Anybody tell me the truth!

The only problem is the tense used.It should have been present tense not past tense because you are seeking at a particular moment.

Who is Anybody? eg. Thomas told me the truth.

If it is a question: did anyone tell me the truth?

Has anyone told me the truth?

Or a statement: Nobody told me the truth.

or somebody...

"Anybody" is too vague a pronoun to be used as a subject for this sentence; you need to reference a particular entity or specific group which tells the truth.  Unless "Anybody" is a personal name.

"He, she, they, you, it (such as a "diary" or the "evidence")" would better fit the sentence structure.

"Somebody" or "someone" would also work.

And (please take no offense) the mistake in "where is the mistake of this question" is the use of "of" instead of "in." :D  It should read -"where is the mistake IN this question."
