Crime Patrol Season 1 Episode 19 A Shot in the Dark

A Shot in the Dark is the 19th episode of the first season of Crime Patrol, an Indian crime anthology TV series. This episode focuses on the murder case of a young girl named Pihu who was found dead in her own house one morning. The crime takes place in a middle-class residential area of Mumbai and leaves the whole community in shock and disbelief.

The episode begins with the police arriving at the crime scene and gathering clues to find out who might have committed the heinous crime. They find Pihu's body lying on the floor in a pool of blood, and it's immediately apparent that she has been shot. The bullet enters through her back and goes out through her stomach. It's a clear indication that the killer wanted her dead, and he didn't hesitate to use a gun to achieve this.

The police start the investigation by questioning Pihu's parents, neighbors, and friends. They try to piece together her last days, hoping to find something that might lead them to the culprit. During the investigation, they discover that Pihu had a secret boyfriend who was a few years older than her, and he was also involved in some criminal activities.

As the investigation progresses, the police find more clues that suggest the killer might be someone close to Pihu and her family. They look into the financial transactions and phone records of her father and find that he had taken out a loan from a loan shark. This loan was never paid back, and the loan shark was getting desperate to get his money back.

The investigation takes a turn when the police find a CCTV footage that shows a man entering Pihu's house on the night of the murder. The man's face is not visible, but he is wearing a hoodie and gloves. The police suspect that this person might be the killer. They try to trace the man's movements using the footage and finally find his identity.

The culprit is someone who is close to Pihu's family, and nobody had suspected him of being involved in the crime. He had always been a helpful person and had even offered his house to Pihu's father when they were in a financial crisis. The police interrogate him and finally get a confession out of him.

It turns out that he had an affair with Pihu's mother and had been blackmailing her for money. When Pihu found out about this, the culprit thought that she might spill the beans and ruin his life. He decided to silence her by shooting her in the back while she was sleeping.

The episode ends with the culprit being arrested and justice being served. It highlights how even the most trusted people can turn out to be the ones we should be wary of and how greed and lust can drive people to commit the most heinous crimes. The show serves as a reminder that we should always be alert and cautious when it comes to the safety of our loved ones.
