Nandi is attacked by the killer and is a hair’s breadth away from losing her life.
Her family and colleagues keep vigil at her hospital bed willing her to regain consciousness. A police raid on the worker compound results in Soda being taken into custody.
He is interrogated by a vengeful Samuel, who allowed Nandi to leave his protection, and Soda seems to be set up as prime suspect. When a police informer comes forward to ID Soda it starts to look as though Samuel’s instincts are right.
