The Second Date of the Case
Albert started, “Your excellence, there are a lot of police investigation also going on parallel. I have a strong feel that someone from the police department is playing from both sides and is helping to destroy the evidences. For some questioning, I would like to call Mr. Rajveer Shikhawat in the witness box please.
“Mr. Shikhawat, who do you think is responsible for destroying the evidences related to this case?”
There was silence for a while. For a few seconds. Rajveer was angry inside but calm outside. Angry because he himself was worried for the finger prints now and this accusing on him, this angered him even more. He then gathered some breath.
“No one in fact no evidences have been destroyed in this case and I am making sure nothing like that ever happens” said Mr. Rajveer.
“But what about the finger prints on the body of Samar Singhania?” Albert asked.
This shocked Rajveer. How did he get to know about all this? Is he also aware of the person who has done it?
“Mr. Rajveer, don’t think that what you hide from one person can be hidden from the rest of the world”
“Mr. Rajveer, do you agree that you have no finger prints from the body of Samar Singhania?” the judge asked.
“Yes, your honor I agree” replied Rajveer.
“Then how can you think of hiding this from the court?” judge said.
“I am sorry your honor. I thought I would be the one blamed for that”
“Of course you will be blamed because even if you haven’t done it, someone from your department has done it or someone’s negligence has” Albert said.
He continued, “Now tell me who is responsible for doing this?”
“The guard who was there at night duty was the only one present that night and according to him he didn’t see anyone getting in the Marina” Rajveer replied.
“No, your honor! It was Vivaan Ahuja! It was he who had taken the finger prints” Mr. d Souza yelled.
“Your honor, my worthy colleague, Mr. Albert is accusing my client for something which he cannot make any use of. I would like to ask Albert that what use a school boy can make of finger prints” Mr. Sharma spoke up.
“Well, if you ask me, then I would say Vivaan did it because it was his finger print which he wiped off”
“Your honor, Mr. Albert is again making false accusations against my client and this could amount to another lawsuit against him” Arun was furious this time.
The Judge interrupted, “I don’t know who has done it. Mr. Shikhawat, I want you to dig into this and find out who has done it as soon as possible” judge said.
There were a lot more happenings in court that day. Albert had once again tried to convince that it was Vivaan.
“Your honor, I think only Vivaan could have done this because he was the one found with the dead body at the crime scene and maybe it was his fingerprint that he actually wiped off”
That night, there were reports in the media about the involvement of Vivaan Ahuja in wiping off the finger prints off the dead body. That day in court, Albert d Souza demanded from the court that if Vivaan is involved in removing the finger prints, then he should be also tried for life imprisonment to which the judge had replied that since he is not 18 yet and due to this he cannot be tried for a punishment like this. The judge later warned Albert to be in his limits and not accuse someone so much. To this Albert also apologized.
