As they enter Bombay, Rana is nabbed by ACP Vijay and is arrested. Vijay starts his investigation to reach the roots of this Mafia through Rana, when orders come from the home ministry to shift Rana from Bombay custody to Bangalore court for many previous serious crimes.

Vijay, along with his friend ACP Amit ([[Pankaj Dheer]]), join him to re-arrest Rana. Vishnu, who is in charge of Rana's case gets them permission, on two conditions; that Vijay and Amit can't use their weapons and police uniforms.

Their relationship ended as Anita's father Ex-Chief Minister Niranjan Das refused to let her daughter marry an ordinary Police Officer.
