"EHSAAS"..Sin can never be Hidden.
Mumbai, Maharashtra
05.2021 - 07.2021

A Pen-drive is discovered by a man. On going through the drive, he finds a video containing the last statements of a renowned model, who committed suicide couple of years back. In her statement, she accused a powerful politician of playing with her heart and then dumping her. He senses a big opportunity to sensationalise it in the media.
Expectedly, the video created a big breaking news item.
Interestingly, this news coincided with the news of the death of the same politician.
Is it just a case of lost and found or coincidence or it’s part of much elaborate plan?
The story unfolds in EHSAAS.
