Ravi and Pankaj were quietly moving in different directions, searching for Meena…
while Vikram too advanced slowly through the dark corridors, trying to find her.
Inside the room…
Shekhar sat down beside Meena on the bed…
…and slowly began running his fingers through her hair.
In another part of the haveli—
The guards had already spotted Ravi and Pankaj.
Without making a sound, they began following them.
Neither Ravi nor Pankaj had any idea…
they had been seen.
And then—
Suddenly—
Both were attacked from behind.
A heavy blow landed on their heads.
Before they could even react…
they were knocked down… captured…
and dragged straight to Vivek Verma.
Vivek shouted in rage—
"How dare you come here?!"
"Guards! Vikram must be nearby too—find him!"
"Vikram will never learn the truth of this haveli!"
"You will all die… and with your deaths… this secret will stay buried forever!"
Inside the room—
Shekhar moved closer to Meena.
She lay unconscious…
helpless…
unable to stop what was about to happen.
Outside—
Vivek snatched a gun from one of the guards…
…and without hesitation—
fired.
The bullet hit Ravi in the leg.
Ravi screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Blood began flowing rapidly from his wound.
Vivek shouted—
"Come out, Vikram!"
"Or today, they die!"
"The next bullet won't hit his leg… it'll go straight through his head!"
Hidden in the shadows—
Vikram watched everything.
His fists were clenched tight…
anger burning inside him…
But he was helpless.
There was no choice left.
Vivek pressed the gun against Ravi's head—
"If you don't come out now… this bullet goes through his skull."
That was it.
Vikram stepped forward.
Slowly…
out of the darkness.
The moment he appeared—
The guards attacked him.
He was overpowered… captured…
and tied up along with Ravi and Pankaj.
Then—
The beating began.
Brutal.
Relentless.
Sticks… rods… kicks…
Ravi was already weak from the gunshot.
Within moments—
his eyes rolled back…
and he lost consciousness.
Pankaj and Vikram groaned in pain…
but were completely helpless.
Inside the room—
Shekhar had already removed Meena's bridal attire…
The HD camera placed in front of the bed…
was recording everything.
Tears filled Vikram's eyes.
He knew what was about to happen to Meena.
But this time…
he couldn't do anything.
On one side—
friendship and duty were breaking apart…
And on the other—
humanity itself was being crushed.
Now the question was—
Will Vikram find a way to save himself and Meena in time…?
Or will Meena suffer the same fate as all the other girls in this haveli…?
And will the truth about this haveli and Vivek ever come out before the world…?
What do you think will happen next?
