10:29 Ki Aakhri Dastak
On August 13, 2024, the tension escalated in the ongoing saga of 10:29 Ki Aakhri Dastak. The episode opens with Abhimanyu, a key character, confronting Pablo over the dangerous drug business that seems to be at the heart of the chaos surrounding the village. Abhimanyu, determined to put an end to the illegal activities, threatens Pablo, hoping to extract a confession or some crucial information.
The next morning, the atmosphere is heavy with fear and uncertainty. Chachaji, a character who had been abducted by a dayaan (witch), is seen sitting quietly, his demeanor one of trauma. He appears lost in his thoughts, recalling the terrifying moment of his abduction. His niece, Preeti, tries to comfort him, offering him food, but he remains unresponsive, clearly shaken by the ordeal. Abhimanyu, seeing his condition, urges Chachaji to testify in court. He wants Chachaji to confirm that he saw Pablo and his accomplice dealing drugs, which would significantly help Abhimanyu’s case. However, Chachaji, still traumatized, refuses, claiming he saw nothing and knows nothing. Preeti intervenes, scolding Abhimanyu for pressing the matter and insisting that Chachaji should not be troubled until he recovers fully.
The episode then shifts to a tense conversation between Abhimanyu and his mother. She expresses her dissatisfaction with the current situation, criticizing Abhimanyu for how he handled things with Preeti. She feels uncomfortable staying in the house any longer, hinting at her desire to leave. Abhimanyu, realizing his mistake, tries to calm her down. He agrees that he shouldn’t have pressured Chachaji and reassures her that they need to stay until the case is resolved.
Meanwhile, Pablo, the antagonist, is faced with a pressing problem. He receives a call informing him that if he doesn’t deliver certain materials, his consignment will be canceled. Frustrated, he instructs his aide to delay the deliveries until they can find a suitable location for their lab. As this unfolds, the villagers, terrified by the recent death of Shastrini, gather around Pablo. They express their fears, now that Shastrini, who they believed was their protector from the dayaan, is dead. The villagers ask who will now seal the door of the khandar (ruins), a place believed to be cursed and haunted by the dayaan.
Pablo seizes this opportunity, quickly concocting a plan to run his drug operation from the khandar, a place that no one dares to visit due to its haunted reputation. He tries to calm the villagers, promising them that he will have the khandar sealed by the most prominent priest in the country. However, his true intention is to use the secluded and feared location to further his illegal drug trade without interference.
Abhimanyu, relentless in his pursuit of justice, calls his superior to request a search warrant against Daddyji, who he suspects is deeply involved in the drug operation. However, his superior dismisses the request, stating that without solid proof, no warrant can be issued. He warns Abhimanyu that attempting to proceed without authorization will lead to his suspension. Despite this setback, Abhimanyu is undeterred. He orders Machhar Singh to obtain the postmortem report and decides to expose the truth to the villagers. He is convinced that the recent murders are not the work of a dayaan but are instead orchestrated by Pablo, using the dayaan myth as a cover for his crimes. Abhimanyu then takes a moment to apologize to Preeti for his previous actions, recognizing that he may have been too harsh.
In another part of the episode, Abhimanyu’s superior, Dashrath, is seen drinking with Pablo. He assures Pablo that the drug issue has been removed from Abhimanyu’s mind and advises him to relax. However, Pablo, clearly agitated, retorts that he cannot relax, especially after his partner was brutally murdered and beheaded. He admits to Dashrath that while he has indeed killed people in the village to maintain his drug business under the guise of the dayaan, the recent murder of Shastri seems to have a different motive. This unsettles Pablo, who then instructs Dashrath to find the woman Abhimanyu saw at the khandar. Pablo plans to kill her to tie up any loose ends and put an end to the entire saga.
As the episode concludes, the tension remains high. The characters are entangled in a web of deception, fear, and crime, with the mysterious murders adding to the suspense. Abhimanyu’s resolve to uncover the truth, Pablo’s ruthless strategies to protect his drug empire, and the villagers’ growing fear of the unknown all contribute to the gripping narrative. The unfolding drama promises more twists and challenges as the story progresses.
