Ayalum Njanum Thammil (2012) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Ravi deliberately withheld treatment to get revenge on Purushothaman, who had previously harassed him and prevented his marriage to Sainu. When the critically ill girl was brought to Redemption Hospital, Ravi chose to let her condition worsen rather than save her, standing firm against the pleas of the hospital staff. This act of negligence was only stopped when Dr. Samuel intervened and treated the girl himself, publicly reprimanding Ravi for his behavior.

Foreshadowing: The seeds of this grudge were planted when Purushothaman stopped Ravi's secret marriage plans and subjected him to harassment during his early days in Munnar.
