But the clever and shrewd Raju tells Narayan that they will remain quiet and will not reveal anything to anybody about the incriminating tape. But Raju comes in the eyes of the killers and they are chasing him to death. The cause is that Raju has seen the killings. The task of nabbing the killer is given to Kiran, the dad of Raju, who takes strong cautions for his darling son. Dr. Hameed has now called the delegation of All World Scientists and in this meeting enters Mr. X (Raghuvaran), who is the master planner of the murder of Dr. Hameed Ali. A bomb is planted near the dais by Mr. X, where Dr. Hameed Ali is about to preside.
