Eating (Vampire!Kid x F!Reader, 18+)

Author’s Note: Thank you for your patience. I am back. RIP to that one fic I wrote in 2020 and LOST in the depths of my laptop, you had fisting and dubcon and whatnot. This doesn’t have that, but is a lot better written. YN has very American dialogue here. Editing by @youlooklike-clarabow

It wasn’t right to call this feeling bloodlust. Was it freedom? 

He’d just beaten a mortal to death with a heeled shoe, and, in the morning, the people would think that Baba Shakti had been mauled to death by a tiger. 

He’d drained that man of his life force, the evidence soaked Kid so thoroughly, he felt it down to his socks with each step he took. 

Now, all he wanted was you. 

From the first day he’d met you, he’d allowed you to become a constant. He met Lucky first, your little brother, and Lucky had brought him right to you. 

What a gift that Lucky had given so freely, he’d have to thank the boy when he saw him next. 

He knows exactly where you are too. 

You’re stumbling home after a harrowing shift at the bar. It’s Diwali, so of course your work was a little…intense. 

You couldn’t fault the people for enjoying the holiday, but Christ that was a lot of work. 

And here he was again! 

“Funny how that all works,” you think.

He’s playing it off as if he wasn’t waiting up for you, on the steps of your apartment building. 

Maybe it was that half-drink you’d had earlier, maybe it was that costume he’s wearing, a black suit, covered in blood. 

The blood had dried, but the tears hadn’t. 

Maybe it was that half-drink you’d had earlier, but you could hardly look at him, only holding out your hand to take his arm, tightly, up to your place. 

On a good day, it’s hard to look at him - and truly see him - fully. It was like staring into the sun. Here, in the dark, maybe you’d scrape by. He’s vibrant, even now 

His socks were making a squishing sound with each step. 

You unlock your door, and deposit him to lean against a counter, and calmly walk to your kitchenette for some towels, wetting them under your faucet. 

It wasn’t your business. 

Maybe he’d just been at Tiger’s, Maybe it had been another fight. You’d helped him after those before…

“It’s okay,” you tell him, “just wait.” He droops a little, hopefully relaxing. You’d like him to be comfortable here, with you. 

You take a long step and pull out a stray garbage bag from a drawer, waving it around to open in, and gesturing to him. 

It was safe to say the suit he wore was ruined. And if that blood was real, and didn’t belong to him, it could open up a whole world of trouble. 

Your mind races with a thousand different possibilities and outcomes, what you were liable for, what charges he could be brought up on. 

He only stares at you with an expression you can’t place, and unbuttons his shirt. 

And your thought process evaporates. 

When Lucky had helped him to your apartment after fights at Tiger’s Temple, you’d seen his bare chest before. He was a tall man, and thin to match. His chest was broad, smooth, as ever, but you couldn’t see his ribs anymore. 

When he’d come to you for help before, he’d been something of a stray dog, wandering in the streets, begging for any scrap one could spare. 

And you had fed him before, but you wouldn’t need to now. 

You knew from your little brother that Kid hadn’t been around. Rumors swirled in your little community, but nothing was concrete. He’d been gone, out of town. Eating. 

Blood dried on the breathtaking torso of someone who’d been eating. 

A little spark of jealousy starts to burn in the front of your skull. 

“Had a good vacation?”” You scoff at him. His large brown eyes darken, only slightly. He says nothing. 

Heat rushes to your face as he steps forward, dropping his shirt into the empty garbage bag. 

You want him close, as usual. 

He never takes a half-step more, just to kiss you, be near you. It doesn’t feel as cold as it usually does. It feels like he’s playing with you. 

Kid smiles a little, to himself, taking the wet towel off the side of the sink, running it down his reddened neck. 

You frown. He’ll have to scrub. 

You grab another towel, and begin to do just that. 

He doesn’t make a sound as you dampen your towel under the sink  and step around towards his broad back. 

“This isn't gonna work. You’ll have to shower.” Your voice sounds a little hoarse. It had to be some kind of condition, or spell he’d fallen under. 

He seemed flushed, a little more alive. 

When you first met him, you noticed large, glossy brown eyes first, but seeing the rest of him makes the awareness of being close to him all the  worse, even standing behind his back. 

His thick,curly hair reached out, practically begging someone to put their hands in it. The skin of his shoulders is always warm, just like the rest of him. 

You’d sat next to him, on your couch in your apartment. Being aware of his body heat was obvious, but it felt heightened tonight. Did he run warm? Or did you just notice it because it’s him? 

You knew the answer, but the air was so thick in your room, it seemed to soften any hard thought you were trying to wrap your head around. 

The rag in your hand was spent, so you threw it into the trash bag, and you tap his spine, 

“Go shower.” You command, and he obeys you, removing his shoes and putting them in the bag after. 

He looks around, spell broken, only to feel lightly proud that he’d only left a thumbprint on your counter. 

In the shower, he wishes you were still next to him still, in the water . . . helping. You were so eager to be kind, why? Especially to the likes of him. 

He watches the faint traces of red and pink rinse from his skin, to circle the drain. 

It was all he could do not to step out of the shower and put his face in your neck. 

He’d never indulged so freely in someone’s blood before, and he’d never imagined that his first real taste would be from the man who ruined everything, and harmed so many. 

And he’d come right to you, thinking he’d been sated, but he just wanted more. 

He’d never hurt you, he’d die before he hurt you. 

Kid lets some water fall into his mouth, and spits it out between his feet. 

There had been a time, when he was younger, where he’d known a street performer who’d played a cello. It was a large, cumbersome instrument, but the performer had made it seem light, elegant. 

The vibration of the strings had stayed with him, humming inside his head whenever he’d gotten hungry. 

And now, wet, in the shower, he felt absolutely starved. 

No. Get a grip. 

He needed to pick something else to focus on, not the tantalizing hymn coming from your throat. 

Your apartment! 

He’d been in your apartment before, of course, but he felt he’d never gotten the chance to appreciate it. 

Your bathroom was old, but clean. Faded white tile, and one singular bottle of shampoo and conditioner on the counter in front of a small, circular mirror. 

He already knew that you had made a friend who sold soap to tourists, he recognized the cut of the bar in a little dish to the side. 

He shouldn’t snoop. 

One lone towel is hanging by the shower, and he takes it, dressing in large gray sweats that you’d picked for him. 

He doesn't like that you have men’s sweats, but he doesn’t have a right to not like it, when he benefits from it. 

He gasps a little as he opens the door back to the rest of your studio. 

Warm. 

When he first knocked on your door, he hadn’t noticed the few candles you’d had burning. He didn’t realize you’d be perched on the armrest of your old couch. He’d helped you carry it in, hadn’t he? He thought the color of it suited you, just as he does now. 

“How was your shower?” You ask, voice soft. You don’t betray the fact that your mouth is watering. 

He’d showered, obviously, but the steam coming off his skin didn’t help the knot of feelings, tightening in your stomach. 

Ugh, fucking feelings. They’d never done anything but betrayed you, why would this time be any different ? 

“Um…good.” He replies, just as soft, taking long, even strides to meet you on the couch, and sit on the other side. 

There’s a golden cast of light on your skin, and he knows he has some fundamental truths he needs to face. 

The first being, that he had died with his Mother that night, and came back as well…this. Whatever it was. 

The second was, he’d just torn the nation's religious leader limb from limb. It would look like a wild animal, but if that stupid penthouse had cameras, they’d know it was him. 

The last was, he desperately wanted you. Whatever you’d be willing to give, he’d devour greedily. It was time to do something about it. 

“You haven’t asked me what happened.” He states, almost groaning as he felt the couch lean from your weight. 

“I don’t want to know.” 

Kid exhales a sigh of relief. 

“I do wish you’d stop putting yourself in danger.” 

He blinks at that.

“You gotta stop showing up covered in blood.” 

“Should I show up with flowers? Would you like that?” 

“Depends on the flowers.” 

He leans in, the warmth of his body making your head start to swim, “I’m serious. What the fuck happened tonight?”

“Things have changed. I’ve changed them. It’s going to be better now.” 

You cross your arms. 

“You know I’d never let anything happen to you. No one follows me when I come here.” His round eyes seem to burn in the half-light. 

“If things have changed…does that mean I can kiss you?” the words fell out of your mouth easily, but you wince as they make their impact. The energy that was humming in your ears drops, leaving you in silence. 

Waiting for a response, simple. 

His mouth is on yours in an instant, your head spinning, taken by the impact. 

His hands find your hips, and you’re placed securely into his lap. How, in all this time, had you never felt his hands before? All of those times he’d come to you for help after a fight, and he’d kept his lovely hands to himself. 

You couldn’t allow that anymore! 

You take his wrists in your hands to move his warm, wide palms. You push yourself into his hands because you want to, you want him

His hardness grows steadily underneath you, as he lets you rub yourself against him, allowing himself to get lost, soaking you into himself. He simply had to be yours. 

You were a softness he’d wrap himself in, an extra layer to keep him warm through the winter (A/N: FROM A CHALLENGERS FIC). 

You feel his hands wander to your shoulders, pulling your mouth away from his with a slight pop. 

“You know I’m different.” It wasn’t a question. 

All those fights, all those blows to the head that should have killed him, and he’d simply walked away. Of course you knew.

“Are you trying to scare me?” You asked, earnest. You had nerves, of course you did, but it wouldn’t break through. 

“No! Never. I’m just trying to be honest.” 

You giggle. Your hands cup his face, and you smile at how he relaxes into your grip. 

“I think I’m just curious… How long have you been . . . different?” You questioned, taking his chin between your thumb and forefinger.  

“Long enough to know what I’m doing?” 

“So you won’t kill me.” 

“I think Lucky would kill me first. You can send me away if you like. I won’t be back again.” 

“I’m not saying no, I just want to see.”

He blinks at you. 

You trail off, “May I see?” 

“...Sure.” 

 You put your hands on either side of his face, dark beard soft, he lets you pull u a pink lip, revealing white teeth, one long canine tooth, flat, thin, sharp. There’s another one on the other side. Like a predator, like a beast you’d find in the wild. 

Yeah, he’s exactly what he says he is. Different. 

“Good?” He asks, neutral.

“Yeah, I’m good.” 

The air in your room is cool , his eyes wide and wet.  

Is this what all creatures are like? 

You almost ask, but fall into his mouth instead. 

“Still curious?” 

“Ask me tomorrow.” 

Tomorrow. He likes the sound of that. Has he ever had anyone want to stay until tomorrow? He couldn’t remember when. How strange, to be alive as long as he had, and never been more than a kink, someone dipping a toe into the dark, as if he hadn’t had to make a life here. 

That was by design, he thought. Wasn’t he supposed to be the greatest predator and killer of all time? Ha!

Maybe he’s comfortable right here. Maybe the Devil’s perfect predator yearns for a collar and a leash. 

What a magnificent leash it would be. 

Your back arched against him, you gasp, grinding him. You receive a soft peck against your lips, and the most gentle smile. 

Your eyelids flutter close, and he makes himself comfortable against you. 

Kid makes a trail between your mouth and the most delicate column of your throat, licking and sucking. You allow him to pull off your shirt, before lowering you back into the worn out couch.  You shiver, in spite of the heat coursing through your veins. 

He leans over you, tracing his nose against your jaw, inhaling. 

“You’re beautiful, you know,” he hums against your ear, the cello strings getting louder and louder in his head. 

Putting a hand between your legs, he smiles into your neck. You push yourself against the heel of his palm, enjoying the sparks against your clit. 

Your pulse feels too correct under his mouth, and he throbs for it. What a lovely thing, to be able to have your neck between his teeth. 

He lies between your legs, comfortably, like he’d been laying with you for years. 

He smiles to himself as he feels your wetness against his hand, his mouth wandering over every piece of flesh you had exposed. You gasp as his mouth catches a nipple, tugging it, making you squirm. 

He lets you put your hands in his damp hair, his fangs lightly piercing the underside of your breast, red droplets against the softness of your skin for him to lap up. 

You whine at the faint pain, but he knows better. The hand between your legs knew better, your pathetic hole fluttering against him. 

You were everything. 

What a pretty picture you made, wide eyes, a warm, soft mouth, comfortably underneath him like you were meant to be here. How could you make the picture of someone so docile, fuckable, like he didn’t owe you absolutely everything? 

To your dismay, he pulls his hand back, and brings it up to his mouth. Your eyes snap open as Kid is struck with a full body shudder. The red against his hand seems to burn into him. 

It can’t be true. It’s too perfect, he thinks to himself. You watch him pant, chills down your spine. 

“...are you…bleeding?” He asked, rasping into your mouth, 

You couldn’t do too much, only nod. 

He’d had you too intoxicated, you’d gone and forgotten about your period.

A heartbeat passes. Maybe two.  

“I need to eat now. May I?” He asks, polite, but his face betrays him. 

“Yes.” 

In a blink, he’s upon you. Head between your legs, sucking at your bloody heat like he’d been made to do it. And he had, you supposed. 

Your back bows as he smoothly works a  finger into you, your own blood and slick guiding him in. 

Kid slurps, a filthy sound that nearly made you jump off the couch. 

An unfamiliar fog descends over your mind as you let him take what he wants. You're nobody’s fool, except his. 

You faintly feel his hands dig into your ass with an unrecognizable strength. You know he’d let you go if you asked, but his brute strength against yours is nothing short of exhilarating. 

Is this what it would take to keep him? Blood? You had that! You could always make more too. 

Your back arches, trying to get closer to his face, the sharpness of his nose breathtaking against your core. 

Your heart pounds in your head as he drinks from you, ears ringing. If you were a little more coherent, you’d be impressed with him, scraping his fingers mercilessly against your front wall, trying to drain any last drop you had to give. He’s taking what he wants. 

Whatever had happened earlier in the night, whatever put light behind his eyes, you thank every star.

He frantically scissors his fingers into you, lapping and sucking up everything he earned, bringing you closer and closer. 

He lavishes every mark made on you with his tongue, savoring the taste. 

You pout, and he holds you while your shaking and shivering dies down. 

“Will you forget about everyone else?” He asks, low in the dark.  

You blink at him, as if he were speaking another language. 

“What?” 

There was nobody else. No other ‘lovers’ in the past decade that could match what the two of you had just done. 

You feel something twitch against your thigh, in spite of your tiredness, you stick out your lower lip. He stares at it, eyes glittering. 

“You-” You puff, all those pesky feelings rushing straight to your head, “You’re holding back!” 

“And you're about to be anemic if we aren’t careful.” 

You can’t say much to that, so you let out a low, pitiful whine.

“You're going to rest, and you’re going to like it.” 

“Only if you stay put,” you blink. He smiles, mouth wet and red. 

You turn on the couch, pressing against his thin form, wiggling against him, making yourself comfortable. He lets you take his hand in your own, blood is already drying when you take two of his long, elegant fingers, and put them in your mouth. You sigh, satisfied. He does too. 

All will be well, because it’s him. You’ll do anything to keep him.

The wait is over...

Shree Ram is coming home...

500 years of oppression, suppression, struggle, agitation, tears, mourning, resilience, and most importantly, hope and faith.

I've only seen about 35 years of it, but I've seen enough to know how important this day is for us Hindus. Here's why my mutuals are seeing this on their dash.

Today, Shree Ram, who's the 7th Avatar of our God Vishnu, will finally return to his birthplace in the ancient city of Ayodhya--the place where the original temple dedicated to him had stood for millennia. That temple had been demolished and desecrated on command of an Islamic invader called Babar in 1528, and a mosque was built atop its ruins. Hence the 500 year struggle to reclaim it, which reached a critical point when the mosque was finally demolished in 1992.

The process to reclaim this sacred place and rebuild the temple was no walk in the park. The issue went up to the Supreme Court of India, the highest court in the country, and finally, after the favourable verdict, the construction of the temple started in May 2020.

Today, Shree Ram Chandra, the righteous, just and kind king who ruled Ayodhya thousands of years ago, returns home. It's not just an event of religious importance, it's a day of civilizational and cultural importance.

We're reclaiming our heritage.

Jai Shree Ram!

Happy Dwitiya Diwali!

Sweet Beginnings Tag

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

I was tagged by @applesaucesims and @yellowsocialbunny.

Okay, so this isn't one of my first screenshots. Most of the old ones have either been deleted, or I no longer have the Sims in my save. But I did make this "Holidays Across the Decades" lookbook almost two years ago, and since then a few more pieces of CC have been created or updated.

1810s: Caroline's gloves and shoes by @peebsplays. (Keep a look out for an update to the dress).

1900s: Nellie's dress by myself.

2020s: Diwali outfit by myself. (This was originally not associated with any character, but I put it on the 2023 Girl of the Year, Kavi).

By including Nellie and Kavi, I was at a number that didn't divide evenly. To make the rows even I added Nicki in something similar to her NYE outfit.

Not going to tag anyone in particular, but please play along if you'd like!

Sam for People Magazine...

And remember when, out of the blue, Sam and Caitriona decided they were celebrating Diwali?! ... November 2020... And Sam showed up in London a week after these posts... to film scenes for Love Again...

😏😜

[freezegirl]

welcome to tessa is gonna say a thing and if you need to unfollow and/or block, by all means, curate your space and protect your peace but if i don't speak on this, i know i'm gonna carry this around and i don't want to do that because i want to have fun on this website first and foremost so here it goes:

on one hand: it's a website and none of these characters are real. at the end of the day, it's not that deep. one day, this website will be out of the air and only accessible through the way-back-machine.

on the other hand: to each their own and far be it from me to tell people how to write their characters, but i can't deny that i've been seeing a couple of (mixed race) indian characters around with similar story beats i.e. they're not really as immersed in the culture / the faith / the heritage. which is fine, there are people irl who aren't, either, i'm sure.

but on the other other hand: the message you're inadvertendly sending with certain character / development choices is real.

to me, it feels like convenience. like we're not worth the research, the energy. to me, it feels like you want the face claim but not the story.

we're worth more than just a cursory glance because we are more than chicken tikka masala and bollywood movies and so we are worth more than the label "is disconnected from and doesn't engage with the culture / heritage / background" and calling it a day.

now i am not saying every indian character on this site needs to be written as pious and going to the temple every sunday and has to be into celebrating diwali, holi phagwa, pongal and/or puthandu.

but i am saying that i did not get bullied, mocked and ridiculed for every aspect of the culture i was born and raised in - i did not spend most, if not all, of my teenage years and even some of my young adulthood years hating myself for being indian and surinamese only to claw my way back to loving myself and being proud of being of indian and surinamese - for people on tumblr to take the easy way out when they write indian characters.

i say this because i am also of mixed race descent and while no one's experience is the same, i would very much like for the experiences - whatever they are - to be written respectfully, at least.

(especially if you switch out a white fc for a fc of color. that automatically adds another layer. a layer that i think ought to be explored.)

because those experiences very much do inform who you are as a person and the way you move through the world; it informs the way you see things and the way other people see you and i think it's a disservice - not just to your character but also to yourself as a writer - if those details are forgotten about.

for instance: when i was a kid, i went to the park and came across a lady with a dog. i was with a friend of mine (who is, coincidentally, white passing). i wanted to pet the dog (despite my allergies) and i distinctly remember that my friend was allowed to, and even encouraged to, but i wasn't. that was my first ever indication of "hey, some people see the color of your skin before they see you".

if you're gonna write an indian character, i beg you: write an indian character instead of a white person in a brown person suit. because that's what it feels like to me.

this is not meant to be a diss or a drag or a subtweet (sub-tumblr post?) or anything of the sort. all i am saying, openly and earnestly, is that i am missing the nuances here. i am missing the care and respect.

it's hurtful and, frankly, disrespectful because i'm out here worrying about whether or not i am accurately depicting my own culture / background while others don't even give a modicum of energy to making sure the story they're telling is one of respect.

it sucked when authors like m/ichelle h/odkin did that shit in 2011-2014 and when m/arissa m/eyer did that shit in 2020.

and, to be really honest, i didn't think i'd still be seeing it in 2024. that sucks, too.

ps: it goes without saying but this is not about any of my friends because i know who they are and i know the values they hold.

"I never really bought the fireworks story because they would have had to be granted special permission from my understanding."

I agree that the fireworks story is BS for a number of reasons.

they are only on sale in retail stores for about 3-5 days prior to specific events (iirc), so the 5th of November, and maybe Chinese New Year, Diwali and NYE

A professional display requires licences and permission, and they would never have got it in Kensington

outside of expected times (ie: 5 November, Chinese New Year, Diwali and NYE) there were never any fireworks going off around Kensington, I know that for a fact as I knew someone who was living in that area at the time, and trust me there would have been a lot of complaints if they were doing fireworks.

The parties however I do agree would have happened, and no doubt with a lot of alcohol and drugs.

I 100% do think that they had rather rowdy parties and were asked by multiple people to keep it down.

The thing is, according to rumor, H&M were living at that rented Cotswolds home for a while but were at KP as well.

I would really love to see what their travel was like from 2017-2020.

★ Tried and trusted: Salman Khan to collaborate with Sooraj Barjatya for 'Prem Ki Shaadi'!

08 July,2023 

What’s he doing next? That has been the question on the minds of Salman Khan’s fans, and many filmmakers who had pitched their projects to him. The superstar, however, was taking it slow, reassessing his choice of movies after the underwhelming run of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Reports suggested that he wasn’t gung-ho about the offers coming his way, barring Karan Johar’s production and Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ki Shaadi (Being choosy, June 21). But now, the actor has made up his mind. We hear Khan and his filmmaker-friend Barjatya will take the family drama on floors next month.  The superstar had loved the concept when it was narrated to him in 2020. While the two were writing it during the lockdown, they sped up the process in the past few months. A trade source reveals, “Romantic dramas, set in a family, are a success at the box-office today, as seen with Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and Satyaprem Ki Katha. Salman is fond of such stories, which is why he had immediately given his nod to Prem Ki Shaadi. However, finalising the screenplay took time. The team began pre-production last month, setting the stage for an August shoot.”

Prem Ki Shaadi, which marks the duo’s fifth collaboration, revolves around a nuclear family. The leading lady will be finalised in the coming weeks. “It tells the journey of a couple, starting from their marriage, to raising their children and going strong till their old age. The first schedule will kick off on a set in Mumbai.” The team is eyeing a Diwali 2024 release.

[onbearfeet]

I love Halloween and dislike Christmas because I grew up as part of a dysfunctional family in an evangelical basically-a-cult. While there are some spiritual aspects of Christmas I still enjoy (mostly Christmas Eve services--I find those moving, probably because they're dark and haunting and not trying to sell me fake joy and glitter), what I love about Halloween is that, because it was banned for much of my childhood, it has no baggage. It can be ANYTHING. I have no traditions or rituals for it, no painful memories. It's what I make of it NOW, while Christmas will always be at least slightly what it was when I was 8. I will always be the child of a mother struggling with her seasonal depression and the anniversaries of the deaths of her mother and sister, and I will always be the child with that sister's face, and that shadow will never leave. But Halloween? It can be costumes and dumb movies and that time in 2020 when I lowered a bucket of candy off my balcony on a rope for socially distanced trick-or-treaters.

And the thing is, your holiday baggage will vary. Maybe for you, Purim or Diwali was when things were particularly good or when they were especially bad. Maybe you never got to celebrate your birthday, and now it can be anything to you, OR maybe it's empty and meaningless forever.

Humans are weird and complicated. Anyone who says otherwise (especially in a TikTok) is selling something.

I am calling for a total and complete ban on tiktok pop psychology until we can figure out what the hell is going on

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Farrukhabad, 11th Nov. A judge in Farrukhabad district has alleged he was attacked by members of the notorious Sundar Bhati gang in retaliation for convicting them in past criminal cases. An FIR has been lodged in connection with the attack, which occurred on October 29, while Additional District and Sessions Judge Anil Kumar Singh was on his way home in Noida for Diwali. According to police, five unidentified assailants in a white SUV attempted to intercept Singh’s vehicle near Jattari on the Aligarh-Tappal highway. The attackers reportedly made several attempts to shoot the judge, but Singh managed to evade them and reached a nearby police outpost unharmed. In the FIR, Singh stated that he had “no enmity with anyone” but suspected that the attack was a revenge attempt by the gang, led by Sundar Bhati, for his role in convicting Bhati and his associates. Singh had sentenced Bhati and 11 others to life imprisonment for multiple criminal cases during his tenure as an Additional Sessions Judge at the Gautam Buddh Nagar District Court in 2021. The judge further alleged that Bhati and his gang members, with a history of criminal activity, had conspired to kill him in revenge for their convictions. A case has been registered at the Khair police station under multiple sections, including attempt to murder, rioting, and criminal conspiracy. The investigation is ongoing, though no breakthroughs have been made yet. Sundar Bhati, who has over 40 criminal cases, including murder, extortion, and robbery, was recently released from Sonbhadra Jail in October, where he had been incarcerated since 2020. Bhati was granted bail by the Allahabad High Court after being convicted in a case in Gautam Buddh Nagar. The delay in lodging the complaint has raised questions, but Singh claimed to have informed local authorities shortly after the incident. The investigation continues.
