KK is the only one who knows about the actual murder plot at the Petronas Towers, making him valuable to those seeking justice.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, the hitmen's repeated attempts to kill KK in the hospital hint that he knows something dangerous.

Vincent then framed KK for the crime by making it appear as a botched burglary at the Petronas Towers. He kills Inspector Kalpana when she gets too close to the truth and later frames Vasu for her murder to eliminate witnesses and maintain his cover.

Foreshadowing: Vincent's early warning to Kalpana to stay out of his way hints at his corrupt nature.

Vincent kills Kalpana because she is actively investigating the case and getting close to discovering his involvement in the conspiracy. When Kalpana arrives at KK's safe house to rescue Aatirah, Vincent ambushes her and shoots her dead to prevent her from uncovering the truth about the industrialist's murder and his frame job on KK. Her death also allows Vincent to later frame Vasu for the murder, eliminating another threat to his scheme.

Foreshadowing: Vincent's earlier warning to Kalpana about KK being dangerous foreshadows his willingness to eliminate anyone who investigates.

KK proves Vincent's crimes by retrieving a pen drive containing footage of the actual murder at the Petronas Towers. During the climactic police station raid, KK fights Vincent, knocks him out, and steals this evidence. The pen drive contains the real footage showing Vincent committing the murder, which exposes his role in killing the industrialist for inheritance money. This evidence leads to Vincent's arrest and clears KK's name.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, KK learns through interrogation that the Petronas incident was a murder plot, not a robbery gone wrong.

The Petronas Towers incident was not a botched robbery but a calculated murder. Vincent was hired by an industrialist's son to kill his father for inheritance money. Vincent orchestrated the murder and then framed KK by planting evidence that made it appear KK was the culprit. This is why KK is wanted for burglary and contraband dealing despite being innocent. Vincent needed a scapegoat to cover his tracks.

Foreshadowing: The timeline shows KK was admitted in a coma after an attempted murder, suggesting he was targeted rather than being the perpetrator.

Tragically, Nanda is killed during the course of the film, which drives KK's later quest for revenge against Vincent.

Foreshadowing: The kidnapper's intimate knowledge of KK's situation and his specific demand for KK's release suggests a personal connection.

Vincent is arrested after KK retrieves the pen drive containing evidence of his crimes. During the climactic confrontation at the police station, KK defeats Vincent and the evidence is revealed to the authorities. Vincent is exposed as the corrupt cop who murdered the industrialist and framed KK for the crime. He is taken into custody for his crimes.

Foreshadowing: The buildup of evidence throughout the film and KK's deliberate plan to retrieve it foreshadows Vincent's inevitable downfall.

Seven years after the main events, Vincent is murdered while on parole under mysterious circumstances. Vasu and Aatirah suspect KK is behind this revenge killing, especially after receiving a necklace from KK as a gift for their daughter. This ending implies KK took personal justice for all the wrongs done to him, including Nanda's death. The necklace serves as both a gift and a haunting reminder that KK's vengeance remains unresolved.

Foreshadowing: KK's earlier declaration of seeking revenge against those who wronged him foreshadows this final act.

Vasuis framed for Kalpana's murder by Vincent to eliminate him as a witness and prevent him from revealing the truth. Since Kalpana was killed at the safe house where Vasu was present, Vincent uses this opportunity to turn the police against Vasu. This makes Vasu a fugitive and isolates him from the authorities, allowing Vincent to continue his scheme without interference while simultaneously getting rid of someone who could expose his crimes.

Foreshadowing: Vincent's corrupt nature and his earlier elimination of Kalpana make him willing to frame anyone who threatens his plans.
