Things become worse for Verma when King robs the commissioner's house. Commissioner Kushal Singh warns Verma to arrest King within four days or get ready to be transferred to Tandarikala, a remote location which is also called the graveyard of policemen, as few policeman came back alive from there.

Amar is almost successful in arresting King but on their way back, Amar becomes injured in an incident involved with local bandits and King takes advantage of this situation and ditches Amar in the middle of the road and himself goes to Tandarikala, posing as a fake inspector. When Raja aka King reaches Tandarikala, he learns that the village is ruled by a merciless ruler, Thakur Gajendra Singh.
