Throughout the first four episodes, we've seen Mohan's transformation from a naive and idealistic young man to a someone who is increasingly disillusioned with the ashram and its teachings. We've also been introduced to several other characters, including Chanda (played by Chaitanya Choudhury), a disillusioned follower of Baba, and Rinku (played by Kashish Duggal), a young woman who is trapped in the ashram.

Later, Tinka interviews a former ashram accountant who fled years ago. The accountant reveals the modus operandi: followers are convinced to donate all their property. The land is then sold to politicians at inflated prices, creating a massive slush fund. This is the first time the show explicitly connects the spiritual corruption to systemic financial fraud.
