Our people are on the job too.

How is mom?

She's putting up a brave front,

but from within she..

SP Sharma himself filed the report.

He's charged you under

sections 353, 337 and 307.

But you'll get bail.

l've stated in my report..

Mr. Prithvi had no weapons.

That's my only regret.

- lf l had a gun l would've..

- Prithvi!

Uncle.

No one touches SP Sharma.

l'll deal with him myself.

You've made all my dreams

come true, friend.

You changed the poster!

l'm screwed, sir.

Now, they believe l was involved

even in your uncle's murder.

lf he gets bail..

he'll kill me.

You didn't charge him appropriately.

You should've used

sections 376 and 341.

He would've been in your custody.

Section 376?

- That's a rape charge.

- Correct.

So tell me..

where should we

lodge the rape complaint?

lsn't she..

A totally genuine case, SP.

Prithvi promised to

make her a candidate..

and for three years he

sexually exploited her.

lt's a serious charge.

What if she backs out?

Sir..

l've been through hell.

Finally, l'm in safe hands now.

l will get an election ticket here.

There's no question of backing out.

- there seems to be No end to the

misery of the Rashtrawadi Party.

ln a sensational twist..

Prithviraj, who has already

been charged for assaulting..

..a police officer,

has now been accused of

raping a party worker.

Denied bail, he's been remanded

to police custody for 15 days.

l deny every charge

levelled against Prithvi.

We shall approach the

high court for his bail.

Our supreme leader, Bhanu Pratap

is still fighting for his life.

First Chandra Pratap, and now this.

- We Are being attacked repeatedly.

- And on the pretext of

investigating, the inept..

..government ls doing nothing.

- But the people demand answers.

- Victory to Rashtrawadi!

- Victory to Veerendra Pratap!

You want me to sign this?

Have you lost it?

- You don't have a choice.

- Okay.

Go home and take care of mom.

l can deal with these people.

But that's only if you get out.

Your bail application was denied.

Since it is a rape charge..

women's organisations and

the media are up in arms.

But, how will signing this help?

Leave that to me, brother.

Trust me.

l'll get you out of here.

They'll pay for this heavily.

Everyone of them!

l've made a big mistake, Sir.

Am appealing to your kindness.

l am younger than you..

so deserve forgiveness.

Sorry.

Hey Sharma!

Have you gone mad?

That's my brother, my uncle.

Come, Uncle Brij.

l don't why all this is happening.

Looks like someone

cast an evil eye on us.

l'm sorry that you're

having to face this.

But don't you worry.

l will take care of everything.

The party..

as well as the family.

That's Sooraj.. he's like family.

How is Aunt? Please sit.

l'm taking mom to New York.

The right decision. Absolutely!

Don't worry about Prithvi.

l'll move heaven and

earth to get him bail.

Without him this election.. - My

brother won't contest the election.

l'm taking him along too.

He's resigned from the party post.

He won't return from New York.

- You mean.. he's never coming back?

- Never!

The party is all yours.

Just one condition.

All charges against

him should be dropped.

Can be done.

l'll manage the

investigation report.

One more thing.

After three days is

his court hearing.

Until then, if he..

or any member of my family..

is hurt in a mishap, of any kind..

l'll call this deal off.

Nothing of that sort will happen.

Martyr's day, indeed!

What a farce!

Master..

All this pomp.. decorations..

huge photographs..

What was the need for all this?

Oh?

Bothering you, is it?

lf you wish,

we can put up yours too.

Seems the cops didn't

look after you well enough.

Brother, please.. not now.

Enough of this circus, Samar.

Your boat has capsized.

Time to exit the scene now..

for your own good.

What is good for us,

and what isn't..

will be our decision now, Veeru.

And as soon as you step out..

you'll know the

public's decision too.

Come on.

Leave.

- Chandra Pratap!

- you are immortal..

Orchestrate as many

slogans as you wish!

After the funeral..

a long and dark exile awaits you!

They aren't going anywhere.

They never intended to.

So Samar..?

Trusting him was a big mistake.

l can't..

accept this.

Father, you have to

expel Prithvi from the party.

He's a traitor.

He'll destroy the party from within.

Do this for your son.

lf l expel Prithvi..

it will trigger a..

wave of public sympathy..

for him.

But father, tolerating him

is just impossible for me!

Both father and son

treated me like dirt.

l hate that man.

Son..

this is politics.

Here, keep your enemies..

close to you.

The real enemy isn't Prithvi.

lt's Samar!

This was expected.
