The Mystery of the Swinging Swing: Unveiling the Secrets Behind an Empty Playground – English (Part: 2)

            In the cctv footage, everyone in the police station started to see exactly where Jogendra’s mobile fell…..

         For that, Ravi   rewinds the cctv footage from where Jogendra stops swing. And everyone started watching. From there, as Jogendra lowered his mobile camera and gaze, he screamed loudly and followed in panic, but the phone was still firmly held in his hand and it was still on. He was looking up while running and waving both his arms vigorously in the air. Just like some bird in the air, or when a stone is thrown on a hive of bees,   a man runs and runs to get rid of them when their flock is turned away. Like that he started running waving his hands in the air.   Jogendra walked out of the gate of the garden. 

        The subsequent shooting had to be seen in another cctv. Seen in it….

        While watching, Jogendra went out of the gate of the garden and hit where there was an Audumbar tree(A sacred tree outside of Lord Datta’s temple) outside and that’s when his mobile phone fell from his hand and Jogendra ran from there again and came to the middle of the highway where the all vehicles  were running with high speed. Jogendra got hit by a speeding truck and died on the spot.

         But the police stopped the cctv footage when Jogendra hit the Audumbara tree and his mobile fell. And when they zoomed in on the place where the mobile fell, they saw…

        That mobile stuck safely in between two roots of that tree. So there was no damage to the mobile phone.

          After watching the drama in the footage, Shiva said, “This mobile is stuck between two trunks of a tree as if someone has taken care of the mobile. And it looks active. There is no damage. Surely someone has taken it!”

          Ravi, “Got to check the next footage.”

          Sudhir, “Let’s all check this cctv footage in turn as we get time. In the footage of next 1 to 2 hours we will know who stole the mobile.”

Next day night again Shiva asked Ravi, “What Ravi, have you checked the cctv footage?”

            Ravi hit his head and said, “Yes done, all the footage from that day till now.”

            Shiv, “Why did you check so much? What was the problem?”

            Ravi,”Invented cctv   to catch theft early but here cctv made a mess!”

             “What mess?” Both Sudhir and Alok came together in the office and said.

             “This cctv footage has created a lot of suspense.” Sameer got tired and sat on the chair.

             “If Jogendra’s mobile phone had been stolen, it would have been easy to find him, but the puzzle that this ghost has created has become difficult to solve.” Ravi went near the LCD and said.

             Shiv, “Hey man, are you going to tell me straight what happened?”

             “Instead of telling what has happened, you should watch the current footage of this cctv.” Sameer said zooming the footage on the LCD. And on the front LCD you can see the cctv shooting of Deul and Audumbara area.

              “Look between the two trunks under the Audumbara tree.” Sameer said zooming in between the two trunks.

                Shiv, Sameer, Sudhir, Alok get a big shock after seeing that zoomed part! It is seen in the cctv footage….. that Jogendra’s mobile phone is lying in the tree trunk in the same working condition.

                “Ah, this mobile is still there and its camera is on.” Shiva put his hand on his head and said.

                  “How is this possible?” Sudhir said.

                  “Then why didn’t you go there and bring the mobile phone?” Alok said, going near Ravi.

                 “So, what did you think we hadn’t done?” Ravi said annoyed.

                  “The mobile phone was seen lying under the tree in the cctv footage all day today, so I went straight to the garden. But what if I look there……?” Sameer said.

                  “What,” Shiva said.

                  “There was no mobile there!” Sameer pointed to the LCD and continued his speech,” I thought the mobile was stolen while coming to the garden so I asked Ravi to check the cctv here. He said the mobile is still under the tree. Yes. I can see it in cctv from here. But I didn’t see the mobile doing anything there. Finally, I shot there with my mobile. The mobile is not visible in it. Look at the   shooting done by the mobile,” Sameer showed the mobile.

                  “Oh my god, this is a strange mystery. Now how will this mystery be revealed?” Shiva.

                  “Look, the empty swing in the garden is starting to moving again and that black figure is again visible in front of that swing,” Alok said looking at the LCD   .

            “I have an idea for you to know the secret.” Sudhir

                 “What idea?” Shiva.

                “Me, Sameer and Alok we three go to the garden. And I shoot with my mobile and stop that swing. Like Jogendra stopped it. And you all stay here and watch the cctv. And stay in touch with us on RT.” Sudhir

     “Okay, good idea.” Shiva.

     After some  time, Sudhir, Sameer and Alok reached the garden.

Sudhir stands at the gate of the garden and says, “You two stay here and keep an eye on me from here. I’ll go inside and shoot and we’ll be in contact via blue tooth.”

                “Ok,” both Sameer and Alok say.

         Sudhir starts shooting an empty swing leaning in the garden, the black figure seen in the cctv at the same time in the police station is not seen by Sudhir in the garden and is not visible in his mobile camera.   Sudhir suddenly catches the moving empty swing. And when he continues shooting, he sees nothing there and also nothing in his mobile. He leaves the swing and again the swing starts to move. Again Sudhir grabs the moving swing and stops him, this time he doesn’t see anything!   In reality and in mobile cameras too! At the same time, Sudhir is thrown back with a force and falls unconscious.

        In a short while at that place……..

                 “Sudhir Saheb, Sudhir Saheb,” Both Sameer and Alok wake up Sudhir who is unconscious in the garden and splash water on his face with a water bottle. So Sudhir opens his eyes and sits holding his head with both hands. Both Sameer and Alok stand beside him.

              “Sir, how are you?” Alok.

              “Sir, are you ok? Is there any injury?” Sameer.

            “Ah…? “Sudhir lowered his hands above his head and raised his head and looked around. Sudhir and Alok were standing on either side of him and the moving swing in front of him had stopped completely! Sudhir took the water bottle from Alok’s hand and drank the water in one gulp and stood up.

      “Just now, there was a call from the police station. We have been called there as soon as possible. But if you are not feeling well, if there is any injury, let’s go to the doctor first right now, sir?” Alok asked, putting his hand on Sudhir’s shoulder.

         “No, need to go to the doctor. I am OK now.” Sudhir   stood up and said, “Let’s go back to the police station.” So Sameer and Alok started walking.

                After coming out of the garden, suddenly the bells of god Dutta’s temple outside started ringing and Sudhir, Alok and Sameer were the first towards it. They were shocked.

               Jogendra’s mobile phone was lying in the trunk under the audumbara tree in front of the temple!

              Sudhir ran and put the mobile in his pocket. And after bowing to Dattaguru left with Sameer and Alok.

             After coming in the police station, Sudhir showed the mobile phone to everyone and said, “Look at Jogendra’s mobile phone! It is switched off and you have to charge it and unlock it from your software engineer. Then maybe you will know why Jogendra suddenly ran away because I didn’t see anything in my mobile phone. And actually nothing was seen.”

              “Yes, but here in cctv we watched a horror film.” Shiva said.

              “Horror film?” Sameer said suddenly.

               Alok,” but we were standing outside the garden, we only saw that Sudhir stopped the swing for the second time but someone pushed him back and again went near the swing and fell unconscious there, so we both went near him.”

              “Yes, but in that time there has been a great horror drama!” Shiva.

              ” Such a big horror drama that you would not see the first in any movie till date. I think if we buy a ticket and do a show in a theater, we will get good money.” Ravi said with a smile.

             Sudhir, “Big horror drama? Show it soon, we want to see it too. Show it soon.”

             Sudhir, Alok and Sameer all start looking at the LCD.

             While Sudhir is shooting in the garden, the black figure is seen in the cctv. When Sudhir stopped the swing with his hand for the second time, suddenly someone pushed him towards the black figure. The black figure entered in Sudhir’s body.

      That black figure came out of Sudhir’s body and at the same time another small figure appeared on the swing. A fight started between those 2 figures. And suddenly the cctv in front of the temple outside the garden shows that the bells started ringing and a bright white football shaped ball came out

 and then it came near these 2 black figures in the garden. And 2 caught these figures and destroyed them in the Roots at the base of  the Audumbara tree. After that the white ball disappeared at the base of Dattaguru’s temple!

           “What does it all mean?” Sudhir said in a confused tone.

           “Perhaps the divine power in the temple destroyed those 2 ghosts.” Shiva.

       “The black figure seen earlier in the cctv belongs to Jogendra. That’s for sure. Because when his birthday was celebrated in the garden, that black figure was nowhere in the garden. Maybe he has some enmity with the figure above the swing.” Ravi said.

           “This secret will be revealed in Jogendra’s mobile phone. That too cannot be said for sure.” Sameer said letting out a big sigh.

           Just then a person comes there unlocking the phone. After receiving the phone, immediately connecting it to the LCD, everyone gathers and starts watching something like a horror movie has started.

            Clicking on the last clip in the mobile will show up. Jogendra stops the empty moving swing by holding it with his hand. At first nothing is visible. But catches the second time and just as he takes the mobile camera down from the swing chain…

            There was a long haired, 7/8 year old girl looking at him angrily. Seeing her, Jogendra   Screamed loudly and began to panic, when the girl’s ghost followed Jogendra. Jogendra had not turned off the phone camera in that mess. He kept running until he was hit by a truck on the highway and the ghost was chasing him!   While watching, Jogendra stepped out of the gate of the garden and   hit the audumbara tree and that’s when his mobile phone fell from his hand and Jogendra ran from there again and came to the middle of the highway where   the cars were running at high speed Jogendra was hit by a speeding truck and died on the spot. All this was shot in mobile.

       On the LCD, Sudhir rewinds the whole video and poses at the beginning when the girl’s ghost appears in close-up, “I feel like seeing this girl somewhere.”

        “Girl?:” Shiva pointed to the LCD and added, “Sudhir, it’s a ghost! And what face do you see in it? There are notches in place of the eyes, the teeth look black and yellow. The hair is just wild. Dirty dirty body. Yes, the children who beg at the signal here are cleaner than this.”

                 “Yes, I remember,” Sudhir said, immediately slapping his hand on the table. “On the 2nd day after Jogendra’s death, a dead body of a 7/8-year-old girl was found in a dilapidated house in Dharbi Wadi!

Her dead body is still lying in the morgue!”

                 “Ha, you know because no one came to take her body away. She was a destitute child begging at the signal. That’s why her corpse is still lying in the morgue.” Alok said.

                  “Yes, before that the post mortem of her body was done, in the post mortem it was stated that the girl was raped.” Ravi.

                  “Idea,” Sudheer said loudly, “Let’s check the cctv footage of the place where the dead body of this girl was found. Maybe we can find out that someone has molested her.”

       Ravi, “Dharbi wadi comes in our police station area. You will get cctv footage in this computer.” So Ravi clicked on Dharbi Wadi file. After the file opened, Sudhir clicked on Jogendra’s birthday date. After about 2/3 hours Sudhir got a lot of information in that cctv footage.

                   “What Sudhir sir, since last 2/3 hours you are watching this cctv footage like watching a picture on TV! I opened the cctv file for you before going on round and went on round and after coming back doing the same thing. Are there any results from your viewing?” Ravi came inside the police station and went near Sudhir’s table and said.

           Sudhir,” yes got good A to Z information. Ravi do you know any video editor?”

           “Why ask him?” Alok interrupted and said, “What are the names of those two boys, that we picked up that day…”

            “Arjuna and Dhruva,” replied Shiva, “what is their connection here?”

            Alok, “Those two boys are tormenting me by asking me about this case. They unlocked Jogendra’s phone. After that they are asking the same. What is in that video. Both of them are experts in this work, they will do this job well.”

              Sudhir, “Then tell them tomorrow at 3 pm I will show you the complete movie on the projector in our conference room!”

            The next day, everyone in the police station gathered in the conference room…

Sudhir, “Ravi, what was the time of death of that girl according to the post mortem report?”

            “Ten to twelve hours before,” Ravi.

             “Then what is the timing in this first cctv footage,” Sudhir said.

             “2100 hours is 9pm.” Alok said.

             “That means 12 hours before the girl’s death, this is where the movie starts. You keep an eye on the timing of each cctv footage. Dhruva, Start the Dhruva show,”Sudhir orderd.

        cctv footage number one -2100 inferior-

         A beggar girl is seen sitting on an empty pot in a street. After some time Jogendra came near that girl. He held the girl’s mouth and picked her up, she tried hard to free herself.  But it is not possible to escape from the grip of Jogendra’s 6 feet body weighing two and a half kilos .

        cctv footage number 2105 inferior-

          Jogendra takes the girl and comes to the same dilapidated   house and closes the doors of that house. This is the same house   where the body of the same girl was found the next day. After 15/20 minutes Jogendra comes out zipping his pants and buttoning his shirt. Just then his friend comes there and takes him with him. But in the cctv, behind Jogendra, a pale black figure in the shape of a girl flies.

            Everyone in the conference room sees the smoky figure and everyone says… Look at that girl’s ghost!

            cctv footage number three- which is in front of the garden, and Jogendra’s friend’s mobile camera footage depicting the scene of Jogendra’s accidental death shows the ghost of the girl in Jogendra’s mobile camera.      

          cctv footage number four- which shows a black figure of Jogendra size under a tree in the garden and an empty moving swing.

            cctv footage number five – it depicts Sudhir’s search drama in the garden.

            cctv footage number six– a ball of bright white light from outside the temple destroys the two ghosts.

            cctv footage number seven -next night everything is normal in that garden. There is no empty swing movement condition or any black   figure is visible.   Somehow that garden was freed from the curse.

           After finishing all the footage in this way, Sudhir came in front of the projector and said, “Shakespeare once said that the world is a stage and we are all characters in it. But in today’s age, the world is a big movie with a director and producer, cameraman, technician. Even the animation specialist is indeed God! That’s why in the cctv footage, the mobile camera, the ghost, Jogendra’s mobile appeared according to his will, as Sudheer says, a photo of Dutt Guru appears on the LCD. Sudhir turns around and salutes the photo and leaves followed by everyone in the conference room bowing respectfully to the photo.
