The episode opens with SP Jagriti Singh in a state of shock, looking at her blood-stained hands. She recalls a recent, violent confrontation with Akash where a gun discharged during their struggle, and Akash was shot in the stomach. Panicked, Jagriti had tried to help him, urging him to stay conscious and calling for help before he seemingly passed out.
Back in the present, still in the cowshed where Akash was shot, a dazed Jagriti notices a loose floor tile near where Akash had fallen. She pries it open and discovers a hidden compartment containing a file.
The scene then flashes back to an earlier time. Akash’s wife, Sapna, is in the same cowshed area, pestering a visibly annoyed Akash to help her with some “uple” (cow dung cakes) as she doesn’t want to spoil her nails. Akash, irritated by her incessant chatter, tells her to be quiet and move aside. He then goes to the same hidden compartment, retrieves some files, and sternly tells Sapna that these are his “Dad’s business-related documents” and none of her concern. He locks the gate to the cowshed, leaving a concerned Sapna outside.
Cutting back to after Akash was shot (but before the courtroom scene), Jagriti meets Sapna. Jagriti is now in her police uniform and holds the file she found, which is labeled “Alex Poison Deal.” Sapna asks Jagriti if she found Akash or any evidence. Jagriti shows her the file, expressing her disbelief that Akash knew about this crucial evidence but never told her. Despite this, Jagriti is determined to use the file to prove Suraj’s innocence and bring him home. Sapna, emotional, tells Jagriti she won’t accompany her to court immediately, fearing Akash would think she sided with Jagriti if he saw them together. She promises to join Jagriti once Akash learns she’s at the court. They share a heartfelt hug, and Sapna encourages her sister, “Show them what my sister Jaggu can do. All the best!”
Meanwhile, in another scene, Akash is shown frantically searching the hidden compartment in the cowshed, throwing files around in a rage, unable to find the “Dad aur Alex ki illegal business deal wali file.” He screams in frustration.
The scene shifts to the courtroom. The judge is questioning the SP (Superintendent of Police) about the police department’s sudden change in stance regarding Suraj Thakur’s remand. The SP, who had previously argued for Suraj’s custody, now states that the investigation requiring his presence is complete. The judge then inquires about the Investigating Officer, Jagriti Singh, who had strongly advocated for Suraj’s remand.
Just then, SP Jagriti Singh enters the courtroom, confidently holding the “Alex Poison Deal” file. She requests permission to present new evidence before the court makes a decision. She hands a copy of the file to her surprised senior SP, reminding him that she never forgets her duty or protocols. The file is then presented to the judge. Jagriti declares that the evidence proves Suraj Thakur has no connection to “Suraj Enterprises” and that this company was merely a front for Kalikant Thakur’s illicit activities, disguised as a forest development project. She boldly accuses Kalikant Thakur, who is present in court, of being the true owner and the real culprit.
Kalikant Thakur erupts in anger, shouting abuses and threatening Inspector Tejaswi (Jagriti’s subordinate) for betraying him, calling him a “pilla” (puppy) who fed on his scraps. Jagriti calmly interjects, “Point to be noted, my lord,” highlighting Kalikant’s open threat to an on-duty police officer in court. The judge sternly warns Kalikant to control his language, reminding him that it’s a courtroom, not his ministerial council. Unfazed, Kalikant boasts that he is the law in Mokshgadh and that even his son Akash tried to stop the police. As he speaks, several of his goons in the courtroom suddenly draw their guns, creating a tense standoff.
However, Jagriti is prepared. She calmly uses her walkie-talkie to summon commandos, who swiftly enter and disarm Kalikant’s men. Jagriti smirks at a shocked Kalikant, stating she anticipated such a move from him and that his true, arrogant nature is now exposed.
A flashback then reveals a crucial conversation between Jagriti and Inspector Tejaswi at the police station. Jagriti confronts Tejaswi, appealing to his conscience by mentioning his fiancée Vandana and how she would perceive his involvement in corruption. She offers him a chance at redemption. A conflicted Tejaswi confesses that, on Jagriti’s own orders, he and Constable Vishwas had previously removed crucial papers from the very file that was supposed to be presented in court (implying Jagriti had initially planned to protect someone or a different strategy).
Returning to the courtroom, Jagriti states that the goon who shot Suraj (Sajju) and the one who kidnapped her and her mother-in-law have both confessed they acted on someone’s orders. She then dramatically asks Inspector Tejaswi to name the mastermind. Despite Kalikant’s menacing glares, Tejaswi, drawing strength from Jagriti’s determined gaze, points directly at Kalikant Thakur, accusing him of being behind all the crimes.
As the judge is about to deliver his verdict, the courtroom doors burst open, and Akash Thakur walks in, looking surprisingly unharmed. Jagriti, Sapna, and everyone present are stunned. Jagriti’s eyes dart between Akash and the “Alex Poison Deal” file in the judge’s hands, her expression a mixture of shock and confusion as the episode ends on this cliffhanger.
Major Recap Points:
- Jagriti Exposes Kalikant Thakur in Court: Jagriti finds crucial evidence (the “Alex Poison Deal” file) and boldly presents it in court, accusing Kalikant Thakur of running an illegal business under a front company and being the true criminal, thereby shifting the blame from Suraj.
- Akash’s Unexpected Return: Just as the judge is about to deliver a verdict after Kalikant is seemingly cornered, Akash Thakur, who was presumed seriously injured or dead, makes a dramatic and healthy entry into the courtroom, shocking everyone, especially Jagriti.
Plot Twists & Key Revelations:
- Akash Shot During Struggle with Jagriti: The episode opens with the shocking aftermath of Akash being shot, seemingly accidentally, during a struggle with Jagriti over a gun. (Though his later appearance negates the severity, the act itself is a twist).
- Jagriti Finds Critical Evidence (“Alex Poison Deal” File): After Akash is shot, Jagriti discovers a hidden file in the cowshed that implicates Kalikant Thakur in an illegal poison deal, which becomes her primary weapon in court.
- Akash Knew About the Hidden Evidence: The flashback reveals Akash was aware of the hidden compartment and the business documents, yet he kept them from Sapna and, by extension, from Jagriti.
- Inspector Tejaswi’s Initial Betrayal (On Jagriti’s Orders): A major revelation occurs in a flashback where Tejaswi confesses to Jagriti that he, along with Constable Vishwas, had previously tampered with the evidence file on Jagriti’s own orders. This implies Jagriti had a different, perhaps compromised, plan initially.
- Kalikant’s Goons Attempt Courtroom Intimidation: Kalikant’s arrogance leads him to have his armed goons try to intimidate the court, a move Jagriti anticipates and counters by calling in commandos.
- Akash is Alive and Enters Court: The biggest twist is Akash’s sudden appearance in court, seemingly unharmed, right before the verdict, leaving the nature of his earlier injury and his current motives a mystery.
Predicted Outcomes (Next Episode/Arc):
- Akash’s Testimony will be Crucial: Akash’s entry will halt the proceedings. He will likely be called to testify. His testimony could either support Jagriti (if he has had a change of heart or was playing a long game) or complicate matters further by defending his father or revealing new information about the shooting incident.
- Jagriti’s Past Strategy Questioned: The revelation that Jagriti initially ordered Tejaswi to tamper with evidence will likely be brought up, potentially by Akash or Kalikant’s lawyer, to discredit her current stance and question her integrity as an officer.
- The Mystery of Akash’s “Shooting”: The episode will need to address how Akash survived the gunshot wound with no apparent ill effects. It might be revealed that the gun had blanks, it was a superficial wound, or he received immediate medical attention that wasn’t shown. This could have been a ploy by Akash or even Jagriti (though less likely given her shock).
- Kalikant Thakur’s Next Move: Despite being exposed and his goons disarmed, Kalikant is unlikely to give up. He will use his influence and resources to fight the charges, possibly trying to intimidate more witnesses or find loopholes.
- Sapna’s Dilemma: With Akash back, Sapna’s loyalty will be severely tested. She was about to support Jagriti but might now be torn between her husband and her sister, especially if Akash tries to manipulate her.
