PANCHAYAT SEASON 3 RECAP AND SPOILERS
Panchayat Season 3 starts on a different note as Abhishek Tripathi, now living in the city, tries to prepare for his CAT exam in hopes of pursuing an MBA. But even as he studies, his heart still belongs to Phulera-and to Rinki. Things take a sharp turn when Abhishek is transferred to a new panchayat in Bhayapur, and he plans to quit his government job altogether.
However, the situation changes unexpectedly when MLA Chandrakishore Singh gets arrested for allegedly killing a neighbor's dog. With the MLA under investigation, all administrative decisions-including Abhishek's transfer-are reversed. Much to the joy of the villagers, Abhishek is reinstated in Phulera.
Back in the village, Pradhan Ji (Brij Bhushan Dubey) refuses to accept a new sachiv. With support from Vikas and Prahlad, he blocks the replacement's entry. Meanwhile, Prahlad still grieves his son's death, staying emotionally distant yet loyal.
On the other side, Bhushan, eager to gain control, tries every trick to damage the Dubey family's credibility. Teaming up with Kranti Devi, Binod, and Madhav, he spreads mistrust among the villagers. Tensions rise when the PM Awas Yojana list favors West Phulera. Bhushan accuses the Pradhan of favoritism, and Abhishek, caught in the middle, ends up approving a controversial case to ease pressure on the administration.
Things escalate when MLA Singh, now out on bail, joins Bhushan to organize a fake peace event. The plan backfires hilariously when the MLA accidentally kills a pigeon, meant to symbolize unity. This sparks media outrage, especially after Bum Bahadur, the bird's owner, goes public.
In retaliation, Singh sends goons to attack Bum-but the villagers stand strong and defend him. In a surprising twist, Phulera's residents buy Singh's horse, using the compensation money Prahlad received. This final act of defiance leaves Singh furious and further fuels the growing rift.
PANCHAYAT SEASON 3 ENDING EXPLAINED: HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CLIMAX
The finale of Panchayat Season 3 brought a storm of unexpected twists, closing the season with high tension and many questions left hanging. Just when things seem to settle in Phulera, the calm is shattered by a sudden act of violence.
Abhishek Tripathi, heading to Kanpur for his much-awaited CAT exam, finds himself caught in chaos when masked gunmen open fire at the bus stand. Though Abhishek manages to escape unharmed, the attack leaves Pradhan Ji (Brij Bhushan Dubey) critically injured. The shocking incident sends shockwaves through the village.
While Abhishek returns immediately after his exam, his anger boils over. In an emotional outburst, he confronts and fights with MLA Singh's men, landing himself behind bars. The attack not only disrupts his future but also shakes the very core of Phulera's political scene.
Before the chaos, MLA Singh, angry at being publicly embarrassed and outsmarted, considers taking a violent path. However, just as he plans retaliation, his MP intervenes, advising him to use clever politics instead of force. Singh steps back-but the attack at the bus stand raises doubts about who's really pulling the strings.
As blame circles around, multiple theories emerge. Singh denies involvement, claiming the plan was too clumsy to be his. Some suspect Bhushan, while others wonder if Pradhan Ji staged the attack himself for public sympathy before the elections. Another possibility points to Bablu and Dablu, the local troublemakers, or even the MP, trying to clear Singh's path.
With Abhishek's career hanging and Phulera in political chaos, Panchayat Season 3 ended with a bang, leaving fans eager and anxious for what lies ahead in Season 4.
WHEN WILL PANCHAYAT SEASON 4 RELEASE ON PRIME VIDEO INDIA?
