Spoilers ahead
Fourteen-year-old Shruti Tandon, Ayesha Parveen, is found dead at her home in Sameer Vihar, Noida, during the night of 15–16 March 2008. The Tandons’ household is thrown into turmoil as investigators comb through the initial leads, including the missing servant Khempal, whose decomposed body is later found on the building’s terrace. The early whispers center on Khempal’s close friend and the Tandons’ assistant, Kanhaiya, who claims that Khempal may have been involved with Shruti in a sexual relationship. Those claims fuel a narrative that the murders could be an instance of an honour killing, setting the stage for a charged public debate and a scrutinized police inquiry.
