Prithvi's parents also suspect Navin, and the police suspect him as well because there is already tension between the families. After Prithvi's grandfather's death, a large portion of the property was transferred to Prithvi's name, with nothing in Navin's name. Before Navin accepts the truth, the police beat him brutally, but he still sticks to his statement.

Meanwhile, Shankar is also considered a suspect by the police, but he denies any involvement with complete confidence. Shankar lives with his wife, younger brother, sister-in-law, and their son Vivek. Shankar scolds Vivek for wasting his time playing with friends, which has caused him to fail twice in the 10th grade. Shankar tries to help him improve.
Some time later, Prithvi's homework note is found hanging from a tree near his house. The police investigate and find a message written in Hindi demanding ten lakhs (one million) rupees. Before this, Prithvi's father had revealed that Shankar had previously demanded a loan of fifteen lakhs (one and a half million) rupees, which they had refused. The police arrive at Shankar's house with a search warrant.
During the search, the police find Prithvi's body in Shankar's storage room. Shankar and his wife Rupa are arrested, and the investigation begins. During the investigation, the police also find out that Vivek had once attempted su!c!de due to Shankar's constant scolding. Shankar admits that Vivek had stolen one thousand rupees from him, after which he had beaten him up.
