Meanwhile, Deputy Inspector General of Police Rudrapratap Chauhan, an honest police officer, is murdered by Pralayanath Gundaswami, as he is on his hitlist. Rudrapatap's son, Sanjay, is the only witness of his murder.While the scientists remain missing, police call Brigadier Suryadev Singh to take the matter into his own hands. Suryadev allies with honest but hot-headed Police Inspector Shivajirao Wagle, who has spent a lot of time on suspension due to his temper. When Central Minister Jeevanlal Tandel, who is an ally of Pralayanath Gundaswami, sets up a meeting with him to inform him about Suryadev Singh, Pralayanath Gundaswami questions why there is information about his glory and not a single photograph of his face. At that moment, Suryadev Singh enters the auditorium and reveals that he is the one whose face Pralayanath Gundaswami was so eager to see.
Meanwhile, on New Year's Eve, Sanjay and his friends find Radha Tandel in a very bad condition at the beach, as someone had tried to murder her. They rush her to hospital, but later flee when the staff call the police to inquire about the case. The police find a girl's dead body at the beach, then trace Sanjay by his wallet which fell at the beach on New Year's Eve and charge him with murder and attempted rape.
After knowing who Suryadev is, Pralayanath Gundaswami tries to kill him by planting a bomb in his car. However, Suryadev's car is a high tech vehicle, allowing him to escape with his driver and bodyguard Bahadur into a secret door within the car. As a result of the explosion, the news reports that he has been murdered.
After Suryadev escapes, he explains his survival to the news, and subsequently to Pralayanath through a TV interview. Pralayanath tries to kidnap Professor Khurana, but Suryadev and Waghle foil his attempt. Pralayanath then tries to kill Sanjay and his friends, but one of his friends sacrifices his life to save him on the eve of Raksha Bandhan.
