The episode opens with Raghav stopping Abhay from hitting Anjali. He reminds Abhay that Anjali is the Rajput family’s daughter-in-law and deserves respect. Raghav pleads with Anjali to return home, saying Padma isn’t there.
Anjali refuses and accuses Raghav, Abhay, and Aarti of taking Padma away, citing Kali’s statement. Ved interrupts, swearing on Aarti that Kali is lying, but Anjali remains unconvinced.
Soon, Pankaj calls Anjali and informs her that Padma is missing and Bhajan has lodged a police complaint against her. Shocked, Anjali ends the call in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Chandraman meets Pankaj and discusses Bhajan’s false case diary against Anjali. He and Bhajan allege that Anjali extorted Rs 20 lakhs from Yuvraj’s family. Pankaj calls it a conspiracy, which Chandraman openly admits, challenging him to stop it.
At the Rajput house, Abhay stops Anjali from leaving and sends Aarti and Ved to invite her to their wedding. Anjali scolds Aarti for marrying while Padma is missing, but Aarti stays silent. Raghav cruelly tells Anjali to attend the wedding only to “eat food,” mocking her as a beggar. Furious, Anjali lashes out at him.

Later, Chandraman pressures Pankaj to hide Rs 20 lakhs in Anjali’s house during a raid to frame her. When Pankaj refuses, Chandraman threatens to expose him for helping Satya, who was later killed. Left helpless, Pankaj finally agrees — unaware a hidden camera has recorded everything.
Anjali receives a call from Krishna Chaudhary, who admits he lies in court as a fake witness. Disgusted, Anjali warns him against such crimes but asks him to help find Padma instead. Krishna agrees.
Back at the basti, Anjali learns that police raided her house and found Rs 20 lakhs. Reporters swarm her, accusing her of blackmail and kidnapping Padma. Ganesh and Chandraman publicly humiliate her as Anjali stands shocked and betrayed.
