Jagga Jasoos #4

Jagga Jasoos was on a trip to Khajjiar - Mini Switzerland near Simla. To spend a free time after a hectic month of solving too many crime scenes, was there to enjoy the leisure time with friends. They were staying at Hotel Calapsis. The manager of Hotel Calapsis didn't charge anything to Jagga and his friends, as JJ had helped the manager in the suicide(so called) case of a middle aged man. That was the main reason to visit Khajjiar today, but for enjoying - not solving crime mysteries.

As, I mentioned the case Jagga had solved recently during his previous visit to Khajjiar, I would give this case to you all for testing your brain skills.

2nd January, 2013 was the date. The month of  winter, when there is rush of tourists in Khajjiar. Mr. Brihaspati was staying in the room - 1408. On the night of 2nd January, he committed suicide. And, in this peak season of tourists, the police had asked Hotel Calapsis, to not entertain any more customers until the case is solved. By this, hotel manager was worried for the loss possible to occur to their business, called Jagga Jasoos to help the police in solving the case.

Jagga arrived at the crime scene , realized that police hadn't touched anything as they were waiting for him only and saw Mr Brihaspati lying on the floor of the room 1408, completely lifeless. In his one hand, there was a gun and on the other hand - a tape recorder. When, Jagga played the recorder, he heard Brihaspati's voice. He was saying:

"I am tired of this hectic and boring life. I have been lonely since last three years. So, I decide to relieve myself from these worldly pains. I do it on my own, no one else is at the blame." After hearing this, Jagga Jasoos told the policeman that the case is not of suicide. This guy is murdered. And, with the help of finger prints on the recorder, police reached to the killer.

How could Jagga Jasoos clearly say that Mr Brihaspati did not commit suicide and was murdered. Put yourself in the shoes of Jagga Jasoos and try to solve this mystery. Make your brain work for the solution.


With that, I leave you all to this brain exercise. See you all, till the next puzzle comes.
