Inspector Vikram was now taking this case even more seriously.
But the more he tried to solve it…
the more complicated it seemed to become.
By now, one thing was absolutely clear —
Salim and his family were innocent.
And yet…
there was no solid proof to establish it…
no trace of the real culprit.
The atmosphere inside the police station had changed.
Ravi and Pankaj were now completely immersed in the case.
Files were scattered across the table…
photos… reports… statements…
and still…
no evidence.
Ravi said in frustration —
"Sir… even after all this, we still don't have a single solid proof…"
Pankaj added —
"No witnesses… no direct link… it's as if someone planned everything and wiped it clean…"
Vikram remained silent.
His eyes were fixed on the file lying on the table…
but his mind was elsewhere.
He finally spoke —
"When a crime is this clean…
it means someone has planned it very carefully…"
Just then, a faint sound came from outside the station.
A woman walked in.
Her face looked distressed…
her eyes filled with both fear and anger.
Ravi stepped forward.
"Yes, ma'am… tell us, what's the problem?"
The woman spoke slowly —
"Sir… I got married just a few months ago…"
"After the marriage, I found out…
that this is my husband's second marriage…"
Ravi and Pankaj exchanged glances.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued —
"He still meets his first wife…
and when I try to stop him… he beats me…"
Ravi immediately began writing her complaint.
"Which village are you from?"
"Bada Undwa…"
Ravi paused for a moment.
"Who arranged your marriage?"
The moment she answered…
the entire room seemed to freeze.
"Vivek Verma."
Ravi's hand stopped mid-writing.
Pankaj looked at him instantly.
A few moments later…
Ravi walked straight into Vikram's cabin.
In a serious tone, he said —
"Sir… a new matter has come up… and it might be connected to this case."
He explained everything.
Vikram listened without interrupting.
Then he leaned back slowly in his chair.
Pieces began connecting in his mind —
Poor girls getting married…
Vivek's "savior" image…
The haveli…
Salim's fear…
And now… this new case…
Inside his mind, a thought echoed —
"This cannot be the work of just one person…"
He slowly stood up.
There was no doubt in his eyes anymore…
only suspicion.
"Vivek Verma…"
"He is not as simple as he appears…"
Ravi asked,
"Sir… do you think he's behind all this?"
Vikram didn't answer directly.
"It's too early to say anything…"
"But one thing is certain…"
He said slowly —
"In his haveli… it's not just weddings that take place…"
"…something else is happening there."
Silence filled the room.
Vikram picked up the file…
and shut it firmly on the table.
"Now it's time… to bring the truth out."
"Even if it means entering that haveli…
or going against powerful people…"
He looked at Ravi and Pankaj.
"Salim will get justice."
"And this time… no one will escape."
Outside, the night was growing darker…
But the truth hidden in that darkness…
would not remain hidden for long.
And one question lingered in the air —
Was Vivek Verma truly a savior of the poor…
or was something far more dangerous hiding inside his haveli…
a secret that could shake the entire village?
What do you think, what is the real truth, Who plans Salim's murder and why.... ? What will happen next?
