A small-time thief, Kumari, is almost a victim when she too is sedated but manages to escape, before looking at all the men, including the videographer Prashanth, Parasuram's brother. Parasuram comes across her, and she takes him to the building. He collects used syringes as a shred of evidence and hides Kumari. Prashanth is afraid that she might recognize him and reveals to the gang the place Kumari is hiding. The gang's leader attempt to kill her but fails; however, she goes blind due to a hit on her head.
Parasuram learns of SI Rayappa's possible involvement in the gang and thrashes him. The next day, he resigns and gets elected as Home Minister of the state and puts Parasuram as his security detail in-charge. Kumari gets her eyes operated on and recognizes Prashanth as the videographer of the pornography enterprise, without knowing that he is her husband's brother. Before Parasuram can get him, the gang murders him. In the hospital, he confesses to his brother that he was forced by the gang, lest they leak the video of him with a girl. Meanwhile, his fame rises due to his sincerity towards his duty and is reflected when the public hails him over the Home Minister. The Minister tries to make Parasuram put his shoe to his feet, but Parasuram thrashes him publicly with his shoe. After an outcry, he resigns.
