All of them are recovered though Shaheer being slightly injured. During this period both Shehnaz and Safeena feel something fishy about Dabeer. The second attempt of the men to shut their voices was by shooting Safeena but she turns out fine as the bullet only touched her.

Later it is revealed that Safeena, Shehnaz and Yawar(Dabeer's brother) believe that Dabeer is behind all this. Safeena finds out the truth by showing that dumb girl who had once been a victim of sexual abuse, a picture of Dabeer and she confirms it for her. On the other hand, all the men of the town were forced to have their DNA tests done by the police. While on her way back Safeena finds Dabeer going somewhere on his bike, she follows him and then later Samreen is rescued and Dabeer is put in jail.
