Six months prior, Vikram traveled to a town called Devgarh as the modern ASP. There, a goon called Baapji and his child Munna caused inconvenience, tormenting and attaching cash from the villagers. Vikram instantly captured Munna by drive for assaulting Vishal's spouse, but he was discharged since of Baapji's political impact. Baapji organized a party celebrating Munna's discharge.

Shiva guarantees and says that Chinki is presently his girl. Vikram grins and kicks the bucket holding Shiva's hand. Shiva, vowing to total Vikram's unfinished work, takes on Vikram's character and goes to Devgarh with Chinki to take vindicate. Paro finds out the truth and comes to there since she still cherishes Shiva (in spite of the fact that he still alludes to himself as Vikram Rathore). She accommodates with him and promises that she will too take care of Chinki. Shiva sets Baapji's alcohol production line on fire and disseminates the grains and cash back to the villagers. He too empowered police officers to beat Baapji and teams with sticks. Taking after a overwhelming climax, Shiva inevitably murders Baapji and Titla, and salvages Paro and Chinki after they are captured by Baapji and Titla.
