facilities hain. Agar mujhe yahan ke halaat pata hote toh mai yahan kabhi nahi aati
Shekhar - Maaf kijiyega Mrs Porwal, aapko yahan rehne ke liye koi force nahi kar raha hai. Agar
aapko ye jageh pasand nahi hai toh aap kahin aur jaa sakte hain

pareshaani nahi, agle maheene se hum rent badhayenge

*Shekhar and Inspector exit*
*Mrs.Rose exits to kitchen soon afterwards*

*Mrs.Porwal enters and turns on the radio*

Radio – aaj vigyan par charcha kar rahe hai professor sahib aap hamare srotaon ko yeh bata rahe
the ki daar kaise kam karta hai
Prof- dekhiye dar kaise kamm karta hai yeh samajhne ke liye hame yeh dekhna aur samajhna hoga
ki insaan ka dimag kaise kam karta hai kyu ki dar insaan ke dimag par hi sabse pehle asar dalta hai
jara sochiyeh ki bhayanak toofan mai aap ek kamre me akele baithe hai aur andhera hu chuka hai,
tbhi peeche se ek awaaz aati hai aur aapke kamre ki light band ho jaati hai
[*Blackout* Porwal(scared): ye light kisne band krdi], aapko kisike kadmo ki awaaz sunai deti hai

*Whistling/Tune of Three blind mice with Porwal struggling as someone’s strangling her *

*Mrs.Rose enters*
Mrs.Rose: ye lights kisne band krdi ?

*screams on finding Porwal dead, everyone rushes in. Inspector goes close to the body*

Inspector: She’s dead!

*Blackout*
*Lights on*

Inspector- Mrs. Rose yaad krne ki koshish kijiye

Mrs. Rose(crying) – mujhe kuch bhi ache se yaad nahi hai, mera dimag kaam nhi kar raha

Inspector- Mrs.Porwal ke marte hi aap turant ander aayi thi aap ne kuch to dekha ya suna hoga ?

Mrs. Rose- kamre me bhut sanata tha aur kise ne light band kar de thi

Inspector- zarur yeh khooni ne hi kiya hoga. Aap ko kuch aur yaad hai jo aap btana chahti hai ?
Mrs. Rose- ha maine shayad darwaje khulne ya band hone ki awaj suni thi
Inspector- kaunsa Darwaja
Mrs. Rose- mujhe nahi pata
Inspector- jaror khooni ne apko aate hue sun liya hoga or phir jhatke se kisi darwaze se bhaga
hoga. Mrs. Rose yaad kijeye konsa Darwaja tha wo pass ka koi ya left ka ? Sochiye Mrs.Rose
sochiye

Mrs. Rose - mujhe nahi pata ( chilate hue )

Shekhar- ( chilate hue ) usko aur pareshan karna band karoge, dekh nhi rhe uski haalat

Inspector- Shekhar sahib yaha ekk murder hua hai murder aap logo ne abhi tak meri baat ko serious
nahi liya, na hi Mrs.Porwal ne liya tha. unhone sab kuch chupaya or aaplogo ne bhi sach nhi bataya. ab agar
jald hi humne kuch nahi kiya to agli bari hum me se kisi ki hogi

Shekhar- koi aur bhi? par kyu?

Inspector- kyu ki wo 3 chuhe the
Shekhar- par children welfare society se yaha ka koi connection bhi to hona chahiye
Inspector- wo to hai Mr.Shekhar. Mr.Makhija ki dead body ke pass mile note book mai do address
the. pehla bridge road jaha par ek insaan tha jo mar chuka hai yani ek chuha aur ab yaha Rosewell
guest house me dusra chuha. Aur ab chances zyada hai ki teesra chuha hamare bech mai hi hai

Solanki- yeh possible hi nahi hai ki children welfare society se jude sabhi log by chance ekk hi jagah
maujood ho

Inspector- jis tarah ke halat yaha ban gaye hai, mujhe nhi lagta ki yeh koi coincidence hoga

Zara dekhte hai Mrs.Porwal ke murder ke waqt aap sab log kaha the. Mrs. Rose ne bataya ki vo
kitchen mai thi aur jb vo bahar aayi to lights off thi. unhone lights on ki aur jaise hi unki nazar
Mrs.Porwal par padi vo chillayi.

Mrs. Rose- ha mere chillaane ki awaz sunke baki log anderr aye

Inspector- aur ha phir ap sab log lagbhag alag alag tarf se andar aaye. Mrs.Porwal ke murder se
pehle Shekhar sahab aap apne bedroom mai gaye the telephone check karne. jab Mrs. Rose
chilayi tab aap kaha tha ?

Shekhar- ji mai apne bedroom mai hi tha. dusra telephone bhi dead tha isliye mai wahi khidaki se
dekhne laga kahi phone ka wire kata hua to nahi hai lekin mujhe nahi dikha. phir maine khidaki
band ki tabhi Rose ke chillaane ki awaaz aayi.
Inspector- itna sa kaam karne mai apko zyada samay nahi lag gaya ?

Shekhar - Ha shayad us samay mai kuch sochne laga tha

Inspector- mr Raj aap kaha the

Raj – haklate hue ) pehle mai kitchen mai tha Mrs. Rose ki madad kar raha tha or phir mai bedroom
mai chala gaya

Inspector- kyu

Raj- mera bedroom me akela rehnne ka man tha

Inspector- aap bedroom mai akele rehne gaye the

Raj – ha kangi karne, mera matlb taiyar hone

Inspector- tum kangi kar rahe the

Raj- ha mai kamre mai hi tha

Inspector- Mrs. Rose ki awaaz suni ?

Raj- ha
Inspector- aur tum bhag kar gallery se andar aye ?
Raj- ha

Inspector- kamal ki baat hai... aap aur Shekhar sahib gallery mai takraye nahi ?

Raj - unka karma gallery ke aakri mai padta hai mai bhag kar unse pehle aa gaya honga
Inspector- pehle ya baad mai ?

Raj- thik se yaad nahi

Inspector- vishambhar sahib aap kaha the ?

Vishambhar -maine bataya aapko, mai drawing room mai piano baja raha tha
Inspector- kise ne aapko piano bajate hue suna ?

Vishambhar - mujhe nih lagta... mai bhut aaram se baja raha tha

Mrs. Rose- tum 3 mice tune baja rahe the

Vishambhar- ha yeh tune hi aise hai asaani se dimag se jati nahi

Mrs. Rose- mujhe to yeh tune hi manhoos lagti hai

Vishambhar – ha par koi seeti bhi baja raha tha 3 blind mice ki
Inspector- seeti kaha ?

Vishambhar - pata nhi, shyd iss hall mai ya gallery mai kuch keh nhi sakta

Inspector- 3 blind mice ke seeti kon baja skta hai ? Vishambhar sahab aap jhoot to nahi bol rahe ?

Vishambhar - ji nahi
Inspector - theek hai aap aage bataiye... aap drawing room mai piano baja rahe the

Vishambhar - aur phir maine radio ke awaz suni or uske kuch hi der baad Mrs. Rose ki
cheekh sunai di

Inspector- Shekhar sahab apne room par, mr Raj apne room par, vishambhar sahab drawing
room me piano baja rahe the... Solanki sahab aap kaha the ?

Solanki- mai library mai letter likh raha tha

Inspector- aapne kuch suna yaha kya ho raha tha ?

Solanki- nahi Mrs. Rose ke chillaane se pehle maine kuch nahi suna tha

Inspector- uske baad ?

Solanki- mai yaha aaya
Inspector- turant
Solanki- shayad

Inspector- aap library mai letter likh rahe the or aap bhag kar andar aye par library mai to koi adura
letter nahi hai

Solanki- kyuki wo mere pass hai inspector

*Solanki takes out a letter and hands it to the Inspector who starts reading it*

Inspector - dear vishal ... kya ye aapke dost ya rishtedaar hai ?

Solanki – it’s none of your business inspector
Inspector - shayad nahi, lekin agar mai library mai baith kar letter likh raha hota aur mujhe kisi ke cheekhne
ki awaz sunayi deti to mujhe nahi lagta ki mai pehle letter ko fold karta, jeb mai dalta aur phir dekhne aata
Solanki- acha interesting

Inspector - major sahab aapne bataya ki aap basement mai the. kya mai jan sakta hu aap wha kya
kar rahe the ?

Major- mai bas vaha ghoom raha tha. maine kitchen ke side mai ekk chota sa Darwaja dekha jo
basement ka tha mai vha se ho kar seedha neeche chala gaya. . v aise (mrs Mrs. Rose ko dekte hue
) aapka basement kafi acha hai

Mrs. Rose- ji sukriya

Inspector- aap thoda serious honge

Mrs. Rose ne bataya ki unhone darwaza band hone ki awaz suni aur basement ka darwaaja awaz
karta hai. Aisa ho sakta hai ki khoni ne Mrs.Porwal ko maarne ke baad Mrs. Rose ki awaaz suni
aur wo usi darwaje se bhaga
Major- hone ko to bahut kuch ho sakta hai

Inspector- To ab hame yeh dekhna hai ki kiske pass khoon karne ki wajah or mauka dono tha aur rahi baat

khoon karne k mauke ki to wo to sabhi ke pass tha

Shkehar – ye kya keh rahe hai aap? app aisa kaise bol sakte hai ?

Inspector - aisa isliye kyunki murder ke samay aap sabhi akele the

Shekhar- lekin aap sab par shak kaise kar sakte hai ?
Inspector- yaha ek murder hua hai !! sab par shak kiya ja sakta hai

Shekhar (angrily)- dekhiye Inspector, ye aap bhi jaante hai ki bridge road par Mr.Makhija ko jisne
maara vo unhi bachon mai se ek hai jo ab bada ho chuka hai aur abnormally behave krta hai aur
hum sab jaante hai ki yha aisa ek hi ladka hai ( points to Raj )

Raj-ye sab galat h! aisa kuch nhi h aap sab mere khilaaf h, aap sab mere pe hi shaq kar rhe h. Maine
kisika khoon nhi kiya, aap sb log mile hue hai...
Mrs. Rose(interrupts and consoles Raj)-Raj shaant ho jao, koi tumhe kuch nhi krega
Raj- Mrs. Rose aap to janti hi h mene kuch nhi kiya
Mrs. Rose- Raj.. Raj!
Mrs. Rose-sab thik h, koi tumhare against nhi h Inspector isko bataiye ki aap isko arrest nhi krenge
na
Inspector-filhaal to mai kisiko arrest nhi krunga uske liye mujhe aur bhi shaboot chahiye
Shekhar-tumhe ho kya gya h Mrs. Rose, tum ise bachana kyu chahti ho ?
Shekhar-aur aap (towards inspector) ? hum sab jante h ki is ghar me ek hi insaan h jo khooni se
poori tarah mel khata h. aapko ise turant arrest krna chahiye
Mrs. Rose-Shekhar tumhe kya ho gya h
Mrs. Rose-Inspector kya mai aapse akele baat kar skti hun
Inspector-aap sab log dining room me chale jaye
 *Everyone exits except Inspector, Mrs. Rose and Shekhar*
Shekhar-mai yahi hun
Mrs. Rose-nhi Shekhar jao tum bhi
Shekhar-mene kaha na Mrs. Rose mai yahi hun tum aisa kyu kar rhi ho
Mrs. Rose-Shekhar please
*Shekhar exits*
Inspector-to mrs Mrs. Rose baat kya h
Mrs. Rose-Inspector sahib aap mante h ki khooni un do bachcho me se ek h par aapko poori tarah
se yakeen nhi hai, hai na ?
Inspector-sach btau to mujhe kisi cheez par yakeen nhi h. hume bas itna pta h ki CWS case me
giraftaar Mr.Makhija mar chuke h aur Mrs.Porwal jo investigation ki head thi maari ja chuki h aur
phone ka taar bhi kaata gya h
Mrs. Rose-par taar to baarish ki wajah se bhi toot skta h
Inspector-Mrs. Rose taar kata gya h frontdoor ke saamne se jaanboojh ke
Mrs. Rose-kyaaa
Inspector- Mrs. Rose, please sit
Inspector-bas ek sambhawna h, mentally abnormal.... ajeeb harkate... army se bhaag jana... bas ek
sambhawna h
Mrs. Rose-mai samajh rhi hun aap kya keh rhe h aapka shaq Raj par h. par aisa nhi h koi aur bhi ho
skta h
Inspector-jaise ki?
Mrs. Rose-aisa bhi to ho skta h ki koi insaan use juda hua rha ho aur adaalat ki karwahi se
sambhandit na ho
Inspector-ho skta h
Mrs. Rose-achcha ye btaiye us doosre bachche ko god lene wale shaqs ko aap kya kahenge ? ho
skta h ye wahi aadmi ho jisne us ghanta se dukhi hokar us bachche ko god liya ho
Inspector-ho skta h lekin adopt krne wale us shaqs ko dhoondna bahut mushkil h
Mrs. Rose-mtlb aapko nhi pta wo is waqt kaha hoga. zara sochiye us shaqs ko roz wo bachcha
aag me jalte bachcho ke dardnak hadse ko btata rha hoga aur ye sunte sunte usne ek din case se
jude laparwah logo ko saza dene ki than li
Inspector-ye sirf ek kahani h
Mrs. Rose-par aisa ho skta h
Inspector-kayi sambhawnao me se ye ek sambhawna bhi ho skti
Mrs. Rose-agar aisa h to khooni umra me bada mtlb booda bhi ho skta h
Mrs. Rose-aur han jab maine police ke phone ka zikr kiya tha tab major kafi pareshan ho gye the
darr gye th
Inspector-major?!
Mrs. Rose-ek booda retired sainik jo ghoonegar ko badalne se jyada use khatam krna jyada zaroori
samjhta h
Inspector-han ye soch unki baato me bhi jhalakti h

Mrs. Rose-iska mtlb Raj akela suspect nhi h major bhi h

Inspector-koi aur suggestion ?

Mrs. Rose- haan jab maine pehli baar btaya tha ki police aane wali h tab vishambhar sahab bhi
gabra gye the
Mrs. Rose-dikhne me jitni umra ke lgte h na wo use kai jyada ke h wo apni chalne ke andaaz se
apni age ko chupate h kabhi kabhi to lgta h unhone apna chehra bhi badal rakha h
Inspector-aap ye sari baate isliye kar rhi hai taki mai Raj par shaq na karu
Mrs. Rose-vo kitna kamzor h aur pareshan bhi
Inspector-aapki kahani ke anoosar god lene wala shaqs aadmi ke bajaye aurat bhi ho skti h to ye
bhi ho skta h ki khoon kisi aurat ne kiya ho
Mrs. Rose-aap mujhpe shaq kar rhe h
Inspector-chehra muffler se dhaka hua, raincoat aur sar pe badi topi, aap kyu nhi ho skti?
Mrs. Rose-mai! mai kyu kisika khoon krungi ?
Inspector- aap apne husband ke baare me kya kahengi
Mrs. Rose- Shekhar .. kya bakwas h ye
Inspector-bakwas nhi sambhawna h. aap apne husband ke baare me kitna jaanti h
Mrs. Rose-wo mera husband h

Inspector-aapki shaadi ko kitna samay hua hai?

Mrs. Rose- ek saal

Inspector-aap dono kaha mile tha ?
Mrs. Rose-shimla me ek party me
Inspector-aur uske ghar wale ?
Mrs. Rose-uske gharwale nhi h wo anaath h
Inspector-aise shaqs ko anaath bachcho se jyada sympathy ho skti h
Mrs. Rose-kya bakwaas kar rhe h Inspector mai usko achhchi tarah janti hun
Inspector-aap kuch nhi janti hai! aapko unke baare me kuch nhi pta. aap bas wahi janti h jo
unhone aapko btaya. Iss baat ki kya guarantee hai ki unka koi criminal background nhi ?
Mrs. Rose-ye sach nhi h
Inspector-achcha ye btaiye jab bridgeroad par khoon hua us waqt aapke pati kaha the ?
Mrs. Rose-wo phone ka bill bharne aur diesel lene gye the
Inspector-kab laute?
Mrs. Rose-der shaam ko
Inspector-Mrs. Rose mujhe aur kuch kehne hi zaroorat nhi h
Mrs. Rose-Inspector aapko kuch galat fehmi hui h unhone mujhe btaya ki phone ka bill bharne me
time lag gya aisa aksar hota rehta h
Inspector-maine kaha na mujhe aur kuch kehne ki zaroorat nhi h ye raincoat aapke husband ka hi h

Inspector – ek minute rukiye, solanki sahab

Solanki – aapne mujhse kaha?
Inspector – ha, aap hamari baatein bade gaur se sun rhe the
Solanki – to usse kya saabit hota hai?
Inspector – mujhe aapse bhi kuch puchna hai? aap yha kisliye aaye hai?
Solanki – mujhe shaant jagah jaana achcha lagta hai
Inspector – aur aap yha kitne din rukne vale hai?
Solanki – jab tak ki mera kaam na ho jaaye
Inspector – kaisa kaam ?
Solanki – sorry inspector, ye bohot hi private baat hai
Inspector – aapko yaha kitne log jaante hai ?
Solanki – mera koi dost nhi hai yaha par
Inspector – Solanki sahab, aapko samajh paana bohot hi mushkil hai
Solanki – kya fark padta hai ?
Inspector – aap bohot kuch chupa rahe hai
Solanki – aapke liye jo zaruri hai vo mai bata raha hu
Inspector – to fir aap kyu nhi bata rahe ki aakhir me vo kaunsa kaam hai jiske liye aap yaha aaye
hai?
Solanki (angrily) – Inspector sahab, aap saabit kya karna chahte hai? shayad achcha hota agar mai
kabhi yaha aaya hi na hota
Inspector – aap mere sawalon ke jawab dene ke bajaye keval baaton ko ghuma rahe hai, aap khud
ko bohot smart samajhte hai lekin ye mat bhuliye ki police ke pass aur bhi tareekein hote hai
Solanki – aapka matlab third degree se hai ? aap mujhpar third degree istemaal karoge ? kya
karenge aap? Mujhpar haath uthayenge, mere naakhun ukhaadenge ya fir peechwade par belt
maarenge
Inspector – aap fir mere sawalon ko ghuma rahe hai. mai kuch sawalon ka jawab dhundhna chahta
hu Solanki sahab
*Raj enters*
Raj – maine suna hai police logo ko third degree nahi de skti hai, tum bas sabko pareshaan kar rahe
ho
*Raj offers water to Solanki*
Raj – aap theek hai?
Solanki (scared) – I’m alright, mai apne kamre me jaa rha hu. (towards Inspector) aur koi zarurat ho
to bula lena
*Solanki exits*
Inspector – yakeen nahi hota
Raj – aisa lagta hai tumne bhoot dekh liya hai?
Inspector – nahi par maine aisa kuch dekh liya jo mujhe pehle hi dekhna chahiye tha
Raj – matlab police ko suraag mil gya ?
Inspector – ha Raj, sabko yaha bula kar lao abhi

Major – Mind your language, inspector
Rose – chaabi mil gayi inspector ?
Inspector – nahi par muhe pata chal gaya ki kaun le gaya? Filhaal mai isse zyada aur kuch nahi bata
skta
Vishambhar – bilkul. Kuch bhi batane se pehle aapko agle murder tak rukna chahiye
Inspector – ye koi khel nhi hai
Raj – ye khel hi hai inspector, ye sab kisi ke liye mehez khel hi hai.

Vishambhar – Aap hi ne toh kaha tha ki khooni ko ismein bohot maza aa raha hai.
Inspector – Aap sab log dhyaan se suniye, Mrs.Porwal ke marne par maine sab se puchtachh ki thi,
sabke statement liye the ki murder ke samay kaun kahan maujood tha. Aap logon ne bataya Mrs.
Rose kitchen mein, Shekhar saahab aur mister Raj apne apne bedroom mein, Solanki saahab library
mein letter likh rahe the, Vishambhar saahab drawing room mein piano baja rahe the, Major aap
basement mein the?
Major – Haan sahi hai.
Inspector – Aap logon ne ye saari baatein mujhe batayi, aur aap logon mein se 5 log sach bol rahe
hain aur ek jhooth… jo jhooth bol raha hai wahi khooni hai.
Solanki – Zaroori nahi hai, dusre kaaran bhi ho sakte hain.
Inspector – Par mujhe vishwas hai.
Shekhar – Lekin aap ye kaise pata karenge?
Inspector – Usi situation ko dohra kar.
Vishambhar – Wahi purana tareeka, “Reconstruction of the crime”. Ye tareeka kitna ajeeb hai, aur
aapko isse kya pata chalega?
Inspector – Mai ye abhi nahi bata sakta. Ab yahi rasta bacha hai.
Shekhar – Matlab hum log sab kuch repeat karein?
Inspector – Ji Shekhar saahab, mai chahta hoon aap sabhi log wahi kaam karein jo isse pehle aap
logon ne kiya tha.
Raj – Ye bakwas hai, pata nahin isse aapko kya haasil hoga.
Inspector – Accha.
Rose – Mere paas time nahin hai, mujhe kitchen mein kaam hai.
Inspector – Koi kahin nahi jayega, aap sabko dekhkar lagta hai ki aap sabhi doshi hai.
Shekhar – mujhe nahin lagta ki aisa karne mein koi nuksaan hai. Hum aisa kar sakte hain. Hain na
Rose?
Rose- Haan theek hai.
Shekhar – Mr. Raj, Solanki sahab aap?
Solanki – Haan.
Shekhar – Aur aap Major sahab?
Major – Haan.
Shekhar – Aur aap Vishambhar saahab?
Vishambhar – Haan mai bhi.
Shekhar – Toh hum sab ko wahi karna hoga jo hum sab pehle kar rahe the, jis waqt Mrs.Porwal ka
khoon hua tha.
Inspector – Haan, sab kuch wese hi.
Vishambhar – Mai jaakar khooni ki signature wali tune bajata hoon.
Inspector – 1 minute rukiye Vishambhar Saahab.
*Inspector Rose ki taraf ishaara karte hue*
Inspector – aap piano baja sakti hain?
Rose – Haan.
Inspector – “Three Blind Mice” ki dhun aati hai?
Rose – Haan aati hai.
Inspector – Badhiya, toh aap drawing room mein jaakar “Three Blind Mice” ki dhun bajaengi jaise
Vishambhar saahab baja rahe the, sabke jaane ke baad 20 tak ginne ke baad shuru kijiyega.
Vishambhar – Par mujhe laga tha ki hum sab wahi karenge jo humne pehle kiya tha.
Inspector – Jaroori nahi hum sab log wahi kaam repeat karein.
Shekhar – Mujhe aisa karne ka kaaran samajh nahi aa raha.
Inspector – Kaaran hai, mujhe sabke statements check karne hain, isse mujhe us ek shaks ka pata
chal jayega jo jhooth bol raha hai. Ab aap sab log dhaayn se suno, mai aapko bataunga ki kisko
kahan jaana hai. Mr Raj aap kitchen mein jaiye, Solanki saahab Mr Raj ke bedroom mein,
Vishambhar saahab aap Major sahab ki jagah lenge aap basement mein jayenge, Mrs. Rose maine
jo bhi aapko abhi bataya aap wahi karengi. Major saahab aap Shekhar saahab ke bedroom mein
jaakar telephone check karenge aur Shakhar saahab Solanki saahab ki jagah library mein jaakar
letter likhenge.
Major – Aur aap kya karenge inspector?
Inspector – Mai Mrs.Porwal ki jagah loonga.
Major – Tab toh tumhe sambhal kar rehna hoga, iss tarah se toh kuch bhi ho sakta hai.
Inspector – Mai ek police wala hoon, aapko chinta karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, bas aap log usi
tarah se wahi kaam karenge jo aap pehle kar rahe the. Jab tak main na bolun aap wahi kaam karte
rehenge. Theek?

Inspector – Aapko bhi toh pata hai?
Rose – Mujhe pata hai?
Inspector – Aap police walon ko bewakoof samajhti hain?
Rose – Aap kya keh rahe ho mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha.

ki Mrs. Porwal uss commission ki head thi jinhone uske paper banaye the, aapko sab kuch pehle se
hi pata tha. Phir bhi aap chup rahin…
