Interrogation

As the sun rose the chatter among the surrounding people also rose. Some were discussing the implications of speed driving while some were discussing about youths in todays society.

There was presently a barrier setup around the corpse. Some inspectors were presently examining the corpse and the surrounding area while other inspectors were interrogating the passengers.

"Can you recognize the person?", counting the number of times asking the question , the constable was vexed. Some would answer the question, while some would go in circles and circles before coming to the main point. Some wanted to leave quickly, saying that this investigation was wasting

their time while some had to talk about their generation people, families before coming to the point.

It was truly infuriating .

As he was taking the notes he beckoned the next person to come over. Then seeing that he was seated the constable began to size him up.

In front of him sat a plain faced man with a sleepy expression. He had a long hair which was tied into a ponytail and a small mustache. He looked like a person who had not slept for many days.

"Can you please start away with the interrogation?" asked the person.

"Oh Sorry. Can you tell me your name?"

"Vaidyanatha Shastri."

"Purpose of your Visit?"

"I was going to my hometown."

"Ok. Can you please tell me your position at the time of the accident?"

"I was in the 8th seat near the window. I was unable to sleep due to the noise and the rocking of the bus so I was watching the scenery."

"Ok Shastri. Do you know the anything related about the person who died?"

"No?" pressed the constable.

"Nothing at all."

"Ok. Please provide your mobile number and address details for any further clarifications" the constable concluded.

It was not conclusive, but it was effective.

After the interview, Shastri began to walk faster. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

But then came a surprised voice from behind.

"Garudaaa…..!!!!"

Shastri began to run.
