Stars : Pankaj Tripathi, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla Mandira puts Ira on the stand in a closed court and Madhav is able to get her to tell the court the secret she and Anju have been hiding, which is that Ira was responsible for breaking the award in which the scalpel was embedded. Trying to sneak up on Roshni, Ira startled her leading to the award falling from the shelf. Roshni then put the scalpel on the shelf while cleaning up the rest of the broken pieces. Madhav then puts Anju on the stand. He hypothesizes that Anju, thinking that Roshni would not show up in the morning to give Ira her meds, went to Raj's flat only to see that Roshni spiking the milk with the diabetic medicine. Roshni still in shock over her forced abortion and thinking that she was losing Raj, was poisoning Ira so she could come closer to the family as her caretaker. In the ensuing scuffle, Anju accidentally cut Roshni's jugular leading to her death. Anju's confesses to the events as described by Madhav. Raj is set free and Anju goes to prison. A few months later, Raj and Ira visit Madhav to pay his fee's and Raj informs him that Anju is dying from stage 4 pancreatic cancer and has been moved to palliative care on compassionate grounds. Raj has stopped practicing, finding himself unable to hold a scalpel. This sets Madhav into thinking. He visits Anju at the hospice and asks her to tell him what really happened. Anju tells him that everything happened as he hypothesized except that it was Raj who accidentally killed Roshni. Anju was aware that she had cancer and did not have long to live so, using her brilliant legal mind, she colluded with Raj to take the blame. She deliberately tampered with Kamala and also instructed Mandira to put Ira on the stand, setting herself up to take the blame so that Ira would have one parent to take care of her. As Madhav walks away, he meets Raj and cryptically tells him that his salvation is possible if he picks up the scalpel again. As Anju meets her family, Madhav who has recorded Anju's confession on tape, deletes the recording and walks away with a smile.
