The episode opens with Putul expressing her unwavering support for Jhanak, assuring her that she believes Jhanak will emerge victorious today. However, Indumati interjects, suggesting that there is a real possibility the police might arrest Jhanak during this critical time. Dadabhai, overhearing this, remarks that Indumati would actually be pleased if such an event were to occur. Indumati clarifies that her happiness would stem from the capture of the true culprit who attempted to kill Aditi.
As tensions rise, Rishi approaches Jhanak, asking her to accompany him. This prompts Tanushri to question his intentions, demanding to know why he would take Jhanak with him. Abhimanyu, sensing the situation, admonishes Rishi for his actions, urging him to have some shame. Rishi defends Jhanak, stating that she is his responsibility and emphasizing her innocence until proven guilty. In response, Jhanak asserts her independence, declaring that she will go to the police station alone. She confidently states, “Let’s see if I end up in jail or if I leave the police station with my head held high.”
Neelu, however, expresses skepticism, warning Jhanak not to even entertain the idea that the police will let her go. Putul tries to reassure Jhanak, urging her to come with her, but Jhanak declines, insisting she can handle it on her own. Abhimanyu chimes in, pointing out that Jhanak cannot escape to Simulboni, implying that the police will catch her if she tries. Jhanak responds by telling him that he still does not understand her character; she has always faced her challenges head-on rather than fleeing from them.
Tanushri interrupts, telling Rishi that they will waste their day if Jhanak doesn’t arrive at the police station on time. Jhanak, aware of Rishi’s suspicions regarding her involvement in Aditi’s attempted murder, confronts him about it. Rishi asks if she is truly prepared to go alone, and Jhanak retorts that she does not need his sympathy, especially since he suspects her of trying to kill Aditi. Rishi pleads with her not to misinterpret his intentions. Jhanak reminds him of his earlier words, where he stated he wouldn’t want to see her face if she were found guilty, which only reinforces her belief that he doubts her innocence. With that, she walks away, leaving Rishi and the others behind. Indumati comments on Jhanak’s decision to go alone, while Neelu insists they must reach the police station promptly. Rishi notes Neelu’s keen interest in the case, to which she responds that she simply wants to uncover the identity of Aditi’s assailant.
Later, at the police station, the inspector announces that they have made significant progress in solving the case. Putul encourages Jhanak to remain calm and not to be afraid. Aniruddh, seeking clarity, asks the IG of police for the truth. The IG presents a photo slide from the wedding of Sanjhbati and Dritimaan, explaining that his team searched Sanjhbati’s house but found no evidence related to the poison. They also searched Rishi’s house with similar results. Arshi, curious, inquires about the evidence they have.
The IG of police reveals that his team has conducted a search of Arshi’s house as well. Aniruddh vehemently denies any intention to harm Aditi, but the IG produces a poison container found in Aniruddh’s room, stating that it has been sent for testing. He asserts that the poison in the container matches the substance Aditi ingested, shocking everyone present. Aniruddh, bewildered, demands to know what the IG is implying.
Abhimanyu suggests that there must be some misunderstanding, while Tanushri questions why Aniruddh would want to kill Aditi. The IG explains that it is possible Aniruddh intended to target someone else, but Aditi inadvertently became the victim. Dadabhai interjects, asserting that the truth will ultimately prevail. The IG then calls the supplier who provided the poison to Aniruddh. In a desperate attempt to deflect blame, Aniruddh claims ignorance of the supplier and accuses Rishi of concocting a scheme to trap him. Aditi, taken aback, confronts Rishi about his actions.
The IG presents a photo of Aniruddh and the supplier, revealing that Aniruddh had intended to kill Jhanak to evade the DNA test case. Dadabhai expresses his disappointment in Aniruddh, while Tanushri questions whether Rishi is manipulating the situation to protect Jhanak. Abhimanyu, however, expresses doubt about Rishi’s motives. The IG asserts that Jhanak is innocent in this matter, reiterating that Aniruddh’s previous attempt on her life occurred in Rishi’s kitchen, which could lead to Aniruddh facing severe legal consequences. Jhanak, overwhelmed with emotion, begins to cry as the IG asks her if she wishes to file a case against Aniruddh.
Aditi, seeking confirmation, asks Aniruddh if this is the truth. Aniruddh insists that it is all a setup. Arshi urges Aditi to trust Aniruddh, while he blames Jhanak for ruining both his and Aditi’s lives. The IG presses Jhanak for her decision, and she declares that she will not file another complaint against Aniruddh, provided he agrees to undergo a DNA test. Rishi thanks the IG for revealing the truth, confident that the law will not spare Aniruddh. Aditi, casting a furious glance at Aniruddh, storms out of the room.
In a brief recap, Aniruddh agrees to the DNA test, while Rishi contemplates the implications of a positive result, fearing it will permanently separate him from Jhanak. Aniruddh, meanwhile, resolves to persuade Jhanak to withdraw the DNA case, while Jhanak remains steadfast in her commitment to see the case through, vowing not to back down under any circumstances.
