Upon witnessing the commotion and being told his daughter is missing, he collapses, overwhelmed by memories. Shocking Truths in the Post-Mortem Report!
Prasadarao, who had doted on Swathi (Vasanthika) since birth, was initially reluctant to send her to Hyderabad for a job. With the help of her uncles, Swathi, who found it hard to communicate confidently with her father, eventually convinced him to let her take a software job. After completing her first month, she hoped to hand her first salary to her father and show him how brave she had become. However, on the day she was to receive her salary, she became very dejected and went missing that evening. Prasadarao eventually uncovers Swathi’s whereabouts, which even the police couldn’t find, but by then, she is already dead. The series then delves into pressing questions: How did Swathi die when she wasn’t seen leaving the hostel on CCTV? How did Prasadarao know her location?
