The episode opens in a dimly lit hospital room where Gaurav stands beside an unconscious Padma, his expression a mix of concern and determination. He speaks softly to her, his voice filled with urgency as he informs her that Raghav has been granted bail. The atmosphere is tense, underscored by the gravity of the situation. Just then, a nurse enters the room, instructing Gaurav to step outside. However, Gaurav refuses to leave the hospital, insisting that he will guard the door and ensure that not even a fly enters the room, showcasing his fierce loyalty and protective instincts toward Padma.
Anjali arrives shortly after, her face etched with worry as she approaches Gaurav. She inquires about Padma’s condition, and Gaurav responds that while Padma is stable for the moment, he is uncertain how long that stability will last. He reveals to Anjali that there was an attempt on Padma’s life, which sends a wave of shock through her. At that moment, the doctor arrives and confirms Gaurav’s words, stating that Padma is alive solely because of Gaurav’s quick actions during the incident.
Anjali’s concern quickly turns into anger as she demands to know who the police officer assigned to protect Padma was. Her frustration peaks when she spots a police constable nearby, and she lashes out at him for failing in his duty to keep Padma safe. The tension in the room escalates as Anjali then questions the doctor about the availability of CCTV footage from the hospital corridor. The doctor informs her that while there is footage, the heavy crowd makes it difficult to identify the culprit. Anjali, undeterred, asserts her confidence in her ability to recognize the assailant, declaring that as a criminal lawyer, she can identify the perpetrator simply by observing their behavior.
Just then, Pankaj enters Padma’s room, and Anjali seizes the opportunity to remind him of his earlier accusation against Raghav, suggesting that he was the one trying to kill Padma. She challenges him to consider who could be behind the recent attempt on her life. Pankaj, defensive, insists that he will handle the investigation but does not provide any clarity on the situation. Anjali, not backing down, questions him about under what new legal sections he plans to charge Raghav this time. Pankaj bristles at her challenge, accusing her of trying to insult him. Anjali counters that she is merely presenting her perspective and accuses him of falsely implicating Raghav in Padma’s attempted murder.
Gaurav, sensing the rising tension, intervenes and urges both Anjali and Pankaj to calm down. He suggests that someone is deliberately sowing discord between them and emphasizes that their priority should be solving the case. He encourages Anjali to seek the support of an honest officer like Pankaj. However, Pankaj remains obstinate, refusing to cooperate. Anjali presses him about his lack of support, to which Pankaj replies that he will only support the law, not personal biases. Anjali, determined to stand up for the innocent, asserts that she will fight for those wrongfully accused. Pankaj challenges her, stating that if she can defeat him in this matter, he will concede that she is better than him. Anjali, confident in her abilities, agrees to the challenge and walks away, leaving the tension in the air.
Meanwhile, the Rajput family is shown praying fervently for Raghav’s safe return, blissfully unaware that he has already been granted bail. Their hopes and fears reflect the emotional stakes of the situation. As Gaurav, Anjali, and Aman return home, Sadhika, filled with curiosity, asks Anjali about Raghav’s whereabouts, further heightening the anticipation surrounding Raghav’s situation.
The episode draws to a close, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as they ponder the implications of the unfolding drama.
**Precap:** In a gripping moment, Anjali confronts Rupa Rani, declaring that she will remain until Rupa reveals the truth. Rupa Rani, visibly shaken, warns Anjali that she is connected to powerful people, mentioning her recent encounter with Chandraman Thakur. Anjali, undeterred, records Rupa Rani’s statement and presses her for details about her connection to Chandraman, warning her against lying. Meanwhile, in a sinister twist, Chandraman’s henchman discusses a deadly plan to eliminate Padma, informing Chandraman that she will be dead within 15 minutes. Chandraman, confident in his scheme, believes that this time Raghav will not survive the fallout.
