In the last episode, Alia and Ratna tracked the killer down to the college. While they were interviewing suspects there another student, Meenakshi, turned up dead on the roof. Alia worked out that the killer must have thrown her off the roof and then dragged her back up to the top so she was looking at the flag of India. And beforehand Meenakshi had been stopped from coming forward to the police by her friend Faisal. Circling on the killer's motive and MO, Alia and Ratna turn their attention to Faisal.
