Back home, Raahat is incredibly tensed as Zoya hasn’t come home. When Gangaa and Dolly arrive, Raahat feels sorry for Supriya, and asks her to rest. Dolly asks about Zoya, but Raahat says that she hasn’t returned yet. Gangaa offers to go to the bus stand to find out. Raahat complies. Gangaa offers to go, but Raahat insists she rest. But Gangaa is adamant and they both leave.
Sagar is agitated and frustrated and fights with the customer at the Medical Shop, while Rudra comes and asks what’s the matter? He says that he doesn’t know, and Rudra comments that he might be upset as to what he and his family are going through. Sagar says that problems aren’t ending, as one ends and the other starts! He says that he keeps fighting with Gangaa too. Rudra asks him to come along, but Sagar says that he should be with Pulkit.
Rudra says that he needs a change of place, and he will be out for a couple of hours. Sagar resignedly complies, and Rudra takes him.
Rudra gets Sagar to a bar, who is lest interested and totally reluctant to go inside, but Rudra forces him. Sagar is hesitant to drink too, but Rudra asks him to relax and let go of himself, while he wishes to be with Supriya and Pulkit. Their drinks arrive and they both start drinking. Rudra gets a call, and goes out to attend to it.
Raahat is frantically searching for Zoya and Akhtar. She along with Gangaa, go to ask people on the road, and when they don’t get any success, Raahat suspects maybe they didn’t come at all. They then approach the nearest paan wala, from where they get an idea that Zoya and her husband were spotted there earlier in the day, by one of the grocers. They are shocked to know that Zoya and Akhtar landed in benaras, but didn’t get to go home. Raahat finds a broken watch on the road, and recognises it as Zoya’s and shows it to Gangaa. They are both tensed. Raahat is extremely scared.
Sagar gets drunk and inebriated and starts hallucinating Gangaa, approaching him with a smile, and then starts dancing with her on a romantic number. The bartender nudges him awake from his dream, asking if he needs anything else? He denies it, still surprised. Rudra comes apologising, that he got a client’s call. He then pays the bill, and they both leave.
Raahat is increasingly tensed, about the disappearance of Zoya and Akhtar, and the broken watch. They try and assure her that it’s possible she went to meet her friend, but Raahat is unconvinced saying that she would have called, if that were to be the case. They suggest maybe their cell phone’s battery died off! But Gangaa points out that how could it be, that both Zoya and Akhtar’s call
isn’t coming through. Raahat is tensed and suggests that they should get to the Police, to file a missing complaint. Gangaa complies, and they get up to go.
In the middle of the night, just then, Zoya comes totally brusied and wounded and badly battered and clothes torn up, dishevelled and distraught, and they are all shocked and aghast to see her like this. raahat asks her what happened? She is barely able to speak that Akhtar was killed, and she was molested. They are left shocked and stunned into silence. They clutch at her tightly, while she cries and breaks down into uncontrollable tears. They ask her continuously who did this, and she doses off into unconsciousness. They are aghast.
Later, as the hospital fellow takes Akhtar’s dead body away, Zoya is aghast and apalled, and screams not to take him away, as she can’t live without him! They all try to calm her down, but in vain. She is distraught, asking how will she live without him? Raahat somehow tries to console her, begging the lord, why he did so with her daughter, who never meant ill for anyone? The onlookers watch. They carry her inside. Gangaa tries to give her water, while she is in a daze, saddened and shocked. Raahat is apalled to see her like this.
The Police arrives and thet all get tensed. They express their condolences, and says that they know, that this isn’t an oppurtuned time, to bother her, but delay, might lead the culprit to get away, and asks her to help sketch the artist, so that they can nab the guilty. Gangaa asks Zoya if she wants to purnish her husband’s murderer, so that he and she herself could get justice, and asks her to explain the features, whatever she remembers. They nudge and make her confident to speak, while she stands silenced. Then she starts talking, and gets upset. Gangaa asks her questions so that she can answer, all sorts of queries that might provoke her to talk. Raahat is too dazed to talk. Zoya says that she doesn’t know anything, and clutches at Raahat in fear. The Police tries to talk, but Raahat asks him to stop, as her daughter has been through enough, and he wants her to relive her of the trauma, but apologises citing that it’s their work, and asks her to get a medical test done for Zoya tomorrow, for the confirmation of rape. Zoya says that she won’t get anything done, nor do anything. Raahat begs him to try and be considerate, but Gangaa sides with the Inspector, saying that this is the only way for them to catch the monster. Raahat tries to talk to Zoya, saying that Gangaa is right and they need to get this done, so that they can catch the culprit and put him to justice, as they will always be by her side.
A drunk Sagar is brought home by Rudra, who keeps talking about going to meet Pulkit at the hospital. Rudra manages him, and reports that Supriya has come back. He wishes to go to Gangaa then, to talk. Just then, Madhvi comes, and she is tensed to find him like this, and asks where are they coming from? She senses that Sagar is drunk, as he hugs her. Sagar assures her that he is fine. Rudra asks him to go and sleep as he was feeling sleepy. They watch him go to his room. After he has left, Rudra explains to Madhvi, that Sagar was with him, forcibly, as after what happened, with Supriya, Prabha and Gangaa, he was tensed, and should have relaxed. She says that alcohol doesn’t calm him down. Rudra apologises, but begs her not to scold him, as he took him to the bar, since he only meant well. She says that she likes how he cares for Sagar so well, like an elder brother and thanks him. He asks her not to, and assures her that she shouldn’t bother about Sagar, and apologises for bothering her this late. He turns to leave, but she spots blood on his waist. She asks him about it, and if he is hurt? He gets tensed, but composes and says that he is okay, and merely bandaged himself. He retires for the night.
In his room, Rudra takes his shirt out of his pants, and then observes the wound on his waist. With great difficulty, with a knife, he manages to take the shrapnel out, and winces in muffled screams. Ragini comes in and she’s apalled to see this. Her sounds startle Rudra who wasn’t expecting her there. She asks him why he did this, as it must be paining him? He tries hard to explain, saying that a thorn had pricked him, which caused him to get hurt. She says that she got scared. He says that he will bandage it and everything will be okay, but says no one should know about this. But she says that she will tell everyone. He says that Rudra is a brave boy, and he won’t want his wounds to be exposed to the public. She complies, and he puts her to rest.
The next morning, Gangaa and Dolly, and others talk about how they have to divert Zoya’s mind. They find Raahat bringing in Zoya, who is still in a daze. They all gather around her. Raahat asks Gangaa if the criminal that brought this destruction into Zoya’s life would be brought to justice, or would he get to roam around scot free? Gangaa says that if justice still prevails in the world, then the person who ruined Zoya’s life, won’t ever be able to live in peace. Zoya lies in Raahat’s lap, in a daze.
Rudra comes and tries to gather everyone into organising a prayer that he plans to keep for his forefathers. The Priest and others praise him continuously for the same thing. Sagar finds this as a means of getting Supriya active, and despite Pulkit being boggled, he rushes and gets her out, to ask her to participate. After she is gone, he asks what’s the matter? Sagar responds that this is the best way to get her back to her feet. Meanwhile, all the preparations are laid out, when Rudra gathers everyone. Just then, he gets a call, and rudely says that he can’t come, come what may! They are tensed and ask him what’s the matter, and he diverts it saying that it’s work related issue. They then sit down to pray.
Gangaa and Raahat are determined to try and get Zoya back to her feet, and counsel her continuously, and keeps her happy and occupied, so that her mind can be shifted from the tragedy and nightmare that she had to live through. Finally, their efforts pay off, and she agrees to helping the Police.
The Police gets a sketch artist and she gives him directions, and the sketch that he makes, shocks Gangaa completely when she finds out that it’s Rudra’s picture. Later, after the Police had gone, She is still unable to believe it. Raahat is shocked. Gangaa tries to reason Zoya that she might be wrong, but Zoya is adamant and vehement that she can’t be wrong. Gangaa is distraught. She suddenly gets determined and takes her and leaves. Raahat is boggled.
After the completion of the prayer, Sagar and his family are shocked to find Gangaa with Zoya, whom Rudra gets tensed seeing. Zoya is aghast as she eyes Rudra. They are boggled and suspicious too. Gangaa asks her to speak up. Zoya confirms that it’s him! Gangaa asks if she is sure? Zoya comes with Gangaa, and confronts Rudra, recognising him as the man, who did this to her, saying that she can’t make a mistake about identifying the person who ruined her life, killed her husband, and molested her!
Sagar comes and asks Gangaa what’s this nonsense now! Gangaa along with Zoya confrotns rudra and says that Zoya’s criminal is Rudra himself, and that he raped Zoya and also killed her husband. Sagar and Madhvi, along with the rest of the family are shocked to hear this. Rudra stands aghast.
While Rudra tries to talk to Zoya, and Gangaa, Raahat enters with the Police. Amma ji recognises Raahat and wonders how did she land here? The Police says that they will have to arrest Rudra on the ground of possible rape and murder. They’re all shocked. Madhvi begs them to reconsider. Amma ji hopes that no one knows Raahat and that Niranjan shouldn’t at all know she is here, after remembering how they were linked in the past and how they can’t afford Raahat in their lives at all, now that Niranjan is married.
After the Police has gone, Sagar confronts Gangaa, and they start hurling accusations at each other. Sagar continues to try and point out that Rudra hasn’t been proven innocent yet and whether she has any proof implicating him in the crime? Gangaa says that she doesn’t have the right now, but soon enough, she will and she’s determined to get Zoya justice. He too swears that he will prove that Rudra is innocent. Gangaa watches tensedly. Thereafter, she leaves.
Later, Amma ji is in her room, sitting tensedly about Raahat’s sudden apearance. She thinks that Rudra’s mistake shouldn’t implicate her and her family too in all this. She goes out. Meanwhile, in the drawing room, in front of Madhvi and Pulkit, Sagar vows to be by Rudra’s side and help him. Madhvi complies, saying that Rudra has always been by their side, and enumerates various instances when he helped them, and now, they have to reciprocate. Amma ji hears all this.
Pulkit wonders why is Zoya and Gangaa unnecessarily accusing him then, if there is no substance? She comes and says that Pulkit is right, and sits down. She tries to instigate them, saying that they have no clue what Rudra is capable of, and has turned into, after all these years of lost touch. Madhvi asks her if she is doubting him? She says that she merely doesn’t want to complicate things by being involved. Sagar gets frustrated. He asks how can they desert him like that, and not help him? She says that they should, but from the outside, and begs Sagar to think about his father’s reputation, and what they should do, if Rudra’s case is true. He rubbishes it off, saying that he would also side with Rudra.
