Khushi Kumari Guptha:

Investigation using her identification details fetched from Mumbai database, reveal that she had been working in Amazing Ad-Agency' as an assistant graphical analyst. Her term of employment was from March 2011 to October 2012. Further questionnaire session with co-employs in the office disclosed her nature as a person in the workplace---Apparently she was all the time aloof, distant and was only concerned with the work allocated; never friendly and stayed alone; genuinely helpful and always overdone at her work. One of her colleagues voiced her nature of behavior as a result to the loss of both of her parents in an accident two years prior to that. With the help of information about her parents fetched from the Delhi University, and digging the accident records of the intelligence department, it is concluded that Mr.Shashi Guptha and Mrs.Garima Guptha have been subjected to spot death in a brutal car accident in December 2011.

The most crucial aspect of the whole investigation here is the fact that she neither did resign nor was dismissed from her job; she just stopped coming to work on a random day and further investigation about her whereabouts by her employer disclosed her absence from her flat as well from the very same day. Her flat was found disoriented and none of her things were moved. She had just disappeared.

Arnav shut the thick plastic file close with a thud and threw it on his table abruptly. His hands clutched close vigorously crushing his own knuckles as his jaw clenched and un-clenched in random moments, his eyes turning red as his heart was beginning to ache with a vague heaviness. The information was in bits and pieces and there was a lot more missing as well, yet whatever it was dint give him any good feeling.

"Parent's death in an accident? And then finding her in such a state?"

His mind raced with millions of dangerous thoughts and for unknown reasons the mere thought of imagining her in any of such situations raced his heart vigorously and the urge to see her conscious again has just increased by leaps and bounds.
