Gani Bhai lands in India and meets Radhe. They both meet each other to discuss a contract of murdering a minister and bombing a school. Radhe disagrees as it would lead to the death of many innocents. While arguing, the police come and raid the club and arrest Gani Bhai too. 

Gani Bhai’s gang members abduct Ashraf’s daughter, drugged her, and creates a vulgar video of her. They used this video to blackmail the commissioner into releasing Gani Bhai.
