About The Traitors
The top 5 contestants who made it to the grand finale were Uorfi, Nikita, Sudhanshu, Purav, and Harsh. A key moment happened when Purav was discussing his next move with Harsh in the billiard room, and Uorfi overheard them from outside. In the final round of suspicion, Uorfi said she believed Purav was the traitor, which led to his elimination.
