Chapter 3 The tea served refreshed Inspector Bakshi’s mood. He took a couple of sips paused and then a couple of sips more. He kept the half-filled cup on the table and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. “So Mr.Khanna first of all I am sorry for your loss. We will get to the core of this and get to the culprit. In relation to the case I need to ask you a few questions. May I?” “Yes Inspector” Aditya said keeping his cup down on the table.
