The episode begins with the Pradhan family gathered in their home, meticulously inspecting the arrangements for the upcoming pooja. The atmosphere is tense as Vinod approaches Leena, who is visibly distressed. She expresses her feelings of betrayal and heartbreak, revealing that despite her deep love for Neil—who she raised as her own—he has cast her aside without a second thought. Vinod tries to console her, emphasizing that Neil’s recent behavior should not be taken to heart, as he has been struggling emotionally. To address Neil’s turmoil, the family has organized the Shanti Pooja, hoping it will bring him some peace.
Bhushan joins the conversation, seeking to understand the source of Leena’s distress. Vinod explains the situation, noting Leena’s upset over Neil’s actions. Bhushan empathizes with her, admitting that he is facing similar challenges with Manjari. However, he expresses optimism that Neil will change for the better after participating in the pooja. Leena, still anxious, instructs the pandit to ensure that Neil performs the rituals properly. The pandit reassures them that everything will proceed smoothly.
As the preparations continue, Neil arrives, his demeanor tense and determined. He asserts that true resolution cannot be achieved without taking action, declaring his intent to uncover the truth behind Teju’s murder. The Pradhan family urges him to remain for the pooja, emphasizing the importance of maintaining harmony in the household. Ritu Raj also encourages Neil to participate for Teju’s sake, but Neil vehemently rejects their pleas, insisting that he cannot find peace until justice is served for Teju. Frustrated, he storms out of the house, leaving the family in a state of concern.
At that moment, Savi arrives at the Pradhan home, accompanied by Bhakti and her baby. The pandit informs the family that it is time to begin the pooja, but Savi interrupts, stating that the ceremony must be postponed. She has come to interrogate someone in the house regarding the murders of Rajat and Teju. Initially, the family assumes she is there to question Neil, but Savi clarifies that her focus is actually on Ritu Raj.
Ritu Raj protests, claiming he has already provided all the information he has and questioning what more Savi could want. Savi asserts her authority, declaring that she will be the one asking the questions. Alok, recognizing the tension, urges Ritu Raj to cooperate, reminding him that he has nothing to hide.
Savi begins her inquiry by questioning Ritu Raj about his visit to Amravati. She points out his previous claim that he had not met Teju after she was expelled from the house. When Ritu Raj hesitates, Savi reveals that Teju’s college students have reported seeing him there, pressing him to stop lying. In response, Ritu Raj accuses her of attempting to frame him to clear her husband’s name, referencing rumors regarding an affair between Rajat and Teju. Savi, angered by his insinuation, warns him not to speak about her husband in such a manner.
Bhushan intervenes, admonishing Savi for misusing her position. She retorts, questioning why the family is ignoring Ritu Raj’s dishonesty and vowing to uncover the truth. In a sudden fit of rage, Ritu Raj shoves Kian, causing Savi to become alarmed for her son’s safety. Ritu Raj then threatens Savi, warning her to keep her distance and crudely suggesting she investigate what Rajat and Teju were doing alone at midnight. In a moment of defiance, Savi slaps him, igniting outrage among the Pradhan family, who demand to know how she could dare to strike a family member. They threaten to expel her from the house, but Savi stands her ground, reminding them that obstructing an ACP’s investigation is a crime.
Bhushan, frustrated, questions how Savi could come to their home without a warrant and demands to know what evidence she possesses. Bhakti steps forward, revealing that a plectrum was found at the crime scene. Ritu Raj dismisses this evidence, asserting that anyone could own a plectrum. Savi warns him that she will return with a warrant for a more thorough interrogation, declaring that his troubles are just beginning before leaving the house.
Later, Savi instructs Bhakti to quickly retrieve Teju’s phone, believing it may contain crucial evidence. Bhakti informs her that the phone repair shop has been closed for some time, but she has been checking daily for updates. Meanwhile, Keshav attempts to call Bhakti, but she ignores his calls. When Savi encourages her to answer, Bhakti refuses, stating that Keshav only calls to inquire about her involvement in the investigation. Keshav, frustrated, confides in Nithin that Bhakti is not responding to him, and Nithin warns that he will take action if he discovers she is assisting Savi.
As tensions rise, the pandit informs the Pradhan family that the pooja is canceled, interpreting it as an inauspicious sign. Bhushan vows to teach Savi a lesson for disrupting their sacred ceremony.
Nithin Majnekar confronts Neil, scolding him for his involvement in the investigation. Neil defends his actions, asserting that the investigation is not being conducted properly. He reveals that he recorded a video on his phone but was attacked and had the evidence destroyed. He insists that he is a forensic expert and recalls seeing Savi at the scene after he regained consciousness from the attack. Nithin questions why Savi was present when he had removed her from the case.
As Bhushan enters, he expresses his grievances about Savi’s conduct. Nithin, confused, asks who he is, and Bhushan introduces himself as Neil’s uncle. The Pradhan family explains to Nithin that Savi barged into their home with her son and another inspector, conducting an interrogation without a warrant. Neil, curious about the situation, asks what transpired. Bhushan recounts the events, and Nithin acknowledges that he had previously warned Savi about her behavior.
Bhushan demands that Nithin rein in Savi’s actions, threatening to file a case against the entire police team if necessary. Neil inquires if Savi has any solid evidence against Ritu Raj and what questions she posed during the interrogation. Ritu Raj tries to downplay the incident, but Bhushan tells him not to interfere. He warns Nithin to take action against Savi and storms off, leaving the atmosphere charged with tension.
Meanwhile, Savi and Bhakti wait outside the phone repair shop, eager for updates. When the technician arrives, Bhakti explains their need for Teju’s phone. He hands it over, confirming that it has been repaired. Savi instructs Bhakti to charge the phone immediately, hopeful that it will yield vital evidence for their investigation.
**Precap:** Savi faces suspension from her job, but she resolves to join forces with Neil to seek justice for their partners, setting the stage for a united front against the challenges ahead.
