After realising their mistake, they frame him as a Maoist by planting evidence. Sekhar's lawyer, Dharma Reddy, cheats him and makes sure that he is sentenced to eight-year imprisonment. Madhu meets Geeta, an investigative journalist and unite to get clues about Sekhar's innocence. Nagesh and Diwakar force Madhu to commit suicide.
