As the encounter squad goes on a shooting spree, Sadhu starts getting threats from unknown parties. Soon, Sadhu's son is targeted by the gangsters and is shot while walking on the beach. Rawale informs Sadhu that Rauf has done it. Sadhu nabs Rauf. He initially denies being the culprit but later accepts it.

) by someone, whom Sadhu trusts a lot. Before Rauf could give away the name, he gets shot by Thorat. The latter says he was ordered to do so. It is soon announced that Rawale would be returning to Mumbai and may join politics soon. Both Sadhu and Shalu suspects that the home minister is involved in the CM's assassination and was the one who took Rawale's help to plot the murder.
Sadhu confronts the home minister, and the latter admits it, saying his political career wouldn't have taken off in the presence of the CM, who didn't favour him and his devious activities. He also dares Sadhu to expose him, having a firm opinion that no one would believe Sadhu.
Sadhu decides to give up, but Shalu tells him that she has found evidence against the home minister, a video proof of his meeting with Rawale, but before she could pick up the CD, she gets shot by Thorat, who is now revealed to be the home minister's henchman. Sadhu arrives at the nick of time and shoots Thorat dead before he can kill Shalu.
Sadhu goes to an event, where the home minister is to pay tribute to the late CM. Sadhu steps on stage, requests he be given an opportunity to speak. After appreciating the Home Minister, he quickly moves towards him and stabs a sharp pen into his shoulder, thus killing him.
The film continues at the present time, where Commissioner Pradhan is shown interrogating Sadhu. As he leaves the room, Sadhu asks Pradhan to take care of Aman, and it is implied that Aman is still alive. His death was merely faked to eliminate the underworld. An epilogue is shown where we are told that Sadhu was given life imprisonment for also killing Rawale in the same jail where both were imprisoned together.
