The episode clip opens in a tense courtroom setting. IPS Jagriti stands tall, facing off against the arrogant Kalkant Thakur, who is surrounded by his men and guarded by police officers pointing guns at him. Jagriti declares that while evidence is important, today Kalkant’s pride and arrogance have exposed him to everyone.
Through a series of dramatic flashbacks, we witness the extent of Kalkant’s tyranny. We see him arrive in a village, asserting his dominance, tearing down huts, beating villagers, and even forcing a police officer (later revealed to be Jagriti’s husband, Suraj) to drink water poured in an act of humiliation. He takes a baby’s handprint on a form, cruelly stating it’s their “fate” to be criminals. He burns what seems to be an education certificate, calling it a “death warrant” for a young girl, and brutally attacks those who try to protect her. The flashbacks culminate in scenes of chaos, violence, and a village seemingly burning, highlighting the horrific consequences of his actions and his chilling declaration that anyone who rebels will be broken like a “reed.”
Back in the courtroom, Jagriti presents a crucial document. She reveals that Kalkant’s signatures on this document, related to his company “Suraj Enterprises,” were obtained months ago under illegal circumstances. She explains that he forced her and her husband, Suraj Thakur, to agree to take “reverse pheras” and cancel their wedding in exchange for his signature on these documents, aiming to control their lives.
Then comes a powerful moment. Suraj, previously accused himself, steps forward. He acknowledges Jagriti’s earlier prediction that he might end up in jail. He states he has no connection to the illegal activities of “Suraj Enterprises,” which involved drug trade. He then delivers a heartbreaking testimony against his own father, Kalkant. He reveals his deep, almost blind faith in his father, whom he considered his protector, even his “Bhagwan” (God). He is now filled with regret that his father’s blood runs in his veins, as Kalkant doesn’t deserve the title of “Pita.” He credits Jagriti for healing the wound his father inflicted, standing by him, and saving him from a potential jail sentence. He calls this moment the “victory of the law.”
The judge acquits Suraj Thakur, dismissing all charges against him based on the evidence presented. He then asks who shot Suraj at the police station. Jagriti names Sajju and calls him to the witness box. Sajju, given a chance by a police officer to save his family by testifying against Kalkant, points directly at Kalkant Thakur in court.
Enraged by Sajju’s defiance, Kalkant erupts, struggling against the police holding him. In a stunning display of authority, Jagriti takes a pair of heavy handcuffs from an officer and marches towards Kalkant. Despite his struggles and furious glares, she calmly removes the smaller, likely temporary, handcuffs and replaces them with the larger, symbolic ones. She holds up the pen he used to sign the illegal documents and, looking him in the eye, declares that she is “Chitta,” and what she says, she does. Playing on his name, she calls him “Kal ka ant” (the end of yesterday), symbolizing the end of his reign of terror.
The judge orders Kalkant’s arrest, stating his punishment will be decided later. As Kalkant is escorted away, glaring fiercely, Jagriti stands firm, her face a mix of tears and unwavering resolve, highlighting her commitment to bring justice for her family, her community, and all those who have suffered under his oppression.
