After taking initial statements and beginning the investigation, Inspector Pyare Mohan received a cryptic phone call from an anonymous caller warning him to close the file. The threat suggested that someone was closely watching the investigation and wanted the case dropped, introducing an element of danger and intimidation into the probe.

The case was transferred to CBI Officer Jasraj Patel after insufficient evidence and a series of troubling developments pushed the investigation beyond the local police's jurisdiction. New evidence emerged that warranted a higher-level investigation, leading to Patel and his assistant Gangaram taking over the case.

After CBI Officer Jasraj Patel and his assistant Gangaram took over the investigation, they re-examined the evidence and successfully identified the corpse as Roshni Choubey. Her identification provided a crucial focal point for establishing motive and understanding the social context of the case.

Roshni Choubey came from a poor family with four unmarried sisters. This detail about her precarious social position provided context for understanding the men in her life and how their motives might be weighed during the investigation.

Investigators learned that Roshni had connections with several men at the Army Hospital: Dr. Kamal Dogra, Mohan Multani, Captain Ajit Verma, and Bishan Nanda. Each man was examined for potential motives and alibis were checked, though the investigation later revealed the actual killer was not among those with romantic involvement.

After extensive investigation and reevaluation of evidence and motives, Patel came to doubt that the murder was committed by any of the men Roshni was romantically involved with. He continued investigating, considering alternate explanations and searching for overlooked evidence, which ultimately led to the discovery that Bishan Nanda was the actual killer.

Patel dug deeper despite escalating threats to his safety, pressing beyond the obvious suspects and reexamining assumptions. His persistence in pursuing solid evidence and willingness to place himself in harm's way led to the discovery that Bishan Nanda, driven by lust, was responsible for Roshni's murder.
