Peeral gives a silent warning to the ASP that the district of Jhok Sial has seen many hot-blooded officers but all their efforts have gone in vain.

ASP had reopened the application for Sassi’s (Hiba Bukhari) job as a school teacher. The application was filed by her father headmaster Kamaluddin who was the headmaster in the same school. ASP is happy as it was important for the family to be financially independent after Jeevan’s death. He sends his colleague Aslam (Mazhar Suleman) to hand over the job letter to headmaster Kamaluddin.

She tells them that the police isn’t responsible for Jeevan’s assassination.
SiddySays Thinks
We have seen Farha Saeed in mostly light-hearted avatars like Arsal from Suno Chanda and Hamza from Mere Humsafar. In Jhok Sial he takes a giant leap and proves his versatility. Farhan as ASP Arsalan is a ‘performance chamaleon’. He pulls all stops for this one, he is fierce for the cruel and angel for the innocent. The character does complete justice to Farhan’s personality, acting chops and star power. And the actor equally delivers a brilliant performance, grabbing our attention the moment he enters the frame. He is the showstopper of Jhok Sial and packs a solid punch in a role tailor-made for him. The promos of the upcoming episode hint at the beginning of a romantic track between ASP Arsalan and Sassi.
