And one day there comes a news that V.P Singh government had made up its mind to implement the report put forth by the Mandal Commission, which talked about giving reservations to socially backward classes. There were widespread protests held all over India and in Allahabad, Loha wants to take advantages of this situation. He pushes Daddu to fuel the fire and get students in his campus to protest against the Mandal Commission.

While all this is happening, Jhulan breaks up with him and is planned to get married off to an IAS officer who is naive and believes her stress to be nervousness. On the day riots are at their highest and students get arrested including Daddu, Jhulan is getting married same day and Daddu gets to know about it.

He disguises himself as a policeman and flies the station only to know that Jhulan is already married and has given sleeping pills to her husband. They both flee from there and go to Loha's place. Before they leave from there so that no one knows Jhulan is not with her husband Loha insists Daddu to go to riots one last time and lead the crowd.
