STATEMENTS
1. SECURITY GUARD :

2/23
It never really looked like a
normal day.I generally have my
duty at the gate,and thats
where I love working.People
come and go,its quite nice
interacting with them.Good way
to pass your time.But my boss can create a
nuisance for me
sometimes,shifting my duty to
awkward places.You tell mesir,what can a security guard
possibly have to do with gardens
and flowers.Yet,there I was,all
morning,stamping the wet flowerbeds with my foot all day,just so
that some sick gardener could
-

grow stupid plants.I went in at
around 11 oclock,all tired by my
morning effort,and the guy tells
me to patrol the first floor.I tell
you,the boss has hated me ever
since my arrival into this college.
I left for my duty immediately ofcourse,so that the old boy does
not get angry.While passing
through the corridor,I saw a boy
using his cellphone.He did notnotice me,as I watched from the
window of the closed door.So I
call him out,and who else could it
be but Sam.I have caught thatlittle brat( may his soul be
blessed) talking over the phone

security office,to go to boss,and
ask him what to do with the boy.I
did not find boss in his office,and
after some contemplation,I
myself wrote an application to
the boy and went back to him.On
my way,while passing over room122,I saw boss in quite a heated
conversation with a boy.I once
thought of going to him and
telling him about what I haddone,but then thought
otherwise.You would appreciate
my decision if you knew the kind
of anger my boss possesses .So,Iwent back to room 114,handed
him over the letter I had
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
6/23
written,and started patrolling
the floor once again.It was after
some time,that I again took a
stroll to that corridor,and saw a
boy turn into the corridor just as I
did.It was the same boy whom
my boss had just recently beeninvolved with in a chat.I was not
amazed to see him,as boss had
just passed me in the opposite
corridor,about 5 minutes ago. Hewas in quite a hurry,moving to
room 133,I gathered.A teacher
had called him and that must
have saved this boy,who hadbeen suffering his wrath since
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
7/23
the past 1 hour,as I have been
told.
So, going back to where I was.I
saw this boy in the corridor,and
he saw me.He walked towards
room 114,and so did I,from the
opposite direction.He suddenlyopened the door to the wretched
room,and gave a shout.I was
nearly at the door too,moved
immediately,to see what he saw.Isaw poor Sam lying dead in a
pool of blood. I then tried to
do,what I was supposed to
do,holding the boy back,whiletrying to start the camera of my
phone,to click pictures for the
-

police.The most sensible thing to
do,they told me.But then I lost
control of the boy, and he ran
towards the body, must have
been his dear friend.
2. TEACHER :Yes,I was the teacher for his last
lecture. I teach them WC,and am
in CSE department.Nothing much
happened during my lecture.Thekid looked happy,although I
cannot say that he definitely
was,since I did not talk to him
even once during the entirelecture.I distributed their
sessional exam sheets and
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
9/23
allowed them to come to me in
case of any doubt.Some sheets
were still left unchecked,I
checked them.I distinctly
remember that Sams sheet was
one of them.He got really good
marks. I gave him his answersheet and rested for some
time.There really was nothing to
do,as I had left all my stuff,even
my purse at the staffroom.Cannot bring all your
stuff,with so many sessional
sheets in your hands.Theres
nothing more to tell really,helooked quite well in my class,I
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
10/23
collected the sheets in the
end,and left the classroom.
3. GIRLFRIEND :
This has really come out as a
shock.I cannot believe he killed
himself.I left the classroom,withother children.Sam and me had
not been on talking terms for
quite some time now.I really
loved him,and he loved me morethan one could imagine.He was
very possessive too.But,he had a
lot of financial problems.and was
going the wrong way,in his life,tobe truthful.I tried to persuade
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
11/23
him to change,but he just could
not,no matter how hard he tried.
Some chap had threatened to kill
him if Sam was unable to return
his money that day.That is when
I decided it was time to call it
quits. I sent him a message andtold him I wanted to break up.He
said he could not live without
me,and immediately sent me his
picture saying sorry.Then he saidhe really would die if I left him.I
tried to convince him that break
up was the only option,but he
just would not listen.It was thenthat I messaged him to say that I
was coming to talk to him.I went
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
12/23
to room 114,we talked for about
5 minutes.Surprisingly
enough,he said he would talk to
me after some time.Never has he
ignored me before.I left him in a
state of anger.Then I received
this message from him,and wasleft in tears.I nearly choked on
reading what he wrote,but
somehow kept my faith in him.I
wanted to go back and talk tohim,but I saw a guard looking in
at his room,and I decided to talk
to him later. I was just passing
the staff room to go downstairswhen our WC teacher,who had
just come out from staff

room,moving into the corridor
,asked me what happened.I just
could not say anything and ran
downstairs,to my friend Namitha.
4. BOY (Rohit) :
It is true that I had threatenedSam the other day.But trust me
on one thing,I would never do
something as horrible as this.If
you think logically too,I am notan imbecile to threaten him
openly,and then kill him too.I did
not know him before I lended
him the huge sum of 10k .It wason a friends
recommendation.Anyways,there
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
14/23
I was,that wretched day,sitting in
my classroom,early
morning,wondering where to
arrange 10k from.Actually,I gave
Sam money,after borrowing it
from someone else.It was only
when that guy threatened to killme if I was unable to return his
money the next day,that I
threatened Sam with the
same.The next day arrives andhe dies.My hard luck.He had
messaged me in the morning
that he would be returning my
money.My happiness knew nobounds when I read his
message.I saw his timetable to
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
15/23
find out when he was free,and
went back to class.It was very
unfortunate that the head of
security caught me in my so
called illegal act,just in the
previous lecture,and stretched
his conversation to the nextlecture.How I wished he would
just leave and let me go to Sam
to get my money.I ran to room
114 as soon as he left,for theyhad a class there just the
previous lecture.Cannot think of
anything else,when money is
involved,can weThough,I hadlittle hopes of finding him there
since his break had started quite
-

a while ago.The rest is as the
security guard told you.
5. Head of Security Office :
I have never liked that
person( security guard).How can
someone possibly appoint an exconman to be a security guard in
such a prestigious
institution.Still,cant deny a
recommendation from the deanhimself.But I have never trusted
this man,always in need of
money.Never have I seen such a
greedy man.I would not besurprised,if he killed the poor
student.

6. FRIENDS ( DK and Sunny) :
It is true that we were his closest
friends.We were just like
brothers.The incident has really
shocked us.We always knew that
he loved the girl enough to diefor her,but we never expected it
to happen.Also,he had looked so
cheerful the entire day.He had
said that his money problemswould be a thing of the past,soon
enough.But his most exceptional
achievement had been his ability
to leak a question paper inITMU.We could hardly believe it
when we saw the same
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
18/23
questions appear in the exam
that he had told us.His genius
was such that he somehow
managed to talk to the teacher
about the question paper,in front
of the entire class.They had
generated a ciphertext amongstthemselves,and that,he said was
the way to go when you wanted
to do something private.It has
never been a secret to anyone ofus that the teacher had been in
need of money.I remember how
we chatted in the lecture before
he died.He just refused to givehis answer sheet to anyone.Only
two of use knew why,and we
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
19/23
winked at him.May he get more
papers leaked is what we
prayed.He generally goes with us
during the break,but that day he
decided to stay back.Not
surprising now though,since he
planned to kill himself. If onlyI(dk) was there,I would have
somehow made him see
sense.But both of us sat quietly
in a room on the groundfloor,talking to friends.Altough,I
(dk) did come upstairs once to
take my pen back from the
teacher.I had given it to herduring the previous lecture.I
found her ,sure enough,outside
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
20/23
the staff room.She nearly
freaked out on seeing me,quite a
nervous person,poor lady.The
guard ,who was talking to her
calmed her down,and I went
back after taking my pen from
her.Had I known that somethingwas about to happen,I would
have gone straight to him.
7. POLICE :
The police has declared it to be a
case of suicide.Police officials say
that the boy killed himself,as hisgirlfriend broke up with him. Poor
girl,cried her heart out when she
-
8/6/2019 Arrest in Peace
21/23
received his message saying that
he would either kill himself if she
did not come back to him,or
would tell her secret to
everyone,so that she kills
herself.
The gun found in his hand hasbeen confirmed to be the
weapon used.Police says that the
boy shot himself right through
his heart,and died instantly. Heart is equally sensitive as the
brain.The boy perhaps knew that
shooting at heart gives instant
and least painful death,and so heshot himself there said the
doctor.The boy also left a suicide

note,though it does not reveal
much.
There was such a large number
of these guns sold illegaly at
cheap rates during last year in a
racket,that it would be stupid to
even think that the gun waslicensed. They do not make a
noise too,silencers are smartly
installed within them People tend
to keep guns with them forvarious reasons,women for
security,men for fun.What they
do not realize is the threat they
pose to themselves when theyhave a gun at hand. Said a
senior officer.
