Suspension and internal betrayal exposed
During Shivani and Inspector Fatima's ongoing investigation, Ramanujan recovers. A major setback gradually arises when it's revealed that Amma and Ramanujan are running an underground illegal business together. Breaking Ramanujan's trust is a personal betrayal for Shivani. Shivani succeeds in getting both of them arrested, but the key witness in the case dies under mysterious circumstances, which are not ruled a suicide. Following this incident, under pressure from corrupt forces, the police release Ramanujan, and Shivani Roy is suspended from the police force.
Mardaani 3 has a shocking twist in the ending.
Meanwhile, despite her suspension, Shivani Roy continues her private investigation. Eventually, she uncovers a horrifying truth. This isn't just any smuggling operation, but a massive medical racket. The gang is running an undercover operation to conduct clinical trials of a cancer treatment. Children are kidnapped and subjected to the treatment. Those who test positive are killed so their organs can be harvested. Those who test negative are kept for further testing. Shivani then has a final encounter with Amma, who is killed in an encounter. But Ramanujan's end is even more brutal and memorable. After confirming that all the girls are safe, Shivani Roy brings an experimental injection of the same cancer treatment and injects it into Ramanujan. Ramanujan doesn't die, but the injection leaves him completely paralyzed and in a vegetative state, trapped in that moment for the rest of his life. It's a harsh, poetic justice for his crimes.
