Prelims: 14th February | 10:00-12:00 Hrs | Silver Jubilee Building

Finals: 14th February | 14:00-17:00 Hrs | A12 Hall

A man is brutally murdered. The witnesses are ready to testify. The police are clueless. It’s your task to unearth the mystery. Pragyan’s Crime Busters is an event like no other. It looks for keen observational skills, an acute sense of logic and reason and the very annoying habit of saying “Elementary, Watson” in a snobbish know-it-all manner. So put your thinking caps on, carry a magnifying glass around if you want to and make sure you, as dramatically as possible, point at the murderer at the end.

Tips:

• A Ludicrous french accent is bound to help. Add a pair of bushy moustaches and an egg shaped head and voilà, you have the murderer firmly under your grip.
• If you’re more Victorian in taste, don’t worry, we might have something for you as well. Get addicted to tobacco and send your trusted assistant on pointless errands (only if he’s a doctor) just to be rid of him. Trust us, it helps.
• Get your self a friend, a trusted one (preferably a dumb doctor who’s likely to be the kind of person who’s leg would be bound to get stuck in a mop-bucket if the crime-scene ever has one) just to make you look more intelligent.
