Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Update: Gayatri reveals Angad, Pari and Ritik are not Tulsi and Mihir's biological kids after Angad gets arrested
The latest episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 starts with police reaching the Shanti Niketan to arrest Angad. Mihir, Tulsi and the entire family ask the Inspector the reason behind arresting Angad and he reveals that they are arresting him for drink and drive. He further reveals that the blood test reports also prove that he was drunk while driving and caused the accident. But Angad denies the allegations and requests him parents to believe him. Tulsi refuses to trust him after hearing about the blood test reports and starts beating him. However, Mihir supports Angad but the cops arrest him and take to the police station. At the police station, Angad tells his parents that he wasn't the one driving the car and that his friend Sameer was behind the wheel, also claiming he wasn't drunk. While Mihir believes his version of the story, Tulsi remains doubtful and doesn't trust his words. When Tulsi calls Sameer, he lies and puts the entire blame on Angad. As Tulsi rushes from the police station disappointed, she bumps into a stranger who is there with a hidden motive. At home Tulsi is worried about Angad when Gayatri starts taunting him about not raising him well. However, Mihir defends Tulsi and says he is to be blamed equally as raising a child is both mother and father's responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Quinta Normal: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Furthermore, Gayatri shares that only Hemant, her son could have got Angad bail but he has already left for the US. Just then Hemant steps in to help Angad. Hemant cancels all his important meetings to support the family during the crisis. Just as Mihir is about to sign the bail papers arranged by Hemant, Tulsi intervenes. She firmly stops him and reminds everyone of the Virani family's values and principles, insisting that Angad, whom she still considers guilty, does not deserve to be granted bail. Mihir, who wants to get Angad released on bail doesn't agree with her thoughts and argues with her to think about the situation as mother. Just then Gayatri taunts Tulsi for not being Angad's real mother. She reveals that Angad, Pari and Ritik are not Mihir and Tulsi's biological kids. She shares that they are Kesar's children and Tulsi adopted them after her sister passed away. The other two children stand up for their mother, insisting that she has always treated them all with equal love and fairness. As emotions run high within the family, Tulsi quietly turns to prayer, hoping for some light in the midst of the turmoil. Meanwhile, a new Maharashtrian family is introduced. A young member of this family is shown protecting a plant from the heavy rain—just like Tulsi is doing at Shanti Niketan. It is shown that the CCTV footage of the accident was deleted to protect Angad's friend, Sameer, from going to jail. The Mumbai traffic police officer who helped with this turns out to be the brother of the Maharashtrian girl. The episode comes to an end. Inside pics!

Police probe Karad link with cellphone nabbed from Beed jail inmate
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Shivajinagar police have registered an FIR and are looking into whether a cellphone recovered from an inmate of Beed district prison on July 22 was previously used by Valmik Karad, prime accused in the murder of Beed sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. The police on Thursday registered the FIR under sections 43 and 45(12) of the Prisons Act, 1894, and Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Assistant Police Inspector Gajanan Kshirsagar is heading the investigation. At 5.15 pm on July 22, the cellphone was seized during random frisking of the inmate, Rafiq Khurshid Syed (25), who is in judicial custody in connection with a case registered with the Majalgaon police. The handset did not contain a SIM card. Prison constable Govind Bhalerao filed a complaint with the Shivajinagar police, alleging that Syed violated prison riles by using the cellphone on the prison's premises. There are claims that the cellphone might have been used by Karad, who is lodged in the same prison and is awaiting trial. Shiv Sena (UBT) functionary Ambadas Danve recently alleged that a person received a call from Karad while he was in jail. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo NCP MLA Suresh Dhas also claimed that the cellphone belonged to Karad. Beed Superintendent of Police Navneet Kanwat told TOI, "Efforts are underway to ascertain if calls were made using this cellphone, and if yes, to whom? The second-most important question is how the phone entered the prison. We are going to investigate each of the aspects related to this case." Sources said the cellphone's IMEI number has been shared with the Beed cyber cell, and both call detail records (CDR) and subscriber detail records (SDR) have been requested for forensic analysis. Santosh Deshmukh's brother, Dhananjay, has demanded a full call trace report of the device to determine whether any illegal communications were made, especially on July 10. While no SIM card was present when the mobile was seized, authorities believe it could still hold valuable forensic evidence of past usage. The probe is focusing on whether prison staffers were complicit in smuggling the phone inside and if there was any attempt to destroy or remove the SIM card prior to seizure.
