Nevertheless, Talpade, a greedy and perverted Inspector, has a thing for Jhanvi and forces her to marry him, threatening to rape Jhanvi’s mother if she refuses. Jhanvi’s landlord informs Talpade of Radhe’s presence.
He tries to intimidate Radhe, but after being outsmarted by him, he becomes terrified of him.
Radhe is hired by Gani Bhai, an international don who travels in India for the purpose of assassination. Gani Bhai’s gang is based outside of India. The gang boss of Gani Bhai’s group is Golden Bhai. Datta Pawle’s and Gani Bhai’s gangs are fighting for control of the city of Mumbai. As a result, Commissioner Ashraf Taufiq Khan makes the decision to make Mumbai crime-free. He detains Gani Bhai, who makes many unsuccessful efforts to reach Radhe. After his men abduct his daughter and post an obscene video of her online, Ashraf is blackmailed into releasing Gani Bhai.
His daughter discloses a mission involving an IPS officer, Rajveer Singh Shekhawat, murdering Gani Bhai, while under the influence of narcotics. Gani Bhai kidnaps Rajveer Shekhawat’s father, Shrikant Shekhawat since his identity remains a mystery. Shrikant joyfully tells him about his son while remaining anonymous. Ajay, Rajveer’s adoptive brother, is mistaken for Rajveer Shekhawat by Gani Bhai, who murders him. Gani Bhai realises his error and forces Shrikant to expose Rajveer’s true identity. Gani Bhai murders Shrikant as he refuses to tell him the truth. Rajveer Shekhawat, who is later revealed to be Radhe, arrives at his father’s death scene.
