Her classmates then suspect Manjari and is constantly questioned. This pushes her further to figure out the murder. Meanwhile, the police go through Avantika’s social media posts and come across terrible comments passed by a guy called Rajesh. Just then Manjari comes to the station and informs Rajesh asking about Avantika’s whereabouts on the day of the murder. The police link Rajesh with the case and arrest him.
Upon investigation, it is evident that Rajesh has shot Avantika with his father’s revolver. The reason behind the murder is understood that after passing abusive comments on Avantika’s posts, Rajesh has been bullied and forced to apologise to Avantika. Since he felt insulted, he decided to take revenge. Rajesh is then imprisoned, releasing Vikas and Sunil. However, Sunil and his friends are suspended for a month while Vikas is allowed to college due to his politician father’s power.
The episode, as usual, concludes with Vikrant Massey educating the viewers that it is best not to take hate comments to one’s head but to brush it off because life is too good to worry about all these.
Crimes Aaj Kal Episode 7 Final Thoughts
The episode once again revolves around social media, and the show starts to feel like almost everything is going to be around this theme. If so, then they should have titled the show with some other name. This episode didn’t pull off well because, yes, hate comments are terrible, but the storyline took a different route. But apart from these, the show is delivering promising content with a good cast, cinematography, and message.
Crimes Aaj Kal is streaming on Amazon miniTV.
