This time, Madhav Mishra takes on a high-profile case involving a powerful family caught in the storm of a scandalous murder. What starts as a straightforward defense quickly spirals into an intense three-way courtroom clash—each side armed with its own version of the truth, each more believable than the last. And as always, Madhav is right in the middle of the chaos, sifting through secrets, lies, and emotional minefields with his trademark wit and moral compass.
