Chapter 6

Ashmi was tensed about the interrogation and didnt know what to expect . This was her first time in a police station and Asben couldnt come along since he had his night shift. She wished so much he was there for moral support. She looked around the station and every corner was filled with iron cupboards and files piling on top of them catching dust. She heaved a big sigh of relief and took a deep breath at the same time when her name was called .

The Inspector was a pleasant faced man so that helped calm Ashmi's nerves a little . After all the intial exchange of courtesies, he got down to business.Asked about how she happened to be at the crime scene and if she saw any one suspicious around, any car, any weapon? She was asked more questions for most of it all she did was answer negative. They also enquired about Asben not being present with her in the station, to which she replied and was later relieved from the station.

Immediately after getting out, she called Asben and spoke to him about the conversation and he equired about the victim. If he was still alive. Which hospital is he in? Ashmi made it clear to him that, she wasnt even interested in knowing any of the victim's details. Also that she wouldnt in half her mind think about going back to the station to enquire about him. So, Asben let the topic go!
