Meanwhile, while trying to woo Aarthi, Suraj starts ignoring Poonam but Poonam who is not aware of 2 facts that Suraj never ever fell in love with him and that presently he is also trying to make Aarthi trust him blindly, invites Suraj to her room in the hotel where she dances to celebrate her birthday. But the same night she gets murdered. Aarthi who is very keen and enthusiastic to become a detective herself is put on an operation by Ravi to provide evidence that Suraj is involved in the murder of Poonam and to start collecting evidence but convinces Aarthi to not inform DIG Sharma or any police inspector about this.
