She shows a picture of her and her husband to them. Parambroto then takes Vidya to the Monalisa Guest House, where Vidya's husband stayed when he came to Kolkata, but the person in the guest house claims person with such name was never there. Vidya becomes angry and decides to stay back in the guest house and solve the mystery herself. She then goes to the National data center where her husband was working. There she meets a lady from HR who tells her that this person never worked there. But, when the HR lady see the photograph of her husband she thinks of other similar looking person and tells Vidya to meet her later.
Meanwhile, Vidya befriends Rana, local inspector. He helps her in every way to find the husband. Vidya finds that the terrorist responsible for the metro killings has got a similar face as her husband.So she sets out to find the terrorist hoping that when she finds the terrorist her husband will also be found. Due to the sensitive nature of the blast, IB officer Khan from Delhi is sent to look into the case. Rana is asked to help Khan. Before HR lady could help Vidya, she is killed. And, then starts the suspense thriller.... After this 3 more deaths occur and attempt is made to kill Vidya. But, ultimately Vidya meets the man she was searching and Milind asks for the files from Vidya. In a rage, she is hit on her lower abdomen, what seems to be labor accident. She acts to be hurt, and when Milind comes closer to see her, she takes out her a knife from under her cosmetic abdomen, and stabs him on his thighs and neck. He still tries to escape. Vidya then shoots him with his own gun, and escapes.
