Sapthagiri then runs into Albert Pinto, who claims to have witnessed the accident but soon learns that he is a lackey of Rajpal and was a plan to extract more money from the Dewan family. As part of the deal, Pinto gives Sapthagiri a share of the money and turns hostile in the court. Chitti and the canteen owner Rahim Chacha chide him for compromising on justice for his greed. He returns the money to Rajpal and challenges him to win the case.

Rao also identifies Rahul Dewan as the one who drove the car. After the emotional closing arguments by Rajpal and Sapthagiri, the judge directs the police department to suspend the SI and initiate a criminal inquiry against him and also declares Rohit Dewan as guilty of the crime and sentences lifetime jail under Section 302 and 303A of the Indian Penal Code.
