Mumbai –Following the dramatic banishment of traitor Elnaaz in Episode 7, The Traitors India entered a new and dangerous phase with just one traitor—Purav—remaining in the castle. With suspicion rife and loyalties shifting, the show introduced a game-changing twist: Purav was given the power to execute a fellow contestant in full public view.
The chilling instructions required him to drop the photograph of his chosen target into a poison basin, a symbolic act that would ultimately lead to their elimination. This rare open-kill directive heightened the suspense and shattered the illusion of safety among contestants.
A Barren Battleground and a Ruthless Mission on The Traitors
The following day, contestants were summoned to a remote, barren location for a psychological group task. There, host Arjun Bijlani informed them that one among them had already been secretly poisoned by the traitor—and they had to figure out who.
Three contestants—Sufi, Apoorva, and Uorfi—were singled out as potential targets. With nerves fraying and alliances tested, the group was asked to vote for who they believed had been poisoned.
In a moment that would later draw regret and disbelief, five contestants, including Jannat, Jasmine, and Anshula, cast their votes for Sufi.
Sufi Eliminated: Shock and Tears Follow
When Arjun confirmed the result, and Purav’s poisoned target was revealed to be Sufi, silence fell over the group. The betrayal stung deeply—particularly for Apoorva, who shared a close bond with Sufi throughout the show. She broke down in tears, visibly shaken by the outcome.
Sufi, known for his composed, intuitive, and fair gameplay, exited gracefully—leaving both contestants and viewers reeling from the impact of his sudden elimination.
Purav Gains Power; Harsh Recruited as New Traitor
The twist didn’t end there. Later that evening, in a secret ceremony, Harsh was covertly recruited as the second traitor, balancing the scales again and setting the stage for more deception in upcoming episodes.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Social media erupted following the episode, with many fans expressing shock and sadness over Sufi’s departure. Viewers hailed him as one of the show’s most authentic players, and many questioned the decisions of those who voted against him.
With trust now in short supply and traitors regaining numbers, The Traitors India promises even greater twists as the mind games deepen.
