Plot

One key finding about Aimee's rape let's Kasturi and Angad extract more confessions from that fateful night and beyond. Mahadev identifies the Nar Tendua.

Nutan (Taneesha Joshi) asks Bunty to meet her, after the latter's name has been cleared. Chottu attempts to abduct Nutan (On Kuber's instructions) to blackmail Kasturi but is stopped by her husband Hari (Vivek Madan) and Bunty. Govind reveals to Angad and Kasturi that his lover was killed by the 'Nartendua' 19 years ago, and he heads out on lunar eclipses to hunt it down and take revenge.

According to Dr Joshi's report Gagan's semen sample matches the one found on Aimee's body. Gagan Sexually assaulted her after Kanti left the room. Chottu reveals that Kuber asked him to kill Aimee (& to put her body into Kanti's car) to prevent Gagan from going to jail, since he would use this information to blackmail the DC into convincing Jagadamba to approve building a resort in Sironah. Bunty was forced to take the blame, so that the case could be closed. KAsturi and Angad are perplexed that if Chottu killed Aimee inside hotel Bom, then how did her body reach the jungle and got hanged.

Kuber gets info that Chottu has spilled the plot. He decides to leave for Nepal with Omi. Mahadev does some digging up, and comes to the conclusion that Jagadamba's servant Nandan is an ex-hangman from Kanpur jail who move to Sironah, and was responsible for the killings 19 years ago, making him the real 'Nartendua'. The noose used in all killings in Sironah is the exact same as made by a hangman. Ravi tells Angad that Omi and Kuber are headed for the Nepal border.

They warn Jagadamba, but it is revealed that she was the one who ordered Nandan to take care of Aimee after Chottu murdered her and put her in Kanti's car to frame him. But she was unaware that he was the 'Nartendua'. Nandan confesses to Jagadamba that he killed all those women because he has always been in love with Jagdamba and his jealousy of her husband caused him to vent out his anger through murders. He used the myth to his advantage, making everyone believe that the cause was supernatural. He also killed Sundar to stop him from taking Kanti's name in court.

Jagadamba is frightened and attempts to escape, but Nandan, after some effort, catches her and takes her to the jungle before the police can arrive. Nandan tussles with Kasturi first, and then Mahadev. Kasturi finds Jagadamba heavily injured by Nandan's claw weapon. Mahadev, with help from Govind, subdues Nandan and hangs him from a rope, telling Govind to get more men while he watches him.

While the others face the Nartendua, Angad follows Omi and indulges in a gunfight. Kasturi comes to support her. Using her expertise in rifle shooting, she hits Omi, but he manages to injure Angad. Bleeding, Angad reaches Omi and urges him to reveal what happened to Maroot. Omi tells him that his son is alive, but shoots Angad, leaving Kasturi distraught. He lies on the ground with his injuries.

Maroot is revealed to now be a drug peddler for Omi with the code name 'Rabbit'. When one client refuses to pay, Maroot stabs him in the eye without flinching, showing he had become a thug like Omi. The fate of Jagadamba, Nandan and Angad all hang in the balance, as a glimpse of the mysterious mushrooms, that were mentioned throughout the show, is given. Aranyak ends with a reflection in the water of the actual Nartendua, proving its existence. The folklore is real, and will presumably be explored in the second season
