Alongside, Govind & Ram Prasad seized Basha’s sidekick Mastan and submitted to massive torture. Before his death, he notified the residential address of his associate Ibrahim, a neighbor of Anand, whose flat number is 6. Here, Govind & Ram Prasad mistake it for nine and fire on Anand. As of now, to shield their rank, they planted proof, forged Anand as a terrorist, and the judicial destined him for life.

During that quandary, Usha remains resolute and combats crime, confronting the ignominies. She breaks out the plot behind the scenes and catches Ibrahim with backing from Srinivasa Murthy. Accordingly, Anand is acquitted on parole when Govind & Ram Prasad trigger his anger, wherefore he shatters by them. Hence, they mingle with Basha, who slaughters them after accomplishing his task.
