Part 21
Prisha was humming a song,
She's present in the court.
It's 18th July the final hearing.
The judge has already arrived but there's no presence of Aditi and Anmol.
Soon they come hurriedly from the door, after getting Warnings from the judge, they take their respective seats on the left.
Ishan's family is also present and surprisingly Aditi's family too.
Her dad is looking presentable with a suit, her sister is stuck up at her phone and her mother looks like she robbed a jewellery store.
As soon as Anmol saw Prisha, she gave a mischievous smirk to him. The same type of smile he gives to her when they meet.
Two police officers entered the room with Ishan in the middle.
They took him to a separate bar and he stood there.
He looked at Prisha, He was more miserable than before. He got weaker and weaker spending one week in the jail.
He suddenly looked at His mom, she started crying seeing her son in this condition. His brother comforted her.
Aditi's family looked at the devastated mom of Ishan and rolled their eyes. Aditi's mom even whispered something,
" What a show " Prisha heard it. So did the people around her. Aditi glared at her to be quiet.
Judge commanded Prisha to come over and provide the evidence.
She gave one footage clip, it rolled down on the big screen.
It was the same footage that was captured on the light stand of Ambani Villa, showing the balcony of the room.
Aditi was rubbing her head, and chatting to someone on the phone. Prisha looked over at Aditi,
Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped to the ground.
Anmol Facepalmed himself.
The judge seemed to understand the context of what Prisha was trying to say.
" Ms Hundia, you said that Mr Kishan viciously attacked you. Then how are you here on the balcony? " Judge asked her before Prisha could say anything.
Aditi played with her fingers and said, " This was the moment before the scene took place. " Judge nodded his head.
Prisha took over the investigation,
" And where was Ishan when you were on the balcony? "
She fumed with her response,
" In the bathroom" Such a smooth lier.
" May I request the Video to proceed further " Prisha,
requested.
The video showed the footages of half an hour later, Aditi was still in the balcony, chatting to someone.
" Further " Prisha demanded.
Another half an hour passed, and she was still on the balcony.
Aditi went nervous and started playing with her hands.
Judge was also understanding where the situation is going, and Demanded Aditi to come to Witness bar.
She stood just opposite of Ishan.
There was a seriousness in the air,
Prisha cleared her throat and started,
" Ishan was in the bathroom for one hour? " She raised her eyebrows.
" Yea.. No..he.. He passed out in the bathroom" She stuttered.
" Then how did he rape you? "
Prisha snapped another question.
Aditi mumbled something to herself, " Louder " Prisha commanded. No voice came out of Prisha's tongue.
She stood there like a statue.
Judge commanded her to answer the question, but she said nothing. Aditi was taking deep breaths and her eyes were teary.
They had Fear in them. Fear of getting caught.
Prisha shook her head so done with Aditi's silence, she took the matters upon herself and said,
" Your honour, Since Aditi is not saying a word. Let me recite the story. Aditi, when I am done please say if I was correct or not. Ok? At least you can do this much. " Prisha tilted her neck to Aditi, eyeing her.
Anmol stood from his place for ' objection' but before he could Object, Judge pointed out his hands and stopped him.
" You may proceed Ms Rao"
" Thank you, your honour " She smiled at picked up some papers from her tables. Ishan's eyes were following her every moment. Prisha caught him staring and he looked away.
" Your honour, this is the background information about
Mr. Iqbal Mustafa Khan.
He has a degree in Pharmacy and his dad owns a Medical store.
He suddenly took up event management. " She handed out the papers to the judge.
Iqbal was absent today.
" Sir, once Narcotics raid his house because his brother
Amar khan was caught smuggling drugs. This incident is very old like 5-6 years ago.
What I am trying to say is, His background is related to Drug dealings. "
Judge took the another report Prisha provided which was Narcotics report of Amar khan.
A legal document.
" Iqbal is also invested in these things and so is Aditi. Let me tell you how.
Aditi met Iqbal at a party. The year 2019 right? " Everyone looked at Aditi who nodded in yes.
" They have been hanging out and stuff for the past 5 years. At the same time, the incident with Amar khan took place. He's still in jail. "
" Objection my Lord " Prisha was waiting for his response. Here it comes, " How's that related to what Miss Rao is saying. Just because someone's brother is arrested, are there any restrictions that my client can't hang out with them "
He stated. Prisha went on to reply but she heard an
" Overruled " She mentally thanked the judge for not wasting her time arguing with this guy who's first job is Interrupting people and second one is being a lawyer.
" Continue " Judge said.
Prisha recalled from where she left,
" Coming back to my point, the reasons why I am sure that Iqbal and Aditi are involved in drug dealing are,
First, she lied that Ishan Raped her when from the past one hour she is resting in the armchair on the balcony. Talking to someone.
The second one, is the background of Iqbal khan. Before my opponent here objects to any of these two,
May I request for fast forward of Video "
The judge handling the big screen through his laptop, did as Prisha said and stopped when she told him too.
Beneath the Balcony of the room was a garden. Iqbal came into sight, his face wasn't visible but someone can easily make out it was him by his clothes and hair. He looked up at Aditi and called out to her. She kept her phone down and leaned down to face him.
Aditi was captured giggling and tucking her hair behind her ear.
She smiled at something he said and stood up normally.
They both gave a thumbs up to each other and Iqbal went out, Aditi went inside the room.
She wasn't seen out after that incident. When asked Aditi what talk they had, she replied that he was living and bidding each other goodbye. Pretty convincing lie.
Anmol made another objection,
" Sir, what type of reasons are these?
Ms Rao is just wasting our time "
He said in an unpleasant voice.
" I'll have to waste some more time, " She replied to Anmol and looked at the judge,
" Sir, can the ethical hackers of the High Court check and release the phone history and Activity of Aditi" She requested.
" Absolutely no sir " Anmol hesitantly came forward and stood beside Aditi.
"Mr Raina, it's up to me to decide. And yes, both Ishan's and Aditi's phone will be checked.
And presented live. This is the final hearing, whatever outcomes take place, today the decision will be made. " He said and rang the bell of break time.
" It's my order to provide the phones of Aditi and Ishan to our ethical hacking team. The results will be shown live after break and discussion will be held " He stood up and went out to eat.
Prisha also made her way out,
Ramu Kaka had booked a seat for Prisha and Ishan's family in the nearby pav Bhaji stall.
They all went in there. No one was eating or had the courage to eat. Except for Prisha.
" He will be released na beta? "
Ishan's mom asked all of a sudden. Prisha, who had stuffed Pav and Bhaji in her face said
" Absolutely "
His mom nodded in a worried way and started playing with the tomato gravy containing the vegetables, she wasn't eating anything. Nor any of Ishan's Family members. Prisha was a different case, she was eating like there will be a food shortage in Mumbai and she will never get to eat.
Prisha noticed the tensed environment Ishan's family created, she felt embarrassed for eating when no one is, but she couldn't resist food. She said,
" Don't be tense guys. Ishan will be released today. I guarantee you! Don't you all trust me? "
" Of course we do beta" His dad replied and took his first Bite.
" What If you fail to prove him Innocent? " Ishan's mom asked.
Prisha didn't feel bad about her question, she understands what she is going through right now.
Prisha hugged her and rubbed her back. " I won't disappoint you. " She broke the hug and said, " I will prove him innocent If I get to eat malai ke pede afterwards " Prish joked.
Everyone chuckled at her response and started eating. She sighed in relief. Prish looked at the time and told them to eat quickly because the lunchtime is about to end.
**✿❀ ❀✿**
The team of ethical hackers were sitting there. They had fully decoded the phone of Ishan and Prisha.
Everything was set up, the judge arrived and soon the investigation began.
Anmol came first and asked to check Ishan's phone first.
They connected Ishan's phone to the screen. Anmol told them to open the call history, which was filled with him trying to call Aditi, a few calls from Prisha, and one call from Virat.
When asked about the call of Virat, Ishan gave the truthful reasons.
Anmol then said to open his chats,
There were messages of him trying to reach Aditi, and her no response.
Other messages included Prisha telling him to make Maggi because it was raining outside.
This was the message she typed when she stayed 3 days at his home.
Prisha felt a ping of embarrassment that her chats are out but there was nothing suspicious.
His other chats were with Tilak Varma,
Ishan - bhai ready ho gya?
Tilak - BC kabka niche aake khada hu kidhar mar gya?
Ishan - ruk aaya. Baal set kar rha tha.
Ishan chuckled at his chats.
This was getting hilarious and then serious.
Amnol then asked to open his gallery.
Which was full of his goofy pics.
Before Anmol. Could proceed further to check anything else, that will embarrass Prisha or Ishan in any way, she stood up.
" My turn " With this she came to where Anmol was standing. He backed up a little and Prisha took the case.
" Does this data provide deleted messages too? " She asked the dude who was an ethical hacker.
" Yeah," He replied as Aditi's phone screen came up.
Anmol was clutching his hands and Aditi was bitting her nails.
Moment of the truth.
" Let's get directly to the point. Open her messages with Iqbal"
Prisha commanded.
The screen flashed up, there were many contacts in her recent chats. Just a little scroll down, Her chats with Iqbal were situated.
They popped up on the screen and everyone was shocked by seeing those chats.....
