The events of August 24th, 2024, unfolded with eerie tension in a small village, leaving the community in shock. What began as a day of excitement for Mishri’s brother and his friends, who had planned a surprise for the groom, quickly turned into a nightmare. They led the groom and others to the infamous khandar, a place believed to have been cleansed of its haunting by the dayaan. The group, driven by the excitement of the moment, decided to reclaim the space for the villagers, believing it to be safe now.

Despite the reluctance of some, Mishri’s brother insisted they enter the khandar. They began to enjoy their time, sharing drinks and jokes, but their merriment was abruptly cut short. A sudden gust of wild wind extinguished the lanterns and torches, plunging them into darkness. Panic began to set in, but it was too late for them to escape the horror that awaited.

Meanwhile, back in the village, Abhimanyu returned home, only to be greeted by Preeti, who informed him that Machharji was missing from his room. The couple soon spotted him walking aimlessly in the distance. Abhimanyu rushed to bring him back, only for Machharji to collapse again. Despite his attempts to speak, his words were garbled by a seizure, but Abhimanyu could make out the phrase “Pra Dayaan.” This left him confused, especially as he was sure that Bindu, the supposed cause of the villagers’ fear, was securely behind bars. Preeti called for a doctor, who confirmed that Machharji had suffered a panic attack, and administered an injection to calm him.

At the same time, Mishri’s parents and in-laws were growing increasingly worried. The groom had vanished, and they were desperate to find him. Their worst fears were confirmed when a child informed them that he overheard Anand and Gagan discussing a visit to the dayaan’s khandar. Filled with dread, they hurried to the khandar, only to be met with a horrifying sight: all the boys and men, including the groom, were found hanging dead, their heads twisted in an unnatural manner.

The scene at the khandar was one of chaos and despair when Abhimanyu arrived. The villagers, overwhelmed with grief and anger, turned on him, blaming him for the deaths. They shook him violently, demanding answers that he couldn’t provide. The haunting words of Bindu echoed in Abhimanyu’s mind: “In the next 10 years, Kayamat ki Raat will come, and you will be blamed for the deaths.” Bindu had warned him to stay away, but now, standing amidst the carnage, Abhimanyu realized the gravity of the situation.

Despite the villagers’ hostility, Abhimanyu maintained his composure. He ordered the constables to summon the forensic team and ensure that the bodies were sent for post-mortem. He took full responsibility for uncovering the truth behind the mysterious deaths, despite knowing that the villagers would hold him accountable. He instructed the constables to examine the area carefully, believing that the dayaan’s curse might still be at play. Abhimanyu suspected that while Bindu was incarcerated, another sinister force, possibly Pablo, could be involved in these gruesome events.

As the episode drew to a close, blood was seen trickling down Bindu’s eyes, a chilling omen that the terror was far from over.

The tragic events of August 24th, 2024, left the village in mourning, as the shadow of the dayaan loomed larger than ever before. Abhimanyu’s quest for the truth had only just begun, but the fear and suspicion among the villagers hinted at more dark times ahead.
