Episode 4 picks up immediately after the cliffhanger of Episode 3, where Bima Babu (played with nervous energy by a then-unknown theatre actor) accidentally sold a "Suraksha Kavach" policy to a ghost who doesn’t want to be saved.
Titled "Laash ka LIC" (The Corpse’s LIC), the episode opens in a claustrophobic, rain-lashed office in a fictitious Uttar Pradesh town, "Atkora." Babu is trapped between two worlds: his nagging, ailing mother who needs a 50,000 INR surgery, and a vengeful spirit named Maheshwari—a 65-year-old retired school teacher who died due to a claim rejection. bima babu episode 4 hiwebxseriescom 2021

Tum jaisi gareeb ki aatma hi toh franchise hoti hai.” (They have their own policies. It’s the souls of the poor that become the franchise.)
