"It was me who shot Harshad. Mom is lying."

Suddenly Manik chided. Mukti placed her palm on his shoulder to control him.

"But the revolver was in Nyo's hand. How did your revolver come to her? Moreover, she gave her statement that Harshad was trying to shoot you and Nandini and she shot him to save both of you. Damn it! Can someone tell me what exactly happened?"
