After faking his death, Gawa resurfaces and deliberately targets an orphanage run by a Catholic priest who is close to Karan and Kajal.

Gawa enters Karan's home multiple times while Karan is away, drugging Kajal when she is alone. This psychological torture drives Karan toward madness, especially after his suspension from service.
