The climax came one stormy night when Praveen decided to confront Rupa at her home. The rain was a relentless companion as he knocked on her door. The house was dark except for one flickering light. Inside, he found Rupa, her demeanor calm yet her eyes wide with fear

The inspector's next stop was Vikram's office, where he found a diary locked in a secret drawer. Inside, scrawled notes hinted at blackmail, affairs, and hidden transactions. One name kept recurring - Rupa. Not as a conspirator, but as someone Vikram was wary of, someone he believed was plotting against him.

Back at the police station, Praveen laid out the evidence on his desk, piecing together a narrative where Rupa could be both victim and villain. The insurance policy was a significant motive, but was it enough? He decided to delve deeper into Rupa’s background, only to find she had a sister, Meera, who was estranged from Vikram due to a failed business venture that left her bankrupt and bitter.

Praveen visited Meera, who lived in a modest apartment, a stark contrast to her brother's lavish lifestyle. She was defensive, her voice laced with venom when speaking of Vikram. "He ruined my life," she spat, "but I wouldn't stoop to murder." Yet, the more Praveen dug, the more he realized the threads of this case were tangled. Meera had an alibi, but Rupa's movements on the night of the murder were suspiciously vague. 

The climax came one stormy night when Praveen decided to confront Rupa at her home. The rain was a relentless companion as he knocked on her door. The house was dark except for one flickering light. Inside, he found Rupa, her demeanor calm yet her eyes wide with fear. "Inspector, I didn't kill him," Rupa said, her voice steady. "But I know who did."

Before Praveen could react, a shadow moved from the corner of the room. It was Meera, holding the gun that killed Vikram. "He deserved it," Meera hissed, her face contorted with years of suppressed rage.

With Meera in custody, the pieces fell into place. She had used Rupa’s involvement with the insurance policy as part of her alibi, knowing Rupa's reputation would be tarnished, yet the real motive was revenge. Praveen left the scene, the storm outside matching the tempest within, knowing that sometimes, justice and vengeance walk the same path.
