      Murder Mysteries - Hiranya Borah

      Preface

      It is a compilation of few detective stories involving at least one murder. All the murder mysteries have been solved by a young lady police officer. Like Sherlock Holmes, the lady officer, Anwesha is also helped by her studious doctor husband, Anurag in solving murder cases.

      Hope my readers will like to read these stories and in the process they will encourage me to write few more stories on crimes.

      Thanks to my readers and friends and above all my family members for their constant support to write something usual and unusual. I love them all.

      Thanks to Smashwords for publishing this e- book along with my other books.

      Author

      Introduction

      Anwesha is an IPS officer of UT cadre. She was born and brought up in New Delhi. She is the only daughter of a senior officer of Government of India. After passing out from the University as a post graduate in Economics, she appeared for the UPSC and in her very first attempt she was selected for the prestigious Indian Police Service, popularly known as IPS. Though her father told her to sit for a second time to become an IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer, she refused to appear as she likes the job of a police officer who will always have direct connection with the aggrieved people of the society. Further, she is a fan of the legendary character Sherlock Holmes.

      Anwesha is an easy going pampered girl who had never faced any real problem in her life. But accidentally she met Anurag, a serious young man with a rural and modest economic background who had to face several hurdles in his life to achieve the present position. They are also from different cultural background. Anwesha is from an Assamese Non-vegetarian Royal family and Anurag is from a poor Vegetarian Brahmin family of UP. How they accidentally met, that will be described in the next chapter.

      Anurag has a habit from his early school days to study as meticulously as possible and therefore he could see and understand as a student what most of the ordinary classmates could not see and could not understand. However, sometimes this good habit is counterproductive for Indian examination system and a result of that, he could not do extremely good result in his XII final examination. On the other hand, he could very easily crack the medical entrance examination and became a very good doctor in the Department of Medicine of AIIMS of New Delhi.

      Now he is an Assistant Professor at AIIMS and earned a name for himself. Most of the patients visiting AIIMS want to consult this young doctor only as most of the patients who visit this young doctor once, they became fan of this young doctor for his in-depth knowledge in any disease and his prescription for proper medicines. Best part of him is that, if he is unaware of any particular medicine or has no sufficient knowledge on a particular disease properly, he tells his patient, ‘You better consult some other good doctor, your dumb, Dr. Anurag cannot help you to cure yourself from the disease.’

      According to him, patient cures himself/ herself, doctor only facilitates the process of recovery for a patient. His confession of inability to help a patient sometimes makes some patients closer to him instead of running away from him. Another, quality of this young doctor is, he can hear to a patient very passionately, which is missing for most of the doctors today. He seldom refers for medical tests and he wants to diagnose a disease of a patient through consultations only. He always distributes the sample medicines he receives from the medical representatives to the poor patients freely. Of course in the process, he also made many enemies in his own fraternity.

      1. Murder Mystery of a Lady

      Chapter I: Shocking News

      Dr. Pranab Saikia was attending a meeting when his phone started vibrating as the phone was on silent mode. He saw the number, it was an unknown number. He disconnected the phone. The phone again vibrated. This time he picked up the phone and before other party could say ‘hello’, he said with a very low voice, ‘Please call me later, the Minister is taking a meeting.’

      ‘Inspector, Rajesh is speaking from this side sir. Sorry sir, there is a very bad news for you. Your wife has been murdered.’

      ‘What?’’ Dr. Saikia screamed.

      The Minister looked at him with a question mark on his face. Everyone in the meeting turned their eyes on Dr. Saikia. Dr. Saikia putting his hands on his head started looking to the wall vaguely.

      Everyone in the room realized, there was something horribly wrong with Dr. Saikia. The Minister hurriedly said, ‘We shall discuss the topic later on. What is the news, Dr. Saikia?’

      But Dr. Saikia was yet to recover from his shock to answer to question posed by the Minister. Someone took his mobile and rang back to the caller. From the other side the police officer repeated the same sentence, ‘Your wife has been murdered.’

      Dr. Saikia murmured, ‘My wife has been murdered.’

      The Minister patted his back but did not find any word to console Dr. Saikia.

      Chapter II: Shocking Scene

      It was indeed a horrible sight. The wife of the top-level bureaucrat was killed with a vengeance. The body was lying in a pool of blood. The murderer stabbed the victim several times. It appeared the culprit stabbed the victim even after knowing that she was already dead. It appeared the murderer killed the victim out of immense anger and hatred.

      The body was first seen by the maid who used to live in Dr. Saikia’s servant quarter with her family for the last five years. The moment she saw the dead body of her Memsaab, she fainted. Her scream before fainting attracted the attention of Mrs. Gulati, wife of Dr. Saikia’s next door neighbour. On seeing the ghastly scene, she also screamed. But within a minute or two, she composed herself and dialled no.100 to inform the police. Then she called her husband and urged him to come quickly home.

      Within five minutes, police party led by an Inspector reached the place. Then the inspector informed Dr. Saikia about the murder taking the mobile number from Mrs. Gulati.

      Chapter III: Suspects

      All over the world, whenever a wife is murdered, the first suspect is her husband. The next suspects are servants, robbers, other relatives and finally other acquaintances.

      Since the murder was committed in a high security zone of New Delhi, the Assistant Commissioner of police, Ms. Anwesha herself visited the crime scene after half an hour.

      The lady was brutally murdered with some sharp weapon. The house was not ransacked and entry of the murderer was friendly one which suggested that the murderer was known to the victim. So, suspicion of the police went to her husband first.

      Ms. Anwesha asked the Inspector Dutta, ‘What are your preliminary findings?’

      ‘The murderer and victim are known to each other. Multiple stabs on the body of the victim suggest that the killer was not a professional one and the killer hates the victim very much.’

      ‘Where is her husband? Have you interrogated him?’

      ‘No madam. He has been informed at his office. He is arriving at any moment.’ As the Inspector finished his words, Dr. Saikia appeared at
