Then their lives are turned upside down when Naag Raj, one of the hoodlums who had attempted to molest Anita, returns and sexually assaults Reshmi. When Kishan comes to her rescue, he ends up killing one of the men, and setting fire to the gas station, while Naag Raj absconds. The Police arrest Kishan and he is sent to prison for several years.
