Today's episode of Kumkum Bhagya starts with Abhi (Shabbir Ahluwalia) being proven guilty as the cctv video is played. Abhi is seen to be entering the hotel and the room. The prosecution says that this is enough to prove that Abhi is guilty. Dadi stands up and starts shouting as she says that all thisbis a lie and that her Abhi did not kill anyone. Abhi walks down to hug his Dadi and calm her. Later the judge declares that it has been proven that Abhi is guilty as charged. At this point Pragya enters and stops the judge. She proclaims that Simonika is alive. She calls out to Simonika.

Simonika enters the court followed by Purab and Disha. Avantika now dressed up as Simonika walks up to the stand and takes her place. Everyone in the court is shocked. Abhi looks at Pragya (Sriti Jha) as she walks to Dadi and Sarla Ma and takes her seat. The lawyer now as instructed by Pragya now speaks to Avantika asking her what her nane is. Avantika confidently replies that she is Simonika. She then starts her story of how Abhi followed her and she was very scared as she sped in an auto. She says she reached the hotel and locked herself in. Then Abhi too entered and suddenly he fainted.

Simonika says that she made use of the opportunity and snuck away with the help of a ladder from the window of the hotel. The prosecution then questions Avantika about how it happened that a ladder was there. The prosecution refuses to believe that this is Simonika and asks her to identify the witness which she does.

The court is convinced that it is indeed Simonika and decides to give the verdict after a break. Abhi is overwhelmed as he meets his family and hugs them all. He meets Pragya and tells her that she is the reason for all of this. They meet outside as the family plans a grand party to welcome Abhi. Pragya tells Abhi about giving away their house and property. Disha feels dizzy but lets it go. Later Avantika is seen calling her husband to ask about the papers. He says that he got the papers. Avantika asks her husband to come to the court. The court starts after break and once again Simonika takes the stand. Now the prosecution declares that this is not Simonika but Avantika and also presents her driving license as proof.
