Mumbai is being terrorized by a
While Arjun is still mourning Tayaji's death, he is told that a new officer
Over the next few days, Karan and Arjun raid several hideouts and illicit ammunition factories belonging to Gawa and Sikandar but are unable to do much since Sikandar is an influential person in the city. One day Kajal's friend who was in an illicit relationship with Sikandar, is killed by him
Meanwhile Karan and Kajal
Some time later, Gawa manages to escape by faking his own death. Karan and Kajal are shown to be doting on an orphan named Kabir and are good friends with Kabir's guardian, a catholic priest who runs an orphanage. Gawa
Gawa then starts showing up in front of Karan and even enters his house and drugs and molests Kajal when she's alone one night. These events take a heavy toll on Karan's life, driving him to near madness. To top it all, Karan is dismissed from service and takes to drinking. Karan's informer Taxi who worked for Gawa earlier, sympathizes with him since he wants revenge for his brother, who was killed by Gawa. One night, when Karan is roaming around in a drunken state along with Taxi, the duo sense that they are being followed. Taxi realizes that it's Gawa who's following them and raises the alarm. But Gawa shoots Taxi and escapes after throwing the gun at Karan, framing him for the murder.
Karan now finds himself in a tight spot, dealing with his crumbling marriage, his duty-bound father-in-law who is leaving no stone unturned to get him and worst of all, Gawa Firozi, who is still roaming scot-free. Only Rukmani, who considers Karan as her own son openly states that she believes he is innocent and will support him no matter what. Somehow, Karan is able to meet Kajal in the temple on the day of Karwa Chauth. Kajal tells him that she still believes in him and knows that he is innocent and also that she is observing a fast for him during the day. Karan tells her that he is going to go all-out after Gawa Firozi and Kajal wishes him luck. Just as they finish their conversation, Arjun lays siege to the temple ordering Karan to surrender. However, Kajal intervenes just as Arjun points a gun at Karan, and Karan escapes, leaving Arjun fuming.▼

However, Karan's cup of woes is not yet full and he receives a final bolt when Kabir informs him that Kajal has been kidnapped by Gawa Firozi. Furious, Karan infiltrates Gawa's hideout, killing many of his henchmen and finds Kajal tied up next to a mechanical blade. Karan fights Gawa, who reminds Karan of his brother's death and says that he too will see his wife die right before his eyes. However, Karan suddenly gains the upper hand and beats up Gawa telling him that his brother was a criminal who deserved no sympathy and that Gawa himself will also meet the same fate now. Karan saves Kajal and chases Gawa who has boarded a helicopter. Karan manages to cling on the threshold of the helicopter and it takes off just as Arjun arrives at the scene with a huge police force in tow. During the fight Karan falls off taking Gawa down along with him. Karan is saved by a hanging wire while Gawa lands onto a minefield below which blows up, killing him for once and for all. Karan and Kajal reunite and Arjun, smiling, approaches them, imitating Karan's habit of munching on a carrot, indicating that he has accepted Karan.▼
