Harika lodges a complaint regarding this with the authorities, leading to her safety being threatened by Bob Marley’s associates in Hyderabad. Theda Singh always protects her from them, so she starts falling for him. Suddenly, the RAW authorities are in for a shock when they realize that Theda Singh is not what he appears to be, he has recently landed from Portugal. Harika also comes to know that Sarika was murdered in Portugal and that the killer is none other than Singh.
The Indian Police Authority arrests Singh. In the interrogation, he reveals the flashback.
