A series of incidents follow which help Nandini prove her claims, Aniket discovered her strategy and took her to his team.

But Nandini claims to have been at her hostel the entire day as she was suffering from a mild fever. Kripa Babu settles the tension between both of them and they finally set out for their destination in heavy rain and thunderstorm. All of them finally visit the village and find out reasons about the unexplainable incidents which eventually is related to ghosts of small kids from school. Nandini claimed to see a little girl, Mini, who had also died in the incident, and this girl had been guiding her all way long. This convinces Aniket and Kripa Babu of Nandini's abilities. They find out that one of the headmaster's ex-student, Robin Babu, had planned to renovate the terrace of the school, but the roof unfortunately does not get build strong enough because of faulty materials. One rainy day, the headmaster had punished 6 kids for not preparing their lessons, and asked them to stay on the terrace in the drenching downpour. But, to his horror, just as he goes to leave them, the roof breaks down and eventually the children die. This was completely left unresolved by the villagers. The team, with major help from Nandini, solves the mystery and frees the village from the curse of the kids.
