The episode begins with a tense atmosphere as Aniruddh confronts the police inspector, questioning why he wants to search his house. The inspector, unfazed, presents a search warrant and explains that this is part of the ongoing investigation. He mentions that he has already searched both Chatterjee’s and Sanjhbati’s houses. Aditi, feeling cooperative, offers that the police can search her house without any issues. Anjana, on the other hand, expresses her suspicion that Jhanak is behind the entire situation, although she struggles to accept this possibility in her heart. Aniruddh, eager for clarity, asks the inspector if he found anything in Jhanak’s room. The inspector cryptically replies that he will report his findings to his senior, leaving Aniruddh anxious about what might be uncovered.
The inspector then turns his attention to Aditi, asking for her opinion on who the culprit might be. Aditi firmly states that she believes Jhanak is the only one with a motive to harm her, reinforcing her conviction that Jhanak attempted to kill her. The police inspector asks Aniruddh to show him the outfit he was wearing on the day of the incident. Arshi interjects, questioning the relevance of Aniruddh’s clothing to Aditi’s case, but the inspector insists that he is simply doing his duty. Arshi decides to fetch the outfit, while the inspector instructs a lady constable to search Aditi’s room.
As the inspector enters Aniruddh’s room to check his and Arshi’s outfits, Aditi arrives, raising Aniruddh’s anxiety. He wonders if the inspector suspects him and recalls that he cannot remember where he disposed of the poison container. The tension escalates when the inspector discovers a container in the dustbin, taking it for testing. He informs Aniruddh that he has found several items and will wait for the test results. Aniruddh, sensing the gravity of the situation, asks if the inspector is searching for the poison container specifically. The inspector’s question about how Aniruddh knew there was poison in it raises further suspicion. Aniruddh claims he was merely guessing, but the tension in the room thickens as Arshi questions why it matters.
The police inspector concludes that he is leaving since the search is over. Aditi, still concerned, asks if Rishi allowed the investigation to proceed smoothly. The inspector clarifies that Rishi is not involved in this case and suggests that Aditi might not have been the intended target. Aniruddh, feeling defensive, challenges the inspector’s implication, insisting that there is no way Aditi could have ingested the poisoned juice by accident. The inspector departs, leaving Aniruddh and Aditi in a state of unease.
Meanwhile, Abhimanyu informs the family that the police have called them in, prompting Dadabhai to express his desire for the issue to be resolved quickly. Tanushri notes that Dadabhai has finally acknowledged that something wrong is happening. Neelu expresses her frustration, stating they are facing these troubles because of Jhanak and reveals her wish to see the police arrest her. Dadabhai tries to remind them that nothing has been proven against Jhanak yet. Neelu, however, insists that Jhanak is the only one with a motive to harm Aditi.
Indumati advises Neelu that arguing with Dadabhai is futile since he rarely listens to others. Rishi, eager to resolve the matter, suggests they go to the police station. Putul mentions that Sanjhbati’s family will also be present, and Rishi admits he feels ashamed of the situation. When Putul questions his shame, Rishi reflects that if he hadn’t brought Jhanak into their lives, none of this would have happened. Tanushri, however, firmly asserts that Jhanak is indeed the culprit, a sentiment echoed by the rest of the family.
As they prepare to leave, Rishi reassures Jhanak that she has nothing to fear if she is innocent. Jhanak expresses her awareness of her innocence but laments that the community’s perception makes her feel guilty. She voices her concerns about being powerless against the influence of wealthy and powerful individuals. Neelu seizes the moment to taunt Jhanak, but Jhanak remains resolute, stating that if she is guilty, then God and the law will punish her. She insists that she cannot afford to be late for the police station.
Meanwhile, at Simulboni, Parashar is packing his luggage. Kanka notices and grows worried, expressing her fears about the court order and the potential for his arrest. Parashar reassures her that he must attend the court. Kanka reflects that Nutan would have stopped him if she were alive, to which Parashar agrees but reminds her that Nutan always supported the truth, implying that she would have stood by him in this situation. Kanka questions what will happen after he testifies against Aniruddh, and Parashar explains that the court will likely order a DNA test. Suddenly, they hear the sound of a police jeep siren, prompting Parashar to tell Kanka that the police are not near their house.
Back at Aniruddh’s home, Arshi questions him about whether he has spoken to the senior officers regarding the investigation. Aniruddh admits he has received no new information. Arshi expresses her frustration, stating that she did not want Nutan to win and implies that Aditi is inadvertently allowing Jhanak to gain the upper hand. Aniruddh reassures her that Jhanak will soon be out of Aditi and Rishi’s lives. However, when Arshi brings up the poison container, Aniruddh admits he cannot remember where he disposed of it. Arshi scolds him, insisting that Aditi should remain unaware of this detail. Just then, Aditi enters and comments that Rishi will likely try to protect Jhanak. Aniruddh asserts that Rishi will be powerless to help her, while Arshi warns Aditi that Rishi cannot become involved in this case. Aniruddh suggests that once Jhanak is imprisoned, Aditi should visit Rishi. He vows that he will not let Jhanak escape justice. Arshi then declares that they should head to the police station.
**Precap:** Rishi announces that he will take Jhanak to the police station, but Jhanak defiantly states that she will not accompany him. She challenges him, saying, “Let’s see whether I end up in jail or walk out of the police station with my head held high.”
