With someone reporting about the mineral water mischief, Fatakeshto gets the arch villain arrested for the crime soon.

The villain comes out of jail on bail and loots the booty and takes it to an unknown destination to make Fatakehto responsible for the theft. One of the ministers who was with the villain somehow changes mind and informs Fatakeshto the location where the booty is hidden. CM requests him to go back to his role of GOONDAGARDI (hooliganism) to recover people's money. Finally, Fatakeshto jumps into the den of the villain and fights around 200 to 300 karate masters. He finally kills the villain and captures the booty. The lost money is returned to the Chief Minister.
