In May 2025, two people crossed paths at a job interview in Noida — a forensic science student named Amrita Chauhan, and a UPSC aspirant, Ram Kesh Meena. Their connection grew quickly, leading them to move into a small flat in Delhi’s Timarpur within months. It seemed like the beginning of a shared future. But in the early hours of 6 October 2025, a sudden fire broke out inside that flat — a blaze that neighbours first believed was a tragic accident. By the time the flames were brought under control, nothing about the scene made sense anymore. As investigators stepped inside, they found evidence that told a far darker story: signs of struggle, traces of ghee and oil used to fuel the flames, and burn patterns that didn’t match an accidental blast. Surveillance footage and phone records soon revealed movements that raised even more questions — and pointed toward a carefully staged crime. What was happening inside that home in the days leading up to the fire?And what did the digital trail reveal about the relationship that had unravelled behind closed doors? In this episode, we trace the events that transformed a quiet Delhi neighbourhood into the centre of a chilling investigation — a case of trust, fear, digital secrets, and a night that changed everything.
