The sun had set over the city of Kolkata, casting an eerie glow over the streets. In the heart of the city, a group of friends had gathered for a dinner party at the home of Rajesh, a wealthy businessman known for his extravagant lifestyle and love for fine food and wine.

Rajesh had invited a mix of old friends and new acquaintances, all of whom had been carefully selected to make the evening a success. There was Neha, a young and beautiful socialite who was the life of the party; Sanjay, a successful businessman with a sharp wit and an eye for detail; Rhea, a talented artist who had been friends with Rajesh for years; and Rohit, a charismatic and ambitious journalist.

As the night wore on, the guests became increasingly relaxed, chatting and laughing over glasses of wine. Rajesh's staff brought out platters of delicious food, including spicy curries, succulent kebabs, and delicate samosas. The air was filled with the aroma of spices, and the guests ate and drank to their heart's content.

But then, something strange happened. Neha suddenly collapsed, her face turning blue. The other guests were in shock, unable to understand what had happened. They rushed to Neha's side, trying to revive her, but it was too late. Neha was dead.

The police were called, and they arrived on the scene quickly. They began to investigate the circumstances surrounding Neha's death, interviewing the other guests and examining the scene for clues.

As the investigation progressed, the police began to suspect that Neha had been poisoned. They discovered traces of a poisonous substance in her system, which had caused her to die quickly and painfully.

The guests were questioned one by one, but no one seemed to have any idea how Neha had been poisoned. They all claimed to have been chatting and drinking when she collapsed.

But then, Sanjay made a startling confession. He revealed that he had seen someone tampering with Neha's tea just before she had collapsed. Sanjay had been walking by the kitchen and had seen the door slightly ajar. He had peeked inside and saw a shadowy figure, who he could not identify, pouring something into Neha's tea.

Sanjay's revelation sparked a new line of investigation for the police. They began to focus their attention on the tea that had been served at the dinner party, testing it for traces of poison.

Their tests revealed that the tea had indeed been poisoned, and they began to search for the person who had added the poison.

As they dug deeper, the police discovered a web of lies and deceit amongst the guests. Each of them seemed to have something to hide, and each of them had a motive for wanting Neha dead.

Rhea, the artist, was revealed to be in debt and had been struggling to pay her bills. Neha had recently inherited a large sum of money, and Rhea had been jealous of her success. She had made some off-hand comments about Neha's wealth and had even joked about harming her to get her hands on the money.

Rohit, the journalist, had been writing a scathing article about Rajesh's business practices. Neha had overheard him talking about the article and had threatened to expose Rajesh's dealings if he went ahead with it. Rohit had been angry and had made some heated comments about Neha's interference.

Sanjay, the businessman, had been having an affair with Neha. He had been in love with her for years, but she had refused to leave her husband for him. Sanjay had been desperate and had even threatened Neha, saying that he would ruin her reputation if she didn't leave her husband.

And finally, there was Rajesh himself. It was revealed that he had been in financial trouble, and that Neha had been his last hope for saving his business. He had been counting on her to invest in his company, and had even lied to her about the potential returns. When she had refused to invest, he had become desperate and had considered drastic measures.

As the investigation continued, the police pieced together the events of that fateful evening. They discovered that Rajesh had been the one who had poisoned Neha's tea, hoping to silence her and save his business. He had done it discreetly, taking advantage of the chaos and confusion of the dinner party.

Rajesh was arrested and charged with murder. The other guests were cleared of any involvement, and the truth behind Neha's death was finally revealed.

The case had shocked the city of Kolkata, and the guests at Rajesh's dinner party had been left reeling. It was a reminder that even the most charming and successful individuals could have dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. And it was a warning that no one was safe from the dangers of greed and desperation.
