It is then shown that Yashwant Aangre is tracking the team for reasons best known to him.

On route, the van becomes dysfunctional, and the team halts at a secluded bungalow. Anant calls Naidu to apprise him of the events and send a police team.

The team is soon attacked at the bungalow by Aangre and his men. Shekhar tries to surrender Ansari to Aangre, but Anant objects. At this point, the plot turns when Ansari tells them that the terrorists are there to kill him, not free him. He was a doctor in Chandangarh when journalist Bhaskar Joshi informed him that the communal riots were actually engineered by minister Deodhar, who killed a few social workers who had compiled evidence that would've jailed him. Bhaskar had the file containing the evidence and wanted the post-mortem reports from Ansari, to expose Deodhar but was killed, and when Ansari refused to cooperate with the wrongdoers, corrupt cops framed him as a terrorist. | The team is soon attacked at the bungalow by Aangre and his men.

The team soon plan to get away on an empty train to Mumbai with the recovering Ansari. Aangre's gang arrive, but the team has taken precautions.

Anant and Ashwin now attack Naidu and make him spill the beans; they locate Aangre by following Mahalakshmi. In a shootout, Aangre uses Mahalakshmi as a shield, and she dies.

With compelling evidence from the file, the court convicts Aangre, Deodhar and Naidu for life, much to the relief of Ansari's family, who is no longer branded a [[traitor]], for whom Anant promises to take care of Ansari's son. On route jail, Aangre sees the bolts holding his handcuffs loose. He grabs a rifle and tries to escape, only to realize the rifle is empty. Ashwin shoots Aangre and shows him the screws of the bolts, indicating that this was a setup for an encounter. He then calls headquarters, informing them that Aangre has been fatally wounded while trying to escape from custody "despite warning", as the credits roll. | With compelling evidence from the file, the court convicts Aangre, Deodhar and Naidu for life, much to the relief of Ansari's family, who is no longer branded a [[traitor]] and [[terrorist]], for whom Anant promises to take care of Ansari's son.
