) who spends many time being suspended due to his temper. When Central Minister Jeevanlal Tandel who is an ally of Gendaswamy sets up a meeting with him to inform him about Suryadev Singh, Gendaswamy questions why is there information about his glory and not a single photograph of his face. At that moment Suryadev Singh enters the auditorium saying his famous dialog "Na talwar ki dhar se na goliyon ki bochar se, banda darta hai to sirf parvat digar se". And reveals that he is the one whose face Gendaswamy was so eager to see.

Meanwhile on the new years eve Harish and his friends witness an attempt of murder on Radha Tandel. They rushes her to hospital but later on flees as the staff calls police to inquire about the case. Police then trace Harish by his wallet which was left at hospital and charge him with an attempt of rape on Radha.

After knowing who Suryadev is Gendaswamy tries to kill him by planting bomb in his car. But Suryadev's car is a high tech vehicle and hence he makes an escape with his driver/bodyguard bahaddur from a below passage door in car. Then the news is wide spread that he has been murdered.
