The courtroom was packed from corner to corner.
Everyone was desperately waiting for the final judgment of the case.
Even outside the courtroom—
media reporters and cameras had crowded the entire area.
Inside—
Judge sahib was about to announce the verdict.
Complete silence had fallen across the courtroom.
Tears filled Vikram and Meena's eyes…
because even after everything—
they still hadn't been able to present solid proof.
They felt helpless…
as if they knew the truth…
but still couldn't prove it.
The judge began reading the verdict—
Judge: "Vivek Verma and his associates have fraudulently arranged multiple marriages…"
"For this crime, they are sentenced to 4 years imprisonment and fined 2 lakh rupees."
Whispers slowly spread across the courtroom.
Then the judge continued—
Judge: "However… regarding the other accusations related to the haveli…"
"No solid evidence or witness has been presented before the court."
"Therefore, those allegations are considered unproven."
Hearing this—
Vikram lowered his head.
Tears rolled down Meena's face.
People in the courtroom started whispering among themselves…
The noise slowly began increasing.
Judge: "Order… Order… Everyone maintain silence."
Then the judge prepared to continue the verdict—
Meanwhile—
Vivek, Shekhar, and the others had smiles on their faces.
That smile was meant to humiliate Vikram.
Just then—
Vivek's lawyer Adarsh stood up.
Adarsh: "Your Honor…"
"This man has thrown mud on my client's reputation…"
"What punishment should he receive for that?"
"Yes, my clients arranged some marriages, and they are already being punished for it…"
"But what about the other accusations…?"
"The accusations that were never proven?"
The courtroom suddenly became noisy again.
People started talking loudly among themselves.
Even Shekhar had a crooked smile on his face.
Judge: "Order… Order…"
Then the judge announced—
Judge: "Inspector Vikram is fined 1 lakh rupees for making serious allegations against respected individuals without solid evidence."
Now—
the judge was just about to sign the order—
When suddenly—
"Please stop, sir… don't do this!"
The entire courtroom instantly turned toward the voice.
Everyone looked toward the entrance.
Komal was standing there.
The judge looked at her—
Judge: "Who are you? And why are you interrupting the verdict?"
Komal slowly walked forward.
Her voice was trembling—
Komal: "Sir… I am a witness in this case…"
"I have come to tell the truth…"
Silence filled the courtroom once again.
Judge: "Where were you till now?"
Tears filled Komal's eyes—
Komal: "Sir… I was scared…"
"Scared for my dignity… for my family…"
"I was scared that if the truth came out… my life would be destroyed…"
"I was scared my in-laws would throw me out of the house…"
"And I was scared whether my husband would still accept me after knowing the truth…"
The case was extremely serious.
So the judge allowed her to testify.
He called her to the witness box.
As Komal stepped forward—
the color drained from Vivek, Shekhar, and the others' faces.
For the first time—
fear was visible in their eyes.
They understood—
things were slipping out of control.
Komal began speaking—
Komal: "Sir… on the night of my wedding…"
"After all the guests had left…"
"in the name of rituals…"
"my husband was taken to a separate room…"
"and I was taken somewhere else…"
"Rukmani gave me milk…"
"She told me I was tired… and asked me to drink it and sleep…"
"I drank it…"
"After some time… I started feeling sleepy…"
"But I wasn't completely unconscious…"
Komal's voice slowly started breaking.
Her hands trembled badly.
At that moment—
Meena walked toward her and held her hand.
She gave Komal the courage to continue speaking.
Komal continued—
Komal: "As my eyes started closing… and they thought I was fully unconscious…"
"Then…"
"MLA Sunil entered the room…"
The entire courtroom fell silent.
Nobody had the courage to say a word.
Tears rolled down Komal's face.
Komal: "He… did something to me…"
"Something I had never even imagined…"
"He is the same age as my father…"
"And still… he felt no shame…"
The moment she said this—
Komal broke down crying.
Her voice stopped.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
The judge spoke softly—
Judge: "Do not be afraid… tell the court the truth."
Meena once again held Komal's hand tightly.
She supported her.
Meena whispered softly—
Meena: "Don't be afraid… now is the time to speak the truth."
Every eye inside the courtroom was now fixed on Komal.
And on the other side—
for the very first time—
Vivek and his associates were truly terrified.
Now only one question remained—
Will Komal be able to reveal the entire truth?
And—
Will her testimony finally expose the horrifying reality hidden inside the haveli?
But sitting quietly inside the courtroom—
Salma and her family were still waiting for justice.
Because in their hearts…
only one question still remained—
Why was Salim Darji killed?
What do you think will happen next?
