Shobha got apprehensive recalling the fact that Bheemdev had asked her to hurriedly leave in the middle of their practice session.

Believing that Mamta's mother must have misunderstood Bheemdev, Gayatri Devi tries to clear her suspicion. However, Mamta's mother pays no need to the queen's words.

Just before Shobha could reveal the truth to Gayatri Devi, Bheemdev confesses the crime. Shobha and Gayatri Devi are shocked on hearing Bheemdev's confession.

After hearing the confession, the construction workers try their best to pressurize Gayatri Devi to punish Bheemdev. However, Bhanuman handles the situation. He states that Gayatri Devi cannot punish Bheemdev in Dadda Chalukya's absence, since Bheemdev is not the resident of Bharuch and is merely their guest. He adds that the punishment would be announced after Dadda's return.

Mamta's mother agrees with Bhanuman's suggestion. She adds that she will not conduct Mamta's last rites until she gets justice.

Gayatri Devi orders the soldiers to keep Bheemdev in confinement.

Shobha believes that she was the one responsible for Mamta's death. Her suspicion gets confirmed when she overhears Indumati and Bhanuman's conversation. Shobha realizes that Bheemdev took the blame of Mamta's death on himself since he wanted to save her from punishment.

It is later revealed that Indumati and Bhanuman had noticed Shobha approaching there and deliberately narrated the story of how Bheemdev's arrow passed through the target and injured Mamta. Bhanumaan paints a gory picture of how Bheemdev would be punished now.

Indumati and Bhanuman feign concern for Bheemdev and state that Dadda will not spare the prince. Bhanuman believes that this may lead to war between Dadda and Vallabhdev. He also adds that Mahmud Ghaznavi and Rudrabhadra would take advantage of their situation. Shobha gets terrified on hearing the statement.

Shobha secretly goes to meet Bheemdev and tells the prince that she is aware of the truth. She adds that she will reveal the truth to Dadda before Bheemdev gets punished.

Bheemdev overhears Gayatri Devi standing outside the chamber and asks Shobha to be quiet.

Adinath is surprised to see that Gayatri Devi, who had punished Bheemdev, is now taking meal for him. He assures the queen that as per the rules of their kingdom, they cannot punish Bheemdev. Shobha believes that Dadda will not spare Bheemdev and would take some action against him.
