The CDI files a closure report in the Ghaziabad court naming the parents as prime suspects, but the evidence is insufficient to prosecute. Both investigative teams, with opposing hypotheses, make their cases to the CDI chief. The CDI gives the case to a new investigative team led by Kumar's former superior, Paul, who concludes that the parents committed the murders. This leads to an altercation between the two officers, which results in Kumar's suspension. ACP Vedant, eager to receive a promotion, begins working against Kumar. As Kumar is about to conclude his investigation, his senior officer retires and is replaced by a new CDI chief. Kumar exonerates the parents on 22 June 2008, and Ramesh is released from jail. His team uses narco tests in their attempt to prove that the assistant (and two accomplices) committed the murders. He believes that the parents are innocent, and methodically builds a case against the father's resentful assistant. Kumar is contemptuous of the sloppy first responders, who botched the initial crime-scene investigation.

The victim blaming of Shruti leads to public outrage, and the case is given to Joint Director Ashwin Kumar of the Central Department of Investigation (CDI) and ACP Vedant. The police chief organises a press conference, at which he says that Ramesh murdered Shruti and Khempal after he found them in a compromising position attributing this to honour killing. On 25 March, the Noida police arrest Ramesh for the murders. They begin to suspect the Tandons, and declare the murders a clear case of honour killing. The police question Kanhaiya, Khempal's close friend and the Tandons' assistant who says that Khempal might have been involved in a sexual relationship with Shruti. The local police initially look for Khempal, the missing servant but his decomposed body is later found on the terrace of the building where the Tandons live.
