As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Sherdil noticed details that no one else had. So it didn't take long for her to figure out who the real killer was and why Purvak was taking all the blame. Sherdil realized that Rajeshwari, Angad, and Shanti were faking and lying about many things.
Sherdil spoke with Bodhi, who told her that Mr. Bhatti had undergone a radical change, probably after his illness, and had started spending a lot of time with him. This was quite unusual for him, as Bhatti had long disliked Bodhi. Bodhi told Sherdil and Natasha that the day Mr. Bhatti died, he had seen Angad shooting clay pigeons, and what was unusual was that, despite being such a good shot, he hadn't hit the target even once. Just before Angad started shooting, Bodhi heard a gunshot that sounded slightly different from Angad's double-barreled gun, which meant the shot came from another gun. And the last thing Bodhi mentioned was that he saw Purvak running out of the mansion just before he saw Angad shoot.

Sherdil and Danny were also able to trace Mr. Bhatti's money and found out that a substantial amount was being transferred to a specific hospital in Budapest. Sherdil eventually found out that Mr. Bhatti was receiving treatment at that hospital as he had been diagnosed with cancer some time ago. Perhaps it was the effect of his illness or the impact of spending time with a spiritual man like Bodhi; Mr. Bhatti decided to change his will and donate most of his money to charity. Surprisingly, out of all the family members, it was Shanti who was most dismayed by her father's decision.
She was considering killing Mr. Bhatti before he changed his will when Falak, the servant, entered the room and overheard everything. This is how even Falak became part of the plan, and it was revealed that she had murdered Jaipal, as the Bhattis believed he was the loose link that would lead the police to them. They decided to include a third person in their plot to completely frame him. It was then that Shanti decided to manipulate Purvak and make him believe she was in love with him. Shanti knew her father wouldn't approve of their relationship, so she could instigate Purvak to kill him. But things didn't go according to Shanti's plan. Mr. Bhatti tested the young man, tried to break him in every way possible, but she ultimately ended up loving him, as he passed the tests with flying colors.
But the problem was that Mr. Bhatti, for a long time, didn't reveal to Purvak that he was only testing him and that he didn't actually hate him. Purvak might have reacted and done what Shanti asked if Mr. Bhatti hadn't opened up to him and told him how much he appreciated him, just in time. It was then that Purvak told him about his family's plan. Mr. Bhatti, disappointed and angry, went to talk to his family with a gun in his hand. He never imagined that his daughter, whom he loved so much, would one day try to kill him with her own hands.
It was Shanti who hugged her father and then managed to snatch the gun away. Shanti killed Pankaj Bhatti without any remorse. Purvak saw Shanti in the act and fled the mansion. But before he could leave the country, the Bhatti family tracked him down and discovered that he had a sister, whom he had brought into the country illegally with the help of Jayesh Bhai. Rajeshwari and Angad threatened to report his sister to the authorities if he didn't take the blame for Mr. Bhatti's murder. Purvak had no choice but to do as he was told.
The family then decided to put Pankaj Bhatti's body in the car and hire a hitman, just to distract them. Purvak's sister, who was also deaf and mute, was held captive by Falak, who constantly drugged her to prevent her from trying to escape. Thus, Sherdil, Natasha, and Danny managed to save the life of an innocent man and put the real culprits behind bars. Sherdil received his next case in Kenya, and I think if there's a "Detective Sherdil" sequel, we'll see him and his team back in charge, solving another mysterious murder.
Anna couldn't help but wonder how May had lost her sight. She'd seen her without sunglasses, and it looked as if someone had poked her eyes out of their sockets. To find answers, Anna went to her great-aunt Patty's house. She explained that May had been a cheerleader in high school. She was a proud young woman who loved the attention. She quickly added that May was cruel and careless, and always had to get her way. Patty knew that what she was about to say might seem impossible to Anna, so she cautiously mentioned that in small towns like theirs, myths and traditions controlled their lives, and one of them was that of Mr. Sandman.
After Patty's disturbing introduction to Mr. Sandman, we learn about him in detail towards the end. Anna discovered the giant tree in the forest where, if one wrote the names of their attackers, Mr. Sandman would seek revenge. She considered cutting it down with an axe, but it was impossible. She collapsed to the ground, and that's when she saw Mr. Sandman's past. He had been a boy named Vincent, visually impaired and with glass eyes. One day after school, two of his classmates lured him into the forest. They stole his glass eyes and used them as slingshot marbles to injure him. They laughed at his suffering, and he died after one of the glass eyes hit his head too hard. Vincent admitted that the bullies might not have thought they would end up murdering him, and perhaps it was an accident. But even then, there were no excuses for the bullies. Vincent's body was never found, and his corpse gradually decomposed in the sand. While his peers ostracized him, his soul found a home in the giant tree to which he was tied. The tree roots gave him life, and although little Vincent had died, Mr. Sandman stayed to protect the vulnerable in the small town.
The only friends Anna made after moving in with her grandmother were Shawn and Julie. They were around Anna's age, had finished school, but were still rebuilding their lives, and their usual routine consisted of spending most of the day drinking beers and just hanging out on the old docks. Considering May and Patty were the only people Anna knew in town, she was glad to have met people her own age. At first, they seemed harmless, but Anna soon discovered his dark side. Shawn didn't have a father figure to look up to; his father had recently passed away, and he had never met his mother, which seemed to take a toll on him emotionally.
He looked for ways to entertain himself and often ended up attacking the vulnerable, children, and the elderly, to assert his dominance. Simply put, he was a bully, and watching him scare Connor, a young skater, just for daring to cross him left Anna disoriented. She was too high to react, but she was also repulsed by the sight of Shawn attacking the boy. Julie found it funny and began recording the incident. Shawn ended up throwing the boy off the bridge they were on. Connor's arms broke, and he moaned and screamed in pain. Shawn thought it best to leave the boy, but Julie insisted they rescue him. They were both too high to accompany Connor to the hospital, so Anna volunteered to do it. She despised herself for not stopping Shawn when she could have, and guilt slowly began to consume her.
When Patty met Connor, she knew immediately that he had been a victim of bullies. When he refused to talk about the incident, Patty encouraged him to carve the bullies' names into the giant tree in the forest and promised that Mr. Sandman would take care of all his problems. Soon, Shawn, Julie, and Anna began having vivid nightmares. They couldn't escape their mistake even in their sleep. Anna's dark circles under her eyes became more pronounced; she was fatigued; she wanted to sleep, but couldn't, and the nightmares kept her on edge all the time.
She knew she was experiencing the exact same thing her grandmother had in high school, and she feared that, like her, she would also lose her sight for choosing to be a silent bystander instead of actively helping Connor. Anna discussed her theory with Julie and Shawn. She showed them that their names had been carved into the tree. Shawn tried to erase it, but it didn't work; his name reappeared on the bark. It was obvious something supernatural was going on, but Shawn refused to acknowledge it. Julie and Anna were done with him (especially after he pushed Anna into the lake when she said she didn't want to be around him).
After leaving him in the woods, Shawn relieved himself on the tree trunk just to debunk the theory Anna had put forward. Immediately afterward, hands with long, twisted nails appeared from behind him and gouged out his eyes. He screamed in pain and, while trying to flee, hit his head on a tree trunk, dying instantly. Julie had also been suffering from nightmares, so she and Anna decided to spend the night together in Anna's room, hoping the nightmares would be less traumatic. But they weren't. The next morning, when Julie woke up and decided to take a bath, she was attacked by Mr. Sandman. She was exhausted, and the nightmares continued to traumatize her. She began to sink into the bathtub when she suddenly came to and saw Mr. Sandman standing in front of her. He stretched out his arms and gouged out his eye. Julie screamed and tried to escape, but slipped and fell back into the bathtub.
