Kammo convinces Raju that they are socialists and are just making sure that wealth is equally distributed in the society. Then Raju is asked to accompany the bandits to a wedding feast where he witnesses a child and the wedded couple getting killed. Having seen enough, he goes to the police, who decide to confront and kill the bandits. Unable to see their deaths, Raju goes to warn the bandits but is shunned.
