Thereafter, Jayanth joins trade union leader at Bhujangam's factory where too, he fights for the welfare of the workers and develops enmity with the management. On the other side, Kiran brings out all the atrocities in the factory through his news articles. So, Bhujangam deceits Jayanth by indicting him and sends jail. In jail, he gets acquainted with a goon Gangulu (Satyanarayana) and both of them become friends when Jayanth understands that tit for tat is the only way to teach a lesson to this society. Parallelly, Ravi, Kiran, Chandrika, and Neelima prove the innocence of Jayanth and get him released. At the same time, Bhujangam blasts the Kiran's press in which Jayanth's sister dies.
