Dev
darshan was on his way back home when he overheard a group of, gossiping labours.all he could hear in a two second time period, while walking past them was - " the kid smashed the man's head until it started dripping blood and then broke his arms and legs...the man died gradually.
darshan curiously thought, who was this kid, these guys were talking about, can someone actually be that cruel - that too a kid? this kind of torture seemed to him as some Bollywood crap. but all of that could be just, the narrator's mindless bullshit.
He entered his house almost breathless, his mother tenderly walked upto him, and broke into tears before she could reach him. she tightly hugged him and said while sobbing hardly
" shivu...sh...sh..shivu, th...they found him ..the cop..the cop...said he's Dead"
darshan stood cold and pale.
"what? what happened ,...mom...who killed him..mother?
she sat down with both her hands on her forehead, could barely speak.
"I..iiii..I don't know..a cop came an hour ago and said they found him on the street"
darshan didn't wait a second longer. he ran Wildly towards the local police station right next to the bazaar. he entered the station sobbing.
The cop, who broke the news to his mother, identified darshan, he saw their family picture in their house. he guided him to his chamber.
"look darshan i know it's as hard for you as it can be, but you need to calm down, stay calm, I know it's not easy, but you have to"
darshan didn't pay much attention to the formalities.
"what happened to him sir",
"we're inquiring that as we speak, all I can tell you now is, he was found by some labours near a construction site,..his head was squashed, and his limbs we're broken and...
darshan said outrageously
"who did this him. who would do such a thing to my brother"
"I don't know yet but we're soon going to find that out, I assure you"
"he needs to be punished sir, please I beg of you, he needs to be punished."
" the Labours told us that it was a kid about 15-17 years of age, who killed him, they saw him kill your brother, but before they could do anything....
do you know anything that might be helpful for us in this investigation",
darshan sat cold on the chair
"no sir"
" I can't believe a kid that young could do such a thing"
" it's unbelievable sir, but if it's true, all I can tell is that, he's a mad dog and he needs to be stopped and punished"
