One day Lakshmi unintentionally fires the bullet from her husband's revolver to Ambareesh's forehead and he becomes unconscious. With the help of Dwarakish, Vishnuvardhan's assistant in Hospital, Lakshmi takes Ambareesh's body out of the city and drops it from a bridge, thinking he has died. Without knowing all these incidents, Vishnuvardhan returns to home and finds one of the bullets missing in the revolver, which is clarified by Lakshmi's arguments.
