Akshay bolts from the jail as sirens wail and is chased through the streets. He ducks into Sudha's house and hides in a closet when Inspector Cowry arrives at the door. While concealed, he discovers the corpse of Sudha's husband Kumar dumped inside the house.

The officer breaks the news that Kumar's flight to Calcutta crashed, killing all on board. Sudha is stunned and shaken as the reality sinks in. The information sets the stage for the events that follow.

Sudha admits to Akshay that she killed her husband. The two of them hatch a plan to hide the crime by disposing of Kumar's body in an abandoned well on her estate. The arrangement marks a turning point in their uneasy alliance.

In a series of broken flashbacks, Kumar is shown as paranoid and suspicious of Sudha's fidelity. His condition drives him to push Sudha away and plan ways to catch her with other men. The seeds of violence grow from his unstable delusions.

Kumar fakes a trip to Calcutta and returns to confront Sudha about the alleged infidelity. He attacks Sudha, and in the ensuing chaos dies; Sudha comes to believe that Shashidhar killed him. The incident fuels a long shadow over the household.

Shashidhar, who had gone to report the matter, is struck by a police vehicle and ends up in a hospital. The accident compounds the tangled web of accusations and fear surrounding Sudha and Kumar's death.

In the present, Akshay, adopting the disguise of Harish, moves among the mourners and offers support to Sudha. The ruse helps him stay close and manipulate events without revealing his true role. His presence keeps the tension simmering as police close in.

Sudha begins receiving threatening calls demanding a ransom linked to the murder. The blackmailer directs her to meet at a spot with the demanded amount, adding pressure as investigators close in. The tension escalates as the plot thickens.
