The Rift | दरार
पटना में एक सुबह 82 वर्षीय गायत्री देवी के घर में ऐसा दृश्य सामने आता है, जिसने पूरे परिवार और पुलिस को हिला दिया। उनकी बहू रेनू राय और दो पोते, आदित्य और वीरेन, अपने कमरों में मृत पाए जाते हैं। शुरुआती जांच में सामने आता है कि हमलावर छत के रास्ते घर में दाखिल हुआ और बेहद करीब से गोलियां चलाईं। फिर भी गायत्री को न तो गोलियों की आवाज सुनाई दी और न ही कुछ दिखाई दिया।
पुलिस का ध्यान रेनू के पति महेंद्र राय पर जाता है, जो घटना से एक दिन पहले अचानक गायब हो चुके हैं और उनके पास बड़ी रकम होने की जानकारी मिलती है। महेंद्र का अपने परिवार से वर्षों से तनावपूर्ण रिश्ता था। उसकी पहली पत्नी सुमित्रा और बेटी भूमि भी उससे अलग हैं, जबकि रेनू और बच्चों के साथ भी उसके संबंध खराब थे।
जांच आगे बढ़ती है तो जमीन विवाद, बाहरी लोगों और महेंद्र की दूसरी जिंदगी से जुड़े कई चौंकाने वाले तथ्य सामने आते हैं। रांची की नैना कश्यप से उसका रिश्ता भी कई छिपे हुए सच सामने लाता है। पुराने पारिवारिक हत्याकांडों की परछाइयां भी वर्तमान मामले से जुड़ने लगती हैं। जैसे-जैसे पुलिस सुराग जोड़ती है, सवाल और गहरा होता जाता है—क्या महेंद्र वास्तव में अपने परिवार के खिलाफ इतना बड़ा कदम उठा सकता था, या इस कहानी के पीछे कोई और सच्चाई छिपी है?

A shocking scene unfolds inside the Rai family home in Patna when 82-year-old Gayatri discovers that her daughter-in-law Renu Rai and her two grandsons, Aditya and Viren, have been killed. The investigation reveals that the attacker entered through the roof, broke the latch, and fired several shots at close range. Yet Gayatri claims she neither heard nor saw anything.
The police soon focus on Renu’s husband, Mahendra Rai (played by Aasit Redij), who disappeared suddenly one day before the murders. He is a wealthy businessman with several properties and businesses, but his troubled family history raises even more questions. His first wife Sumitra and daughter Bhoomi (played by Poorti Arya) remain estranged from him, while his relationship with Renu and their sons had also deteriorated.
As investigators dig deeper, possible links to a land dispute, a local strongman, and Mahendra’s unexplained movements begin to emerge. Then another woman from his life, Naina Kashyap (played by Priya Shinde), reveals that Mahendra had concealed major details about his past and his relationships. Earlier family murders also cast a disturbing shadow over the case. With every new revelation, the mystery becomes more complicated, leaving investigators to wonder whether Mahendra truly had a motive to destroy his own family—or whether someone else was manipulating the trail.
Inside Story
The Bhadaini mass murder case of November 2024 in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, stands out as one of the most chilling and deceptive crimes in recent history. The brutal execution of five members of a single family left the entire nation in shock.
The horror unfolded when police discovered the blood-soaked bodies of liquor businessman Rajendra Gupta’s wife, Neetu, and their three children inside their home. Because Rajendra was missing from the crime scene, initial suspicion heavily fell upon him. Investigators assumed a family dispute or superstition had driven him to eliminate his own lineage. However, the mystery took a staggering turn when police recovered Rajendra Gupta’s body miles away. He, too, had been shot dead.

Deep investigations exposed a dark tale of generational revenge. Decades earlier, Rajendra had murdered his own father and brother. Seeking vengeance and an inheritance, his nephew Vicky Gupta masterminded the plot, hiring shooters to eliminate Rajendra and his entire immediate family.
