1

Discovery of Omana's body and initial investigation

Omana's body is found on the grounds behind her house, and the initial assessment suggests she jumped from the roof onto the stone pavement. SP Prabhakara Varma leads the inquiry with Circle Inspector Alex and interviews Sunny, Ouseppachan, and others. Sunny admits an argument the previous night and says he did not hit Omana, while Ouseppachan provides a different account of arriving home and discovering her body.

Autopsy results and timing raise suspicions

The Regional Medical Officer rules Omana's death as head trauma with the time of death around 8:00 PM. The finding feels inconsistent with a clean suicide given the circumstances, prompting investigators to probe for possible foul play. The case begins to shift from a simple accident to a potential homicide.

Chacko suspects inconsistencies and notes rainfall

Omana's cousin Constable Chacko points out inconsistencies in testimonies and the autopsy report. He notes that it rained heavily until 9:30 PM, which would have wet the corpse and affected blood evidence if Omana had died at 8:00 PM. He informs Varma of the rainfall timing, prompting deeper scrutiny of the case.

Corruption and rapid dismissal of the initial investigation

Alex is taking bribes from Ouseppachan, and Narayanan uses political influence to push for Varma's removal. Chacko is also sidelined from the case as a new, bribed DYSP Devadas takes over. Devadas quickly concludes the inquiry by declaring Omana's death a suicide, sidelining earlier doubts.

Family seeks justice through the CBI

Thomachan and Annie, with Chacko's help, take the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation. The CBI Director assigns Sethurama Iyer to lead the new investigation, assisted by CI Harry and SI Vikram. A fresh, higher-priority probe begins away from local political interference.

Iyer's team uncovers interference and financial clues

Iyer's team finds clear evidence of political interference, including a surge of calls to Ministers and Party Leaders from Narayanan's number and unreported cash withdrawals from Ouseppachan's bank. The findings point to a coordinated cover-up. They begin cross-checking testimonies against the autopsy and other physical evidence.

Rooftop theory tested with dummies

To test the suicide theory, Iyer's team brings two dummies matching Omana's height and weight to Ouseppachan's house. They drop one straight down and throw the other as if someone had pushed, yet both land in roughly the same spot. The experiment undermines the idea that Omana could have jumped from the roof on her own.

Vasu the driver implicates Narayanan and the cover-up

Investigators locate Vasu, the driver who disappeared after Omana's death. He confesses that Narayanan recruited him to move Omana's body to the roof and fling it off, and that he stole Omana's bracelet while the crime scene was being manipulated. This testimony reveals a key conspiracy among local allies.

Blood evidence narrows the suspect pool to O-negative carriers

Iyer scrutinizes the photos and finds Omana's blood would have bled two hours after death, which contradicts the 8:00 PM timing. A bloodstain on Omana's saree tests O-negative, a rare type in the town. The Malaria Research Centre confirms only three people in town have this blood type, focusing suspicion on Johny, Ouseppachan's son-in-law.

Ouseppachan arrested; Sunny confesses accidental killing

Iyer arrives with a large police presence and arrests Ouseppachan for Omana's murder. Watching his father taken away, Sunny admits he killed Omana accidentally during a domestic altercation; he explains Omana did not die from the initial blow, only fainted.
