Enters Section Shankar (Yashpal Sharma), who is notorious for settlements and deals. He kills anyone who comes in his way and does not leave any evidence or witness behind. He takes a loan of ₹100 crores from a private bank with the help of a conniving DGP and a politician. The man who kills the chairman is Chandu's classmate Shafi (Amit Tiwari), who lusts for Indu. He requests Shankar that he needs Indu as his wife. So on the day of his idol opening, he sends his goons to kidnap her. Shankar's plan fails as Chandu arrives at the place and fights with him and his goons. When Shafi comes to meet Shankar, he gives his next plan, which is to kidnap her again on the next chance. When Chandu is with his brother at the police station, Indu invites him to her hometown to attend her cousin's wedding.
