After sometime, Rajveer’s assistant calls him, he told him that food Inspector Rekha Raghwan has officially visited one of his factories & she has collected some samples of different spices & the colors, used by them. She had collected these samples for a test. Rajveer was
shocked. Rajveer immediately calls Rishab Surya. He asked him about the sudden visit of food Inspector Rekha raghwan, because it was for the first time when Food Department had sent someone for the test of a product produced by ‘King Spices’. Rishab told him that from now onwards, he will never approve any adulterated product because he has realized that it’s a great sin to approve adulterated products & deliver such harmful products to market.

All these businessmen use to produce adulterated food products & Rekha & her team were going to expose them according to the instructions given by Rishab Surya.

Garima was shocked when she came to know that her parents use to produce adulterated Spices, which was considered as a crime in Sakhapur. She was stuck in a situation where, she wanted to support her sister & at the same time, she was feeling disturbed after reading the news. Suddenly Radhika entered in the room, she informed Garima that Police Department has arrested their parents, under 'food adulteration' charges. She showed a online news article to Garima.

Radhika was representing her nation in an international tournament & she didn’t wanted to loose this opportunity. Garima immediately calls some of her relatives. She spoke to them about the situation in Sakhapur. her relatives motivated Radhika & advised her to concentrate on her tournament. Some of Radhika relatives promised her that they will handle the situation at Sakhapur & she need not to be worried about her
parents. Garima was sure that ‘King Spices’ can never produce adulterated products, she thought that all the news about her brother’s company is fake & baseless. Radhika performed exceptionally well in every round & after all the hard work, she reached in the finals.
