Back when he had started the investigation, Detective Sherdil kept stating, "Laal rang mein chupa laal rang." While not many understood what he was hinting at, it was revealed in the very last scene. This traces back to his first time in the house, when he had noticed an unusual red stain on a painting. This was Sherdil's first clue about what could have gone wrong. Slowly but surely, he lets the truth unfold with the actions of the suspects in the case. How did Detective Sherdil find out who really killed Pankaj Bhatti?
Detective Sherdil pressured the suspects by putting them under house arrest. He observed their actions and reactions during the time. Slowly, he built the case and found out what exactly went down on the day of Pankaj Bhatti's murder. It all began with an explosion, but really, a lot happened way before. It started with Bhatti upsetting his greedy family with his changed will.
Chunky Pandey's Bodhi Mama also gave out a huge hint by stating he heard a gunshot from the house. The scenario became clearer when Arjun Tanwar's Purvak started running from the family and went into hiding. He played snitch, and Bhatti confronting his family led to his demise by the most furious family member who hatched the plan in the first place.
She is the least suspected member because of her 'beloved daughter' image, but was the prime example of Bhatti's saying, "Paisa rishton ko bighaad deta hai." Expecting a good share in the will, when she learned that her boyfriend Purvak was named highest in the will, Banita Sandhu's Shanti sought revenge. And she got it by killing her father in fury, while covering it up with the help of her wealthy family. The first clue unlocked the mystery
The biggest clue that unlocked the mystery was Bhatti's driver also being killed. CCTV footage revealed him being taken away by a person in a hoodie. This was the first clue that a partner-in-crime was still in hiding.
The way Purvak took on the murder blame upon him easily was the biggest hint that he was just being framed. That is where Sherdil understood that the partner-in-crime was indeed the helper of the house Falak (Kashmira Irani) who got involved in the murder and helped the wealthy family from outside. Her blaming Purvak simply confirmed his suspicion. And just like that, Sherdil solved the murder mystery from point A to point Z.

Bollywood actor John Abraham , who is receiving a lot of positive response for his recently released streaming movie 'Tehran', has spoken up on the heavy tariffs levied by US President Donald Trump on India, and how they can be countered. The actor, who has a keen interest in geo-politics, has shared that if India wants to soften the blow of the tariffs, then the nation needs to look at the alternative markets for its exports. Talking about how the makers mounted 'Tehran' he said, "Of course, we entered this space with our eyes wide open. I was very confident about what I was getting into. I knew I would face hurdles with the censor board and everyone concerned, but I wanted a voice and to make the film I wanted to make. It was an informed decision, and that's why Tehran happened. We wanted to break down the complexities of Middle Eastern geopolitics for our audiences and explain that what happens in the Middle East has an impact on India or, for that matter, whatever happens in the world has an impact on India". Talking about the tariffs, he said, "Even today, with Trump and his tariffs, a lot of us don't care about 25% or 50%, but yes, they are going to have a massive impact on India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is crazy about it Undo The good news is that we are pretty sound as a country.
