South Delhi Murder Summary in English :-
Summary- Tabish Khair's poem 'South Delhi Murder' comes from his book "Where Parallel Lines Meet'. It is an attempt to dig under the surface of the mundane and the ordinary.
There lived an old couple (husband and wife) in an apartment. An old lady lived in the neighbouring flat. One morning she noticed red marks outside the door of the old couple. For three days she thought that it was spilled red ink or nail polish. But a swarm of flies indicated something foul. She called the police because it was a case of murder of the old couple in a flat. She told Mrs. Guha breathlessly that it was indeed a brutal murder. It was a harsh task for the stain to endure the pain of twenty-six stab wounds.
A boy servant named Shyam a Bihari chokkra lived with the old couple. He was absconding. It seemed the murder was committed at the dead of night. Shyam was accused of the murder as he was absent from the scene. Perhaps he had opened the door to the criminals for robbery. Club and knife were used as weapons for the murder. The police with the help of a cousin of the murdered couple a made the inventory of missing items. Those were two TV sets, radio, Banarasi Saris, all the inherited jewellery and cash.
A lady in the apartment informed the police that Shyam was a lovely boy servant. He had been filmed holding loaded trays in the party and his address was noted. So the police was able to nab him in his village with fifty rupees on him and a sari for his mother.
South Delhi Murder Summary in Hindi :-
सारांश - 'तबीस खैर' की कविता 'दक्षिण दिल्ली में हत्या' उनकी पुस्तक 'जहाँ समान्तर रेखाएँ मिलती' नामक पुस्तक से उद्धृत है। यह कविता उत्साहहीन और साधारण अन्तर खोजने का एक प्रयास है।
एक बड़ी इमारत के एक फ्लैट में एक वृद्ध दंपत्ति निवास करते थे। पास के फ्लैट में एक वृद्ध महिला रहती थी। एक सुबह उस महिला ने वृद्धों के दरवाजे के बाहर लाल निशान देखा। तीन दिनों तक वह सोचती रही कि वह लाल स्याही या नेल पॉलिश का निशान होगा लेकिन मक्खियों की झुंड ने कुछ बुराई का आभास दिया। उसने पुलिस को खबर किया क्योंकि इस फ्लैट में वृद्ध दंपत्ति के हत्या का मामला था। दूसरे फ्लैट के निवासी श्रीमती |गुहा ने हांफती हुए यह बताया कि यह निश्चय ही एक पाश्विक हत्या की घटना होगी। 26 बार छूरे का आघात सहकर मरना कितना कठिन व दर्दनाक घटना थी।
श्याम नामक एक बिहारी छोकरा इस दंपत्ति का नौकर था जो फरार था। इसलिए ऐसा प्रतीत होता था कि मध्यरात्रि में हत्या की गई थी। श्याम को हत्या का दोषी ठहराया गया क्योंकि वह वहाँ अनुपस्थित मिला। संभवतः डकैती के लिए उसने अपराधियों को दरवाजा खोल दिया था। हत्या में मोटी लाठी और चाकू प्रयुक्त हुआ था। पुलिस ने वृद्ध दंपत्ति के एक चचेरे भाई से खोई हुई वस्तुओं की सूची बनवायी। वे थे-दो बड़ी टीवी, एक रेडियो, कीमती बनारसी साड़ियाँ और , उत्तराधिकार में प्राप्त जेवरात तथा नकदी ।
उस भवन के एक महिला ने पुलिस से कहा, कि श्याम एक आकर्षक बालक नौकर था। पार्टी में वह ट्रे लेकर सेवा कर रहा है ऐसा एक फोटो है। और उसका पता भी लिखित है। अतः श्याम को, 50 रुपया और उसकी माँ के लिए एक साड़ी के साथ धर दबोचा गया।

Ans. Shyam had been filmed holding loaded trays in the party and his address was also noted. He was nabbed in his village with fifty rupees in cash and a sari for his mother.
C.1. LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS:
Q. 1. How could 'she' make out that the murder was committed ?
Ans. She at first mistook the marks of blood for spilled red ink or nail polish. A swarm of flies suggested the mark of some blood wounds closed up behind the door of the flat. Later on it was seen that a murder had been committed there.
Q. 2. What was her opinion about Shyam? Which words or phrases suggest this? Does her opinion change after the murder of the old couple?
Ans. She told Mrs. Guha that the old couple had a lovely boy servant. He used to smile very sweetly. 'So sweet Shyam' were the words and phrases used for Shyam.
Her opinion about Shyam was changed after the murder of the old couple. She was sure that Shyam had committed the murder.
Q. 3. Whom did the police suspect to have committed the crime? How did they come to the conclusion?
Ans. The police was informed that the old couple lived in a flat with one boy servant. The police came and broke open the door and located the crime. The murder was committed at night. Shyam, the boy servant, must have opened the door of the flat to enable the robbers enter the room.
Q. 4. How did the police investigate the murder? Was it a proper investigation ?
Ans. The boy servant in question had been filmed, holding loaded trays in a party and his address was noted. Hence, it was easy to trace out Shyam. He was arrested in his village with fifty rupees in cash and a sari for his mother. To my mind it was not a proper investigation.
Q. 5. How does the poem bring out the predicament of the old people living alone in big cities?
Ans. The poem 'South Delhi Murder' brings out the predicament of the old people living alone in big cities. It is a great problem before old people whose sons and daughters live abroad or in other cities leaving their parents alone. The number of these old people, who are specially retired persons and having a small family, is increasing day by day. Living alone they are not safe and secured. This problem is growing very rapidly.
Q. 6. Narrate the poem in your own words.
Ans. This is a narrative poem. It tells the story of the murder of an old couple living in South Delhi flat with one sweet boy. An inhabitant of a neighbouring flat discovered that a murder has taken place. She at first mistook the mark of blood for scattered red ink or nail polish. But a swarm of flies suggested the marks of some bloody wounds closed up behind the door of the flat. The lady became nervous but she called the police. She was surprised to find that the serving boy, who was an adolescent, could engineer such a bloody crime. Mrs Guha, another occupant of the neighbouring apartment, came out of her room, holding up a large handkerchief to her nose. The police officer asked her whether the serving boy was a Nepali or a Bihari chokkra. Some clues about the murder of the couple were available. The murder of the couple was definitely the work of an outsider. The murderer had used a small sharp knife used by doctors. Shyam had perhaps opened the door of the flat to admit the robbers. They used steel rods and knives to kill the old man and his wife. The old man was beaten to death with a club and his wife was stabbed to death decisively. This was done in order to commit robbery.
When the police officer asked a cousin of the couple to prepare a list of the missing articles at the place, he did so. Two TV sets, radio, costly Benarasi saris, valuable jewellery and cash-in fact everything was looted except the laptop. Upon this, the police officer joked that Bihari chokkras had not heard of laptop. They did not have anything to do with computers and the like. The chokkra in question had been filmed as an errand boy carrying loaded trays in parties and his address had been noted.
Thus, it was easy for the police to trace out Shyam, the Bihari chokkra, in his native village. The poet ironically concludes the poem. Thus justice was clinical. Sweet Shyam with fifty rupees and a sari for his mother was nabbed in his village.
Q.7. The moment the police officer comes out of the room he asks, 'Nepali boy, no? Bihari Chokkra ?' (lines 16-17) What light does it throw on his attitude?
Ans. In big cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai almost in each of the family a Bihari boy-servant or a Nepali boy-servant can be seen working. Specially in Delhi most of the boy-servants are poor Biharis. Sometimes they steal a small article for their family and they are found guilty. Naturally, the police is distrubed with their activities. This attitude of the police towards a Bihari boy-servant is somehow natural but this notion of the police may be removed by paying those servants a handsome salary. Their home addresses and photos should strictly be placed before the police for necessary action.
