The next day, Vishwanathan is tricked into meeting the Kurups to mediate a dispute. Vishwanathan is killed by Kanaran with an ivory tusk and it is manipulated as a death caused by an elephant. Veerabhadran takes over the reins of his family and village. In the present time, the Mala is under the possession of Kurups - falsified as a property transfer done by Vishwanathan before his death. Over the period of time, there are many inhabitants living in the Mala.
