Good afternoon sir.
Here b/w capacitor short circuited why and how.
Remaining two parallel .so total capacity 2c.
But explain about here short circuit .

voltage on both plate of capacitor is same 
so voltage difference across that capacitor is zero
then Q = CV
as V = 0 so Q =0
so capacitor is short circuited.
thenthere will no current across that capacitor
so equivalent circuit is 2 capacitance of value C each in parallel
so equivalent capacitance is 2C
Hope it clears.
