Some more Investigation
Rajveer Shikhawat has now started his investigation from a very lay level. After that date of the case, he appointed two of his trusted guards at the crime scene. Forensic expert had found out and told Rajveer that Vivaan is the one who has taken all the finger prints from the dead body. So Rajveer knew that if he now asked Vivaan then he would obviously deny because he did the same thing at the court. Hence, he did not ask him about that.
He now went to the St. Louis Convent’s School to dig deeper into this case.
“Ma’am, tell me something about this group of friends” Rajveer asks from the class teacher of Vivaan.
She has been their class teacher since the beginning of class 11th. St. Louis Convent had this habit.
To have the same class teacher in 11th and 12th. This was good. Really very good. So that the teachers and students become all the more frank and friendly with each other. And that the teachers could help the students in their personal lives also.
“This group was basically the one of the riches” she said.
She went on, “All five of them were good in studies but were equally known by the other students for all the bad reasons. They did everything like best friends they partied every week, used to sit in the class nearby each other”
“Did you do something to stop them and their involvement in all the bad deeds?”
“No, because all were really good in studies and whenever I called their parents, they said if my child is doing good then you don’t need to worry about other things. On the 14th Jan was last such meeting and I had given them the last warning about rusticating them if they were found involved in any more activities of this kind”
“Were there any rifts between Samar and this group of five?”
“Only minor ones and even if there were, then teachers hardly get to know any such things in school, but most teachers have seen Samar as friends with the group of five” replied the physics teacher.
“Thank you, ma’am for you co-operation and I might need to contact you again so I request you to please be in the town till the investigation completes” said Rajveer and went out of the fifth room after seeing the Principal.
“Sure”
He had been seeing all the concerned teachers one after the other. And sad to know, that most students get frank with one or the other teacher of their school. But this group? This was exclusive. Nothing they did was known to anyone but them.
While coming out, he saw some students of the present class 12th discussing something. He went closer to get more of what was going on. In school, when it’s the physical education class, most students are playing in the fields. No matter how harsh the weather may seem to most of us, but to these students, such classes are like heaven on the earth.
“We will do the toughest trek possible and will enjoy a lot” a boy was saying this with excitement to his friends in the school corridor.
“Yeah man! We will not be like other girls who act shy but we will surely have a good time there!” exclaimed another.
Rajveer stopped a passing peon and told him that he wanted to know more about the tour. He then took Rajveer to the school ground and was telling him about the tour while roaming in the shade of trees on that hot day.
“Sir, this was initiated by our school few years back. It’s a tour, organized every year. Every year, the destinations are decided by the students where they want to go and the best thing that the students like in this tour is that no teachers accompany them in this tour. Last year, the batch of Vivaan Ahuja was the one that went on the tour. That’s all I can tell you.”
“Thank you” said Rajveer and walked out of the ground.
The school’s ground was located on one side of the whole campus. The school building was in the middle. So he had to once again cross the school building to get out of the school.
He then saw a nerd student from the current class 12th and wanted to ask him about the last year’s tour. The boy told him that if you want to know more about the case, then you should go to Dharamshala, where the last year’s batch had gone.
This aroused Rajveer and he decided to go there to find out more about the killing.
