When he suspects and attempts to frisk Pratap, Hridaynath chastises him and Pratap escapes.
Predictably when Amit notices his wallet missing, he confronts the Sikh man and makes a fool of himself, as it is Pratap who has the wallet. First, he takes advantage of a careless Sikh man in their way and deliberately arranges for them to bump into him and steals Amit's wallet in the ensuing melee. Frustrated, Pratap sets out to destroy Amit's character. Unfortunately for him, Priya has a fiance Amit that she loves very much and she introduces him to Pratap. This is where he plans to seduce Priya in order to marry her and vows no one can dare to come in his way. He then informs her dad and sister that she has died of a heart attack, and convinces them to leave Dehra Dun and live with him in Ranikhet. So to get the ball rolling, he kills Geeta by drugging and then suffocating her with a polythene bag. Quite unknown to Hridaynath, Pratap has set his eyes on Priya and wants her for himself, so much so that he is willing to kill Geeta and get re-married to Priya on the pretext that Munna needs looking after. Shortly after that Geeta and Pratap leave back home for Ranikhet, and it then that Hridaynath finds out that his loan has been repaid and that they also have a telephone now - thanks to Pratap. They find out that Hridaynath is under constant threat from a loan shark he had borrowed money from to get Geeta married. Geeta, Pratap and their new-born son, Munna, pay them a visit and live with them for a few days. After the marriage of his daughter, Geeta, with army Major Pratap Singh, widower Hridaynath lives a simple middle-class existence with his unmarried daughter, Priya, in Dehra Dun.
