When he calls her back, it confirms that he wants her to stay, leading her to abandon the flight and choose him.

Kaakdi kills Gajendar because Home Minister Mahender Singh orders it. Mahender has been protecting Gajendar for political reasons, but the public fight and Gajendar's slapping of the minister cross a line. Mahender decides Gajendar is no longer useful and orders his elimination. Kaakdi, acting as Gajendar's own subordinate, carries out the execution, which also marks his rise as the new gang leader.

The Home Minister Mahender Singh has been shielding Gajendar for political gain, using the faction leader's criminal network for his own purposes. However, when Gajendar publicly slaps him and continues the violent confrontation in full view of everyone, Mahender realizes Gajendar has become a liability. The public nature of the fight makes it impossible to cover up, so Mahender cuts his losses and orders Gajendar killed to restore order and protect his own political reputation.

Foreshadowing: Earlier notes mention Mahender has long shielded Gajendar for political reasons, establishing their corrupt relationship.

When Gajendar stabs Pintoo in the chest, he uses the scarf that Radhika dropped earlier to bind the wound and stop the bleeding. This act demonstrates Pintoo's determination and survival instinct. The scarf also symbolizes Radhika's presence and love, giving him the will to continue fighting despite being severely injured.

Foreshadowing: Radhika drops the scarf during the emotional airport scene, making its later use feel meaningful.

Once Gajendar is killed, the immediate threat that drove the conflict disappears. Gajendar was the one obsessed with marrying Radhika and hunting down Pintoo. With him dead, his men and the broader criminal network no longer have a reason to pursue the couple. Kaakdi takes over as the new leader, shifting focus to his own power rather than continuing Gajendar's personal vendetta.

As the police chief, Ravikant Shukla uses the airport confrontation to arrest Gajendar for his criminal activities, which he legally can do. However, he cannot provide constant physical protection to Pintoo against Gajendar's gang. Ravikant warns Pintoo that Gajendar remains dangerous, which proves true when Gajendar attacks him in town. The arrest is a legal action, but personal protection falls outside what Ravikant can guarantee.
