Today’s episode of Jagriti begins with a tense morning at Jagriti and Rohan’s home. Jagriti is standing by the window, holding a piece of paper with a look of deep concern. Rohan walks in, sensing her distress, and asks what’s troubling her. She hands him the paper, which turns out to be a legal notice. Vikram, furious about Jagriti’s public campaign against his company, has filed a defamation lawsuit against her. Rohan tries to reassure her, telling her it’s just a tactic to scare her into silence. But Jagriti’s resolve only hardens. She tells Rohan that she will not back down, declaring that her fight is for all the people whose lives have been ruined by Vikram’s illegal factory operations.
The scene then shifts to Vikram’s lavish office. He is on the phone with his lawyer, laughing boastfully. He instructs his lawyer to spare no expense and to ensure Jagriti is humiliated in court. Just as he hangs up, his mother, Mrs. Singh, enters the room. She has heard about the lawsuit and is clearly unhappy. She confronts Vikram, questioning the need to attack a young woman who is fighting for justice. Vikram dismisses her concerns with arrogance, stating that Jagriti is a threat to their business empire and that he will crush anyone who gets in his way. Disappointed by his coldness, Mrs. Singh warns him that his unchecked power is making him blind and that he will live to regret his actions, before walking out.
Later, Jagriti meets with Inspector Sharma at a small, discreet tea stall. The Inspector, working off the books, tells her he has a potential breakthrough. He has found a former employee of Vikram’s factory, a man named Suresh, who is willing to testify. Suresh was fired after an accident at the factory that he had warned management about. Inspector Sharma cautions Jagriti that Suresh is terrified, as Vikram’s men are actively searching for him to ensure his silence. Jagriti, seeing a ray of hope, agrees to meet the witness immediately.
The meeting is set at a dark and deserted warehouse. As Jagriti and Rohan arrive, an eerie silence hangs in the air. Suresh is nowhere to be seen, and a sense of dread begins to creep in. Their fears are confirmed when they hear a vehicle approaching. Hiding behind some crates, they watch in horror as two of Vikram’s goons drag an unconscious Suresh out of a van and dump him on the floor. The goons discuss their orders from Vikram, which were to make sure Suresh never speaks to anyone again.
Realizing there’s no time to wait for the police, Jagriti decides to act. She creates a loud diversion by toppling a stack of metal barrels. As the goons turn to investigate the noise, Rohan lunges at one of them. Jagriti uses pepper spray on the other, and a chaotic fight breaks out. Rohan bravely fights them off, but he is outnumbered. Just as one of the goons raises a heavy pipe to strike him, the warehouse doors fly open. Inspector Sharma and his police team storm in, sirens blaring. The goons are quickly apprehended. Jagriti rushes to Suresh’s side as paramedics are called. Before losing consciousness again, Suresh weakly whispers to her about a file hidden in his old locker at the factory—a file that contains all the evidence against Vikram.
The final scene takes place at the hospital. The doctor informs Jagriti, Rohan, and Inspector Sharma that Suresh is in stable condition but will be unconscious for a while. Inspector Sharma explains that although the goons confessed to working for Vikram, this verbal confession is not enough to arrest a man of his power. They need hard proof. Remembering the witness’s last words, Jagriti’s face fills with a new determination. She looks at Rohan and the Inspector and says, “He mentioned a file. A file with evidence. We have to find it.” The episode ends on a close-up of Jagriti’s determined face, ready for the next phase of her battle.
