Blue Tick | Final Part

Final Chapter : Success?

Aisha was ecstatic when she heard the news that she had become a celebrity. She was overwhelmed with joy and started dancing around her living room. She twirled and spun, feeling a rush of happiness and excitement. She had worked so hard to get to this point and now she was finally achieving her dreams. She felt truly blessed and couldn't believe it was happening to her. She was going to make the most of this opportunity and show the world what she was capable of. With lots of excitement she gave a wrist watch to her father and a couple of gold bangles to her mother.

Aisha's parents were ecstatic when they heard that their daughter was becoming a star. They proudly boasted about her success to their friends and family, not knowing the behind the scenes dark story.? Aisha had done whatever it took to get ahead, compromising her values and her integrity. But to her parents, she was a shining star, and nothing could dim their pride.

Two days later, Rahul found a 2016 Renault Kwid. He had negotiated a good price for the car and was able to get it for just 2.85 lakhs. Aisha was ecstatic and quickly made the payment. The next day, she was driving around town in her new car. She thanked Rahul for his help and told him she was grateful for his assistance. Rahul had gone above and beyond to help her out and she was extremely thankful.

Aisha and Rahul had been planning the success party for weeks. They wanted everything to be perfect. They had booked a 3 star family lounge for the event. On the day of the party, all the guests started to arrive. Surajit was there, as well as some popular Instagram influencers that Aisha and Rahul had invited. Everyone was in high spirits and the celebration began. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food, drinks, and music. The party was a huge success and everyone had a great time. Aisha drank a lot and decided to drive the car to come back home. As the night came to an end, she was driving and met with an accident and died on the spot.

Local people crowded the spot. They called the police and an ambulance and reported the incident. The police and paramedics arrived at the scene and took Aisha's body to the hospital for a post-mortem. According to the initial police investigation report, it was a simple drink and drive accident resulting in death.

The news of the accident spread quickly, and soon the whole town was talking about it. Everyone was very saddened by the tragedy and offered their condolences to Aisha's family and friends. The Instagram influencer who was present at the party also posted about the accident and expressed his grief.

Mrs. Ritika Bhattacharya (a psychologist) watched the news on Facebook. She recognized Aisha, as she had been at the same hotel lounge with her colleagues on the night of the party. She called her husband (IPS Aviram Bhattacharya) and said, "I don't think it was an accident, I think it was a planned murder." Aviram watched the news video and called the police station.

Aviram - Hello, this is Aviram.

Rajeev (Constable) - Jai Hind, Sir.

Aviram - Could you please tell me the list of evidence collected from the scene of Aisha's accident?

Rajeev - Yes, Sir. Give me a minute.

(After a while)

Aviram - Alright.

Rajeev - A lady's handbag, car documents, a whiskey bottle, Aisha's voter ID card, and 1.5 lakh in cash.

Aviram - What about her driving license and mobile phone?

Rajeev - No, Sir. According to her father's statement, Aisha didn't have a driving license, and we didn't find her mobile phone. It might have been stolen.

Aviram - That's ridiculous! Someone left 1.5 lakh in cash there and kept a broken mobile phone? Don't release the body. I'll be there around 11 AM. Make sure the forensics report is ready quickly.

After dropping the call, Aviram asked his wife, "Tell me what you saw that night at the hotel. Try to explain everything." Ritika said, "That girl was enjoying the party and drinking a lot. One man, who might have been her boyfriend, repeatedly left the party and came out talking on the phone." After thinking for a moment, Ritika said again, "I clearly heard the man talking to someone saying, 'The car brake is loose. Don't worry, everything will be done according to the plan.'" After hearing that, Aviram shouted out, "It's a cold-blooded planned murder!"

After reaching the police station, Aviram called the cyber expert and started investigating the case. Within three to four hours, police arrested Rahul.

As per Rahul's confession statement, he had manipulated Aisha by establishing a group of characters - the fan page boy, security guard of the restaurant, and a fake Instagram fan page that was used to post alluring content. Everything that happened with Aisha was planned and scripted with the motive of money. He had taken nearly 12-13 lakhs from her for giving her a "Blue Tick". Rahul had also planned to murder her and had intentionally caused her car to break down. He had sent a fake email using the name of Instagram. Police interrogated Surajit too, but he was not found guilty in the case. Within a few days, Instagram's legal cell filed a complaint against Rahul and Surajit for using and defaming the brand name for wrong reasons.

A few days later, when Aisha's father was returning from the Ganga Ghats after disposing of his daughter's remains, he noticed a girl of Aisha's age and some boys making an Instagram Reel to the song, "Patli Kamariya Teri.. Hai Hai Hai... " The girl was shouting and telling the boys, "Now I will get the Blue Tick".

... This is not the end!

Aisha is not a human character; it's a habit. Aisha is our mental health issue which psychological terms call "The Fame Motive". Aisha is in our everyday life. AISHA stands for Addicted to Internet and Self Harm Attitude.
