He joins forces with nephew Arya and convinces Vishal to enter Yashvardhans house, posing as Ajay. To facilitate matters, Ajay is kidnapped by Ravikant and Arya and held captive by them, paving the way for Vishal to take his place and leak information about Yashvardhans illegal activities to the police.
