Highlights: Smuggler’s Claim and FIR

In the June 4, 2025 episode of Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, aired at 8:30 PM IST on Zee TV, Jagriti’s (Rachana Mistry) pursuit of justice faces new challenges. While Kalikant Thakur (Aarya Babbar) hosts guests and relegates Jagriti to kitchen duties, she remains steadfast, vowing, “No task will stop me!” Suraj Thakur (Vijayendra Kumeria) supports her, defying Kalikant’s attempt to tarnish her image by involving the police. Tensions flare when Akash (Sagar Parekh) notices a tattoo of Suraj’s name on Jagriti’s neck, sparking a heated clash with Sapna (Pranjali Singh), who fumes, “How dare she claim my husband?” Jagriti uncovers a smuggler trafficking snake and lizard venom, who, under pressure, claims, “Suraj Thakur is the mastermind!” Stunned, Jagriti calls Suraj, who insists, “I’m at the SP’s office, filing an FIR against Kalikant!” Akash, reeling, urges Kalikant to intercept the FIR, whispering, “We both want Jagriti and Suraj apart.” As police question Suraj about Gungroo’s justice, he declares, “Kalikant will pay.” Will Jagriti unravel the smuggler’s true mastermind, and can she trust Suraj amidst Kalikant’s manipulations?
