Plot[edit]
On May 23rd, 2004, Arika lodged a missing complaint of her husband, Sanjay. Eighteen years later, Nidhi – Arika and Sanjay’s daughter, goes through the case files of her missing father in an attempt to find the truth surrounding his disappearance.
Inspector Aravind Ashwatthama leads the investigation, but soon, the missing complaint in this thriller turns into a murder investigation. When Arika finds Sanjay’s decomposed dead body inside a trunk in the basement of their own house, Aravind’s relentless investigation leads him to various suspects, and Arika becomes the prime suspect in the case.
The case then takes an unexpected turn of events when Matthew enters and divulges that it is a double murder and the second person murdered is his love, Akira, who is the twin sister of Arika.
What follows is a series of interrogations led by Aravind to find Sanjay’s killer and, in the process, determine the truth behind Matthew’s allegations. The case files answer Nidhi’s questions, but she did not anticipate that those answers would shake her world. Although Aravind solved the case, its mystery will forever remain unsolved.
