Balma pleads with Bankey to give up his bad ways. Bankey breaks down and tells her the story of his life and the entry of Munna into it. During a local festivity that he has organized, Munna comes up to him and requests him to give up his bad ways. Bankey feels insulted and slaps the little boy. But repents when he comes to know that Munna is ill and goes to visit him in the hospital. He decides to reform and turns himself to the police.
The police keep him out of jail so that he may come in handy when they have to capture his Boss. The Boss is facing losses ever since Bankey has stopped working for him.
