spilling out.
3. A doll with a red ribbon around its neck. No blood.
4. A burnt crochet doll, almost completely destroyed.
Arjun looking at this pictures of the doll was confused and shocked ... And questions that came to his mind " What are these pictures? Are this real? And why was this sent to me?
Are they symbolic to the victims? How are they related?"
He asked the restaurant staff for CCTV footage. It was chaotic, but one frame showed a figure in black leaving the envelope. Arjun copied the footage and rushed to the office.
In the office there was colleague sleeping... And Arjun walked in... He didn't know there was someone....
The colleague put the mobile flash on and Arjun got scared and said.... "Oh my god, what are you doing so late... It's 11:30pm..go home"
Colleague name is aarav, he said " You think I wanted to wait, I was given work and I finished and I'm so tired I don't want to go home.. So I'll spend the night here, btw what are you doing here? "
Arjun " Well nothing... I just had some work so I came to do...So even I'll be waiting late"
Aarav " Man.. Even you don't have work you'll search some work to do... Wanna impress the sir so much for promotion? "
Arjun smiled and went towards his desk..
In the office he checked the footage frame by frame and saw a person in black putting on the table.
He zoomed the picture to see the person.... But not much could be found on the footage....
He started thinking a lot... And suddenly remembered the latest case of the crochet doll..
So he asked aarav
"Aarav, you know the recent case.. Murder of girl on tivim road? "
Aarav" Yes, I heard of it.. Poor girl.. God knows when people will come to their right mind... Btw why are you asking about this.. This isn't even in our jurisdiction or our case... Don't tell me you want that case? "
Arjun " No reh... Just asking..What if this isn't the first ...might be serial killing..."
Aarav " Seriel killing.. How come? "
Arjun " You know there was a crochet doll found near the body with its eyes bloody.."
Aarav " Yeah.... But how's that serial killing?
And the girls eyes was nothing like the doll... Come one don't think much about it "
Arjun " Hmm... But still my doubt isn't getting clear.... There's should be some old records.. Let's check "
Aarav " Omg... You won't have peace unless you find something.. Huhh.. "
He searched the crime database. There were four unsolved murder cases from three years ago—all with a crochet doll left behind.
And shows to Aarav
Arjun" See this, I told you... There must be link to old cases "
Aarva " Your right yaar.... But it says that the murderer was jailed and eventually died due to health issues.
And the reason behind this killing he said "just for fun"
... And most important...this happened 3 years ago... So now whose doing the crime? "
Arjun " Well, that's what we need to find out.. Cause if the original killer has already died then whose this killer mimicking the old one and what's with this crochet doll.. "
Aarav " Yes, I understand...and wait... You said we.... Are you serious.. This isn't even our case and not even handed to us.... And why are you so interested.... The cops there are doing thier work.. Have faith bruh.. "
Arjun "huhh.. Your not understanding aarav.. Just think... After 3 years a person decides to kill someone.. Mimicking someone else... And there's no guarantee he won't do it again... Our job is to stop this.. That's why we work for justice .. Isn't it? "
Aarav " Yeah fine... Do what's best... So now?
How you'll start the investigation? "
Arjun " First let's talk to the person in charge of this case..."
Aarav " Hmmm.. It says the person in charge was Mr. Suraj desai..... Wait what.. Him... He was handling this case....!!
Arjun " Why? What happened? "
Aarav " You don't know?.Aiii.. Your never aware of anything... Suraj sir is involved in dirty politics..... Many of us know about him.....but this case...I wonder what untold story is there. "
Arjun " And that's what we need to uncover... First let's dig some information on him, he's past cases and all"
Aarav " What we? Bruhh... Your on your own okay... If our chief comes to know of this... Well get scolding or even suspended and I recommend you also to stay away from it.
Arjun" No no... I'm not backing out.... I'll uncover the truth....aarav please don't tell anyone about this "
Aarav " Hmmm.. Okay"
Arjun goes home and starts thinking about the photos he got... As to why he got those pictures when he isn't related to this...
Thinking so hard he feel asleep on the couch.

Arjun's Apartment – Midnight Dream
He got a dream in his dream....
He found himself around the first case where theres a crochet doll near which there's blood on floor and the dolls right hand is missing.
He found himself in an old burnt house in village area he searches the house and goes in living room there he finds red ribbon on the table...
On the floor there were scissors and knife with blood on it.
He's at the crime scene And there's this abnormal feeling he gets that there's someone with him on crime scene. When he turns back he finds shoe print blood in floor...
Arjun is scared.. He's sweating and still.. Whether he should run or stay near the body.
He follows the shoe print and sees a young boy whose body is half buried but everything looked fine with the body ...But when he looked around under the fallen roof there was a crochet doll whose right hand is missing..... Looking at this he was shocked and frightened.
And he turned to look at the dead body... Looking at it the body's hand was intact....
And when he picks the doll and looks closely he hears soft giggle and when he turns back quickly.. No ones there .
Then he hears a whisper " You see what they did to me? "
He felt as if the dead body whispered.
And he woke up drenched in sweat.
He checked the time....It was 8:45am.

CID Office – Next Morning
After waking he felt tired and he got little headache... He went in washroom, brushed his teeth, took bath.... And when he was taking bath he was thinking about what to do... .... He said to himself "I need to solve this case"
He's phone was on silent.. He's boss (whose name is vikram singh and his post is Superintendent of police)
and colleagues called him and texted his lot...
Finally Arjun saw and sighed
He got call again from vikram...
vikram " You rascal!!!

Arjun " Sorry sir, I slept late.. I'll come now sir"
vikram " Haa? Slept late?? What... Were you burying gold late night.. I sent you'll early yesterday.... "
Arjun " Sorry sir, it was personal work"
vikram " Alright whatever.. Come quick.. We got a case"
Phone call ends

Arjun doesn't answer him and ask his teammates.. What's the new case..
Inspector Purvi (newly joined) Arjun doesn't know her...
Purvi " Good morning sir, my name is Purvi sai, I'm newly joined, it's an honor to work with you.. All of you" ( Smiles)

Aarva "Arjun.. That's why we were calling you... You weren't picking up the call only... rajat wanted to go together"
Arjun " Okay.... "
Arjun gets call from rajat
Arjun to aarav " 100 years he will leave "
Purvi, aarav Arjun, karan, laughs
Arjun picks the call.
Arjun " Yaar, how are you? Haaa.. You came without telling... Areh.. I could pick you up at least... You don't think of me as your friend.. Oh what? "
Rajat " Areh Yaar... Nothing like that... I thought

Rajat " Over here.. Girls body is found her name is sasha and age is 33 and looking at her clothes looks like she was working for good company and what's more is that she was brutally tortured"
Arjun" Oh my god....what will happen of this country.... Every now and then murders... "
Meanwhile Rajat finds a torn crochet doll...a little ahead from the dead body..... It seemed like somebody tried to destroy it
Arjun "Areh.. Are you listening at least..... "
Rajat " A little ahead from the body there's something strange"
Arjun " What? "
Rajat " It's a doll and it's ruined.. Looks like the murderer wanted to destroy it but couldn't"
Arjun" What.. Doll? Near the body? "
Rajat " Yeah.. Why your so shocked.. You know this? "
Arjun hurriedly tells his team member he's going to crime scene and tells purvi to come along..and walks out
Arjun " Little bit.. I'll come there... Send me location "
Rajat "okay.. Come safely"

Crime Scene – Porvorim Lane
The house is run-down, quiet. Outside, a small group of curious neighbors stand behind the yellow tape.
Arjun arrives at crime scene and goes to Rajat
Arjun " Where's the doll? "
Rajat " Here.. It was over there lying.. It's the second time we're finding this.... Kunal told me"
Arjun " Looking around.. Seeing if he can get more clues/evidence "
Arjun examining ..mumbling to himself.. "This is the fifth one.. "
Rajat notices this comes to Arjun...
Rajat " What happened.. You look tensed "
Arjun" Are yaar... This is the fifth... if you count the unsolved cases from three years ago."
Rajat " What? Fifth? This is a serial killing then"
Arjun "what's more confusing is that original killer is dead"
Rajat shocked " Dead?? Then whose doing this after 3 years "
Arjun "questions are more answers are less.. We need to find the culprit otherwise more innocent lives will go"
Suddenly, a thought clicks.
Arjun (to himself)
"What if... every doll is mimicking not just violence, but telling a story? A pattern…"
Arjun to purvi " collect detailed photos of the doll, the room, any unusual items, and the victim's last activities"
Purvi " Yes sir "
Arjun (holding the doll): "This isn't just a message… it's a countdown."
"This is the fifth doll… and the killer isn't done yet."
But what if the next doll doesn't come after the murder… but before?
Can Arjun stop it in time?"
