Pardhu explains that he is finally returning to his village. Later that same evening, police while pursuing Nandu accidentally shoot Pardhu. Nandu escapes and not knowing what to do next, he remembers Pardhu's background. So Nandu goes to Basarlapudi in the identity of Pardhu and Pardhu's family accepts him.

He faked his death by sending a drunkard in the car at the time of the accident. Nandu records that conversation and immediately leaves for the old church, where Malli is. Nandu and Malli meet and Nandu has the gun loaded before Malli. But the same policemen who killed Pardhu barged in. Nandu manages to kill all of them and also kills Malli at the same time. Nandu hands over the recorded cassette to the CBI officer. The CBI go directly to Bajji Reddy's office and tells him that he will hand him over to the police. Bajji Reddy thinks he's bluffing.
