Despite being arrested and imprisoned, the trio managed to come out of prison, where they killed Gopal Rao and his family except Vijay, Durga and their mother. When Vijay and Durga approached the police to report the killings, the police brushed them off by stating that the accused were in prison when the murders took place and hence the murder could not have committed by them. The trio's method of committing the murders with an alibi registers in Vijay's mind and decides to take vengeance on them in the same way.
However, Durga feels they should be punished legally and takes up the case 15 years after the murders.
