Keerthana was stabbed by Adhiban, a seemingly friendly villager who was actually a serial sexual predator. He attacked Keerthana not because of any family feud, but because of his predatory nature. At first, Sargunam wrongly assumed Vairavan's violent world was responsible, creating further tension between the families.

Foreshadowing: Adhiban is introduced as a benign figure, masking his true predatory nature until the investigation reveals his crimes.

Mathangi goes to Adhiban's house and kills him in self-defense when he attempts to molest her. She later discovers that Adhiban was also responsible for assaulting Keerthana.

Vairavan is portrayed as a wealthy, influential figure who uses his power to protect and assist the villagers. When a man's tractor goes missing and the police mistreat him, Vairavan steps in to help. He fights off hitmen hired to kill him and uses his criminal methods for what he sees as the greater good, protecting his community and helping those who cannot get justice through legal means.

Foreshadowing: The opening scene establishes Vairavan as both feared and beloved, a complex figure in the village power structure.

Sargunam discovers that Adhiban was the serial predator who attacked Keerthana and that Mathangi killed him in self-defense.

Vairavan gets rid of Adhiban's body to protect the community from scandal and to shield Mathangi from legal consequences. He maintains his image as a protector while eliminating a genuine threat to the village's women. This act demonstrates how Vairavan blurs the line between criminal and caretaker, using his methods to handle problems the police cannot solve.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, Vairavan's willingness to take matters into his own hands has been established through his confrontations with enemies.

After Sargunam learns the full truth, that Adhiban was a predator who attacked Keerthana, that Mathangi killed him in self-defense, and that Vairavan disposed of the body to protect everyone, he realizes there was no real enemy between the families. The revelation that the violence came from an external predator rather than from Vairavan's world allows Sargunam to put aside his grievances.
